| Radical Face – Welcome Home Lyrics | 10 years ago |

I dedicate this to my uncle, my second father. He was a huge part of my childhood and he'll always stay in my heart. This song means a lot to me. Sleep don't visit, so I choke on sun And the days blur into one And the backs of my eyes hum with things I've never done Basically me these past few days. I've been struggling finding sleep at night because I can't stop thinking about all of the things I've never done, my regrets. I never had the chance to tell him how much he really means to me. Sheets are swaying from an old clothesline Like a row of captured ghosts over old dead grass Was never much but we made the most Welcome home Sheets are swaying from an old clothesline, I grew up seeing this at my grandma's place.. This hits me right in the feels. My childhood. Ships are launching from my chest Some have names but most do not If you find one, please let me know what piece I've lost What I'm feeling right now. I'm trying to resist but everything's just too much. I can't control all of these emotions.. fears, pain, regrets, you name it. It would be nice if I find hope again.. All my nightmares escaped my head Bar the door, please don't let them in You were never supposed to leave Now my head's splitting at the seams And I don't know if I can My greatest fear is losing my loved ones.. I never wanted him to leave... Here, beneath my lungs, I feel your thumbs press into my skin again.. I'm still waiting for him to give me a some kind of sign to be honest. Welcome Home means two things for me. 1- Welcome home to me, because after years (I live abroad) I'm finally going to be home.. 2- Welcome home to him, because I know he is where he belongs now. |

| Fountains of Wayne – Sink To The Bottom Lyrics | 10 years ago |

It has been yeeeeeaaaars since the first time I heard this song but it never fails to hit me right in the feels. I don't even know where to start, the instrumental parts, the lyrics, not to mention Chris's melancholic voice.. this song is simply amazing! In my opinion, it's about that particular phase we all go through, you know when everything just seems to be going wrong in life.. when you start comparing your life to others, when it seems like they're all "going somewhere", I mean come on, we all know that feeling, when it feels like everyone around us has it all figured out and then you're just there.. still trying to find yourself.. but by the end of the day, there's something you're certain about.. and that's that you got that one person who you genuinely love and you know they feel the same way about you. “..the ocean is big and blue” → The ocean represents the world, it's beautiful but it's too big (complicated!) and sometimes it can be very overwhelming.. so you get to the point where you “just wanna sink to the bottom” with that person.. You're sinking but you're finding comfort at the same 'cause you know you're sinking with the person you love.. I know, if we put it this way the song sounds very depressing and pessimistic. But you gotta look at the bigger picture of the situation here.. If someone really loves you they would never let you “sink".. they will help you find a way out of whatever the situation you're going through. I really love this song! I want this to be my first dance wedding song! |

| Vance Joy – Red Eye Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
I've been listening to this song for a long while now and I really love it! In my opinion it's about this relationship. It's probably a dysfunctional one. So the song begins with the boy telling us that he's struggling to please the girl. He's trying to read her mind since she won't tell him what she wants and thinks. In the pre-chorus the boy tells us that he's still in the warm and loving arms of this girl but he doesn't really know if he still belongs to her, thus he's checking the name in his collar to see if it has the girl's name. Falling asleep on the red eye emphasizes the fact that the girl is struggling finding her sleep at nights. Probably because she thinks a lot about their relationship/problems. In the second verse, he tells us how thankful he is that the girl is still sticking around, she's still there for him. He's going through a dark time in his life and the girl holding up a candle symbolizes her as his guiding light. In the bridge he's telling the girl to save herself (from him, from their unhealthy relationship) before it's too late. He knows he's hurting the girl somehow. But he obviously can't let go of her, he wants her to stay. So he tells her that it's late therefore they should just have the discussion tomorrow. It's like an excuse so he could still see her by the next day. |

I was like 10 when this song came out.. And man! I can't even explain how strong are the feels I get from this song. It's one of those tracks that will never fail to bring me back to those good old days when I was just this happy kid. Obviously back then I had no idea what the song is about and maybe I still don't know its exact meaning. But to me, this song will always inspire me. In my opinion this song is about finding yourself. It's about when you've finally realized who you are and who you want to be in life. (Which is the girl she's talking about in the song. This girl is beautiful, charismatic, loved, etc.. This girl is who she wants to be. ) And during this wonderful adventure we'll eventually lose some battles and sometimes we'll feel like giving up but then we'll realize how bad it means to us and we start fighting for it again. Whenever I fall off track I just listen to this song and somehow I always end up having this optimistic point of view again, which is an amazing feeling. I swear I'll work hard and make myself proud someday. |

| Dark Dark Dark – Daydreaming Lyrics | 11 years ago |

This song is melancholy but it's very relieving, it's beautiful. Whenever I listen to this song, a series of wonderful and precious memories starts flashing back in my mind..And sometimes, I even start imagining alternate endings to those unpleasant events I've had in life. I start daydreaming. This song gives me hope. I start thinking of a parallel world where everything works out fine in my life, to which I find comfort. It's an astonishing feeling. I want this song to be played at my funeral. |

| The Fray – All At Once Lyrics | 11 years ago |

I love this song. It never gets old and I can totally relate to it. There was this guy I used to know, he's gone since 2012 but I just can't forget him. We never really happened but everyday I ask myself "what if.. " and one of his last words still haunts me.. "Sometimes I think about you. " This song speaks to me. Anyway, let me just get straight to the point. In my opinion this song is about not being able to let go of the past. It's when you struggle so hard to let other people in and then you end up losing them, all because you can't get rid of that someone out of your head. It's when you keep on waiting for someone to come back in your life without realizing it's just a waste of time and you're only missing out on the beauty of life. |

| Taylor Swift – Holy Ground Lyrics | 11 years ago |

This. I feel you. This song reminds me too of a friendship that I used to have. It was supposed to be one of those friendship that you'll tell your grandchildren.. :( We've really been through a lot together.. We were classmates too, so everything was really perfect. Everything was really good, we would never look down. She taught me how to not give a damn about the world.. And "right there where we stood was holy ground". It has been years already since the day that we drifted apart.. And it is sad to think that we did fall apart in the usual way.. It's sad to think that we gave up on our frienship just like that, so easily. And every night I still wish that we could still have a slumber party for the last time, dance around my room and play guitar hero non stop. Have those girl talks and such.. Go shopping together.. Explore new places together.. In short words, rule the world together again. I do miss her a lot but I can't keep on hanging onto impossible things.. I can't keep on living in the past.. And this is what really hurts the most, the fact that I can't accept how things are now. I find it hard to "dance" and enjoy my life without that friendship. I wonder if she ever reminisces our good days together. I wonder if she ever misses me.. :( |
