| Rise Against – Swing Life Away Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
This song actually inspired a character of mine (along with Demons, but more on that later). My character lost his family when he was young and so was fostered by his best friend and his family. This song reminds me of his early and late teen years, growing up with his best friend, his best friend's little sister, and his own little sister. His best friend's little sister (Annie) was kind of his rock and helped him get through everything. Whenever I think of this song, I think of Kingsley (my character) and Annie and how he wanted to run away with her after the tragedies of his past. |

CarvedKABOOSE: I can actually see it as an apology, but combining it with what you think and what I've also read, I see it as an apology for war. The "boy" is war, destruction, and the girl is Humanity, or Mother Nature. War is apologizing for causing such destruction, for giving her these scars. And, he's also apologizing for not remembering things about her. If a war rages long enough, then people can forget what it was like before. And maybe before War became War he was Peace. But because he's been War longer than Peace, everyone's forgotten about him. Just a thought~ |

It doesn't hurt to have your own interpretation. You may know the meaning of a painting, but how it applies to yourself is what you decide. This song reminds me of my depression and is telling me that I've got to find an actual cure, not a cough syrup to alleviate the symptoms. But anyways, thanks for telling us the real meaning. It'll help others a lot c: |

Originally, I honestly did believe that this song was about cough syrup abuse, but looking at your interpretation, I believe that more. And if this song was about cough syrup abuse, I think the lead singer is trying to say "This is the view point of drug abusers. It seems fun and calming, but it's not" Anyways, I really liked your interpretation C: |

| My Chemical Romance – Teenagers Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
I doubt Gerard meant this, but I always thought that "what you've got under your shirt will make them pay" always meant that you have a heart underneath. Kill them with kindness, or show them that you won't stoop to their level and bring a gun, instead turn away and slam the door (totally not a Frozen reference) But, yeah, he could mean a gun. |

I see lots of people interpretating this song as a craving for carnal pleasure, but there's always the obvious interpretation that this woman is a werewolf. But the way I see it might surprise you. The story I see told is a woman in love with a man, maybe his lover, and he's a carnal hunter, a wolf slaved to the moon. And he turns her. At first everything is perfect, they hunt together and on nights free of their curse, they find other ways to occupy themselves. But he leaves her when her wolf comes forward too much, when she drags her teeth across his chest, craving the taste of his beating heart. He runs, tries to run at least. But she hunts him mindlessly, craving the feel of burning blood down her throat and burning through her. But maybe she gets caught by hunters, possibly priests who hunt in the name of God. But they can't bind her, they can't hold her back from this hunt. She slaughters them, trekking across the bloodied Church ground. The curse she speaks of is lycanthrope, the curse of the Hunter, the wolf. It starts off as an innocent curse, controllable, a proud beast to be feared, but soon it dominates, it controls, it kills, slaughters, devouring the victim's flesh until it's an animal barely controlled by a hollow shell. Maybe the man could control it, maybe he could keep some semblance, but his lover couldn't. On the other end of the spectrum, this woman could be a vampire. The story much the same, although maybe this one is an innocent church boy. Probably named Adam, or Abraham, Issac, Josiah, Noah, something holy. She's attracted to his pure white skin, his innocent, curious nature, how holy he is. Maybe a priests son, or a child left at the Church's doorstep, howling in sorrow to the night. A child of God. Maybe they actually love each other, and they prove this, filling the night with the sounds of their carnal desires. But maybe he betrays her after learning her secret, or maybe because he loves her so much he wants to risk getting her soul back, or maybe he's scared of how carnal she is, running her teeth down his chest, sucking the blood out of his neck as they make love, murmuring how they'll be together forever. The priests bind her, set on destroying her. They burn her, destroy her, but leave her life hanging just on the edge, a dangerous time for a blood thirsty vampire. They then turn on her lover, deeming him unworthy of God, conversing with the Devil's whore, and go to hurt him. They start to cut him, but they don't realize that once a vampire has drank the blood of a lover, if their scent is caused by something other than the vampire themself, they are driven wild, driven into a monster. She breaks free from the silver ropes, out of the pit of Holy Water, and she devours the priests hearts, drinks their burning blood as they scream in agony. Her lover watches in horror, holding his crucifix necklace as tightly as he can. When she finishes, the front of her dress is bloodied, along with her neck, mouth, hair, and her bare feet. She moves forward to touch him, but he tosses the crucifix at her, burning her. But she suffers the pain to show she loves him, that she's not soulless. And he believes her. But he can't risk it. So he leaves her, heart shattered. And maybe that's her curse now. To always fall in love with the holy, and to corrupt them so much they're blacker than sin. The chorus? What young lovers wouldn't want immortality? To be together forever? But if they achieve it, it becomes something else, something dark. And maybe she describes every moment with him, every night they spent making love. How his voice forces her undead heart to beat, forces her blood to sing with his, and she's just lost in this feeling. Maybe before she met him, before she made love to him, she was controlled, she couldn't kill, she couldn't destroy. She'd drink from convicts, abusive parents, avoid the innocent. But he turned her into a monster, and she wanted him in every way. And maybe she drank less from convicts, maybe more from nearby innocent people, or people who acted against her lover in the most innocent way. And maybe after he runs away, after he throws his crucifix at her, she hunts for him. Maybe she's insane, reliving this memory. Of every person she corrupt. She hunts for him on the same Church ground. And every year she finds his grave, hidden far away on it's grand landscape in the farthest corner. And every year she dies a little more. Sorry for the long interp, but it had to be done. Ciao! ~SakuraRose14 |

I listened to this song for the longest time and before I acknowlegded the son part, I thought it was about a man and woman. When I registered the son part, I thought it was a student/ teenager and an older man and thought the boy was gay. But I eventually got around to looking up the lyrics and saw God in there, I was a little disappointed, but I still love the song. |

In my opinion, I believe this song has something to do with depression and being driven "closer to the edge" of insanity and death. I know I have felt I was being driven to some unseen cliff, the winds buffeting me and soon feeling a small push that almost gets me to fall. It's my own open interpretation. |
