| Katie Melua – Just Like Heaven Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I think this song is about the singer's uncontrollable fear of becoming attached to someone she has feelings for. The subject first asks her why she isn't in love, and then realizes that she's lost and lonely due to her inability to let herself love. She only dreams of the ways she can express her love, but can't overcome her fears of abandonment deep down and truly show him. She wakes up and realizes that because of her fears and turbulent feelings, the one she feared so much of loosing is gone, in a self-fulfilling prophecy. | |
| The Cardigans – Good Morning Joan Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I think this song is about a woman who has reactive attachment disorder and fears keeping close friends, so she pushes everyone that gets close to her away. This is why her phonebook is empty. I met someone who never lets anyone get close to her, because then they can't leave and hurt her. She had a very difficult childhood with her dad abandoning her family when she was 5. Eventually she pushed me away when we got too close. She has learned to forget her feelings for others on a dime as a defense mechanism so that they can't leave her first like so many people have in the past. If you are in a situation that touches on reactive attachment disorder, a good movie to help you understand what might be going on is Good Will Hunting. Another good song from The Cardigans that touches on this topic is "Don't Blame Your Daughter" which talks about the situation between a fatherless daughter and the father that abandoned her. Many people with reactive attachment disorder grew up fatherless, neglected, or in between foster homes. |
