Dan Fogelberg – Leader of the Band Lyrics 11 years ago
i love this song but I get sad at the end when he says, the leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old". Reminds me that my father, the man I think is indestructible, is getting older and eventually that time will come.

Johnny Cash – God's Gonna Cut You Down Lyrics 11 years ago
This song is about the SMU Mustangs of the early and mid 80's with their wild, cowboy way of running their football program. Paying players to play the college game, paid them well too. Johnny makes it clear when he says, You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Saying sooner or later God will destroy this program and its shady handshakes

Joshua Kadison – Jessie Lyrics 11 years ago
man, this song used to hit home. I had a girlfriend that would do this over and over to me, for 8 years. Shed say she wanted to do this or do that and we'd break up and then out of the blue I would call her and she would come over and things would start going great and I would swear I was going to make work this time...just like this song says. Then out of the blue she would start the "I dont know what I want". But as Kadison shows us how excited hes getting to see Jessie again, I know how he felt because I would get the same way. I would be on cloud 9. As for the song, its a pretty song, but the song is actually a sad song because we know Jessie is going to lead him on again

Sarah McLachlan – Fallen Lyrics 12 years ago
I suppose everyone sees things different in songs, but this one seems so clear cut to me. IMO, it could be about nothing else BUT addiction. I guess if youve never been down that road it may not jump out at you like it does me, but every single verse is dead on how an addict feels. "Heaven bend to take my hand" is saying please help me with this.

"We all begin with good intent
When love was raw and young
We believe that we can change ourselves
The past can be undone
But we carry on our back the burdens time always reveals
In the lonely light of morning
In the wound that would not heal
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
I've held so dear"

This verse is what reallyt makes it stick out to me. losing everything you loved because of the addiction.

And then the chorus, "I've messed up
Better I should know
Don't come 'round here and
Tell me I told you so"

That is saying i know what i am doing is wrong and then people always telling you that you better be careful and then addiction grabs you and they all say "I told you this would happen".

THis song is very hard to listen to for addict
