| Haim – Night So Long Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
This song is comforting to me but to some I know it is very scary. Some do not want to evoke any feelings of regret or sadness. To me, I feel safe right now. I have my dog next to me who I love dearly. I lost a pet and others I loved. I broke up with some women who I loved deeply, but who did not love me back. I have let go again and again. I am passionate by nature. I use to be attached easily. Fearing abandonment. I've worked on that and recovered greatly. Some reason I listen to this song tonight again and again. Why? Maybe the memories are never gone "until your memory is gone" Because of my addicted nature, I can hear something sad, lonely, fearful again and again without reacting. Is this song a bump? Is this song like a fix? Like a drug? Truth is I don't know the meaning of the song because it seems pretty obvious, but Haim is beautifully and simply complex. As a woman, I can appreciate their emotional complexities. Anyway even though it is obviously a sad song, I think it is comforting, honest, and terribly good. |

| Phil Collins – Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now) Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
I think it's about two people who are finding their true selves on a their own spiritual journey. Facing letting go can be okay if one knows him/herself. One person, maybe younger, is planning to move out of the state to maybe escape the life he/she once thought was real. The other person knows it's absolutely true to wait for him/her even though it is against all odds. But, this person loves the one moving unconditionally, because he/she knows that he/she can't control the other person. I don't like that Phil says there is an empty space though.. I think that if Phil really wanted to be happy then he would not say there's an empty space inside, but that is just me. |
