| Taylor Swift – False God Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| This song is all about retrospect, how a passionate relationship never stood a chance to become real, but was firey and embraced as an idealization. An almost religious level of chemistry that transcends logic and embraces blind faith. Stroking one another's egos (and more), being larger than life as in an entire city. It's not about logic, it's about a feeling, and how the thrill of it is enough to make you think it could last, even though it's not founded in anything of substance (aside from the accompaniment of wine). | |
| Frank Sinatra – All Or Nothing At All Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| Frank is saying, "don't lead me on, or offer me a casual relationship. I want true love. Nothing less, unless that something is nothing." Or in the words of Rob Thomas "give me your heart, make it real or let's forget about it." | |

| Fossil Collective – Let It Go Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
The singer is in the inside, with his vision clouded, and wants to stay that way regardless of what others will say to deter him. Leaves on the ground already came- It has passed in the physical sense but the memory lingers We were an island, you were the one who broke away- We were in this life together, then you broke up with me Tried to make a fire without a flame- Tried to create love without a solid foundation There's a light in the sky and it's coming up high- optimism/hope Longest night I have ever known- a dark period that looms for an extended period Only when the moon is high enough Only when the stars are lining up - This is when we can be together again Let it go- now is not the answer- Don't reach out, wait patiently Call me when you see the sun lie low- Call me when you think the day is beginning/ a sunrise/ after this extended night This is a song about not getting over someone, but feeling it's right, being broken up with and allowing for time to pass and the person to let him know when she feels hop again too. |

| Keane – Spiralling Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| This song is about how a narcissist experiences love. As something that takes from them, and leads to a loss of power (spiraling down, when we fall in love we're really falling in love with ourselves). It's about the person who thrives off of love, and will fall in love only after feeling that someone has already gifted their love. They're in love with being loved. | |
| Kelly Clarkson – Just Missed The Train Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
The singer is asking for a commitment, and the object of her desire just wants something casual. She can sense his apathy, when she is all in, and she feel like they're missing the "train" (opportunity) to ride off together and truly start a journey of love. Roll over baby, the time has come to make a little bit more room [ i want a commitment] I've hung around you, it's getting tough I think I'm gonna break down soon I remember, crying in the park, it was getting dark Suddenly I looked up You were my sky [ i fell in love with you] So go on and Sleep darling [ ignore the love we have] Why don't you pretend we were just a dream It's cool baby It doesn't matter anyway I'm so sorry We got to the station a little too late It's such a shame We just missed the train [we missed our chance at love] Be quiet angel, don't make a sound Save it for a rainy day [ maybe you'll confess your love when you're bored and lonely] Oh can't you see me, I'm such a mess trying hard to find my way Do you remember, wasting all that time, we were feeling fine Though we couldn't walk a line We were alright [ we were crazy about each other] |

| Jesse Thomas – Fire Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
It sounds like the writer has been in a relationship that is nearing the end, that she isn't ready to let go of. I'm in the middle of your bed, [she's feeling balanced] but you're pushed to the side of it [he's about to exit the relationship] and your hands are tucked into your sleeves. No luck in reaching them. [He's closed off emotionally to her] We could be fire. We could be. [ We could still be in love.] What do you dream [What do you think of while you're mentally checked out] while I'm wide awake, [ I'm still in this] picking at pillow seams? [picking fights] Frozen like statues, [not breaking up yet due to complacency] I'm restless but afraid to move. [if we talk about it you could break up with me] We could be fire. We could be. [ If we try, we can reignite our passion] |

| Beck – Morning Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
Initially I thought this song was about a lost love, but after many more listens I think this is a song of symbolic rebirth, or a renewed love of life. That among all of life's hardship (storm, thorns) the singer has found a new beginning (morning) and reflects on what it would have been like if they had the revelation sooner (would you show me the way it could have been?) (Can we start it all over again) is a rhetorical question for a higher power, as to ask "is it possible to symbolically be a clean slate, because I know that this physical life cannot be rewound." The last verse before the chorus symbolizes the intangibility of resilience, returning to being at peace with life after a treacherous hardship. |

| Sheryl Crow – Home Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| Home seems to represent a feeling of comfort that she once found in a love. Now the love has dissipated but she still calls it home. She feels like she invested her entire life and being into a single person, and now that the relationship is deteriorating, she feels like she is. She yearns for the thrill or lust of a new romance. Her preferences have changed and she's questioning the relationship and can see how much it hurts her partner. | |
| Phantom Planet – Lonely Day Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I could tell from the minute I woke up It was going to be a lonely lonely lonely lonely day Rise and shine, rub the sleep out of my eyes I try to tell myself I can't go back to bed - Classic depression, sleeping the day away It was going to be a lonely lonely lonely lonely day - Lack of hope for the day, just trying to get out of bed and spend time solo Even though the sun is shining down on me And I should feel about as happy as can be I just got here and I already want to leave It was going to be a lonely lonely lonely lonely day It was going to be a lonely lonely lonely lonely day Everybody knows that somethings wrong But nobody knows what's going on -It's obvious he's going through something but nobody knows what or how to help We all sing that same old song - status quo isn't challenged, ppl content in discontentment When you want it all to go away - Want the bad feeling to disappate but the outlook is too strong Its shaping up to be a lonely day - Thoughts manifest in reality, so the day is lonely |

| Death Cab for Cutie – Two Cars Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I agree the mouths to fees aren't kids, but the depression and how like a poor mother unable to feed her children, he's unable to give his festering emotions the attention they deserve, they're overwhelming. I try to scrape it off the thought of skin against skin (forget about the sex) And move it from the front to back and started (go again) (move the memory to the back of his mind) You go have a good time Bring back stories 'cause I will stay behind (she's moved on and he's still wanting her) So punch the clock, two months are up, and I am stuck down (depression becomes like a job, rudimentary, something he must partake in, and it's been 2 months since the breakup) Against the floor the heat rises out and leaves town ( being at the lowest point possible used to bring on hot tears, but now just a hollow is left) |

| Five Times August – First Time For Everything Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| It's about losing a love, being broken up with, and feeling like he bears the burden of all the hurt. He gets nostalgic, revisiting old places trying to let the fact that it's over sink in. He's ready to cut this person out of his life because now he can only associate this person with not being his first love, but first heartbreak. | |
