| Something Corporate – Konstantine Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This song is so much like me and my CURRENT boyfriend. It's crazy. It sounds like something I would have written for him... Only I'm not this good with words. I'm the one that hurt him. Our story is layed out just like this one. I cheated on him. I still loved him. I just made a horrible mistake, we broke up, he couldn't let me go but he tried, he had all of these dreams for us before I hurt him that I ruined, he had a new girlfriend but we were both still madly in love with each other and hooked up while he was with her because she wasn't right and didn't love him, it really wasn't easy to hurt him. It's a very long story, but it was something I felt like I had to do. His/my best friend was dying and wanted to marry me first, so hurting my boyfriend really was the hardest decision ever. After we hooked up, he tried to still be with his new girlfriend, but he would still break down and end up flirting with me and getting my hopes up, so it wasn't hard to dream that he would always be my Jason. I don't think anyone could ever hurt him like I did. Because he is so in love with me. We finally both broke up with our new significant others because it just wasn't right for us to be with anyone other than each other. We decided to date again and are so happy together right now. He loves playing this song on the piano so he told me to listen to it one day. I said, "Do you realize how much this is like us?" He hadn't until I pointed it out.... lol. This is our song now. I love it :) | |
| Hawthorne Heights – Unforgivable Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I'm not sure yet what I think this song is about. I'm 99% sure that it's not about a girlfriend/boyfriend relationship, though. Hawthorne Heights has a lot of songs where it sounds like they are to a girl, but really, they're about music, life, stuff like that. Hawthorne Heights loves metaphors. Plus, all of them are in very stable relationships. It could be about how they kind of disappeared from the music business for a little while after Casey died. I need to study the lyrics more. | |
| Flyleaf – All Around Me Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I agree with your idea, but I also believe that most songs are meant to make the listener decide what it means to THEM. Not what the song is supposed to mean. I am an athiest (with my own twist. Ghosts are almost a spiritual, religious thing in my life. The ghosts of humans that have died.), so I don't think of the christian god or any other higher power when I listen to it. I think of my fiance that recently died. "My hands are searching for you My arms are outstretched towards you I feel you on my fingertips My tongue dances behind my lips for you This fire rising through my being Burning I'm not used to seeing you" This makes me think of how I was trying to still feel close to him after he died instead of feeling so lost and empty. And then I finally started getting letters from him that he wrote before he died, and having strange supernatural things happen to me. "I'm alive, I'm alive I can feel you all around me Thickening the air I'm breathing Holding on to what I'm feeling Savoring this heart that's healing" I felt dead without him at first. But then when all these crazy things started happening,I felt like I had him back. I felt alive again. Now I can feel him all around me. When I get upset, he's here comforting me. When I'm happy, he's here being happy with me. When I'm trying to achieve something, he's helping me do it and keeping me strong. "My hands float up above me And you whisper you love me And I begin to fade Into our secret place The music makes me sway The angels singing say we are alone with you I am alone and they are too with you" I sometimes litterally reach up to him and beg for help. I always get some sort of response. This makes me almost feel high. I can be crying and want to die, but when I get that sign that he's there, I immediately start laughing and smiling, and feel fine afterwards. And when this happens, I'm completely oblivious to the rest of the world. It's just me and him and nothing else. We always used songs to express our feelings to each other. So in a perfect place with just me and him, there has to be music. I believe in angels, but not the same way that most people do. Angels, to me, have nothing to do with a god. They are my loved ones that have died and are making sure I succeed and move on and recover from the loss. So when i hear the part about angels in this song, I think of getting to be with the people I love that died. "And so I cry The light is white And I see you" When people have near-death experiences and claim to have seen a white light, people that do not believe in a god say it is created by your mind at that time. Which makes sense. There are a million neurotransmitters in your brain sending signals all over your body and making your 5 senses work. So if you have a near-death experience, your body is actually shut down. Maybe it causes your neurotransmitters that allow you to see "freak out" and create the illusion of a white light. So I take this line very metaphorically. When I'm upset about him, i feel like I'm dying. I'm metaphorically dying, see the white light, and he's there to rescue me. "Take my hand I give it to you Now you owe me All I am You said you would never leave me I believe you I believe' I'm giving him my hand asking for him to continue helping me through life. He now owes me the help I'm asking for. He told me in one of his letters that he would never leave me. He would always be watching over me and if I still need someone to talk to, just think of him and he'll be there. And even though I might not hear or see him, he's there. For a while I didn't believe it. I was feeling so low that I ignored his letters and the signs and everything. But then I started believeing and realized that I wasn't seeing and hearing everything because I was too upset to pay attention. I'm not expecting anyone to agree with me, because this is very personal, and most people don't believe in ghosts. You don't have to agree. I just like to post what songs mean to me. I like to give people something to think about from a different perspective. |

| Rise Against – Savior Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I also agree with ReDonkUlus. But to me, we don't need to be able to figure out the real meaning of a song. Music is there to inspire us and for us to relate it to our own lives whether or not it is really the same situation that we are in. | |
| Rise Against – Savior Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| To me, this song is about a girl trying to save a boy from ruining his life. In the first part, I think that aging face is his. Drugs and alcohol speed up the aging process of your skin. And he feels forgotten, because everyone else has given up on him. He's in too deep and feels like it is impossible to get out. He says "It kills me not to know this, but I've all but just forgotten what the color of her eyes were and her scars and how she got them" because drug and alcohol addiction makes you stop caring about all the important things in your life. My boyfriend was on drugs part of the time we were together, and before it became a big problem, he was the sweetest, most caring guy ever, but when his addiction got really bad, he was a whole different person. He stopped caring about my feelings and started pushing me away. He went back to normal after he quit using. "There is no reconciliation that will put me in my place" He feels guilty for everything he's put her through and they could put an end to all their problems and be happy together again, but he will still feel guilty for what he did. "there is no time like the present to drink these draining seconds" "Drink" can mean "to take in through the senses." Maybe he is saying that now is the time that he should be enjoying his life that is going by so fast. "but seldom do these words ring true when I'm constantly failing you" He can’t believe that he should turn his life around because he feels so bad about failing her, so he wants to punish himself. “like walls that we just can’t break through until we disappear” walls are often used to describe the feeling of being trapped. He’s trapped with wanting to change because he loves her, but not wanting to change because he feels like he needs to punish himself for the pain he’s already caused her. He feels like he can’t get out until he is dead (disappears). “So tell me now, if this ain’t love, then how do we get out? Cause I don’t know” The relationship is more than just a normal boyfriend/girlfriend/love one. She doesn’t want to leave him because she doesn’t love him anymore. And he hasn’t stopped loving her either. But he knows he’s hurting her. It’s hard to end it because it’s not because of love. They are still in love. It’s because it’s an unhealthy relationship. “That’s when she said ‘I don’t hate you, boy, I just wanna save you while there’s still something left to save” She wants to help him get better. She is maybe leaving him just to show him that he will lose her forever if he doesn’t change. I have done this before. “That’s when I told her ‘I love you girl, but I’m not the answer for the questions that you still have.” He is maybe trying to tell her that he loves her, but he is just a waste of time. He isn’t good enough for her and can’t give her what she needs, even though he wants to. “And the day pressed on like crushing weights. For no man does it ever wait” His life keeps going on and it’s like torture to him. He wishes he could just freeze time for a while, but that’s not possible. “Like memories of dying days that deafen us like hurricanes” The present is just as bad as the past. Memories of the past make him feel a feeling as intense and horrible as the sound of a hurricane. “Bathed in flames we held the brand uncurled the fingers in your hand, pressed into the flesh like sand, now do you understand?” A brand is a piece of charred or burning wood. I think he is trying to say here that he is “killing” her by making her worry so much and put all her energy into trying to help him. When he says “we” he is maybe talking about himself plus whatever addiction he is suffering with. He maybe says her fingers were curled into her hand because she died fighting for him? Well she didn’t really die, but it’s all a big metaphor. And he’s asking her if she understands what is going to happen if she doesn’t just give up on him and move on. Now they are back to the prechorus and chorus. Again, it’s hard for him to be telling her all this because neither of them want their relationship to be over, but he is trying to save the girl from saving him. “One thousand miles away” He’s so far from where he should be in life. He feels like it’s so far, that he can never get there. “There’s nothing left to say” There’s no hope. They have no other choice than for her to move on and live, instead of her trying to help him and dying from all the stress and loss of energy. “And so much left that I don’t know” He’s not the answer to the questions she still has. He can’t be what she needs him to be. “We never had a choice” He feels like it is impossible for him to change, so they don’t have the choice to be happy together. “This world is too much noise” This makes me think of the hurricane noise again. He feels like life is too difficult to go through sober. “It takes me under once again” Maybe he tried to change, but relapsed. They go through the whole cycle all over again. I could be totally, wrong, but this is just my own opinion, since this is what I went through with my boyfriend. It seems pretty accurate to me, but a lot of songs can only be explained by the writer. I love this song, by the way. It is my ringtone for my boyfriend on my cell lol | |
| The Spill Canvas – Sunsets And Car Crashes Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| this is the greatest love song I have ever heard. I first heard this song shortly after I got engaged to my boyfriend. We had an extremely strong relationship because we did not actually get together until after we learned that he was dying from kidney failure. We were best friends before, but after he told me he was dying he admitted that he was in love with me and he knew he only had a few months left, so the only thing he wanted to do before he died was marry me. I had fallen in love with him, too, so we decided to get married. This whole conversation happened at the end of November, 2009. We were planning to get married on January 13th, 2010. When I heard this song, I thought it was the most beautiful thing I had ever heard, so I told my fiance that he needed to listen to it sometime. He finally did very early in the morning on December 18th, 2009 after telling me to listen to "Girl" by Davey Jones and "Tonight" by FM Static (We always said we were just like "A Walk To Remember"). We always stayed up really late talking. He said he needed to go to bed right after he heard the song, and I knew he was weak from his condition, so I agreed and we said our "goodnights" and "I love you's" and went to bed. I got woken up by the phone ringing that morning around 10AM. I never get out of bed just to answer the phone, but that time I felt like I had to for some reason. It was my cousin. My fiance Josh's best friend Jason didn't have a phone to call me, so he told my cousin on Facebook that Josh was dead. This song is even more meaningful to me now than it was before because it makes me feel closer to him when I listen to it since it was one of the last things he did before he died. He wrote me letters that I recieved after he died like "PS I Love You", and I found out that he knew he was dying that night. He just wanted the very short time we had left together to be happy like any other night. This was the only love song I have ever heard that seemed good enough to be my song for him. When I "collapse", he always does "revive" me. Losing him is the hardest thing I've ever had to go through, but when I don't think I can make it any longer, lines from his letters always pop into my head and give me the strength to keep going. He was so positve in his letters even though he knew he was dying. He even wrote a funny one just so he would still be able to make me laugh. He wanted me to be happy, so when I get upset, I remember that and feel better. My self esteem gets very low at times, but Josh had the biggest ego ever. He would always joke and tell me "So I saw a really hot guy today, but then I realized I was looking in a mirror." And if a guy like that thinks I'm beautiful, then I really must be. Sometimes I feel really lonely. We were both only 20 years old and he wanted me to move on and be happy with someone else, but after being with him, no one seemed good enough. He promised me in one letter that I would get married and have kids someday. I thought about it and wanted to be with someone new, but I wanted it to be someone that I knew Josh would approve of. Me and his best friend Jason got together and are still together now. It will never be the same, but I know Josh is happy and proud of me, and me and Jason have an amazing relationship. It's just different. I've rambled a lot, but I love this song. It is the perfect song for the sweetest, most amazing man that ever lived. | |
