| The Avett Brothers – I and Love and You Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I think it's about leaving the life you knew behind, and making a new start. You've been trying to start a new life, but you're still stuck in the same place with the same people--"One foot in and one foot back." And you know that if you don't completely do something drastic, that will never change, so you leave. But taking that huge leap is scary, so you can only hope that new place will "take you in." You also left to get away from the problems in your life, no matter what they may be. "My hands, they shake, my head, it spins," thinking about your past problems and wondering if you can overcome them in a new place. "When at first I learned to speak. I used all my words to fight," could mean fighting with parents and siblings, or whomever, for as long as you can remember. This was something you needed to get away from, because it never has gotten you anywhere. On the road you meet some girl you party with, but she doesn't keep you from your goal. And it's hard to say, I love you, to those people in your past that put you down and you always fought with. They liked reminding you what they were doing at your age, why you were seemingly just a bum or whatever. By going to Brooklyn you're showing them you're motivated and have goals too. But in the end maybe you are just a wayward bum, and you don't really know what you're doing with your life. Hence, why you keep travelling, trying to find somewhere you can call you new home. |

| Rogue Wave – California Lyrics | 15 years ago |

I think it's about a guy from California that is sick of the fakeness around him, but it is still his home. But I like to think it's about someone that had plans to move to California from a cold place like Minnesota, because his friends and family don't really give a crap about him and how he feels. But he's poor or he has moments where he really likes where he is, so he has to say "Screw California." I just like to think that, because that's how I was feeling for a time. |

| Thriving Ivory – Secret Life Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I heard this song right after hearing my friend's dad committed suicide. I knew him really well when I was younger, but then I went to college and didn't see him as much. I knew his life went way downhill in those years, but I didn't know how much since my friend never acted like what was going on with him was really that bad. So it makes me think of her and him. Especially, "Hands are cold as ice," because she found him and kept repeating how cold he was. Also makes me think about my relationship with both of them, and others. I don't like drama so I like being in my own company with just the TV. When I am with others, I'm always making jokes, and never show much feeling when I'm around others. |
