Fleetwood Mac – Landslide Lyrics

11 years ago

For me this song is about growing up and reflecting on all the changes going on in your life and the plans you’re making for your future. Right now, I know this all too well. I’m a teenager and I know how trying to be everything can make you lose your mind. I’m really hard on myself and always over think just about everything. Basically I see this as one of those late nights when you’re just lying there and thinking and you begin to think about your family and friends, about your childhood, about the changes going on in the present, and lastly questioning your ability be able to emotionally and mentally handle what’s to come in the future. It’s about realizing your fear of taking risks when you've always played it safe, but then you realize that the only way to go further is to take risks and hope for the best, because you can’t stay a child forever and you’re growing up and you have to make those decisions where the outcome is totally unknown. I see the landslide as being a reference to you telling yourself that everything is going to be okay and kind of going back to reality and carrying on.

Gabrielle Aplin – Please Don't Say You Love Me Lyrics

11 years ago

I think this song is pretty self explanatory. She is talking about how everything in her life used to be all over the place until this guy came into her life and that is when it all just sorta fell into place. She is asking him not to tell her he loves her cause she doesn't want to move to fast, she just kinda wants to take it slow and see where things lead them. Everything is going so well she doesn't want to see it get messed up. Also, I think she is asking him to show her the love rather than just to simply, outright tell her. On a side note I definitely feel that there is a huge difference between loving someone and being in love with someone, the latter being the one in which she refers to in the song. I've always thought that loving someone was just simply caring about them and wanting the best for them while being in love with someone is when you couldn't imagine your life without that person.

Ed Sheeran – Sunburn Lyrics

11 years ago

I definitely see this as someone who is in a new relationship, but they are still not over their last one. They had to end their relationship, but for some reason he didn't want to, so now he is left looking for someone like her. He reminisces about the times they had with one another, but then realizes that things won't ever be the same. He also can't get over the fact that they just kind of ended it rather than trying to talk it out and he's confused that they didn't even try to work it out since they were so into each other.

Coldplay – The Scientist Lyrics

11 years ago

This guy who I was talking to for quite a bit and really liked sent me this song after we had a little argument. When he sent it he told me that “he hoped this doesn’t happen” and when I asked him what he thought it was about he told me he thought it was about a guy who liked this girl a lot and that they had an amazing start, but then something happens and it ends up being the guy who tries to fix the problems and wants the relationship again. When I asked him if he felt that it was going to be us he said “no and I hope it doesn’t”. Anyways, fast forward a couple of months and this is exactly how things ended up between us except with the roles reversed. It’s like by sending that song he was foreshowing what would end up happening. Now I’m the one who wants him again and he has already moved on. I really just wish we could go back to the start and begin again. The reason we stopped talking is ridiculous, but get this it was my fault. That’s what’s really upsetting me is that essentially I could’ve prevented it all. I said something that day to him that prompted the argument that led to our end and I really wish I would’ve never said it. I’m not really sure what I was thinking…maybe I just wasn’t thinking, but the thing is I tried apologizing and taking it back and saying I didn’t mean it, but he wouldn’t have any of that. He told me he liked me, yet he’s the one who left. I think that’s what’s really haunting me. The fact that if you really liked someone you would try, yet he didn’t want to. Makes me feel it was all just a lie. In the back of my mind I feel he just needed an excuse to stop talking to me. He moved onto another girl 2 weeks later; I think I have the right to think that. Honestly though, I still feel it was such a shame for us to part. Even if I wasn’t to have had a relationship with him he was still a really good friend who I enjoyed talking to. After things ended with us though, I found out he’s not the person I thought he was. He told people things he shouldn’t have and that’s really gotten to me and kind of helped me move on. Like even after I confronted him about lying to me and telling people things that I’d said to him he told someone something that I’d previously told him that very night. Yet, I still miss him. I feel like I’m running around in circles at this point. In the blink of an eye I go from being “over” him to wanting him. Essentially, I think I really just want to go back to the start so I could tell myself not to have ever started something with someone like him.

Pink – I Don't Believe You Lyrics

This song really resonates with me. For me, it’s about a girl that’s broken up from the recent ending of a relationship she was in. She’s saying how they’ve fought before and come close to ending it, but they resolved it and she hopes this will be the result once more. She doesn’t want to believe him when he says that it’s the end of them. It’s too tough for her to process, especially after he told her that they were “forever”. She doesn’t mind waiting around for him even though it’s a nightmare, because in the end she hopes that it will be worth it. She knows that he’s over her, but she’s still holding onto some kind of hope that he’ll come back to her. She’s asking him to not just stand there nonchalantly watching her breakdown, because she still doesn’t mind waiting for him and she needs him to reciprocate that need, not just move on without her. She feels like he’s satisfied with what they had, but she isn't and needs more. She’s not over him. Although I was never in a relationship with the guy who I think of when I hear this song; it still fits in, all too clearly, with how things went down between us.
