| Marianas Trench – Alibis Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
When I listen to this song, I imagine being in recovery {or trying to be}. Much like "Lover Dearest" was based off an assignment in rehab, I believe this as well is from a point of view of trying to explains things to your loved ones or even to your group therapy. "From the scrapes and bruises to the familiar abuses I'll kick and scream But it never changes anything" - This stanza, to me, is about not wanting to be in recovery. In this instance, I do feel like it is about bulimia. "I'll kick and scream but it never changes anything" - wanting to be in recovery but at the same time, not wanting to be in recovery. He can battle with himself about wanting to get better,, yet, at the end of the day - the voice inside of his head tells him he needs his addiction. "I could spill my guts out Wearing my best little girl pout I almost missed it But nobody said this was gonna be easy" He can try to explain to his loved ones how he feels about it. He wants to get better, the little girl pout - a form of manipulation. He is lying to them about how far along in his recovery he actually is. He almost "missed" his chance, or he almost missed his addiction, but he realizes that it's a very strong battle. "This is not the man I hoped to be and I'm just trying to stop the bleeding I don't know how to word it I just started to deserve it and all my faces are alibis, and me I'm half the man I wanted to be" He's telling his loved ones - that he is no proud of who he is. He is just trying to cope with life. He can't explain what goes on inside of his head. He feels he started "to deserve it" the abuse, the pain from the addiction - and those futile happy moments, they're alibis to him - not real. However, he has a honest note when he confesses he is not happy where he is. "Most times it comes out wrong I don't know the words but I'll hum along There's nothing familiar here anymore to anyone or anything enough to feel alive" To me, this is about the recovery process. The way he feels comes out wrong. His family starts to blames themselves for his addiction, and he allows it. He tries to explain how he feels but can't. He just sings a familiar tune of "yes I am fine," and tries to hide it. "Enough to feel alive" about being numb. He's in recovery, surrounded by addicts or eating disorder patients as well, and they all feel dead inside. "And I still taste that sickness and it makes me crazy without it at best" He wants to relapse terribly. He wants to be able to taste the vomit, or the drug. He wants to feel the rush of the coping. "But I'm in the same place i used to be but i'm trying harder not to be" - Another honest confession. He is still struggling. He wants out, but he is failing. Yet, he tries harder with every relapse. He is still going through this, but he is trying harder to overcome his battle. "So what am I" He lost himself, his touch of reality. And all my, All my faces are alibis This is not the man I hoped to be and I'm just trying to stop the bleeding "I don't know how the words go I just started not to say no" He can't explain how he ended up in this position. He felt like he deserved the recovery. He started not to say no the voice inside of his head, or he started not to say no to recovery. "Don't want it, don't get it I know you won't regret it" That isn't his voice - it's his family telling them his words don't make sense. They don't understand how someone can hurt themselves intentionally. "Don't surface, don't surface, And I feel so damn worthless" he's trying to reply to them, by talking to the voice inside of his head. He doesn't want them to know how worthless he feels. He doesn't want them to see that. "Another day is gone and all my faces are alibis, and me, I'm half the man I wanted to be. " His battle won, he lost. Same thing different day. He's nothing but a alibis - a ghost of his former self. |

Story of my life once upon a time. A relationship between two people is ending but they don't want to face it; they just want to "pretend to sleep," instead of talking about it. "Sometimes the one you want is not the one you need," |

| Marianas Trench – Truth Or Dare Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
"Now follow me down to it, just follow me down to it Nobody will know how you come, and you go for it Not gonna get dangerous, you don't got to worry about us Somebody to give what you get and you'll get what you need now And these lights get bright so let me show you It would be so nice to know you" I think is about doing things you normally wouldn't. The singer is enticing someone to do something new. I am not sure if this is about showing drugs for the first time, or having multiple partners....LoL. Okay my interpreation is getting very bizarre. I'm sorry. "Somebody to give what you get and you'll get what you need now" this shows a get yours/get mine reference... The lights refer to being hesitant about the lights on, but out of curiousty, they keep the lights on anyway. "So nice to know ya," ________ "It's as easy as One two three do you see what I do Truth or dare now yes I double dare you You, you, me, now I think you got it One last breath, and just spin the bottle now You know you don't need to be so worried Even though, below I'm still thinking about it One two three and I double dare me as well Truth, Dare This will be our dirty little secret" I honestly think this is about dancing with a group of people. It could be about sexual references too. "One two three" like the singer and two others and then "you, you, me" continues to push that point. This is about getting someone to go along with it for the first time. The truth is that he wants them to give into it, but he is making it seem like he is going to be okay with no matter what they choose. "even though below" (a.k.a. his body) still wants it. OR It'll be their dirty little secret because it's so taboo in society.... _______ "Give in to the slow descent Give in to the trust to feel it Give in to the pull and the push and the forth and back We're not going to slow you down, we're not gonna hold you to it I guess it depends in the end, after all we're all friends here...here... And these lights get bright, So let me show ya So, so, so nice to know ya" I think this means giving into the pleasures of life. The singer is saying to release your inhibitions and stop thinking so much - and you will get more comfortable as it goes on. "The pull, the push." The "not gonna hold you to it," means no judging because they're all friends and share a bond by doing this thing together. ______ It's as easy as One two three do you see what I do Truth or dare now yes I double dare you You, you, me, now I think you got it One last breath, and just spin the bottle now You know you don't need to be so worried Even though, below I'm still thinking about it One two three and I double dare me as well Truth, Dare This will be our dirty little secret This will be our little ^Already explained^ One two three do you see what I do Truth or dare now yes I double dare you You, you, me, now I think you got it One last breath, and just spin the bottle now You know you don't need to be so worried Even though, below I'm still thinking about it One two three and I double dare me as well Truth, Dare ______ I am not sure if I explained this song of Britney Spears "3," Haha. Just kidding. I am not sure if this is right but this is just what I get from it. I don't know why? |

| Marianas Trench – Feeling Small Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
"This one's of you taking your pill Sometimes forget and that's okay I guess This one's of me at my sisters wedding day" This verse is about Josh looking at pictures of himself and reflecting. The sick self is showing him bad traits - such as forgetting to take his pills but the good self is showing happy memories like his sisters wedding day. Yet, he didn't think it was too happy because when he looks at it, all he can see is his weight. ___________________________________- "All my faces They all were wasted" This part is about how he is showing the pictures to himself. When he says 'all my faces' he meant that all of his pictures were about him wanting to feel small. He may have faked a smiled, or just looked sick in the pictures so he wasted the memories in the pictures because of his disease. ___________________________________ "You're barely breathing I know What if it's starting to show? And I know it won't ever change but it hurts the same" This is about the past Josh telling the present self that he needs to get better because he is dying inside. Yet, the present Josh is resisting the advice and can't get better...the disease is too powerful. ______________________________________________ "This one's of me throwing up for you And I'm paler still, and that's the way you wanted it This one's of you, certain of cancer" Sometimes in the eating disorder community, people refer to bulimia as a womans name of MIA. I think this is Josh talking to her, or even himself. He threw up because Mia wouldn't allow the thoughts to cease. She told him the more he threw up, the thinner he would be. As a consequence, he became pale because he was losing his nutrition and becoming sicker. I think the cancer part refers to one of two things: either Josh began to lose his voice due to the acid and he thought he developed throat cancer -or- since there is no cure for cancer, he thoguht he had a death sentence and an incurable disease. ___________________________________- "And all my faces They all were wasted on feeling small You're barely breathing, I know And now it's starting to show And I know it won't ever change, but it hurts the same" This refers to the photos again. In all of the pictures he looks at, all he can see is himself. He criticizes himself on his weight instead of enjoying the memory. He is afraid that others will notice too, and he can't concentrate. He's barley breathing and about to die - maybe not even literally but emotionally. ___________________________________- "A fever broke somewhere behind July And remember how I weighed 135 And we collide" A fever breaking is when someone begins to get better. At his lowest, he realized that if he didn't get better, he was going to die. The bulimic self and his sane self began to collide into one person and he was able to fight to save himself. ___________________________________- "All my faces They all were wasted on feeling small You're barely breathing, I know And now it's starting to show And I know it won't ever change, but it hurts the same" He realized that everyone else can notice and he's trying to get help now. ___________________________________- "This one's of me, losing more weight And feeling afraid" Maybe he went into remission for a while but it came back with vengeance. He is afraid he is going to die. ___________________________________- I'm sorry if my interpretation doesn't make any sense but every-time I listen to this song, this is the picture that is painted to me.... |

| Marianas Trench – So Soon Lyrics | 14 years ago |

To me - this song is about a guy who really is in love with a girl but he can't give her everything she needs. He understands that and wants her to be happy....but something inside him wants her to be with him because the thought of her being with someone else...crushes his soul. He is asking her if she would just be lonely instead of finding someone who can make her complete. He knows it is wrong too because he says "I know it seems beneath me/ But sometimes it's not so easy/ To wish you well and let you go." To me it is haunting and beautiful. A tragic side of love. |

I believe this song is about two opposing sides who aren't getting along. However, they have no idea why. The wife/girl-friend doesn't understand but at the end, she gets her promise. This song is amazing. God can save lives! |

| Evanescence – The Last Song I'm Wasting on You Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I believe this song is about a relationship in which she tried so hard to forgive and workout, even though it was literally killing her inside. She, however, was able to overcome it and wake up and realize the "senseless" hate behind it and now doesn't think she's the one always in the wrong. I am not sure but I think this song inspired Ben Moody to write the article about why he left the band. I love Evanescence but I love him too and it is better for them to be apart. |

| Hanson – Broken Angel Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I think this song is about someone not knowing their own self worth and struggling with something (weather it be depression, an eating disorder, drug abuse, handicap etc) but not being able to realize it yet. Nobody believes in them except the friend watching from the distance....however the angel doesn't have the patience to wait. They try to fix it on themselves and maybe take things too far, and suicide happens. I also see the song about believing in yourself when others don't. I don't know. It's beautiful and I love the different point-of-views and the voice. AH! It makes me cry. |

I believe this song is so beautiful and about when life is just so content and carefree...like when you're a child. It's so pure and honest. "It's so beautiful, it makes you want to cry." |

| Ashley Parker Angel – Shades of Blue Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Teenage suicide is defiantly the message in this song. I think it's about understanding that you are not alone whenever you're feeling depressed. The chorus to me indicates this by: "With arms wide open The sky is always A thousand shades of blue Partly broken lost and lonley We're all just shades of you" I believe that part is talking directly to the male in the song. "We're all just shades of you," is the message that though the boy is depressed and feels like he's the only one who feels this way, Angel is telling him that everyone gets down sometimes and it's normal. Suicide doesn't have to be the answer. "He let the water run too deep Then he just slowly slipped on in And when he finds the nerve to breathe All they say is no one saw it coming Hear the sirens The cops arriving A thousand shades of blue But it's hopeless no one noticed We're all just shades of you With arms wide open They found him floating A thousand shades of blue There's no escaping where he's going We're all just shades of you" I don't believe this part is about literally drowning. I think it's about drowning in his sorrows. "He let the water run too deep," as in he allowed his depression to take over his life and mind. Then - "When he found the nerve to breathe," indicated he finally release all of his pain and killed himself. "All they say is nobody saw it coming," meaning even though his dad was in his chair, mom was in the kitchen, and nobody saw him raise his hand to be king, - those people were so close to him but never noticed his sadness. "They found him floating, a thousand shades of blue." - Whenever you die, your body becomes blue. I think that's what its about. It also made the world sad (and blue) so now everyone is "Shades of you," referring to the male. Maybe my interruption is out there but that is what I get from the beautiful song. |
