I think I understand really well what this song is saying, because I've gone through those stages before during a breakup. The first verse is directed at the fact that he doesn't deserve the girl, that she's too good for him. "So if you love me let me go." it sounds like a bit of self pity in a way. Almost like grieving to the point that he himself FEELS pathetic. The second verse sounds a little more like anger is taking over, and the truth is being revealed, that she was the cause of the problem. "But all of that was ripped apart, when you refused to fight, so save your breath I will not care!" sounds like he realizes she didn't want the relationship to go on, which threw him into a fit of rage, thus bringing in the third v erse. "So break yourself against my stones, and spit your pity in my soul, you never needed any help, you sold me out to save yourself." and that's the most i think I can make of it. It's the stages we usually go through with a really bad breakup. First we blame ourselves, then we look at the past (the person who took it the hardest anyway) and start seeing a larger picture, then the truth comes out and we become so furious we begin to hate the other person. That's my 2 cents anyway. |

| Deftones – Change (In the House of Flies) Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I find it a song to be of the final stages of change that you go through, before you commit suicide. The changes make the person unrecognizable, thus turning into a fly. The line I find that most stands this out, is when it's going into the last chorus. "I look at the cross, then I look away, give you (or me, there's alot of different wordings) blow me away." He looks at the cross, which symbolizes hope, peace, love for you christians out there, of course that's not what it used to represent -_-, then he looks away, meaning he's turned his back on God, he's turned from love, he's lost all faith, and then of course "blow me away" | |

This is another of those songs which I find quite interesting. After Rock Band 1, and playing it hundreds of times *shudders* I simply came to dislike it... all my other friends say they love it, despite the fact they've never heard such a depressing song, and I reply "I don't know what you're talking about, it's not that depressing to me." And it really isn't. All great theories, that it's about a boy, being rejected by a girl, because he feels he isn't good enough. But I think it's a little deeper and darker than that. One line in particular strikes me as odd, that nobody can seem able to explain, and they continually forget it. "I don't care if it hurts, I want to have control, I want a perfect body, I want a perfect soul." As for the first two stanzas, I'll get to them in a second. The second two is what I want to focus on first off and foremost, because I think they're crucial to the darker side of the story. "I want a perfect body, I want a perfect soul." at face value, these two lines can be interpreted, "I wish I looked better, I'm not good enough for them." But what if that's not the meaning at all? What if it's an representation of the girl? Now we'll look at the first two stanzas. "I don't care if it hurts, I wanna have control." What could this mean in any other way? Except that, "I want to take you, even if you don't want me. I want to be in control of us." that seems like an indication of 'force' or 'aggression', 'violence' whatever you wish to call it. So, if we combine the two with our newly interpreted phrases, "I don't care if you don't want me, I want your perfect body, I want to be in control of it, you're so pure and innocent." etc etc etc, you get the gist -.- . now, I understand that SOMEONE is going to come and tell me off for making such an "outrageous claim" note this, I don't claim anything. I'm not accusing anyone or anything, I'm not saying it's implied rape or anything of the sort. I'm giving my three bits of an interpretation, and so far nobody has been able to explain it, which really just makes me wonder. Is it so far off to think that's what it might be about? It's a song, talking about a boy who's frustrated at the fact that the girl might reject him, and she's so beautiful, so pretty, so sexy. I get the image of them being on the streets, on a train, he's watching her from an alley. I can't quite picture the song taking place in a cafe, or a school, or a business office. Usually rapists are either angry at their victims gender, or the woman in general, or they want to be in control. To have that rush, or just to prove they're man enough to satisfy a woman. If he were completely frustrated with the idea of not being with her, does it seem so far fetched that a man might go after a woman, despite her willingness or not? And, if he's not upset with her, does it not seem like he would simply like to have her for a night, to prove that he could be something more, to have a perfect body, a perfect soul? If he's a creep, would he not want to taint that innocence, that purity? After all, misery loves company. Alot of songs are about a boy and a girl being in love, but one thing you must remember, these are adult bands. They are mature, and they're not singing about first crushes like Taylor Swift or Miley Cyrus, or whoever the bloody hell sings about that sort of thing. They've been in cities full of evil, I'm sure they've seen their share of it. |

| Depeche Mode – Enjoy The Silence Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Feel free to tell me to get lost or any other negative comment, but I'm going to take a stab at this in a different direction. The very first time I heard this song, was on the radio last summer, and I couldn't help but get this picture of a figure standing over a lost loved one (dead) holding them in their arms, and screaming in pain and agony into the rain. Now, I wasn't in any particularly bad mood or anything, and you can ask anyone I know. My first comment on the song was, "That's gotta be the most depressing song I've heard" so, I'm taking a simple guess that maybe it's about someone who simply recently died. "Words like violence break the silence they come crashing in into my little world" usually when you lose someone you love, you go into a state of shock, where your mind shuts out all reality, and you're in your own world. When you speak, it echos through your mind, and can bring you back to reality. "All I ever needed, all i ever wanted is here in my arms" notice the past tense, need"ed", want"ed", indicating that this was it, and it's in his arms. Were it about something something present, "all i ever need, all i ever want, is here in my arms" this indicates something happened to whatever he's holding onto. "Words are very unnecessary they can only do harm." When you lose someone you absolutely love, do you not become overly aggressive at even the simplest of words? Like it's a disgrace or something, you just become furious. You're not even sure why. Just my two cents, what do you think? | |
