Bishop Allen – Little Black Ache Lyrics 14 years ago
I think fursoftasfur has hit it on the nose, or at least for me. The little black ache that's always lurking in the back of your mind, in the back of your life. The little black ache that's always there to "comfort" you when you've lost everything else, and is more than happy to let you wallow in it.

Sick Puppies – All The Same Lyrics 14 years ago
I think this could possibly be a relationship (not necessarily romantic), between two people of whom one or both have Borderline Personality Disorder or Bipolar Disorder. There are many black-and-white elements in the lyrics.

I don't mind where you come from
As long as you come to me
But I don't like illusions
I can't see them clearly
I don't care, No I wouldn't dare
To fix the twist in you
You shown me eventually what you'll do.

-- I don't care about your past, or your current troubles, as long as you're with me. I just don't like games and pretences. I know you have a thorn in your side, and I know I can't help you remove it. And I know you'll eventually run away from me.

I don't mind, I don't care
As long as you're here
Go ahead tell me you'll leave again
You'll just come back running,
Holding your scarred Heart in Hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's all the same.

-- But I don't mind, because there will be times when we're together. And when you do run away, you'll come running right back to me. I know this is a part of you. I know to know you is to know this, and that's okay. Just keep coming back to me when you do run away.

Hours fly and days go by
'Till you decide to come
But in-between it always seems too long
For certain
But I have the skill
And I have the will
To breathe you in while I can
However long you stay
Is all that I am.

-- I hate waiting for you. A part of me worries that you might not come back. But I have to endure this to savour the good times with you. However long you'll stay here, I'll take it.

I don't mind, I don't care
As long as you're here
Go ahead tell me you'll leave again
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred Heart in Hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's always the same.

-- Chorus. Reiterates what has been previously said.

Wrong or Right
Black or white
If I close my eyes
It's all the same.

-- I think this is a reference to splitting. Love me, hate me. Stay with me, or run away from me. It's the same cycle. If I close my eyes - if I look beyond face value, it's all the same to me.

In my Life
The compromise
I'll close my eyes
It's all the same
Go ahead say it
You're leaving
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred Heart in Hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's all the same.

-- The first part acknowledges that knowing this person is a compromise. Allowing yourself to be hurt in order to continue being with them.


Maybe my own experinces have tarnished my perception of this song, but it seems to fit like a glass slipper to me.
