Vanessa Carlton – This Time Lyrics 15 years ago
Erm. Well, yes I think it is about love. But because of my life, I could use my example for what it -could- be about on a deeper level, and what it means to me personally.

She loves him and wants to be with him, but he pushes her away. The only way she can have him as part of her life is as just a friend, but she is so wrapped up in the idea of them being more then that, of them being romantically involved, that it's a stressor. A regular crush song doesn't have such a solemn tone.

Your words circle in my head
Weigh so heavy on my chest
And I'm crushed by your expectation
I only want to do some good
Too dumb to know if I could
And I just wanna feel the days I'm in

Those lines really hit it. The things he tells her make her feel helpless.. and the chorus, about 'everybody burns, when it starts to hurt, I cry" is about the pain of the dilemma of loving someone and feeling like you can't do anything.

Well, that's just what it is for me. :)

Vanessa Carlton – Dark Carnival Lyrics 15 years ago
This song is pretty dark, and deep. Can't really say better words then the lyrics themself for what it means. But if kind of scares me.

Vanessa Carlton – Rinse Lyrics 15 years ago
In my opinion, this is asong about realizing that a boy will never truly fufill a womans heart, and that she needs to have God as a part of her life too. Reguardless of what religion, I think it's safe to say having religion in one's life, and making it part of one's relationship can make it more fufilling. Also, if you give it all up, and give your all to guy, forgetting about God, and then you lose the boy, what do you have to fall back on? If that makes any sense. Thats at least my personal meaning for this.

Matchbox Twenty – Push Lyrics 15 years ago
I think the song cleaarly relates to emotional abuse from a girl to a guy, This really hits the nail on the head:

well, don't just stand there
say nice things to me,
'cause I've been cheated, I've been wronged.
and you, you don't know me
I can't change - I won't do anything at all.

In reference to her complaining that he doesn't care when he really does, and he can't do any better then he has, and the fact that it's not enough makes it a painful relationship for the both of them. Listen to it with my interpretation in mind and I think it makes perfect sense. :) MB20 forever!!
