| Crystal Castles – Black Panther Lyrics | 10 years ago |

I remember listening to this before I could understand what the words were. I was in the car with my family, it was a warm summer day, and I had my head out the car window. The breeze contrasting with the heat was perfect, and all I could smell was the yellow flowers in the fields we were driving past. This song was pplaying on my mp3 player, and it was pure bliss. |

| Daughter – Doing the Right Thing Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
Well, the video to it makes it sound as if the song is about an elderly person with dementia or alzheimers. They are slowly losing themselves and those around them they love as they can't remember who those people are anymore. But not going on the video, to me its about someone who is disillusioned with life. If you think about it, all we really do in life is get a job, get married, reproduce, and die. I think its about someone who is not buying in to all that, and is depressed by it. |

| Fall Out Boy – Centuries Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
Its from the point of view of school shooters. Some legends are told Some turn to dust or to gold But you will remember me Remember me for centuries And just one mistake Is all it will take We'll go down in history Remember me for centuries (Hey yeah, oh hey, hey yeah) Remember me for centuries Lots of school shooters want to be remembered. They don't want to be just another of the countless ordinary anonymous kids there are. They want to be something special. Mummified my teenage dreams No, it's nothing wrong with me The kids are all wrong The stories are off Heavy metal broke my heart 'Mummified my teenage dreams' means that they've given up all of their dreams. All the dreams of being popular, having a boyfriend/girlfriend, etc.. They've just accepted that they can't have that. 'The kids are all wrong the stories all off' means that they believe the kids at school are wrong, as in they don't feel like they fit in. A lot of school shooters say they were bullied or felt left out, and that's what that part means. The kids and there stories about them were wrong. The heavy metal bit is sarcasm, as the Columbine Massacre was blamed on Marilyn Manson by some, and obviously this is ridiculous. Come on, come on and let me in The bruises on your thighs like my fingerprints And this is for tonight I thought that you would feel I never meant for you to fix yourself This bit is about how the shooter had a friend/girlfriend/boyfriend like them, but who got 'better' from feeling the way they did about everything. The shooter feels betrayed, and is angry that their friend fixed themselves and they couldn't. Some legends are told Some turn to dust or to gold But you will remember me Remember me for centuries And just one mistake Is all it will take We'll go down in history Remember me for centuries (Hey yeah, oh hey, hey yeah) Remember me for centuries And I can't stop 'til the whole world knows my name 'Cause I was only born inside my dreams Until you die for me, as long as there is a light My shadow's over you 'cause I am the opposite of amnesia And you're a cherry blossom You're about to bloom You look so pretty, but you're gone so soon This is about how the shooter craves recognition, and feels like they're only relevant in their daydreams. The shadow bit is about the actual shooting, and the amnesia bit is to do with the way your life is supposed to flash before your eyes before you die. The shooter is acknowledging their victims beauty, but knows they will soon be dead. Some legends are told Some turn to dust or to gold But you will remember me Remember me for centuries And just one mistake Is all it will take We'll go down in history Remember me for centuries (Hey yeah, oh hey, hey yeah) Remember me for centuries We've been here forever And here's the frozen proof I could scream forever We are the poisoned youth The shooter knows that kids before them have shot up schools, and kids after them will. The youth of today, yesterday, and tomorrow, have been her forever, in disillusionment, they are the 'poisoned youth'. Some legends are told Some turn to dust or to gold But you will remember me Remember me for centuries And just one mistake Is all it will take We'll go down in history Remember me for centuries (Hey yeah, oh hey, hey yeah) We'll go down in history (hey yeah) Remember me for centuries |

| Lana Del Rey – God Knows I Tried Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
This song is so beautiful. I think its about trying to be happy when you feel like there's no reason to live, and all you want to do is hide in your own little bubble. In the end you know you won't succeed, and you know you'll give up totally, but you try anyway. This song is so beautiful. |

| Halsey – Ghost Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| If anyone is wondering what the whispering at the start of the video in the different language translates to, its this: "when I look upon the past with her, she disappears without me noticing. Or she may not have existed from the start." | |

| Antony and the Johnsons – Her Eyes Are Underneath the Ground Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| I know its not about this, but I feel like its about a boy and his mother. The boy's sister has just committed suicide, and no one knows why, so obviously the boy and his mother are upset. The sister is the only one who knows that the boy is transgender, and wants to be a girl, and the boy does not know if he should tell his mother, as he doesn't want her to feel like he's taking his sister's place, and stealing a flower, as in stealing her feminine identity. In the end though, he chooses the flower, as he knows that's what his sister would want. | |
| PJ Harvey – Legs Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
I think its about someone who is totally in love with this guy, and they want to be with him, and imagine having a life with him and getting married and all that. But when they confront the guy about how they feel, he doesn't feel the same way, so suddenly all of the persons dreams are shattered. They then cut off his legs so that he can't leave, but he eventually ends up dying. It could also be about a couple in a relationship, and the guy is trying to leave but his partner wont let him, and cuts off his legs. |

You know all of that eerie mumbling at the beginning? I think this is what it says: Are from the start from the start from the start The chosen know I know who you Are from the start from the start from the start Oh I'll lie with you, out in the dew From a seed, real love true Regarding a deal, is it really who I love you, is it really you 'Cause I have some news for you |

| My Ruin – American Pyscho Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
I think its based on the book American Psycho. There are lots of references to this, such as: 'this is not an exit', 'my confession means nothing', 'return my videos', and 'abandon all hope ye who enter here.' These are all quotes from book, or they tie in with the book. 'This is not an exit' is the sign Patrick Bateman sees above a door at the end of the book, his excuse to get out of things is that he needs to return some video tapes, at the beginning of the book, the words 'abandon all hope ye who enter here' is written in graffiti, and after Patrick Bateman discusses his crimes at the end, he says that ultimately his confession has meant nothing. |

I love the album Live Through This by Hole. Its helped me through a lot of tough times, and there is literally no bad song on it. Courtney Love's voice is amazing. Fall Out Boy's album From Under The Cork Tree is really good, too, and Crystal Castles' album Crystal Castles III. |

| Lyla Foy – Warning Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
Even though I know this isn't what the song is about, I interpret it as being about me and my friends from my old school. You and I Began slowly You thanked me Like everything's easy And the bed light held out When we first became friends, we didn't hang out all the time straight away, it happened slowly. When we did things for each other, like wait for one another at lunch, or help each other with homework, we'd thank each other, and it was all so easy. I was happy then. You and I Were divided By a flight case Or a floodlight It's painless as it numbs us However, slowly we drifted apart over time. We were divided. I didn't want to be here anymore ( 'flight case' like what you take on an airplane) and I didn't want to be around people anymore ('floodlight' like what lights things up so everyone can see them). It stopped upsetting me when none of them seemed to care that I no longer hung out with them. I tried to tell you Again and again As a warning You never listened And nothing and no one Could keep back My traveling arm I had tried to tell them that I was sinking fast. At first I hinted at it a lot, then I just bluntly told one of my friends what had been going on for me. None of them got the hint, or maybe they did and just didn't care. The friend I told wasn't bothered either. 'And nothing and no one could keep back my traveling arm' I interpret as self harm, because I self harm a lot, and was doing it a lot then as well. You and I When we were thirteen Shared the same dreams Like changing seasons I tricked you with my sad eyes When we were thirteen, around the age we all first met, we all had the same dreams. You know: do well in school, have fun, have good friends, go to college, do what we enjoy, all that. But over time, like 'changing seasons' I became different, and for a while, no one knew, which is how I interpret 'I tricked you with my sad eyes'. You and I You and I Again, I know Lyla Foy doesn't sing a song about me and friends past, but this is just how I interpret the song personally. |

| Phantogram – When I'm Small Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
I'm currently an inpatient in a mental unit for teenagers, and I've recently come across this song. This is how I interpret it: Oh, oh, oh, oh, Oh, oh, oh, oh Lucy's underground She's got a mouth to feed Am I underground Or am I in between In the unit I'm in, there is a girl called Lucy, who I'm guessing is Schizophrenic. I've never accepted that there's something wrong with me mentally, but Lucy has. I interpret the underground bit as being mentally ill. Am I underground? (Am I mentally ill?) Or am I in between? Lucy's underground She's got a mouth to feed Am I underground Or am I in too deep This bit I interpret as, am I actually mentally ill, and the reason why I haven't accepted it is because I'm 'in too deep'? As in I'm too busy living in my head and I've been living like this for so long that I don't see what it looks like from the outside, and how it isn't normal for other people. Show me love You've got your hand on the button now Showin' love You've got your hand on the button now I'm allowed home every weekend on 'leave', and when I have to go back Sunday night, my Mum walks me to the door and presses a button, which basically rings a bell, and then one of the nurses comes to let me in. I interpret this part as how even though I don't see it this way, my Mum is doing what she thinks is best for me by bringing me back there. She is 'showin' love'. Oh, oh, oh, oh, Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Lucy's underground, She's never comin' back Am I still alive Or has the light gone black This bit I interpret as Lucy will maybe be this way for her whole life, because if she does have Schizophrenia (I've never really asked her, but I think she has), then I may be wrong, but I think it's one of those things you have for life. This bit I see as can I ever be 'cured', or am I too far gone to come back? Is the old me still alive, or is she dead, and this is just how I am now? Take me underground Take me all the way Bring me to the fire Throw me in the flame Pretty much all the time I feel very suicidal, so I interpret this part as wanting to die. Not trying to help yourself or anything, but just going along with suicidal thoughts, because its the easier thing to do, and I don't really want to stick around any longer anyway. So, show me love You've got your hands on the button now Showin' love You've got your hand on the button now I'd rather die, I'd rather die, Than to be with you I interpret this bit as I'd rather die than be with myself. My head is an extremely dark place, and I'd rather die, than have to be with me anymore. Oh, oh, oh, oh, Oh, oh, oh, oh, (than to be with you) Oh, oh, oh, oh, Oh, oh, oh, oh, (I'd rather die) Oh, oh, oh, oh, Oh, oh, oh, oh, Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh I know that when Phantogram wrote this song, they definitely didn't write it about me, but this is just my interpretation. |

| The Twilight Sad – That Summer, At Home I Had Become The Invisible Boy Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
The song title, 'That Summer, At Home I Had Become The Invisible Boy', is a line from a short story by Stephen King called 'The Body', and its also in the movie adaptation 'Stand By Me'. The song could be based on either the story or the movie, and it could be from Gordie's point of view about what its like after his brother dies. Or I could just be wrong... |
|
| Sea Oleena – Cold White Sheets/Empty Bed Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
I think this is one of those songs with lyrics that everyone will probably interpret slightly differently. To me, it is about feeling in that bleak in-between place. You've been feeling kind of down and empty for a while, so it's more than just sadness, but it's not bad enough, or been going on long enough to be diagnosed as Depression. It could also be about the onset of Depression. You just don't have the appetite for life anymore, so you feel empty and nothing seems worth talking about or doing. |
|
| Sea Oleena – Shallow Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
This is a beautiful song. I think it is about several different people. The first person has a problem with their self-image, and has to try their hardest not to hate themselves. The moon is a reference to what they want to look like. They could also have a self harm problem, which I inferred from the phrase 'sharpening stone', but it could just be another reference to the mirror. The second person is going through a lot of inner turmoil, and is very angry with themselves and the world. The other person always feels in the shadows of other people, feeling very alone, with no friends, ready to collapse at any moment, not knowing when they will no longer be able to continue with things. The last person seems to have the 'answer' to everything, and is awake in the metaphorical sense. I love this song, and I think the lyrics are just beautiful. |

|
A beautiful song about teenage depression, and subsequently, suicide. This song feels as if it was written for me. |
|
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Today Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
I think this song is about someone who is becoming increasingly sad, and they're acknowledging that compared to how much worse tomorrow is going to be, today is great. Its a very sad/ desperate/hopeless song, that feels very personal to me, and as if it was written for me. I love it. |
|
| You Love Her Coz She's Dead – Mud (feat. Sucker Twin) Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
I think its about being in the city and partying, but the dark side to this. I also think the song hints at taking drugs, ('you can't get bliss like this'), and maybe about prostitution, ('you got romance that comes with the money'). I think that ultimately, its about someone partying/ drinking/ taking drugs to feel happy, and as a form of escapism, but slowly it begins to feel like they're trapped. |
|
| You Love Her Coz She's Dead – Legacy Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
I think its about someone who is going through inner emotional turmoil. 'I tried to die but I died trying', could be saying that they tried to kill themselves, and didn't succeed, but now they feel dead inside. 'The night moves in me', could be about how they feel as if there is darkness inside of them. About how they are going through this alone.'Chemical death zone' could be referring to a chemical imbalance, which could be causing them their turmoil. If you listen to it, and look at the lyrics, it seems to be a song about someone who feels very desperate and alone. |
