| Kelly Rowland – Stole Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
The song and the music video are really different. In the video the Geek kills himself, Mary gets pregnant, and Greg gets shot. But in the song it's clear that the Geek shot Greg and Mary. The Geek obviously doesn't kill himself in the song because A. It never mentions that the Geek's life was "stole", only Greg and Mary's lives. B. The lyrics say: "He's not invisible anymore With his Father's 9 and a broken fuse Since he walked through that classroom door He's all over primetime news" how could he walk through the classroom door if he'd killed himself? He walked though the door to shoot his classmates. Also I've never seen a suicide on the news. I don't know about anywhere else but in Australia they aren't actually allowed to report on suicides, only murders. I'm pretty sure this song is about the Geek being tired of being bullied and invisible ("smart don't make you cool" and "good don't get attention") So he brings his Father's 9 to school. I think the "broken fuse" is in his mind and Kelly means that he's kind of become unhinged enough to want to shoot students. So he does, and suddenly he has all the attention, no longer invisible. He's all over the news and everyone's being interviewed about him. He went to jail "with his baggy pants and his legs in chains" Mary was destined to be a star, she had the same sized hands as Marilyn Monroe and could have been famous, but that never happened because her life was "stole" when the Geek shot her. Same with Greg, he could have been a huge sports star but that was "stole" when the Geek shot him. This is such a sad song, and the "think before you act" message really fits because the people who bullied the Geek didn't think about how it would affect him and how it would affect Greg and Mary. If people had respected him more none of it would have happened. Really makes you think. Anyway that's the interpretation of a 15 year old girl. :) |

| Les Misérables – I Dreamed A Dream Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
@Kunsan I'm only 14 years old, but this is how I perceive the line: "I had a dream my life would be So different from this hell I'm living So different now from what it seemed Now life has killed the dream I dreamed." When she sings "So different now from what it seemed" she means that when she was younger the thought world was a kind, happy place of dreams and she thought when she grew up her life would be perfect, but now that she's older the world is a much darker, sadder place than she thought, and her life is very different to what it seemed to be when she was younger. She dreamed (or wished) that her life would be wonderful and happy when she was older, but as she grew up her life got harder. When she finishes with "Now life has killed the dream I dreamed." She means that things didn't work out how she'd wanted them to, and instead of living her dream, her real, sad life proved to her that she would never have her dream. I could be wrong, but that's what it means to me. Hope it kind of helped! It's such a sad song, and a tragic ending for poor Fantine. I absolutely love the musical. |
