| The Knife – Is It Medicine Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
To me it's about social phobia/ anxiety. "don't know how, don't know what to say is it medicine or social skill?" - That's is exactly how it was for me, I was dosed up and hated it, it was easier to interact, but I couldn't tell if it was me. "being sane is a full time work" - I would try hard but I would give up and lock myself in . "another day has come to an end then you start to cry again" - and every time I went out I was tired and scared, of what the people thought, all these things would go through my head, and I would feel like never being around anyone again. But, hey, it's just my opinion. |

| K's Choice – Everything For Free Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Sounds like someone in mental hospital/ rehab. Well it sounds like my experience with a mental hospital, though I didn't like it even though everything was free (it's was horrid). "I'm not troubled or sad I'm just ready for bed It's been a long day Before they switch off the lights It truly was a delight - (this line is really not what I thought) They think I'm crazy" The people were the same.. they always had questions "Have you been here before Shall I show you around It's very pretty Have you come here to stay" But some people I was in with acted as though it was there own private party, they seemed to like everything, and the fact it was free. (They really thought we were crazy, all the nurses, doctors and visitors) |

This is the story of my suicide attempt, scarily well done! Makes me shiver, like they were there when it happened. Must be my favourite Knife song. |

| Kate Miller-Heidke – Monster Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
To me it's about my eating disorder/ recovery from it. "You chew it up and spit it out" - I used to do this to my food. The "monster" being the past that caused the ED and the voicing being the actual thing, "'Cause you thought that the voices were dead, that the monster had left with your old single bed" - Everything was better now you had someone to go through it with you, but in my experience, I try to be better for them, perfect, which means weight included. "Now I think he was your friend once you needed him I guess needed his protection but now he is your hindrance" - I thought it was a simple diet, then everything got out of hand. "he is the one who stops you from saying how you feel And cover up what's real" - He really does "And now it's so far so good So why do I feel no different?" - When losing the weight you think you'll feel better about yourself, but you never do, you always to big, ugly "It's always one step forward and two steps back" - You gain weight and fell like you're getting better then it all comes back with one simple thought and you go backwards. And for the voices they do scream in your head, screaming all the bad thoughts, lies and to be perfect. But that's just what it means to me. |
