Annie Lennox – No More "I Love Yous" Lyrics 8 years ago
Well people sorry to burst your bubble but she didn't write the song and it was written by a man. So its not about her being molested.

The video is a mask for the song.

Maybe if you think long and hard you will get what I mean.

Its all an act... An act to seem normal when in fact that Love has reached a plateau in the persons life... To the point that you are young and love easily... But now older you love and lost so much... Maybe its a string of broken hearts or just one loss... But there comes a point to where NOTHING or ANYONE will ever make you feel the same again... and any attempt to fill in the gaps only cheapens the precious memories. So why bother? Is it possible you have loved so much you no longer find a need to really BE with anyone?
The person has forsaken love because you realize that the love you lost can and never will be replaced.. So why bother?
In my case I have already lost nearly everyone I love and the pain is so tremendous that I can not bare to love anyone else because of the inability to lose anymore... Even when this song came out I wanted to forsake love... but my young heart wouldn't let me... its hard when everyone is constantly trying to be with you... till you realize its not you who they love, but the idea of you... They don't actually know you at all... Maybe before I would have gone to the end of the earth for true love... But not now... Cause its not you who needs to prove your love but them...
No more I love you's here..... The language is leaving me in silence...
There is more to life than how much someone can love you...
More so how much love can you give and not expect any in return?
No one tells me they love me anymore... But I love many...

George Michael – Father Figure Lyrics 9 years ago
Alright!! Listen up!! I came here to try help me get a grasp on this song and now I can truly most likely it is probably about 90% chance what I'm about to say is what really happened.
Just because some article has been interpreted as him not coming out till the 90s that doesn't mean even though he slept with women but also slept with men. I read an article explaining it took some time for him to realize he wasn't so much Bi as he was homosexual. I myself have been very close with many many gay men even through the 90s and I want to set it straight that 8 out of 10 were sexually molested or worse. In my experience gay men are the least sexually aggressive and all I knew had zero pedo tendencies. You are probably better off leaving your kid with a gay man than with many others. That's because they most likely were abused and wouldn't do it to others. There is the rare chance that a guy would be into boys but I bet he wouldn't ever admit to being gay and may not even think of himself as gay. When a man sexually abuses a boy whatever is going on in his brain doesn't have anything to do with being gay. Just like any male on female pedo the same thing is going on there. Often pedos will go for any sex.
That being said remember the song is on the album Faith. George was like the Madonna of men. He didn't go as far as she did but he did controversial songs that got a lot of media attention.
But as far as the song goes I believe it is about personal experience and what I find interesting is no one has even mentioned that the older person wasn't him. He was the younger person. Get it? There is a chance that when he refers to "crime" he could be referring to biblical crimes. That could mean homosexuality or even sex without being married, but I am going to explain why I liked the song growing up. Forbidden love. I am female and I will comment on my end of the spectrum. When I was a kid I was adopted and abused by my adopted family. I didn't have anything... and what they say about girls who grow up unloved what you crave more than anything is to be loved. You know what women do to get affection in relationships? Sex. It's well known women have sex to be loved and men give love to have sex. For a girl in my position I wanted out of my situation so subconsciously was attracted to strong male figures. Being abused makes you grow up really quick. There is a part of you that would love to be rescued. The white knight in shining armor comes to rescue me from my tower!! Anyways I was totally in love with one of my teachers who was 10 years older than me. I'm 40 now and stI'll love him. We had a strong energy between us. I wanted him more than I have ever wanted anyone in my life and I'm 40 now. He was the first person who ever took up for me... at the possible cost of his job... I loved him. I know he loved me and it showed very strongly that day. My at the time boyfriend who was in the same class with me and him was being very rude and bitching me out in front of everyone. The forbidden love told my boyfriend off in front of the entire class. It was out of character to show his feelings like that. He asked me to stay after class. God when everyone left and we were alone my heart was beating out of my chest. I loved him so much and after how horrible my life was I would have loved to curl up in his arms. Every cell in my body was screaming that I wanted him but I knew I couldn't. I knew he wouldn't. It was usless to even try. He knew I was in love with him. Everyday he would stand outside of the classroom door waiting for ppl to come and go. When no one would be paying attention I told him how I felt and would tease him about it. I'd ask him out even though I knew he would say no. I would wear things that were attractive just for him. Even breaking the dress code pretty much dressed like the girls with guitars in the music video addicted to love. Tight mini skirts etc. One day I wore that just for him to read his reaction... of course it would seem to most that he wasn't reacting. But it was radiating off of him and I could see the weight of his stare. I walked into the school he didn't say anything to me but walking behind me. I could feel staring, his eyes burning into the back of me. Needless to say I had accomplished my goal and didn't mind being sent home. When I turned 18 I found him in the phone book and called hime and asked him out. That night he said no thanks he didn't date students lol. He later regretted that statement. He remembered that phone call over 20 years later. He became a principal. I ran into him on facebook. I friended him. Not long after he sent a long message asking about me. I found that interesting and before you knew it we were speaking regularly. Well I'm sure you can tell where this is going. Yes we did become close and developed a romantic relationship. We started seeing each other and then 2 months later he died

Nickelback – Savin' Me Lyrics 10 years ago
Wow! I wasn't expecting this many ppl thinking its about anything but God. Its blatantly obvious what it's about... Actually when God would want to get my attention I'd hear this song playing somewhere... I've heard it in doctors offices, grocery stores random placed u wouldn't expect... Somehow the song would always reach me... Hey I've even gotten to hear the elevator music version.….. So anyways here it goes... First I will start off by breaking down the video.
The video begins with a guy stopping him from being hit by a bus... The guy just walks away... This represents God acting through us to do his will... Once he realizes he nearly died he looks around and noticed there were timers on top of every living thing... He is the only person who can see these numbers... He finally realizes what they mean when he sees an elderly lady die while being put into an ambulance... He looks around at everyone's timers still astounded by this... Finally he comes across a lady about to enter her car... He sees her timer going down drastically and realizes she is about to die the closer to her car she gets... He then grabs her just in time to stop her from being crushed... He no longer sees the timers anymore and the ability has been transferred to her just like the ability was transferred to him when the guy stopped him from being hit by a bus... It's a mediphor for how God works miracles through our own actions...

Now let's break down the song: Thee first verse is about a person literally in prison and many prison ppl usually turn to God to repent their sins that landed them there usually wanting to make a change so they don't go to hell and end up back in prison...

2nd verse is about a guy who is so upset about how his life has turned out he is on the brink of suicide... He is begging God to reveal himself in some way as to stop him from jumping off the building and killing himself... He too wants to change his life but wants to know from God if he is valued enough to be saved... These instances doesn't say whether or not God actually saved them... But is more about their desperation that they need some sort of confirmation that they are worthy of Gods love and to help them learn wrong from right and to help them find their purpose in life... They want God to reveall their paths and are looking for a sign that they are worth saving and that God exists and that life is worth living...

Pearl Jam – Garden Lyrics 10 years ago
@[Xena802:4420] Once I was asked by God... Through an angel of course... If you knew you were going to hell would you serve God anyways? If you are a Christian and or believe in God... Ask yourself that question... You know in your heart the true answer and so does God... That will show your true intentions... Because in the end it was never about you and them... It was between you and God.

Pearl Jam – Garden Lyrics 10 years ago
For me... And this is just what it means to me... Its gonna be difficult to explain but I also made a YouTube video featuring this song about the life of an exorcist...
Well... I grew up abused... My parents weren't drunks or drug addicts... But they were crazy... And even more so I believe demons had a hand in what happened to me for a specific reason... My ability to change the world and wanted me to be stopped... For me... This song stands for an agreement I made with God in 2004 to serve him/her no matter what... Doing Gods work... Truely... Is not an easy task I signed up for... I have met all sorts of injustices in the world I believe to show me why the world needs so much help... So I will walk... With my hands bound... Meaning no matter how powerless or how much I will end up suffering even to the point of death I will keep going... With my face blood... Meaning no matter the physical injuries I get... And I have... I will keep going... I will walk with your shadow flag... Meaning not only fighting normal humanity issues of physical abuse but also the abuse of the legal system of my country... Into your garden of stone... Meaning that no matter the consequences... I will stand up for what's right against anything even if it results in my own pain, suffering or even death... Garden of stone is a graveyard... After all is done... And I'm stillstill alone... I won't be taken... They won't need to because I will voluntarily go... Walking with faith into any dangerous situation whether it be while doing an exorcism or standing against abuse... See... So many Christians believe they will go to heaven because they go to church or get baptized... If they say they believe in Jesus.... But why do you think they do that? Out of love of God? Or out of fear of going to Hell? Meaning they are doing it for selfish reasons... Only doing things for themselves... Using God... God wants our love and respect... How are most Christians doing that by that? God can see their true intentions... And in the end I believe that will save or damn them... I believe we should lead through example... How you behave will influence others whether you believe it or not its true... This song can apply to anyone who is standing up for what is good and right no matter what the consequences are... This is what the songs meant to me... So yes I will keep serving God no matter what... I have already suffered greatly for it... I hope that eventually once my work is done I can inspire ppl to make my birthday june 23rd into a national holiday called Good Samaritan day... I believe we should do this everyday but a day dedicated to stopping and helping others as much as possible... Either helping someone randomly needing help you come across and volunteering non profit organizations... My favorite being helping to prevent child abuse and helping women's shelters... Donating money to a good cause... And feeding and helping the homeless....
God Bless,
Geeta Galaway

Florence + the Machine – Never Let Me Go Lyrics 11 years ago
I am very disappointed that so many are saying the song is about suicide.... It seems you think that just because someone is submerged in water they are dying/killing themselves... However many ppl know that water is a metaphor for your emotions. Including the ocean. How smooth or wild the waves are can show the state of emotions including its clarity... This song will never mean suicide to me unless I hear it from the writer herself. To me obviously the song is about emotions and surrendering to them. She is comparing the water or ocean to being a cathedral... Finding it so powerful its religious and moving. I think it IS a love song but if its a person or God I am unsure... Maybe its a bit of both. Either way the emotions are crushing, breaking and washing over her. I am thinking this could be about God because how she says for a sinner like me. Also water is used to baptize ppl... To make you pure. The devotion can easily be thought of to be for God or a person. Maybe she found God through someone or feels as though God lead her to the person she finally needed in her life. She says "The arms of the ocean delivered me". Meaning the arms of God/heaven something holy... Maybe she was delivered through baptism... Which makes a lot of sense... She is saying for a sinner like me... That even someone who has sinned a great deal can still be loved by God and forgiven and redeemed... This song can easily be very descriptive of someone depicting how they felt when being baptized... How you know for sure its not about suicide? She isn't giving up (which is what suicide is) She is giving in... to God surrendering to him.

Snow Patrol – Run Lyrics 11 years ago
For me the song is about my bf who died. I have been trying to move on with my life for months. It will be a year august 2nd. Anyways for me he is saying these things to me because I have been able to feel him/ hear him... I dream about him and sometimes he communicates with me through songs. He was my teacher in Jr high. I always was in love with him. Later on in my life I found him on Facebook. We started talking all the time. He was married but in a dead relationship. We tried to fight the urge to be together. He had promised his dad just before he died he would stay with his wife for her kids (that's not his)... Because of this promise it kept him from being with me. We got together and such and just before he died we were building up to him giving in and finally following his heart. So since he has died he has been with me... Because he couldn't in life. A couple days ago he had me hear this song as a message from him. There is a little more to the story but when he sings... Ill sing it one last time for you. But then we really have to go.... I hope not but in a couple days is the year anniversary of his death. I hope it doesn't mean he is going to leave me... But it may... Light up, light up.. As if u have a choice. Means to me that because I am pregnant now with my current Bf's baby it's like I don't have a choice but to be positive... Even if u can not hear my voice... I'll be right beside u dear.... Obviously he has been beside me all along this whole year... The rest is pretty self explanatory. I know well make it anywhere away from here... Like we would have made it together if we had the chance... And as we say our long goodbyes... That's what this year has been... Even if it's just for a few days... Making up for all this mess.... He is trying to make up for the time we didn't get to have together. Now he regrets his decision to not leave his wife sooner and he is hanging around after death to make up for his mistake. I can't wait to see him again. I miss and love you Jim and I hope you stay around as long as u like.
