| Ingrid Michaelson – I'm Through Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I'm living this at the moment. It's been two months since the first guy I really fell for broke things off. I recently went on a date for the first time, and this song fits perfectly how I felt that evening. This is such a beautiful song. | |
| Sara Bareilles – Not Alone Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| This song screams to me. It's almost been a year since I was diagnosed positive for HIV. All this last year I've done everything in God's name to avoid the reality of it. I've gone to the doctor's enough to know that I'm healthy, but thinking of going makes my chest sink everytime. I've been in an on-and-off relationship with a guy who's positive as well, and he's definitely been a crutch for me. I can't imagine how I would handle things without him being there. In the case of the song, he's been my sky. This may be a stretch for some, but this song spoke to me when I heard it and it's been a release for me when I'm feeling alone. | |

This song plays out what I've been dealing with for a while. To me, it's about juggling the thought of opening up to someone you like and want to see more with and closing yourself off for fear of heartbreak. But it's ironic because the heartbreak comes from barring yourself away from emotionally opening up. "I never loved nobody fully always one foot on the ground and by protecting my heart truly I got lost in the sounds I hear in my mind all these voices I hear in my mind all these words I hear in mind all this music and it breaks my heart..." I've never fully allowed myself to open up intimately. I've dispelled enough to be satisfied, but there's never been that full feeling of letting go and being totally vulnerable. To me, the voices are all the times someone has complimented me and tried to reach me intimately, but I knew that their attempts had no phase on the wall blocking them out (hence the heartbreak). "suppose I never ever met you suppose we never fell in love suppose I never ever let you kiss me so sweet and so soft suppose I never ever saw you suppose you never ever called suppose I kept on singing love songs just to break my own fall" This part is about juggling your options, mostly about completely shutting this person out intimately. What if we never met? Would I be better off? I can think of so many times where I've thought about this. And to me, the last part is about justifying how maybe things would be better. "all my friends say that of course it's gonna get better... " I think this is just reflection on what friends may have said in moments of past romantic fall-outs. This is just my two cents on this, not that it's anything new I don't think. (: I just felt the need to post. I'm still waiting for my colorful ending like in the music video.. |
