Linkin Park – Given Up Lyrics 10 years ago
"Wake in a sweat again.
Another day's been laid to waste, in my disgrace
Stuck in my head again, feels like I'll never leave this place, there's no escape! I'm my own worst enemy"

For me this song is about being in a sort of depression. You wake up from terrible nightmares which is a side effect and you feel like your days are wasted your surrounded by bad thoughts you literally can't escape them. The thoughts in your head are taunting you, making you paranoid, making you act out and you feel like there's no way to stop them. The enemy in all this is your mind because you think the worst all the time and it makes you incredibly lonely.

"I've given up!
I'm sick of feeling, is there nothing you can say?
Take this all away, I'm suffocating.
Tell me what the fuck is wrong with me?"

Eventually you give up, can't take the loneliness anymore. Nothing you do makes anything better so you give up on yourself, your sick of feeling down. You feel like no one cares but your desperate for someone to take those thoughts away, to help because your suffocating. Your wondering yourself what is wrong with you that makes people turn a blind eye to your suffering.

"I don't know what to take
Thought I was focused, but I'm scared
I'm not prepared, I hyperventilate
Looking for help somehow, somewhere
And no one cares, I'm my own worst enemy"

You think you can control yourself, medication, anti depressants to get through this and stay focused but your scared because the dark thoughts are always lingering, are there to turn your mood when your least expecting and your not prepared for this. Your desperate to confide in someone to get help but you feel like no one cares. Truth is your mind is telling you no one cares when most likely they do. Once again with the own worst enemy.

"God!

Put me out of my misery
Put me out of my misery
Put me out of my...
Put me out of my fucking misery!"

This is the total escape, your white flag the frustration, the desperation to escape your depression and your thoughts eventually lead you to think about suicide. "Put me out of my misery!!!!" Asking God to give you relief and end your life, stop your suffering. Cant take the loneliness, thoughts, bad experiences haunting you. You just wanna give up.

I know this probably isn't the correct interpretation but as a person who went through depression I feel like this counters my feelings exactly while I was going through that. The feeling that no one cares, haunted by bad thoughts and feelings, wanting to give up and be put outta my misery. Please no haters! lol just an idea. :)

Cher Lloyd – Want U Back Lyrics 10 years ago
Now I don't mind this song, its very catchy but for me its a guilty pleasure. Now the meaning behind this song I resent. I mean come on she blows a guy off saying meh I need an upgrade. Yer dumped! But instead of being heartbroken and crying for her back he just moves on to another woman."I broke it off thinking you'd be crying, now I feel like shit looking at you flying" Good for you man! However that obviously hurts her pride because suddenly she's jealous of this other woman, basically being catty about her in her 'ugly jeans' and letting it be known that she had this guy first and did everything first before her. Bit childish really. Annnnnd she wants him back. But hes obviously like errm no. As if he would really, she dumped him over a pathetic reason. The reason I like this song is because there's actually a lot of women like this. I know quite a lot who dump the guy thinking they are being clever then throwing a fit because the guy isn't pining after her and she doesn't want anyone else to have him. You do get those kind of pathetic women that's what makes the songs so funny.
