Sara Bareilles – Gravity Lyrics 11 years ago
you know when you hear a song and it completely relates to your current situation, to the T? this is it. this song is all about being weak for a person who doesn't deserve you. not being able to let go, when you know you have to. And the other person seeing that, and taking advantage of how you'll do just about anything for them. "but you're on to me, and all over me."

Blink-182 – I Miss You Lyrics 12 years ago
I still cant wrap my head around the meaning of the hook. it made sense to me once.. really good sense. But now I'm just as confused as I'll ever be.

This has to be one of the most emotional songs I've ever heard. It has the power to bring you back to a place where you wished you'd never return. Yet you listen to it over and over, regardless. The words, the melody.. his voice. So captivating. A persons voice never made me feel so alive, but on the verge of death. it makes me hurt.

I agree this song can be interpreted in many ways. For me it will only ever mean one thing.

(Hello there, the angel from my nightmare
the shadow in the background of the morgue)

I was in love with a man, who was no good for me. He was toxic. I couldn't get enough of him. I'd never been so addicted to anything in my life. This infatuation made me do things I would never do... I made a lot of mistakes. My life became a nightmare. And even though his magnetism was the reason for my self destruction... it didn't matter. I still had him. he would never leave me. The angel from my nightmare. The morgue, we were both headed there. we were waiting. it was okay, as long as he was there. I would die for him. this is how I felt about me.. and how he felt about me in return. the next line is him talking to me.

The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley,
we can live like jack and sally if we want
where you can always find me
and well have Halloween on Christmas
and in the night, we'll wish this never ends
well wish this never ends.

I wasn't expecting my life to get so bad. I was a victim to his deadly charm. He would have loved for me to stay with him, in his misery. and he would never change. I would always find him there, he was not like the rest. he was backwards, and I was too. I never wanted to leave him. and even though even the brightest of days became dark, we never wanted it to end. we were content in our misery, because we had eachother.

where are you? and I'm so sorry
I cannot sleep, I cannot dream tonight
I need somebody and always, this sick, strange darkness
comes creeping on, so haunting everytime
and as I stared I counted the webs from all the spiders
gashing things and eating their insides
like the indecision to call you
and hear your voice of treason
will you come home and stop this pain tonight
stop this pain tonight

*Where are you? And I'm so sorry* Probably the most emotional line in the whole song, but I cant really decide. obviously, it ended. We lost eachother. We were both alone, with nothing to do but stare at the ceiling and miss one another. sleep was not possible, dreaming was longed for, beacsue when we dreamed, we were together. being alone was hard. I never wanted to be alone, because it made me think about how I lost everything just to have him... and now he was gone just like everything else in my life. being alone made my mind wander to places he kept me out of. I needed him there to distract me. so he could keep doing what he was doing all along. distracting me from reality.

the spiders are a metaphor for the emptiness, and how bad my stomach turned every time I wanted to pick up that phone.. or every time I did, and he never answered. Where was he? he was lost somewhere. His prescence was the only thing that would stop the pain of emptiness I felt. I just wanted him to come home, even though I knew we could never be.

don't waste your time on me. you're already the voice inside my head. I miss you.

I still don't know. don't bother trying to find me, you're already just a memory. but I will always love you. I miss you.

Paramore – Brick by Boring Brick Lyrics 16 years ago
i think its about someone who has many dreams about a future with a person they adore at the time.

"So one day he found her crying
Coiled up on the dirty ground
Her prince finally came to save her
And the rest you can figure out"

and the rest you can figure out... it seems to me like the girl and guy got married, but after a while of marrage it wasnt all she thought it would be. like she became a housewife, doing the same thing erveryday, not being happy. hense the part..

"Well, make sure to build your home
Brick by boring brick
Or the wolf's gonna blow it down"

i stress the word booring in the sentence. it seems like shes saying you have to live that way, stop living in a non-realistic world, or your world will fall apart(or a wold will come blow your house down).

"Well, go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
We'll bury the castle, bury the castle"

the expression.. building castles in the sky and the expression you have your head in the clouds go hand in hand here. its like the girlk realized that her life didnt turn out to be the fairytale she once dreamed of, so now shes going to bury the castle in the sky, becasue she realized theres no such thing as fairlytrales. and, "keep your feet on the ground while your heads in the sky" is like shes trying to teach someone not to belive in fairytales becasue they wont come true.

Paramore – When It Rains Lyrics 16 years ago
this song just hits me so hard, everytime. definetly one of my favorite songs ever. honestly i can relate to every paramore song so well. sometimes i wish i wrote all their songs first ;p

but anyway, i agree completely with azoura ... "Upon reading the lyrics it sounds more like a plea for someone to escape from their addiction/depression" , because i myself am the person struggling with depression/addiction, which perhaps is why this song hitts me so hard...
