Spiritualized – Lay It Down Slow Lyrics 7 months ago
I think I put this in the wrong section. Anyway... this song was used in Prison Break. A song meant for the husband, father, brother, uncle, and friend that Michael Scofield was. The lyrics, perfectly suited for him as a structural engineer. He said, "It's the job of a structural engineer to make sure everything he creates is designed to withstand the weight placed upon it." That's what the lyrics mean for him. "Lay it on me." He's speaking as a structure, telling his loved ones that he can withstand the weight placed upon him.

I heard this on The Vampire Diaries. The entire track is from Elena's perspective, and speaks of her physical attraction to Damon.

Throwing Muses – Snakeface Lyrics 1 year ago
This song is mostly focused on sex, but it's just as much about the devil inside. The devil is depicted as a serpent, a snake. You can't be still because idle hands are the devil's plaything, wrapped around your lover.

This song is about losing someone you love. A loss is a loss whether they left your life because the relationship ended or they passed away.

Little Dragon – Twice Lyrics 1 year ago
"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." That's why she says she fell flat on her face but didn't lose. "Tell me where would I go?" This is her way of saying she's staying. This is a love triangle song, and the woman only has feelings for one of them as she's speaking to just one of them.

"I thought I had an answer once" (first man)

"But your random ways swept me along" (second man)

Florence + the Machine – Never Let Me Go Lyrics 2 years ago
It's not "Cathedral where" It's "Cause either way"

This is about a person's inability to live with or without.

Feist – My Moon My Man Lyrics 2 years ago
The second and third line insinuates a man that's loveable to her, but may not be to everyone, so he's changeable according to who he's with. Lambs are kind and gentle. Because he's changeable, he could be the complete opposite: mean and rough. Again, according to who he's with. To her, he's every bit a lamb. He's not abusive to her. Lambs are baby sheep. Sheep make wool. There's your coat. The moon is her care, her coat. He's the one leaving on a high note, and he only has one place to go - on. A reference to his light. A light has nowhere to go but on. Same with up. The moon hangs "up" in the sky. Heart on my sleeve means to show your emotions, to make them visible. That's why the song's out of key again. That's "heart on my sleeve" in the song itself. People are likely to sing/play out of key when they get emotional. There's a lunar calendar like any other calendar, and there are 8 lunar phases. "Take it slow, take it easy on me." She doesn't want him to be in a rush to leave. It's hard to be separated from someone you love. She wants the moon to shed some light on her because he's her man and she wants to feel his warmth. He's her care, her coat. The moon itself is the dirtiest clean. Its surface is covered with huge dark spots. Something is staining the relationship, but it's not necessarily a relationship-ender. The moon is still her man.

Levi Kreis – I Should Go Lyrics 2 years ago
I heard this song on The Vampire Diaries and feel it's a shared soundtrack. The first verse is Damon's and the second is Elena's. It's about someone they're attracted to, and they don't want to act on it. The longer they stay, the more likely they will, so they should go. Ah, too late... Elena kissed him.

Parts of this soundtrack get discussed with Tyler on her birthday. It was meant to be a goodbye kiss.

Martin Solveig – Hello Lyrics 2 years ago
It's not about a guy that won't leave her alone. Not when she clearly states, "I could stick around and get along with you." She's not the kind of girl to get mixed up with him, but she can be convinced, so the girl is keeping her options open.

"Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching for something"

This song would mean something completely different for someone with amnesia. Hard to "look back" if you have nothing to look back on.

Def Leppard – Love Bites Lyrics 3 years ago
This song is about a guy in love with a girl who's in love with someone else. That's why love bites. She'll sleep with him while thinking of someone else, tell lies because she's in love with that someone else. He doesn't wanna touch her too much... he'll only be forced to let her go because she's in love with someone else.

José González – Heartbeats Lyrics 3 years ago
A one-night stand that resulted in pregnancy. For women who have irregular menstrual cycles, ten days is the average wait for a pregnancy test after having unprotected sex because that's the average time for the fertilized egg to travel and implant.

Plumb – Cut Lyrics 4 years ago
It's about being hurt so much that you no longer feel pain. You've adapted. You've become so numb that you feel dead inside. That's why she finds relief when she's cut. For some people, pain lets them know they're alive. That's why they seek it. It's a song of self-harm, regardless the form that harm takes.

Aidan Hawken – Walking Blind (feat. Carina Round) Lyrics 4 years ago
This song is about someone cheating on their partner (or some other issue the couple is faced with), and their choice to either end the relationship or fight for what they have. If they don't admit what they want, the truth remains buried and they essentially walk blind to how the other one feels. You have to know, you have to work it out, otherwise it's not a relationship. It's a lie you tell yourself.

Simon and Garfunkel – The Sound of Silence Lyrics 7 years ago
Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

Something caught them by surprise, made them feel like they were sleeping instead of living. So they sought escape, closed themselves off from the world. Still, that vision weighs their mind.

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

Turning away from the cold and damp of the world, seeking warmth from the street lamp because they don't want the warmth of another's company. They actually prefer to be alone. Eyes are stabbed by the flash because they'd actually grown used to the darkness. The vision that sent them seeking shelter had followed them. They didn't escape it, couldn't escape it no matter how deep into the darkness they went or how long they stood in it.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
No one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

A realization. Those who aren't communicating with each other are no different than those who are sitting in silence, alone. They might as well be.

"Fools" said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence

After coming to this realization, they see no point being in the darkness. So they turn to others who are living in that silence. Wanting to teach them and reach them, there's no point sitting in it alone. Might as well be alone together. But they don't listen, they've grown used to the darkness, found a way to live within it. So this person's words fall silent.

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming

The words of an engine that wants to lead a herd rather than communicate. What's fed through media, so they're no different than those who are sleepwalking through life as if it's always night. Praising it, while lacking real communication with real people.

And the sign said, "The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
And whispered in the sounds of silence

But those who dare talk and actually speak, their words can be found written on subway walls and tenement halls. Those who actually care to listen will seek those words. Those are the people who break the silence with their whisper. And perhaps that whisper will get louder, when the speaker has the courage, and the listener asks them to.

Survivor – The Search Is Over Lyrics 8 years ago
@[Ultimate:24260] Panopticon I actually agree with this comment because it's a power ballad. I'd think differently if it were a different version of the song, but "damn" changes the tone, and in doing that, throws off the rest of the song. They didn't need to rhyme anything, they could've reworded that entire line to avoid it completely.

Aerosmith – Dream On Lyrics 8 years ago
Everyone has their own journy to take in life. Their own struggles. Their own pain. We will age and we will die. That's life, and life takes what's due by our living it. This is about past and present. About our dreams of then and of now. How we're taken, but also taught. How we lose and learn in that loss. Tomorrow is never promised, so treat everyday as another chance until you breathe your last, just make sure your dreams keep breathing so long as you do.

Blue October – Hate Me Lyrics 10 years ago
The beautiful thing isn't the actual meaning behind each song, but the meaning each audience member finds for their own, how they connect to it on a level that can be very therapeutic. I'd rather read comments about how others connect to a song rather than a Googled explanation as to why the band wrote it. That said, I love this song.

Scars, from years of saying no and everyone taking that no as a yes.
Scars that were painful in their creation, but now she's proud of them
because they're part of the reason she is who she is today.

She feels like a god....because of her survival and her strength to fight back.

She's using her pain to write, to attack (and destroy) her enemies through her art. That's what she means by paper girl. She's burning the world with her lyrics and her poetry, and she's passing the flame hoping that you will do the same.
