| Metallica – Nothing Else Matters Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| Guys we're all missing the point. This song is what you make of it. You as an individual. I think Metallica purposefully created a non-specific song, with such empowering yet morbid lyrics. Whether the dudes wrote this about being away from a cherished lover, or a family member going through cancer, or finding yourself among a sea of people trying to define you- it appeals to such a huge audience with such different interpretations of the song, because it could mean anything. It means whatever the listener wants it to. I honestly love this form of song writing, in a way which the audience is left to make their own judgement of a song's meaning, because then you take away what you really need from the song rather than what the song is trying to give you. Metallica really thought this song through (or maybe I'm overthinking?) | |
| La Dispute – Such Small Hands Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
I think I saw you in my dreams you were Stitching up the seams on every broken promise That your body couldn't keep (He imagines this person apologising for something she has done wrong. Most likely cheating on him. He imagines- and hopes- that she is trying to fix whatever she has broken in the first place, but is quickly brought to the fact that it was't reality hence the repetition of it only being a dream) I thought I heard the door open but I only heard it close (He thought the relationship was mending, only to find it sealed shut. She no longer wants anything from him.) I thought I heard a plane crashing, but Now I think it was your passion snapping (He compares their broken relationship to a plane crash. Dead-ended, hopeless and tragic. He only mentions her lack of passion since his is still avid.) I think you saw me confronting my fear, it Went up with a bottle and went down with the beer and (He turns to alcohol to deal with the pain she has caused him. She notices this but decides to turn a blind eye to it.) I think you ought to stay away from here (He still loves her but is realising she is doing more harm than good by sticking around.) There are ghosts in the walls and they Crawl in your head through your ear (The ghosts are her 'secret' lover/s. They convince her what she is doing is fine and harmless as she continues to hurt him.) Keep in mind this is only my interpretation. I love this song and La Dispute. |
