| Eminem – Space Bound Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
This one rings close. Once upon a woman, she reached out to my core and I gave in when I am not the kind of person to be alright with the very notion of companionship. So I went in ahead, in spite of my better sense, and fell hard. Fell so hard. Eventually, she grew tired of me, since I was not "the same person" I was when we started going out. Not sure if that's true, cause I merely opened myself to her like I never have before. She showed me her faults and I accepted her, and when I did the same, she did not. Whatever, I was long fixated on her even when it was all over. I ached everyday, I hated every minute apart from her... and I became obsessed. I fucked up every time afterwards when we'd communicate. I won't deny my fault, cause I had great part of it, but she threw me away when I needed her the most. Now adays, she matters little to me, or rather, if I feel something, it is mere animosity. I am a much more balanced person now. But this song will always remind me of that relationship, years ago. |

| The Birthday Massacre – To Die For Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
Tonight, my girlfriend and I parted ways. We were the happiest together, but me - I am messed up and I really believe she would be better off with someone better. In any case, our farewell will weight on me cause I love her, and I know she loves me still. As I feel the pang of regret that ought to come with such a decision, I feel she may be singing this to herself in her room. She always used to sing TBM songs to cheer me up. |

| Enigma – Gravity Of Love Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
I think there is a very deep William Blake influence to this song. First off, we have the overall sensual tone of the song which can be attributed to an unabashed attitude about affection and intimacy. Between those two there is a relation of vulnerability which is exemplified by 'the experience of survival' - to love and let love in, you have to take a chance, a risk and place yourself in a plate for your lover to metaphorically prey on you. Thus, the 'gravity' of love, as in solemn 'gravitas' means, I think, that to love properly, you must be vulnerable. The excess that leads to wisdom reminds me of 'A Marriage of Heaven and Hell' written by William Blake where the verse 'those who repress desire do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained' features somewhat in this song. Considering that Enigma looks into the meaning and context of the texts and music they draw inspiration from (If they did from Blake in this case), the excess does not refer to taking obscene liberties or hedonism, but rather a feeding of the spirit, which safe to say, is sexual, though not vulgar and devoid of commitment. The religious imagery in the musical video also do kind of drive my interpretation on, the yoking together of the dark and the light serves to undo or blur the distinctions and make indeed 'a marriage of Heaven and Hell' with a lot of delightful fucking across the ages. |

| The Cranberries – Just My Imagination Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
I feel a little sad every time I hear this song, regardless of how beautiful it is. We all grow old and we all end up yearning for times as careless as such in this song, when one feels the youngest one could possibly be. I do not know if I will ever be able to live for love again, and leave responsibilities to be a duty that goes on and not a burden, but faith is all you have sometimes. |

| A more accurate way to look at this song would overall be the agon of the elves in The Silmarillion. | |
| Enya – May It Be Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| With all due respect, while there was indeed a Christian influence about Tolkien, it is not only Christians who walk a lonely road, every man, woman, child from every religion walks at one time or another a lonely road. Think about the jews in their persecution, africans in the diaspora. Don't be vain. | |
| The Goo Goo Dolls – Iris Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
She and I loved each other so vehemently and now we're just a little more than strangers. If only she could understand what I'd give for one more chance to be her man. This always reminds of devotion, I just want her to know who I am and what I can give. Blessed be this song. Blessed be her. |

| Eminem – Beautiful Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Lately, my beloved woman has strayed away and she's kept me away from her. I felt very hurt, but now listening to this song and reflecting upon the verses, I believe I can understand what she is going through. | |
| Daft Punk – Something About Us Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Indeed, this song has a powerful presence despite its' relative simplicity. I feel identified with it. There is this girl, I love her and she loves me, but we both have a lot of stuff to deal with in our individual lives, and to top it all, we are far away from each other. Lately we got into a fight and for a moment I feared and wept that it may all be over. The next day we talked it through and came to the same conclusion, it is not the right time. I love her in a way I cant love anybody else. |
