| Melissa Etheridge – Come To My Window Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
It's a gay love song and it was a huge gay anthem when it was released in 1994. The lyrics "I don't care what they think/I don't care what they say/What do they know about this love anyway" seals it's meaning. She's saying she doesn't care what straight society thinks anymore and they'll never understand anyway so F them. It was very powerful lyrics for it's time. |

| Melissa Etheridge – Silent Legacy Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
It's about being gay in the 20th century when it was still considered a taboo and shameful thing to be. The lyrics so perfectly capture the agonizing pain of the homosexual while at the same time shattering the age old myths that being gay is a sin. Today, in the positive gay friendly 2010's, this song is rendered irrelevant and moot, and a historical artifact. But to those of us who listened to this in the 1990's, it packed a very powerful punch and was a beacon of light in the darkness of the time. |
