| Woodkid – Iron Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I think I'm one of the few people who actually heard the song before even knowing what the hell Assassin's Creed even is (I'm not a big video game fan!) I watched the trailer though and yes, the song goes perfectly with it....it's very powerful and the game looks compelling! I also saw the official music video to the song and thought that was equally good. I didn't know what to make of this song when I first heard it, except that I thought it was totally unique and amazing and gave me goosepumps. I think it's woodkid's (forgotten his real name!) voice with the brass and that drumbeat which is kinda tribal and warlike. I can certainly see the links to the idea of it being a soldier's song (a soldier from any age) but I also think it can be interpreted less literally as somebody facing any sort of challenge alone. The whole thing together makes me appreciate the skill needed to make good music, i'm no techqnical genuis but I would say this song is a multi layered masterpiece....so many different little sounds all adding up to make this huge epic track that just stirrs up such excitement and a sense of awe and wonder when you listen to it...yes i'm getting carried away now but seriously...I'm addicted to this song! |

| Skillet – Comatose Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I agree with chazzinator! I mean of course a lot of Skillet songs will be about God, some are with no dispute but that doesn't mean every single one is about god. Being Christian isn't just about slavishly worshipping God with words every second of your life. Of course you should worship God with words and I'm not saying there is anything wrong with that, or anything wrong with thinking this song is about God. I do think however people need to stop putting Skillet in a box labelled "Christian band who only produces songs of worship." Part of being Christian is living in the world with other human beings and loving others. There is nothing sinful about this and I think it's clear this song can be dedicated to somebody you love and can't live without (most likely a partner). Didn't God mark the importance of "Love your neighbour" as well as "Love your God"? | |
| Natasha Bedingfield – I Bruise Easily Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Beautiful song. As said, the melody is just lovely and the beat sort of merges with my heartbeat I feel, when I listen to it and it relaxes me and let's me just release pent up emotions. The song says it all really....for me personally though "learning to fall with no safety net to cushion the blow" and taking a "leap of faith" refers to the fact that I'm having to learn to accept I can't be with somebody who I want because they don't return my feelings. I'm going to have to love them alone (again) and that's inevitably painful. But unlike when I've been in this situation before, I can't have the "safety net" of dragging the person and all my family and friends down with me as I stuggle to cope with the situation. I'm in this alone this time and I've got to deal with it myself. | |
| Meg & Dia – Monster Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I think this song is so complex that it could have a thousand different meanings! The clearest and most logical though is that it is a story of rape written from the victim's (Hannah) daughter's point of view."Monster" could refer directly to her mother's rapist (who killed himself with kerosene) and it's the daughter blaming him- "how should I feel?" How should she feel as a child brought in to the world in such a violent way? Alternately I think "Monster" could refer to general feelings of madness/depression. I do think this song is about madness and stong feelings being like a monster dominating your mind and affecting how you feel. I'm amazed by the song if I'm honest....the lyrics are just beautiful in a disturbing way and it's sung very emotionally so you can feel the pain of whatever it's about. It gives me chills when I listen to it and sort of gets to me but it's addictive! |

| Bon Iver – Skinny Love Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I think this song is absolutoly beautiful, the credit of course goes to Bon Iver for writing such a song but I personally prefer the sound of Birdy's cover and think she has huge talent for a 14/15 year old! At the end of the day everybody interprets songs very personally and nobody is wrong. Most people have said this song is about a failed or failing relationsip somebody is desperately trying to hold together and I can see that. My interpretation is slightly different however due to my personal circumstances. I'm half in love with somebody who doesn't return my feelings, but initially said there "may be a chance". I said a lot of foolish things to them and in all honesty wish I could just cut them out of my life to forget them and not have my false hope fed. Unfortunately I can't do this and have to see them regulary for at least another year. Hence the "Come on skinny love just last the year." I see myself as skinny love personified,somebody who loves another but is receiving no love in return so emotionally you're just wasting away Having said this I have this natural need to be close to the person and want to be with them, so I have to force myself to avoid them as much as I can without being unpleasant. This is cutting the ropes to me and the acknowledgement that it's a tough thing to do or a "tall order". Like giving up a drug. And I have told this person to be all the things listed in the song as I find the whole situation socially difficult and it's caused some issues. To me the line "And in the morning I'll be with you, But it will be a different kind" refers to the fact that once I've calmed down I will accept that we will just have to be distant friends. The last stanza reers to the feelings of being lead on and the fact that I wonder if others will love this person as much as I would given the chance. The genereal references to blood and salt I do think are related to emotinal pain being like a wound, and maybe even literal wounds of self harm. The veneer to me is the seemingly lovely image I had of us being together because it's not real and never will be and it's been crushed. Anyway that's all just my opinion and it's very personal...I suppose anybody going through the same thing would get what I meant though |
