| Emilie Autumn – Swallow Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| It sounds to me like she's talking about a psychiatrist. "Swallowing" being swallowing pills. Taking her sea level down, being stabilizing her mood. Talking about trust, is talking about whether or not she can trust them. Filthy Victorians, etc. talks about how it's in her genes. | |
| Superchick – Courage Lyrics | 16 years ago |

This song is amazing. It makes me tear up every time for a variety of reasons: - How much I relate to it. It sounds very much like me. - Except, that is, for the parts where she's talking to someone who is helping her through it. I told my 2 best friends that I was struggling with a myriad of things, ED, SI, etc., but they haven't even mentioned it since or showed worry or tried to help at all. It's like I never said anything. It really makes me feel bad, and this song brings up that hurt. But I love it to bits and listen to it on repeat, it's beautiful. <3 |

I guess your life experiences are what you see in this song. Emotional pain = emotional cuts, etc. From the very first time I heard this, I could never see it as anything besides physical cutting, because I do/did it myself. It describes it beautifully and perfectly, to me. |

| I completely agree. I saw that one night and I was like "WTF"?! It just doesn't fit! | |

| Nina Gordon – Tonight And The Rest Of My Life Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
To me, this really strikes me as an eating disorder song. It describes how one feels when they haven't eaten. "Down to the earth I fell;With dripping wings,;Heavy things won't fly" - They realize they feel fat. "And the sky might catch on fire;And burn the axis of the world;That's why;I prefer a sunless sky;To the glittering and stinging in my eye" - Such a realization shatters your world. "Feel so light;This is all I wanna feel tonight;Feel so light;Tonight and the rest of my life" - Lying in bed and feeling weightless after no food and weight loss. "Gleaming in the dark sea;I'm as light as air;Floating there breathlessly" - Feeling lightheaded. "When the dream dissolves I open up my eyes;I realize that;Everything is shoreless sea" - Coming back to 'reality' and feeling 'fat' again. Etc. etc. That's just one way I see it, I also see how all of you interpret it and it makes sense as well. The story of Icarus is my most favourite, though. : ) |

| Lily Allen – The Fear Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
The way I see it, this is a clever little double-meaning song. I see the Hollywood satire you all see, in yet I also see a very well worded song about an eating disorder. "I'll look at the sun and I'll look in the mirror I'm on the right track, yeah I'm on to a winner" May be about reading tabloids, but could also be about looking into a literal mirror and seeing progress. "I don't know what's right and what's real anymore And I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore When do you think it will all become clear?" -It messes with your head and you don't see the true you. She actually admitted to body dysmorphic disorder in an interview, which this describes perfectly. 'Cause I'm being taken over by The Fear" - The Fear could be the fear of being overweight. "And I am a weapon of massive consumption And it's not my fault, it's how I'm programmed to function" -Talking about how she's programmed to eat. "Forget about guns and forget ammunition 'Cause I'm killing 'em all on my own little mission" - Forget about food and cravings, because I'm ridding myself of it all by myself! "Now I'm not a saint, but I'm not a sinner Now everything's cool as long as I'm getting thinner" - Does this need explaining? But that is just another interpretation, the one about Hollywood is perfectly valid as well. |

| The Dresden Dolls – First Orgasm Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I honestly think that this is about waking up and getting realization, or sobbing, after a breakup. "The first orgasm of the morning is cold and hard as hell, (Sudden, depressing realization of loneliness) there won't be any second coming as far as I can tell. (It was only a brief moment of realization, there's no need for another) I arch my back cause I'm very close now (Leaning over to cry, or something similar) it's very cold here by the window (Feeling lonely and depressed without anyone there)" |
