| Evanescence – Everybody's Fool Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Also in regard to the line at the end You are everybody's fool i also see that being in the day of judgement Christ will show how foolish the world system (Whore woman of revelation) really was and expose her for the lie and fraud she truly is and how she fooled everyone who is unsaved! Again my view of this song and also it shows in regard to my other interpretations that if you live a fake life you will become a fool to everyone and eventually somehow sometime be exposed for the fraud you are. | |
| Evanescence – Everybody's Fool Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This song in my opinion is about a girl who brought into the promises of society and was promised everything that our corrupt society offers. Great job, great boyfriend, perfect friends and family, free sex, drugs etc and she took it all on board. Though she realized that all those things never promised her anything but pain and heartache. I guess the reason i see this is the girl she is talking about reminds me of the whore of Babylon in the book of revelation and she is a symbol for the world system. That system that we prostitute ourselves too and live for thinking it will give us all we need when it cant. It hide behind this mask of beauty but in reality is dead and cannot save us. Basically i see that she is saying the world hurt her bad it burnt her and has everyone fooled. She since now knows that Christ has saved her yet is still so angry that this happened. She see why cant society see how ive been hurt. Basically that is one of my interpretations on this song and i agree with alot of other comments she has also directed this song at herself as hatred to that fake persona she puts on in order to feel accepted something i can relate too and so hate about myself. Though im changing that part of me before i end up everybody's fool. Also i see it as a direct go at society's love and passion for fakeness and for sucking up fake people instead of being humble. These are my views of interpretation and i could be wrong but yeah its a song that can be interpreted in many ways regardless of Amy's real reason for writing it. | |

| I agree with you there my ex best friend did the same to me. He portrayed everything a person could want in a friend. Though he used me so much and hurt me really bad. Anyways since i ended the friendship due to his controlling ways ive sinced realised he has become everybody's fool. Im so glad to have people like that out of my life and its a true blessing in disguise for he never was my friend and never will be. Great song my a great band a song that can be interpretated in so many different ways! | |

I feel this song is about her being stuck in a helpless place somewhere she is feeling so alone and so depressed maybe feeling like no one cares for her. Basically she seeks for peace and deliverance from this problem. She calls upon the name of the Lord for that deliverance and she finds the comfort and peace only he can bring. In the first verse he appears to her and she is wondering where he came from. Maybe she was reading the bible and some scripture came to her that really was needed at this time for her or maybe he manifested in a vision/dream or real life or even sent an angel to do his work for angels are messages from god and hence always be near me guardian angel. Also this could be meaning Christ as some theologians believe the Angel of the Lord in the Old Testament was the pre-incarnate Christ although im not certain. Yet in the second he seems to console with these words If you should go, you should know...I love you If you should go, you should know..I'm here If she should go out into the painful world and deal with the problem he tells her i love you If she should go he says remember im here right with you Christ is always with those who believe in him and he will never leave nor will he forsake us and will guide us through the most darkest and painful of situations. I love the latin it really make the song and i see that as her plea to the Lord and she knows he will hear it and deliver her from this. She knows there is no fear now that the Lord is with her. Such a beautiful song and driven by faith really helps me in times of Darkness. |

| The Cranberries – Away Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I agree with you goodriddance its about being in so much pain yet not wanting people too see. I think basically she longs for heaven she is in so much pain hence "another world rapped up inside another place". Describing somewhere that is free from pain. She is praying for her and others to heal and to get better. | |
| The Cranberries – Analyse Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This song so its home for me. I have a huge problem with always looking into things too much. Actually only last night my roommate told me "you look into stuff to much man" as we were discussing a tiff i had with him. We need to learn not to analyse stuff so much as it does paralyze our evolution of growth and maturity. I gotta enjoy the life God has given me and use it for his glory rather than be so negative and critical of everything i or someone else does. Another great song by Dolores and The Cranberries=) | |
| The Cranberries – No Need To Argue Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This song reminds me so much of my Ex best friend. Basically whenever i hear it reminds me of the friendship. We did everything together and had so many good times but in the back of my mind i knew it wasn't gonna last i knew there was something deceptive about this guy and there was he stabbed me in the back and found others but although it hurt and its painful i still hold a place for this friendship in my heart not due to him but due to the major things it taught me. This song in a way as i agree with XxJanetelliaxX kind of consoles me and encourages me also. I have put to death this friendship but will always take the good ive learnt from it as that is special to me! | |
| Dolores O'Riordan – In the Garden Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Well i see this song on two levels first off i see it as describing a women who has been violated in a horrid way over a period of time. I feel maybe rape/molestation of some sort? Defiantly an ongoing offence has occurred somewhere in this womens life!( I can't remember when this offence begun) Maybe by a grandfather/brother or even a best friend she tried to help? Maybe even her ex boyfriend, who knows it doesn't say but it has happened. It has to be someone she trusted/loved due to the nature of the lyric "I thought i knew you" describing her putting some love and trust into them. "I cant go there" or "you cant come here" a stranger really wouldn't care well not usually on staying in contact with a victim so im leaning to someone she once loved and trusted has subtly taken advantage of her over time and caused a major ongoing offence on her. Now he is threatening her somehow to keep quiet and stay quiet "I'll keep my secret with me until I die". Maybe threatening to take their daughter from her? This has killed her inside and now she just feels numb not knowing how to deal with the pain, life just keeps going "round and round" in motionless circles for her. The mental effect is taking its toll on her big time. She also has children i believe with this person "I see her playing in the Garden i was once like her" meaning she used to be like her daughter and she will not let the same happen to her as it did herself. "Like your father" i believe is referring to the offender, basically she must know the father of this person which makes me think he was a boyfriend/ex husband and father of the daughter playing in the garden. She has spent some time with the family (maybe even been part of it if married) or heard about his fathers problems and maybe she was trying to help this guy get away from his father maybe they became involved and he was trying to be different to his abusive father but turned out to be like father like son. He "cant come here" i believe refers to him not talking about the problem he caused she don't wanna go there with him he doesn't care its all a joke to him he cant cry he hold's no account for what he did and really it's her problem to him, he sounds like an evil person. The chorus tells me he still must see her on a regular basis maybe he is the father of her daughter (and no i do not believe the woman in the song is Dolores iv'e heard her real husband is a loving family man). She will not go there and revisit the pain she will cry, she is ruined, her soul is fragmented and she now accepts it as a cross she must bear this guy turned her paradise into a nightmare. Every time she see's him the nightmare stars again another way i also see "round and round and round" as it starts again. The second level i see this song is on a spiritual level. Basically in the Garden i believe refers to eden a place of perfection/paradise and innocence although no ones life is perfect now in a fallen world i believe this woman felt her life was going good in many ways she felt as though she was in eden. Then i believe the guy who destroyed her is like his father the devil. Satan is a schemer he is subtle and uses people. This guy mimics the style of his spiritual father Satan as Satan deceived Eve i believe this guy got the woman deceived somehow and now she is paying so bad due to his awful offences. He caused a panic in her paradise as the Serpent Satan caused a huge panic due to deceiving Eve although she holds the responsibility as she chose to eat therefore i know this woman feels so much regret over her choice in getting involved with this man. I know Dolores is a Christian and it is evident in a few of the Cranberries songs and The Journey on following album and i feel she is using this biblical theme to show the deception and pain this man caused. As Adam and Eve were thrown out of the Garden and into a world of Turmoil so has this woman. She sees her daughter still in the Innocence of the garden and she remembers being in the garden as im sure many times after their expulsion Adam and Eve wished to be back in their state of innocence but to late they now suffer at the hands of Satan and the consequence of their rebellion against God. Basically this is my in depth view of the song and the 2 meanings i sense are to do describing it but i could very well be wrong and i respect and also agree on some of the other interpretations listed above. Like most songs they can be interpreted any way the listener wants. I have always found the Cranberries and Dolores work very helpful in times of Pain and heartache. Blessings Nate |

| Dolores O'Riordan – You set me on fire Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Im surprised no one has commented on this song yet? Its very moving especially when you have been involved in a situation where she has been. Basically i see this song as being betrayed by someone very close to you someone you trused (Lover, Best friend, family member). I like the way she says you set me on fire meaning as you burnt me quite interesting way to put it and i really like it. I have just broke off a friendship with my now ex best friend and this song explains exactly how im feeling. He was a huge part of my life he was like a brother to me yet betrayed my confidence all along he really set me on fire. I thought i could get through this yet it still hurts so much. Great song to get through the pain | |
