| Breaking Benjamin – Give Me A Sign Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Truly awe inspiring song...so many interpretations... to me it seems to be more about someone watching a loved one (friend, family, lover) suffering, and the dilemma it is causing them. they can see their loved one's pain but don't know how to help, and the ironic truth that we often have to for help helping people. The chorus especially suggests this, with the first five lines seeing their pain and asking to help, and the last lines describing how the inability to help them (the loved one) is destroying them (the one trying to help). Just my opinion, as ever, but i thought i'd share it. |

[oops, didn't mean to press that :P fail] ... this song also kind of reminds me of how me an my gf got together, except the other way round, with her persuading me to give it a go and see how it turned out. quite a fw of my friends told me i was being an ass for 'leading her on' and 'giving her false hopes', but we're still together, and it turns out that it was one of the best things that's ever happened to me. [sorry for the sop story, but it does link in] so anyway, i think the song might have a deeper meaning, just telling us to ignore the doubters and just go for it, even if people look down on you for it, because if you end up happy, that's all that matters, and if it doesn't, at least you gave it a chance, and you haven't lost anything. this moral can be applied to all aspects of life, not just to love, which is the subject of the song. i think that's right, opinions? love you Pippa xxxxx <3 |

i dunno, all this talk about vampires, i'd say that siriuslove is much closer, and that all the references to vampires are metaphorical of the love that the subjects of the song are feeling, and the reference to 'drink this blood' meaning accept this love, possibly she is unsure if she should love him, has he done something that he now regrets, or is he just different to most people? either way i'd say she feels that other people, maybe friends or parents, would disapprove, and he's trying to tell her that their love can conquer any doubts others have, 'this one last bond'. just ideas here, but maybe move away from the vampires theme anyway, it's a great song, one of the best i've hard, and i can't believe so few people have commented |

| to be honest, i'd say this was one of the more heartfelt ones, i'd say the lack of comments was probably more to do with the fact it isn't a multi-layered song, simple and to the point...honest... | |
| Shakira – Underneath Your Clothes Lyrics | 15 years ago |

just a personal opinion, and some of what i'm saying has already been mentioned, but i would agree with tinamarie in that she is not literally talking about what is underneath his clothes, but more using clothes as a metaphor for the act people put on when around strangers, which everyone does; and that she is talking about the man underneath the act the rest of the world knows. "Because of you I forgot the Smart ways to lie" The song can be taken at face value, just to mean that she loves him; but i think it can also be interpreted as telling us to look beneath the 'clothes'(acts) people wear, and to know the person behind them, and basically coming back to the time honoured fable of 'don't judge a book by it's cover' please give me your opinions on my interpretation of this amazingly evocative song love you pippa xxxxxxxxxxxx <3 |

i think you have a point, but possibly the way the chorus does not directly link to the verse is supposed to show how she feels differently about the person she's singing about to people she's loved before, which goes with the ending 'nothing like your love' i dunno if i'm being biased just cos my gf showed me this song yesterday and said pretty much that, but it works. this really is an amazing song as are most of her other songs love you Pippa xxxxxxxxx <3 |

simply because the song can be interpreted as talking about caressing Lucifer rather than condemning him does not make it an attack on Christianity. nowhere in pencils interpretation did he say that we should worship Lucifer, or that god is wrong; he simply seems to be conveying actually a very Christian message, which is to love All people indiscriminatingly, and not to judge them for what they believe, or the mistakes they have made. it seems to me that the song is talking about how Lucifer made a mistake, and is now suffering for it because now the whole world is living in hatred of him, because we 'need someone to blame' for the suffering that we face. we are all then taught to hate him, because that is how it has always been, and that is how we are taught. "you believe, but what you see" i believe the song is describing how it is this hatred that has caused a self fulfilling prophecy, and that as he has only known hate, that is all he can reciprocate towards us. and so we fall into the "never ending rain" in our hearts, the never ceasing cycle of hatred. "you receive, but what you give" he then has to try and find those who are not taught to hate him, NOT to corrupt them against god, but just to love him as well, and to show them that he isn't just some evil beast bent on the destruction of heaven. "reaching, searching for something untouched" but as those who are taught to hate him hear of his efforts, their prejudice blinds them to his real motives. they only see what they have been taught to see, him trying to corrupt people against god, and so their hatred it fuelled even more. "hearing voices of the never fading calling" did Jesus not teach us to 'love thy enemy'? that is the message of this song, that we should not simply accept and "believe but what we see" all around us, but to question whether the prejudices we hold are justified, and that a little more understanding can go a long way. (great example of this above, where people simply assumed that pencils talking about loving Lucifer meant he was a Satanist, and the aggression then showed started an argument, whereas if everyone involved had been a bit more cautious i their accusations it need never have happened.) i'd just like to thank pencils for his inspired interpretation of what is undoubtedly an amazing song :D btw i'm sorry for my automatic use of 'he', 'his', and 'him', but i cant be bothered to go back and change them. |
