| Breaking Benjamin – Psycho Lyrics | 7 years ago |
| I feel the song is about the speaker accepting terms with themselves and giving in to their flaws and dark side. The speaker is letting the light inside them die and is allowing themselves to be consumed by the dark. “I am the daylight choking” and “I am the ember fading” could be seen as the person saying that the are relinquishing their good qualities and accepting their flaws. The “Psycho” being referred to could be an external or inter personality that is holding on to the speaker’s good nature. “Psycho, let go” the speaker is telling this entity to give up hope on the speaker and to hold on to hope for the speaker is crazy or “Psycho “ | |
| Red – Falling Sky Lyrics | 8 years ago |
| The song is about a person who's attempts to keep a person safe or make a better world for them fails. The false world they build is being infiltrated by the "nightmares" and "poisons" that cause damage to the false world. The reality finally comes crashing down in a terrifying reality. *SPOILER* Reminds me of the anime Deathnote or Gilgamesh. In both animes there is a main character that has a major affect on the planets conditions. By the end, a revelation breaks their perception and their worlds come crashing down around them | |

| Song talks about blind devotion to someone/idea that the target doesn't believe in. The singer is more devoted than the person the singer is talking to. | |

| Chevelle – Twinge Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| Sounds like a song about two lovers who are simply laying together in each other's company. The speaker is essentially saying that he is and will remain laying with their lover until something external interrupts them, which could take all eternity "forever just lay here". | |
| Chevelle – Shameful Metaphors Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| The speaker is aware that the life he lives is a sham. The speaker sees that the morals and metaphors he lives by are the results of worse actions. He speaks out "say out loud and say again" he speaks out but nothing happens. So he stays silent. And whom the speaker was with is also losing their sense of awareness to the shame of their existence. The song is tragic due to the speaker choosing to live the life. | |

Seems like the speaker is talking to sorts on who has deceived him before. The speaker is aware of his deceptive "nighttime confidence" and is self aware that deceiver is trying his old tactics "like when you tear us up to bits yet again." "If you're gonna light those fires, we're all up in arms again" the speaker is saying if the deceiver is going to try his old tricks, the speaker will fight back and resist. This is further evident when he says "felt your left foot now meet my right." "It's now or never" the speaker is saying he has to fight off the deceiver now or it will be too late. "Those midnight answers and stray arrows" refers to the excuses and wrong paths the deceiver sends the speaker on that keeps the speaker from realizing the truth until it's too late. The chorus talks about the speaker realizing that that he doesn't deserve to be manipulated by the deceiver and is fighting back. |

| Audioslave – The Last Remaining Light Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
This song to me is about a person who is speaking to his tormetor or whatever his source of anguish. The speaker is saying they he has been abused and seen the worst, yet he lives or depends on his tormentor, Yet his tormentor is now in a place where the outlook is not so good for him/her/it. The speaker says that if you think this is the end of the world, then your alone in those thoughts, because you yourself instilled in me that there will be a tomorrow, whether that tomorrow will be worse, or better we don't know, but if you want to be the fool that thinks that there is no hope, then you are by yourself. The verse "Heaven waits for those who run", reminds me of people who have to run to catch a bus, and when the bus driver sees them, stops and lets them get on. The same is being equated with heaven. If the tormentor seeks forgiveness, heaven, absolution, they have to make an effort and try. "Down your winter And underneathe your waves Where you watch And you wait And pray for the day He is saying hat the tormentor himself, in his coldes darkest parts of himself wants forgiveness for what he has done and is doing. But that can only come if he seeks it. |

My interpretation of the song is its about the judicial system, and how our "laws" don't stop criminal activity, only addresses them. The first verse would be addressing the speaker, who seems to be at an internal struggle with the current laws regarding, for the following example, a person sentenced to death for murder. The speaker is saying that they see the flaw in the system and is wondering if they should address it. Should they speak out for the sentenced and denounce capital punishment? If they do, and prove that the death penalty is wrong("fate") then we will be sickened and feel bad about all those that we put to death. The speaker admits that nothing really changes, we just add more and more laws but dont change the behavior or dysfuctions in society that cause such crimes. No matter who or how many people are killed, we don't make a change to the institutions that create "revolting men." The chorus is stating that throughout his life, the speaker never spoke out on the issue, and possibly could have saved some people's lives. "Eyes closing" is symbolizing the condemned's life drawing to a close. The speaker is saying that they should have spoken out earlier, louder on the situation and could have saved this "revolting man" from his nearing death sentence. The second chorus would address the condemned. "Revolting man" is ment to be satirical. The same way that we look at people sho are on the death penalty as being the worst of society without real consideration for who they are and where they grew up. "Sacred chains" would refer to the condfines we put the sentenced into. the bondages of the prison system and the obstruction of free movement throughout society. "No better man could fail they way" would refer again to the senteced being a purely disgusting and dehumanized being. The finest river the ravens tend could refer to either his victim and where they were found, or ther fact that death is coming for the condemned. We're long insisting we're worlds away could meant that society is in denial about either ourselves being victims to the next killer or that we are better than the killer even though we(society) are taking his life. BEhold the lost behol the band aid is said twice because it applies to two sets of people. 1. The killer-Behold the lost(an damned soul) who commited this crime. Behold the band daid=behold the quick remedy that really won't solve what he di, his execution. 2. he victims oof his crimes- behold the lost(lives and those who have lost) behold the band aid (even thou we cant bring your loved one back, we will kill theo one that killed them The speaker in the end is saying that they choose to fight against the system as much as they can (Throught the teeth, biting at their heaels and cheeck to cheek). but their efforts may be too late. |

| Breaking Benjamin – The Diary of Jane Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Although the outward and obvious interpretaion is that this song is about love or the confusion of love, there is also a dual interpretation that I get. I see this song could be referring to marijuana or "Mary Jane" or "Jane" for short. The speaker could be using this love analogy to equate his feelings to "Jane" as if it were a real entity. Trying to find where he fits in "Jane's" life or where he fits in "Jane's" diary is him saying he wants to know his level of involvement with marijuana is small, habtiual, or addictive. "Burns another page" could refer to the speaker smoking a joint,as a page is a part of a book and a joint is a part of the plant. The speaker "looks the other way" meaning the speaker could be intentionally ingnoring signs that he is addicted or that this habit is having negative effects on him. This song means to me that the speaker could be struggling with himself about his feelings toward this drug as well as feelings toward and about himself. |
