| Band of Horses – The Funeral Lyrics | 13 years ago |

i hate that people rated you negatively... I find it about a destructive relationship myself.... it seems as though the singer is singing about a lost loved one. Things went so bad for so long he can't even call her anymore. So he just waits for her funeral one day.. He hopes he does better in life than she does. He is so bitter that he hopes and strives to hold her down if that is all his success means he hopes it brings her down. ..... at least that is what I get out of the song! |

| The Killers – Under the Gun Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I love this site!!! I read it all the time as I find unusual interpretations in songs and always love to read other's opinions. Sometimes I agree, while most of the time I just read tons of other perspectives and I find it interesting. In this case I am finding all these interpretations that I don't agree with, and then I stumble upon yours. The song is Under the Gun by The Killers. I made the worst choice of my life and had a nervous breakdown and lost everything in my life. Then my relationship with my soul mate came to an ending. I have since tried to kill myself. I wound up in a hospital and had to rebuild my entire life back up. Now I JUST moved into a new apartment finally after two years of having broken up and I still think of her every night. I have tried and tried to get back with her but she won't speak to me. Your interpretation of this song is exactly how I feel. She has me trapped under a spell. She and I both used to run around like criminals living wild. She is an angel but she isn't coming back. Her kiss and her promises were lies. I think I will never be able to find true love like her again... and I contemplate suicide all the time as I just have tried everything and can't get her back. I am not suicidal rather I just feel trapped in this life and I want out. I won't kill myself... I tried and I have had therapy since then... but I feel like a prisoner and I feel as though I am begging for someone to kill me. |

Wow.... I have to say I enjoy yall's take on this song but I personally didn't view it about suicide at all... I felt like she wrote this song almost word for word about me..... I felt it was about a man who was dark and depressed and detached and was in love with a woman but wasn't with her. so instead he slept around with various women to fill a void. all for just the touch.... as opposed to love.... she was someone who cared about him and tried to reach through to him but he always kept everyone at a distance. and he lived a shallow existence of sleeping around depressed about a lost love. women adored him and tried to get more out of him but he never opened up enough .... and so instead of getting to wake up next to someone he loved.... they would leave in the night as it was purely sexual relationships .... so instead of being told good morning which is all he wanted he would only get told good night. the hanging reference I felt was more symbolic of his dependence on sexual outlets instead of real love and relationships of substance .... so she is writing about a man she once tried to reach through to but never got through so she gave up on him. and that's what all the women in his life did. he did nothing but continue his shallow existence of escaping the pain of a lost love through various sexual encounters...... I relate to this interpretation so well..... I lost my soulmate and tried to fill that void the same way for a very long time...... it resonates painfully for me.... I no longer do this as I no longer gain anything from it I dont even get pleasure from sex anymore as I miss her so much.... but this speaks to me as someone I used to be for so long...... |
