| Nightwish – Amaranth Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
Hey, you must be right! I looked back at the lyrics wondering if it could be about Tuomas and guess what, the first two lines give it away: Baptized with a perfect name The doubting one by heart Tuomas was given the name of St. Thomas, the apostle who questioned Jesus's resurrection, and this name turned out to be a perfect fit for his questioning mind. Not sure what "by heart" or the following line stand for but that shouldn't change this basic meaning. You don't need to explain the video. The video is based on a famous Finnish painting, and while it may be related to the song in some way it was definitely not scripted to illustrate the lyrics. Thank you for offering your intepretation. I was very annoyed by what I read in the top comments, but now I can let myself love this song again. |

| Jakob Dylan – Standing Eight Count Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| love this song, but stuck on a couple of lines, the one beginning with "comrade" (maybe from an old movie?) and especially the second line, so hard to make sense of "to stow a runaway..." help please | |
| Nirvana – Dumb Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| ...could you please explain the part about skinning the sun? (the third verse is actually the bridge) | |
| Eddie Vedder – Guaranteed Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
"I knew all the rules but the rules did not know me..." hm... I thought this was more about how he felt towards society in general (or maybe his family) than about surviving in the wild... |

| The Wallflowers – Some Flowers Bloom Dead Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| back to the song, I really like the line "making room for new regrets," which reminds me of how difficult it is not to make the same mistakes again and again... I prefer the acoustic version, though (the one played live for Radio Alice) | |
| The Wallflowers – Some Flowers Bloom Dead Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| yep, I've been playing it in the last few days and was a bit surprised about how many good songs are in there... "Witness" is also great, with the horns that reminds me of those on Women+Country, or I should say the other way around :) | |
| The Decemberists – January Hymn Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| for some reason, this scene reminds me of another Dylan's song, "I couldn't see what you could show me/Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid... I couldn't see when it started snowing/Your voice was all that I heard/I couldn't see where we were going" | |

| thanks, maybe she is looking away from him, her mind already set to where she's going to, and her breath seems to be leading the way... | |
| Foo Fighters – Dear Rosemary Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
hm... true but Rosemary doesn't particularly rhyme with the rest of the song, and is not so common a name... so it can be THAT Rosemary, but even so it doesn't mean that every line is about her. Songs can be like dreams where someone you know well sometimes has a different name, for some reason... "young hearts get shattered" may also refer to the fans "Youth ain't gonna change the way you die" can only be for someone who died too young and the rest of the lines quoted by mikevox call to mind someone else, just like: "living in the shadow" and "Where do you go when no one's following you?" yep, great song, my favorite with I Should Have Known |

| The Decemberists – January Hymn Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I love this song but can't make sense of the lines "When I could see her breath lead/Where she were going to," could someone please explain to me what they mean? (literally, at least) | |
