| The Beatles – Eleanor Rigby Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| this song talks about eleanor rigby, a woman who pretends to be someone she isn't and has for so long she doesn't even know who she realty is anymore. it also talks about father Mackenzie, a priest who is discouraged by the fact that although he preaches to his sermon, no one trly listens to what he is trying to teach them about Christ. this is causing him to lose his faith and begins to not care. these are two people who are alone in the world and have no one to turn to | |
| Lorde – Royals Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| basically this song is trying to convey to the audience that they will not allow money and fame to change the person they are. they are content with themselves and have no interest in trying to be included into high class society bc there is more to life than that | |
| Passenger – Let Her Go Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| this song is not necessarily about a guy who regrets losing his girl, or someone who works on the road and misses home, or someone coming down off drugs! these are all metaphors for not appreciating something until you no longer have it! | |
| Eddie Vedder – Society Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
this song is about peoples obsession with material possessions and how we decide a persons' success by what they can afford to buy. "we have greed, to which we have agreed" means it is a human characteristic to want more for yourself and is greedy at some level. You think you have to want More than you need Until you have it all you won't be free (refers to how society is never satisfied with what they have but constantly trying to do whatever they have to have more, bigger, better, newer possessions, Society, you're a crazy breed I hope you're not lonely without me;- he is referencing that he is putting little worth on material things bc it is becoming an epidemic And when you think more than you want Your thoughts begin to bleed (refers to how ppl who are content with what they have are able to see how sad and pitiful everyone is when it comes to money and things There's those thinking more or less less is more But if less is more how you're keeping score? Means for every point you make Your level drops Kinda like its starting from the top You can't do that... (meaning that we are all in competation with one another for the best car or biggest house, like playing a game. but there will always be someone who will have more than you do, fueling the madness and u can never win. you cant start on the top bc there will always be someone that can outshine you Society, have mercy on me I hope you're not angry if I disagree ( he is saying that he doesn't measure a man's worth by these things and hopes he isn't outcast by society for not having nice things |

| Eddie Vedder – Hard Sun (Indio cover) Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
this is about human desire to find what makes you happy and having the drive and will power to achieve it. "when I walk beside her, I am the better man. when I go to leave her, I always stagger back again" meaning when he has that drive for success he is the better man for it and there is always a portion of that drive in him that he never fully loses. " there's a big a big hard sun beaten on the big people in the big hard world" this is a metaphor that you cannot escape from life on this earth, that everyone alive has struggles "when she comes to greet me she is mercy at my feet" is saying that his desire for happiness is only a benefit to him and will never do him harm or wrongdoing and he is the only one that can benefit from it. "once I sought an early grave to find a better land she just smiled and laughed at me and took her blues back again" refers to a dark time when he was thinking of suicide but his will to live took over and took the bad feelings away "when I go to cross that river she is comfort by my side when I try to understand she just opens up her hands" this is saying that this is what gets him through tough times and why he desires to change for the better, and although he doesn't fully understand where its coming from, its always with him to help him "once I stood to lose her when I saw what I had done bound down and flew away the hours of her garden and her sun" is saying he almost had given up on himself at time and lost all hope and had to work twice as hard to be a good person and make the right decisions "so I tried to warn her i'll turn to see her weep 40 days and 40 nights and it's still coming down on me" ignoring your inner good and making a decision that you know is wrong and hurtful can have severe consequences and the guilt can last a very long time |

| seems like he is talking about a past failed relationship and that person moving on with their life while he feels like he is being forgotten and tries but cant forget about her | |
| Cold – Feel it in Your Heart Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
I interpret these lyrics as someone expressing regret for something awful they did in the past, and is growing to regret it and hate who they were bc of it. 1. Can't run away from love If you cannot feel meaning he wont allow himself to have feelings for someone bc he is unworthy of being loved 2.Feels like i'm torn apart And I cannot bleed Caught in the web we made This just can't be real this is portraying how the guilt has made them dead inside and they feel trapped in a nightmare 3. Can you feel this in your heart Can you take it to your soul I don't want you to pretend I don't want to be alone he is asking someone about his past and can they imagine how he feels. he doesn't want them to pretend its okay and he is afraid they will want nothing to do with him 4.I am so far away from gone I just want to be here is saying he is beyond saving and doesn't expect ha;ppiness 5.Everyday I live through this Inside I've changed- this is saying he feels guilt and shame everyday and that is his punishment and is no longer the type of person who does awful things his biggest fear is being forced to solitude bc his past is so terrible ppl cannot forgive him |

| Cold – Cure My Tragedy (A Letter to God) Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
this song is about the heartache of being separated by your child, 1.Remember all the times that we used to play (playing and having fun with his daughter) You were lost and i would save you (daddy being her hero and coming to her rescue) I don't think those feeling will ever fade You born a part of me (you changed his life and made him a new man) 2. When i sit and think of the days we shared and the nights you covered before me Every little thing that i ever did You would stand by me (referring to the unconditional love a daughter has for her daddy) Everytime you would cry it would take my wind My heart would break (a father's desire to make his daughter happy and and shelter her from sadness or pain) If I could be strong like you were for me You are my faith (the love for your child is the reason for living and why you believe in the possibility of happiness)Won't you cure my tragedy Don't take her smile away from me She's broken and I'm far away conveys that she has been taken away from him and it was neither of their choice, and she If you made the world a stage for me Then i hope that you could hear me scream-means that he hasn't had any influence in her being taken away and if they would give him a chance to say how he feels, it would be obvious how bad he is hurt can't take this anymore I can't take this anymore Won't you take and give her pain to me 'Cause my whole life I've made mistakes-he feels like his daughter is innocent and pure and doesn't deserve to feel this pain so give it to him to endure for her bc he has made mistakes in life and unlike her, isn't perfect |

| Cold – Wasted Years Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
I interpret this song as a relationship ending that he was completely committed to and invested a portion of his life to being with this person forever, but she did something to hurt him badly and end their relationship. "There's a game life plays Makes you think you're everything they ever said you were Like to take some time Clear away everything I've planned" is conveying how life can take some unexpected turns and ruin your plans for your future Was it life I've betrayed For the shape that I'm in It's not hard to fail It's not easy to win Did I drink too much Could I disappear And there's nothing that's left but wasted tears I interpret as he is questioning if he is the reason this is happening, asking himself if he could have tried harder or done things differently. If I could change my life Be a simple kind of man try to do the best I can If I could take the sides I'd derail every path I could I'm about to die -is trying to say that if he could do it over, he would do things completely different and do everything he could to keep this from happening bc he is so heartbroken. Won't you clear away from me give me strength to fly away he wants her to leave him alone and let him move on |
|
| Cold – Gone Away Lyrics | 12 years ago |

| Cold – Stupid Girl Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| this song is about a couple and the guy is sad and a lil angry and resentful towards the girl for leaving him. "im a loser, im a winner in my mind. im a good one, im a bad one with a smile" is referring tl the changes in the way she feels for him. "shes going away, whats wrong with my life today" portrays her choice to leave him and how it wrecked his life | |
| Elliott Smith – Sweet Adeline Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
ending your life is what Elliot smith was trying to convey to his fans with lyrics like this and here is my reasoning: 1. burn it backwards, kill the history- he is trying to tell someone he is close to forget about him and go back to before they met like he never existed to her 2.make it over, make it stay away- he is asking her to walk away from him and never look back 3.or hatell wtite the ending of what love started to say-means if he doesn't end things now she will grow to resent and hate him, and that's far worse than letting her go 4.can you spare some sunshine for a brother, old man winters in the air-is trying to express how unhappy he has been and how things will get much darker and colder when she is no longer in his life 5. youre just a shooting star-is a metaphor for the girl's beauty he sees in her and although it was brief and will no doubt come to an end, it is still better than never knowing her at all 6, staring down the sun,,,deaf, dumb and done- is saying that everyday will be torture without her and time will pass so slowly and without meaning and he blames himself for how its ended 7. waiting for sedation to disconnect my head, any situation where im better off dead-is interpreted as looking to drugs to numb his pain bc his life is unbearable without her in his life |

| 3 Doors Down – Here Without You Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| this song is about being separated from the person you love, and waiting until you can be with them again. it makes me think of someone in the military who misses their wife terribly but is on the other side of the world. or it could be about your true love that dies and you dream of when you can see them again in Heaven. "a hundred days have made me older....a thousand lies have made me colder" means that he is so unhappy without her that he isn't even the same person when they are apart....that being near her makes him a better man. "ive heard this life is over rated, but I hope that it gets better as we go" is referring to the commitment to one and only person is difficult but the best is still to come. "everything I know, anywhere I go, its get hard but it wont take away my love" is conveying the love they have for one another despite anything and although its difficult, will stay committed to each other. "but youre still on my lonely mind...and I dream about u all the time" is portraying how they constantly think about them and dream of being together again. | |
| 3 Doors Down – Citizen Soldier Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| this song is referring to the way the human race never fails to help those in need. the Haiti earthquake and hurricane sandy are just a couple examples to explain what I mean. "I walk beside you but you may not see me. the strongest among may not wear a crown" means that the people that stand up and make a difference in someones life when they need it the most are regular people that you pass everyday and don't expect rewards or acknowledgement for their good deeds. | |
| Three Days Grace – Break Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
this song is about doing meth or some other upper, but prolly meth. 1.)"I need something to pick me up" is talking about getting high on speed 2.)"I wont stop, I wont say ive had enough" is a metaphor for drug addiction and not being able to stop using 3.)tonight we start the fire is talking about the flame used to light the drugs in a pjpe or being cooked in order to shoot up 4.)"if u cant stand the way this place is, take yourself to higher places" means the way drugs numb reality 5.)"I feel like a vampire" refers to the way meth keeps you from sleeping and the way it causes users to isolate themselves and the need for dope, like a vampire needs blood 6.)"break away from everybody, break away from everything" again is referring to the isolation and seclusion that meth abusers normally experience |

| Seether – Remedy Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
this song is without a doubt about drug use, to be more precise, the use of uppers. here is why: 1.) "throw your dollar bills and leave your thrills here with me" is referring to the way addicts will risk everything they have for a high and how addicts live for their next high 2.)"I wont defend you anymore" is saying he knows he has a drug problem and can finally admit it 3.)"frail, the skin is dry and pale" because meth-heads are skinny and never leave their house 4.)"tell yourself, youll be the death of me" is saying he knows he will eventually die if he doesn't stop using 5.)"I don't need a friend, I need to mend so far away" means he doesn't want to bring anyone else into this lifestyle and getting away from it all is the only way to stop 6.)"hold your eyes closed" refers to the high of speed and the effect it has on the body and causes you to be unable to sleep for days 7.)"so come sit by the fire, and play a while" is referring to the flame used to light to meth and how other drug users are the closest thing he has to a relationship "clip the wings that get you high, leave them where they lie" is himself trying to convince him to stop using 8.)"it aches in every bone" is conveying the horrendous effects meth has on your body or the physical withdrawal from not having it 9.)"I see my heart explode" means the effect of using speed and how it makes your heart pound very fast and hard 10.)"back to the remedy" is saying how even knowing all this, how he will use drugs again |

| Shinedown – Second Chance Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| this song is about trying to be someone youre not to please people you love. "I made it through the day, I watch the world outside" is saying how everyday is torture and the freedom to fix it is so close. "why are you always running in place, even the man on the moon disappeared" is referring to wanting to make a change but don't out of fear and how everyone has to find their own self in their own way. "tell my mother, tell my father, ive done the best I can to make them realize this is my life" is pretty obvious he has tried to explain to his parents that this life isn't what he wants. "sometimes goodbye is a second chance" means that his second chance at a happy life is having to get away from everything he knows and say goodbye to the cares about to build the life he wants, no matter the costs. | |
| Shinedown – Shed Some Light Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| this song is about how he knows now that he has made wrong choices in life, but doesn't have anything better to live for. "shed some light on me, and hold me up in disbelief" is asking someone who has been where he is and risen above the flames to tell him what he needs to do and have sympathy on him. "tell me someone ill believe in" is his desire to have something or someone worth fighting for, to have something in his life that is good to have in place of his destructive lifestyle choices. "innocence within the maze, but I have chosen the wrong way" means he takes responsibility for his bad decisions but at the time wasn't aware of the effect they would have. "I remember the way I fell from above, and recall who I was" is saying his life was good at one time, that things haven't always been bad for him and he wants that again | |
| Shinedown – Save Me Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
this song is most definitely about someone who abuses drugs , knows they are destroying themselves, and desperately crying out for someone to help them for these reasons: 1.) "candle and spoon" is obviously referring to intravenous drug use 2.)"I live in a hallway with no doors and no rooms" is a metaphor to how they feel there is no way out 3.)"how did I get here and what went wrong" is referring to they way his life got so out of control so fast that its hard to understand 4.)"save mefrom my blasphemy in my wasteland" this is easily translated by simply defining 'blasphemy: actions, statements or thoughts that are considered to be against God or general public morality 5.)"how could I love this, a life so dishonest. it made me compromise" questions how he could live for a life that is so meaningless and how he had chosen that life over other things that were important to him 6.)the last line "please don't erase me" is interpreted as asking people to not forget about him or give up on him, and keep trying to help him |
|
| Shinedown – Sound of Madness Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I have always thought this song is about someone who constantly bitches and complains about life and thinks the world owes them something, about someone who tries to get sympathy from others to make things easier for them and makes excuses for themselves instead of working for what they want. the social disease is referring to the people in society that try to get by in life without putting in any effort like the single mom with four kids who gets government checks instead of working, or the person who blames their parents for the way their life turned out, or the person who collects disability when they are completely able to put in a hard days work, or the guy who lives with his parents all their life, or the dead-beat dad that doesn't provide for his kids, or the person with anxiety that claims it keeps them from functioning like a normal human being. in other words, the social disease refers to the lazy, dysfunctional, unmotivated losers that surround us. "slipped down couldn't get much lower, quicksands got no sense of humor" refers to the way that things could always be worse and bettering your life isn't an easy task. "I created the sound of madness, wrote the book on pain " is interpreted as how he has been on rock bottom and has endured just as much heartache as anyone else. "somehow im still here to sxplain" means that he weathered the storm and made it out alive ."when ya gonna wake up and fight" is telling someone that your problems wont fix themselves, that achieving happiness isn't easy and you have to work hard to have it. | |
| Shinedown – Call Me Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I interpret these lyrics as two people who love one another, one who abuses drugs and the other desperately wants them to stop, despite trying, he is unable to get sober. so he makes a choice to leave that person so they have a chance at happiness, even if that means without him. | |
| Shinedown – Adrenaline Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| just bc he doesn't get high anymore doesn't mean he can't write about how he used to. might ever be therapeutic for him. or this song could have been written in the past. | |
| Shinedown – Adrenaline Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
This song is most definitely about drug abuse. Since Brent is sober these days, this song either was written in the past or refers to the past. Here are the obvious reasons why this song is a metaphor for being high: A.) "tic-toc, well is running dry" relates to needing a fix B.)"need a shot again, that sweet adrenaline" obviously refers to intravenous drug abuse and since Brent is a recovering heroine addict, this assumption is very likely C.)"dead scared bc im fearless in the head" I interpret as the way hard drug users are constantly testing their limits trying to catch their high D.)"which way is up, when your high is low" is referring to the fact that heroine 'high' is actually a very down, relaxing buzz E.)"bang bang bc the needles in the red" I believe is a metaphor for shooting up (or "banging") F.)"its the love of the chase that created the ride" refers to the known fact that drug abusers are constantly increasing the amount of drugs they do due to tolerance and therefore, are "chasing" that buzz this is just my interpretation, someone else might think I am totally wrong. but I think that is what makes a song a great one-whenever a song relates to many different people in many different ways. |
