| Mystery Skulls – Ghost Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
While the animated music video presented this song from the point of a literal ghost trying to reach out one more time to his murderer and lover, the lyrics of this song could be from someone on the brink of suicide. 'Cause the world might do me in It's all right cause I'm with friends Cause I'm giving up again It doesn't matter The singer presents how the world is a harsh place; it can easily kill him and the hardships within it push him to give up. He has taken an attitude of apathy where nothing matters but a fun time with friends. And I'm feeling like a ghost And it's what I hate the most 'Cause I'm giving up again The singer then continues on about how he feels like a ghost, which he really hates but has given up fighting against. The ghost could represent a number of things, but the it's largely depression. Feeling like a ghost is feeling alone and empty, without a future. The singer basically feels like he's already dead inside even if he's still alive, and he's accepted that this feeling isn't going to go away so he gives up on trying to be happy. This time I might just disappear Due to giving up, this time the singer "might just disappear". Considering that he's been depressed (felt like a ghost before) and that he's saying "this time", one can assume that he has attempted suicide before, and is going to try again. Try and hear me then I'm done 'Cause I might just say this once Seen this played out in my dream It doesn't matter Although he's given up and is now apathetic towards his own demise, the singer is still desperately trying to either reach out for help, or to get revenge against those that drove him to his state of mind. He needs to say something before his death, like a suicide note. It's the last thing he wants to accomplish while alive, so much that he dreams about how he'll do it. This time, when he says "it doesn't matter", the singer means it doesn't actually matter whether or not anyone listens to him because he just needs to get his thoughts off his chest. Time for givin' up the ghost Fuck, it's you I hate the most And there is no guarantee It doesn't matter Giving up the ghost refers to him carrying out another suicide attempt to escape depression. Before doing so however, the singer does what he's always dreamed of; he's finally letting out his hatred for whatever has driven him to this point. He then commits suicide but notes that his death isn't guaranteed, as he had failed previously. |

| Nirvana – Heart-Shaped Box Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I actually thought the song was about something entirely different from Courtney and the cancer child theory. A general interpretation I had was how love is really just a disguised prison that forces us to make bad decisions at times. "I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks" Love is represented as the heart-shaped box, but what's disturbing is that its not truly a heart. Its only a box which looks like a heart but whose true purpose isn't to feel (emotions) but to imprison. So perhaps there's truly no in the relationship he's singing about and he's beginning to realize that. The meat eating orchids could be showing how appealing something is, yet it uses its beauty in order to lure prey (like drugs) The magnet tar pit trap is showing how inevitable it would be for him to fall for this fake love, the heart shaped box. The magnet is drawing him into the tar pit, the tar keeps him from escaping, and the pit is used to show how dark it is where he's been trapped. I'm wondering if angel's hair and baby's breath are allusions to drugs because I do recall hearing about some sort of drug that had angel in its name. If so, I'm thinking about how perhaps this is what caused him to realize that the love wasn't real. The person that tells him that she loves him is also telling him to take these drugs, which seem so wonderful with such appealing names, but he knows how much they harm him once he "cuts" himself using them. Maybe at this point he thinks along the lines of "if she loved me, why would she want me to harm myself?" I'm not really sure about the hymen and the umbilical cord. My theory is that he hates how everything is so impure/tainted (broken hymen-loss of innocence) and perhaps wants to "climb back" to innocence, before he met fake love, drugs, and corruption. The priceless advice is sort of using sarcasm, or veiled anger. This guy is angry at all the horrors he's had to face because of his metaphorical imprisonment by the heart shaped box. He's angry at the pressure that was put on him to do things that should never have been done, to harm himself. He's also angry that he accepted that sort of advice. His new complaint is that he is forever in debt to this priceless advice, in other words, he's fucking pissed that he's been damaged, further corrupted, whatever it was that this shitty "advice" pressured him to do that left him with bad memories. |

| A Fine Frenzy – Almost Lover Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Another meaning for this song, other than being played and led on by someone who you love but doesn't return you love is perhaps death. Maybe a person she loved died before they could establish a relationship, thus why the other party easily walked in and out of her life, as well as haunts her. Even worse, it may have been suicide because its mentioned the other person seemed to be a bit blue (The sweetest sadness in your eyes, i never want to see you unhappy) but the singer thinks that maybe they can work it out together simply because she doesn't want the other party to hurt themselves because if they do, then it also hurts their loved one and nobody would want to hurt their loved ones but the singer miscalculated how much she meant to the dead guy and realizes he valued his peace (death) more than her happiness (I THOUGHT you'd want the same for me. note that thought is past tense). To be honest, the original interpretation is probably most accurate, but I'm just throwing another way to look at it. |

| Kelly Clarkson – Because of You Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| This song reminds me of my family and makes me think of how strong my mom was. My dad and mom had a really rocky relationship, and used to fight all the time. He never physically abused my mom, but always made it look like he would by throwing things all the time when they were fighting. I felt that my parents hated each other, and used to always be scared that they would divorce, but my mom was really strong because she tried so hard to never cry in front of us, or used anyone for emotional support, and put up with everybody's crap (mean grandma, mentally abusive dad) to keep the family from falling apart. | |
| Adele – Chasing Pavements Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Its one of those easier said than done. Don't try to say that you could say "I like/love you" easily because if you try to actually say it to someone that you truly love, you would know how scary it is; what if they reject you? What if they don't like you anymore? What if you won't be able to move on even after they reject you? What if they stop talking to you? And many other doubts. Not that I've ever really felt like this, but you should try to put yourself in her moccasins :] | |
| Jack's Mannequin – Rescued Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I feel like this song is about a girl that keeps on going on and off with him. He feels hurt each time she stops with him, but this time, its been so long that he doesn't feel anything anymore, he's had enough, doesn't care anymore, and doesn't want to care again because he feels like he's just going to get hurt again. He doesn't want her to rescue him from his numbness, because he prefers this numbness over the pain, and eventually, he gets better without her You and I undone- they broke up For the last time- its happened before but they're never going to get back together so its the last time I wish that I could stay- he wants to get back together, but he doesn't want to feel the pain of breaking up again And I'm finally numb- he finally doesn't feel the pain Roads that lead away from this- he's looking for something other than their crappy relationship I'm following myself Just this once- For once, instead of always bowing the girl and their relationship, he's going to stand up for what he wants and needs, and do what he wants to And oh say you'll miss me One last time And I'll be strong- he wants to be sure that even if she tries to tempt him into a relationship with her again, he will be strong and make sure she knows that its over for the last time. 'Cause I'm feeling like I might need to be near you And I feel alright So please don't get me rescued- even though he still misses her, its not so bad anymore, he's all right this time so even though he might miss her, he doesn't want to get back with her again because he doesn't want to get hurt again |

| Augustana – Boston Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I believe this song is about starting over: "In the light of the sun, is there anyone?"-nobody is light, everybody has a weight to carry around, all of us have our mistakes "Oh dear you look so lost, you eyes are red and tears are shed,"-we make so many mistakes that we become lost or our mistakes sadden us, causing us to want to start over "Essential yet appealed, carry all your thoughts across an open field"- we want to let go of these weights, maybe by freeing our memories of them and not constantly being reminded of them by carrying them across an open field. "You don't know me, you don't even care... You don't know me, and you don't wear my chains."- the chains would be what keeps us from starting over. chains keeping us from a fresh start would be someone close to us, knows us, and cares about us. Aka: they give a crap if we leave and forget them "I think I'm just tired"-tired from carrying the weight of mistakes "I think I need a new town, to leave this all behind..."-they want to go somewhere else where they won't constantly be reminded of their mistake or whatever they want to leave behind "I think I need a sunrise, I'm tired of the sunset,"-sybolism; sunrise=brightness, new starts sunset=darkness, ending. They want a bright fresh start because they're tired or dark endings, maybe person was in a bad relationship? =/ why Boston? because Boston is such a big city that a small person like yourself wouldn't be known there. It's somewhere where "no one knows my name". someplace where everyone is busy and minds their own business, instead of taking the time to know your name and your mistakes |

| OneRepublic – Secrets Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I think this song is about how some person is bored of their life and want to be able to talk about something to make their life more interesting, or how they want more attention and so they do things that could endanger them, staining their sleeves red, so they keep saying the "perfect lines" and come up with great stories by making them true so that others will listen, anything that others would like to hear. However, this person gets sick of all the acting, all the insincerities, all the secrets because he feels like the lies are eating away who he is and he's losing himself so he wants to tell the truth because its so hard to keep up with his own lies. This person seems like a huge whiner who wants some kind of assurance to who he is, that he's not "everyone" so he ends up being insincerely, overly truthful in order to assure himself that he's not everyone else but eventually loses himself. | |
| Muse – Apocalypse Please Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Switzerland has won the reward for being the best country or something like that. Switzerland is a very peaceful place. Switzerland is 70% atheist so people's beliefs don't clash all the time. Hmmmm, no wonder why its so peaceful. Its interesting to see how many people die because other people disrespect/don't give a crap/dislike their beliefs. ~genocide~ | |

girls have the right to try to make themselves look pretty, and people out there, girls dont make themselves look pretty to be called a slut and get popular, its done for self-satisfaction. so if blonde hair and jessica simpson clothes is what she feels is pretty well then, keep ur judgements to urself =O (really? I bet even guys *and tomboy girls* out there sometimes look in mirrors out of vanity -.-)besides, what do you have against models??? Also, you should know that catchy songs like this one, that are filled with shit, are often very popular (as long as they arent overplayed) besides, what are meaningful lyrics? something like http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/a/aqua_timez/sen_no_yoru_wo_koete_english.html ? get real, even though alot of people like songs like these, for some reason, they're not as popular as the catchy ones...why? prolly because catchy ones stick and dont make you think, also lets people try out singing on their own since the catchy songs are so easy to remember |

| I don't think emo ppl are all like that. In fact, alot of normal ppl cut their wrists 2 O-o y? prolly cuz their curious. Anyways, I think emo ppl are more like they can't rly feel real. Black eyeliner and goth clothes are just stereotypes for emos | |

sometimes... one just feels like he don't belong in this world. its the gut feeling that something just isn't right. no.. its not the communication with others... neither is it getting along with life. its just the feeling that theres something missing... or just feeling oddball. Omg that is exactly how I feel, even when I'm talking to friends, texting, doing homework, sitting in class, I just don't feel like I belong, like I'm a little bit out of the group, and that everything is so fake. It makes me sick because sometimes, instead of seeing faces, I start seeing masks, like everyones pretending to be who they are |

| Gary Jules – Mad World (Tears for Fears cover) Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I think that this song is about suicide. In the first verse paragraph thingy, it talks about ppl waking up early for their daily races and their sorrows and tears and no tomorrow. To me this means that people do the same thing everyday until finally, they break down or a small change puts them into sorrow. Then in the second part it says his best dreams are of dying and how its hard to tell someone and he can't rly take it. Then in the third part, I think of kids wanting to being nervous and scared of not being accepted or knowing that nobody will acknowledge them, that everyone looks right through them as if they weren't there. The mad world part makes me think of everyone striving to do the same thing over and over yet not being satisfied and they still do it again anyways which seems quite crazy to me. And then they think if everyone enlargens their little world in their mind, be more accepting, that maybe the world won't be so mad anymore. Oh well this is just from a suicidal kid's point of view lol I'm sure that theres better meanings | |
