I know what this song means, but in my opinion, its different. To be honest, I've been reading "The Capture" by Kathryn Lasky, and this song reminds me a bit of one of the characters. Keep in mind this is my interpretation, not the real meaning. Is this just an illusion That I made inside my head to get me by? To me, this means someone is living in such horrible conditions that they're slowly going mad, or becoming emotionless or something. Twenty years in debt Twenty years in the government Twenty years can never get me by Once again, I believe this means that someone is imprisoned. They gave into working for horrible people so they could protect their family. The person knew that it was for the best despite how hard it would be to work, and escaping was unrealistic. Then I feel you close Feel you close like you wanted me to Feel you close like you wanted me to Believe in you No matter how much time passes, they still believe that they are doing the right thing. Despite the protests of their loved ones, the person didn't wish for them to be hurt. Rise to the top of the world, America America, don't you cry Lift me up Give me strength to press on Rise to the top of the world, America America, don't you cry Lift me up Give me strength to press on Every single day is hell, and the person is slowly losing their head. They have to watch people, emotionless with defects, slaving away at unnecessary work. Yet every single day, the person seems to grow a bit stronger. From farmers in the fields To the tallest of the towers that fall and rise Where the person works, they see many people doing different jobs, such as caring for babies, and a type of mining for a diamond-like thing. No matter how different they are, they're all the same slaves. 1-7-7-6 The names upon the list In the book, the enslaved characters are always renamed with numbers, so this is very meaningful. For all the ones that gave until they died Don't you hold back I can see in your mind, and your mind will set you free Eventually, the person finds two children that resisted the hypnotism. He tells them that he can teach them to escape by flying. When they are flying away, he's dying, proud that he helped them. |

I believe that this song is about how some people are depressed. No matter how sad you can get, somewhere you'll find hope. I heard about a girl in my school that committed suicide, and I believe that she just couldn't see that bit of hope telling her that she had friends. But supposedly she had family troubles, so she felt it was the best thing to do. I, for one, haven't thought of suicide, but I'm anorexic. Its difficult to find the energy to find joy in living when I haven't eaten in weeks. But thanks to this song, I see hope. By saying "I can't escape this now, unless you show me how." shows that no matter what, somebody will always care for you. |

"She barely knew your name He was just a city, she's just a dirt road But that never meant a thing Running from the country, she needed out but He held that diamond ring" The girl here, doesn't have much self esteem, and she'd fall in love with guys fairly easily. Here, it's love at first sight, yet she feels that she isn't good enough for him. While he, on the other hand, wants to become friends with her, and he's reaching out. But the girl is frightened, still believing that he's too good for her, even though he's so tempting. Cause I can't sit oh I cant talk I gotta leave this town and run to you Curse these nights that speak your name I gotta leave this town and come to you Break (oh) this (oh) curse (oh) Ha ha ha Break (oh) this (oh) curse (oh) She barely knew your name Still, no matter how much she tries to leave it behind, she loves him. But even after he tried to befriend her, she ran off. When she's rethinking everything, she realizes how much she loves him, and wishes to be with him. He was such a worry No need to hurry Those streets are slick at night She would never listen She left it all and headed towards the light Oh your eyes look tired But love was all she knew Screaming out in agony she gave her life for you Eventually, the girl finds the courage to return to him. Even when she's terrified of being rejected, she continues to try to be friendly. But soon, the boy falls in love with a different girl, and the first girl is depressed. Soon, she finally surrenders her happiness and realizes that her life isn't worth much. |

To me, this song means that you're hopeless. Everything is crashing down on you, but you see that tiny spark of opportunity. After taking the chance, you'd rise from the ashes and become superior... Or looking powerless, but having more strength than most people do... |
