Rob Thomas – Lonely No More Lyrics

15 years ago

I think it is about a person who wants past all the lies and things you can put up to make it seem like you know everything, but words are only words, and you wanna make sure they aren't gonna change into a person you don't like anymore. And he likes her but she stays closed to him but she still hooks him in and makes him think he has a chance and its angering, and he doesn't wanna be alone and angry anymore, and he doesn't want lies. And maybe they don't treat eachother the way they should, and if they did things would be better and they wouldn't be lonely or angry.

Rob Thomas – Give Me The Meltdown Lyrics

15 years ago

It's just taking out your frustrations with the world. And he wants to be the object of that, instead of other things. Like maybe the person got angry and that left whatever monkey stands for to die, and later you feel bad about it and you lie about the cause. And everyday you feel more and more worn down. You lie cause it is easier than the truth sometimes, but then you think about what you did and you want something better than the lies. And he wants to help. But to change you have to realize you are only as good as the person you create with the lies.

Rob Thomas – Problem Girl Lyrics	15 years ago
Everyone thinks you are the problem that causes them to be sad. They smile fakely and it makes you feel worse. And he is saying that it isn't her fault. You worry about what they think and say, and you don't have to. You can stand and ignore them, or fall and listen. But she isn't really the problem, she is just who they blame.

Rob Thomas – Fire On The Mountain Lyrics

15 years ago

It's like how in the world we see all the bad things and do nothing about it. 'How can you sleep while the city's burning How do you drink when there's blood in the water' It is like the present how we pretend life is perfect everywhere and ignore the hard times other people are having. And he feels like the good future is fading away. And people should save themselves before they get the bad end.

Rob Thomas – Gasoline Lyrics

15 years ago

You live in the middle of what you want and what you don't. And you feel like you are stuck there, so you lie and say that is where you want to be. You pretend you are happy, 'you see the light from where you are' you try and see the good parts where they aren't. And he wants to help her, but it pushes her away from him, so it burned like gasoline. He is trying to give her what she needs, but it does everything bad to him.

Rob Thomas – Fallin' to Pieces Lyrics	15 years ago
I think it has a girl who is falling apart but that he can help her turn it all around. And for her everything is just falling to pieces and he wants to be there for her. But one of the great things about his songs is that they have universal meaning, and only he knows why he wrote them, but we can all take our shot at it and come up with our own meanings.

Rob Thomas – I Am an Illusion Lyrics	15 years ago
He kind of feels like everything is going to hell with himself. He's everything he doesn't want to be and he is an illusion of the person he wants to be, and is real to other people, but to himself is a clone of the jerks that are in the world. He is the damage to himself, but the relief to others with his music.

Rob Thomas – Mockingbird Lyrics

15 years ago

In “Mockingbird,” a couple decides that happiness comes in falling apart, not staying together. The up-tempo beat belies the fact that “there’s nothing happy about that one at all,” Thomas says. They got lost and they have nowhere to go, so they should just fall where they are and see what happens. They tried everything to be happy and none of it worked and they just feel stuck. They want to be together but everything is going against them. He wants to help her, but nature and everything else wants them to be apart. And they tried everything nut the Mockingbird won't sing.

Rob Thomas – Cradlesong Lyrics

15 years ago

Even though we have to deal with horrible people, we can keep ourselves away, and even though the world can be a cruel place, he wants to comfort the person he counts as 'we'. He will sing for her as long as it takes to make her feel better. And maybe he doesn't mean as much to her as he hopes, so he feels like the ghost, not the real thing for her. And even though we can be victims, we don't have to feel like it. We can let it go. And things can get bad, but you don't have to change what you like and go places you don't wanna be. And all he wants it to be able to help this person and calm her and make her feel at home. When all their friends left, he will stay and sing her the 'Cradlesong'

Rob Thomas – Getting Late Lyrics	15 years ago
It is about the passage of time and no matter how much you wish it wasn't, life moves on whether you're ready or not. You try and make sure your life is made up well, but life won't wait for you to get it together. You have to live it moment by moment, and then you realize it is getting later in your life and you haven't noticed.

Rob Thomas – Ever the Same Lyrics

15 years ago

I think he used to think they were strong, and now they are breaking down and falling apart, and he wants to support her even when he has to support himself as well, and he wants them to be one, and free, and never change how they feel. And they are scared about what is going to happen next with her disease, and he wants to be her support system. 'You may need me there to carry all your weight' And he will. He wants them to be there for eachother and hold on to eachother and stay the same forever. And he says she's no burden. And he feels like all he can give her is love, but he wants to give her so much more.

Rob Thomas – Hard On You Lyrics	15 years ago
I think he feels like sometimes he does things he doesn't mean, but she means everything to him, and he is just trying to let her know. 'I didn't mean to be mean when I said All the things I said to you' Just kind of proves my meaning. Everybody has downs where they snap and he is apologizing for all those times. He really cares even when he screws up.

Rob Thomas – Her Diamonds Lyrics

15 years ago

He says it is about him and his wife dealing with her autoimmune thing. And she cries, and all he can do is watch and he feels bad about it and all he can do is empathize and sympathize because he can't do anything to really help her. And she thinks about it alot and he doesn't want to make her stop if it's what she wants and all he wants to do is help, even though as far as curing her goes he can't. It's just a couple dealing with life on a day to day basis because that's all they can do. They can't see what is going to happen next.

Rob Thomas – All That I am Lyrics

15 years ago

I think that he likes a girl or something and he just feels like everything he is isn't good enough, but he will still give her everything he has and everything he is. He says he's a blindman for a watchdog, and that to me just seems like he feels useless to whoever this person is, maybe it is him and his wife dealing with her autoimmune disease. He feels like he cant do anything to help her, but he still gives her all that he is.
