| The Stylistics – You're A Big Girl now Lyrics | 7 years ago |
| This sounds like a man who is in love with a much younger woman. I think the references to her not being a daddy's little girl anymore are telling of how he may have been an adult when she was still underaged. Maybe he never looked at her romantically until she actually became an adult. Perhaps they both have an interest in each other and the lines "you can love, girl, if you must. You can kiss, girl, if you must." are of him reassuring her that their love, though societally frowned upon, is still legal and permissible because she is of age now." If the lines "Baby, I love you" and "You're a dream come true" weren't said, I might think that it was about a dad or male parental figure giving his daughter his approval of her demonstrating that she is now a woman whereas she was previously sheltered. But those lines to me (I.e the "baby" references) indicate that this is romantic. | |
| Ray – Special Lady Lyrics | 7 years ago |
| This man has got a soft spot for this woman. It seems she came in "out of the blue" or unexpectedly and showed him pure love, passion, and excitement he had never experienced before. It sounds like she a a unique woman with very special qualities. It sounds like it is her inward beauty that shines forth and makes her a woman who stands out. I think maybe at the time she came into his life, he was burdened or down and she came and brightened his life up. She has changed his life for the better and whether she is apart of his life or not, as he said, his life will never be the same. | |
| Citizen Cope – Sideways Lyrics | 7 years ago |
|
I think that these lyrics indicate that he and a woman had a really intense comnection that made it very difficult for him to ignore once they discontinued their interactions with one another. I think at first he blew off or tried to disregard his feelings for the woman and thought that like with most crushes, his feelings would just subside once he was no longer in contact with her. But conversely, he found that his feelings for her did not subside which made him realize that his feelings were deeper than that of what one would have for a crush. He fell in love with her and it probably eats him up because maybe their love is forbidden and he can't have her although he wants her. |

| Billy Joel – And So It Goes Lyrics | 7 years ago |
|
This song is namely about a man who had been hurt in the past before he started dating someone new. The first lines, "In every heart there is a room, a sanctuary safe and strong to heal the wounds from lovers past until a new one comes along" are revealing how he has his guard up or a "sanctuary safe strong" that he uses as a way to protect himself when it comes to the possibility of being hurt by someone else. That is "until a new one comes along" where he tries to let it down. When he talks about cautious tones and the woman with no pretense, he is talking about him being reluctant to be open with her in spite of trying and in spite of her being open and raw with him and expecting him to reciprocate so they can build a bond. In the lines where he talks about "everytime I've held a rose", he is speaking of the him past attempts at being affectionate and romantic and how it always seemed to go south for him. In the lines "if my silence made you leave" and the lines proceeding, he is now reflecting on how he perceives maybe this woman who tried to date him after he had his guard up from being hurt in the past left him because despite her being open and real with him, he was always silent and closed-off. This made it difficult for them to establish a connection and make the relationship official. The rest of the song he is trying to explain to her now that he is ready to open his heart to her and take a chance of facing his fear of having a broken heart should they not work out. Sounds like he really liked her the first time they were interacting but let his fear of getting hurt get in the way. |

Come on folks! Stop leaving stupid comments and actually freaking interpret the lyrics! This is songmeanings.com not "song ratings" or, "share a life story.com". Anywho, this man is has such an inward burning passion for this woman that he desires her intimately, too. It's to the point that it's driving him crazy because she consumes his mind. All he does is think if her. |

At this point there are 127 comments and about 120 of them are talking about everything else except what the lyrics mean when ironically, the name of this website is "songmeanings". Wow. If I came here to get views on what the interpretation of these lyrics are, I get so freaking irritated when I see tons of comments and nearly no interpretations. Anyways, so I'm not the pot calling the kettle black, I will say that I think the lyrics are simply expressing the love a man has had for someone that he (most likely) is married, too. It kind of gives me the feel of an anniversary-like setting where he is reminiscent of all the moments they have shared together starting from when he first saw her "lovely face". Maybe there is even an imminent proposal or he may be speaking on their wedding day at the wedding ceremony while sharing the vows. But either way, I definitely get the feeling that he is expressing a great devotion to her, one you would likely have if you are married, marrying, or intending to be married to this person. In the end of the song he is expressing how he wants to be like the old couple who died within a couple days of each other as a signification that they can't live without each other. That's the kind of love he has for this woman. |

And I meant to add to my interpretation, I think the lines, "When you need the hand of another man, one you really can surrender with, I will wait for you." is not only a hint of hope for them to one day pick back up where left off and actually be together, but I also think these lines tell us that he is speaking to a now married woman about a relationship between the of that could have been that she let others persuade her not to get into. The "hand of another man" to me is saying that she is married and that although she is, he knows that since what they had was so powerful, she is still in love with him which is why she can't fully surrender her heart to the man she is with hence the line , "one you can really surrender with". She knows in her heart that if she hadn't listened to others, it would be him she was married to because he is who she really first fell in love with. Maybe she loves the man she is with but more so settled for him and doesn't have that passion with him that she shared with the one she could have married if she didn't listen to others. I think the lines "There's something there that can't compare with any other" are pretty much saying that. And because this is she case, I think he perceives that they won't last which is why he has hope that they will then be together. Until then, he says "I will wait for you, like I always do." |

I don't think this is a breakup anthem. I think this song is about a love that could of happened, but didn't. I think that they were in the makings of starting a relationship when the woman was being told by other people that she would be a fool for loving him hence the line "And people will always make a lover feel a fool". I think she had a lot of people filling her head with doubts about him or the relationship and how it wouldn't work so she listened to them and then missed out on the opportunity to share a love with someone who really loved her hence the lines "You are far when I could have been your star. You listened to people who scared you to death and from my heart" and the lines, "But you knew I loved you. We could have shown them all. We should have seen love through." I think she knew they were in love and that she was bypassing an opportunity to share a special love that not many people encounter. Because that bond was so special, I think this is why the singer left a hint of hope for them to one day be together hence the lines, "When you need the hand of another man, one you really can surrender with, I will wait for you." Just my take. |

Firstly, I utterly hate when people get on here and proclaim how much they do or don't like the song or implement some other irrelevant remarks instead of actually interpreting the lyrics when interpretation is precisely what this website is for. Anways, so I'm not the pot calling the kettle black, I think this song means that the singer is somehow separated from a lover that he longs to be adjoined to. Either they are forbidden to be together or they were once together and are not any longer due to a breakup. I don't foresee their separation being due to death. I think the lyrics that talk about the sea are in reference to the depth of the sadness he feels being separated from his lover. Perhaps it even metaphorically speaks of the tears he has cried about the separation. Anyways, that's my take. |

I really think that so far, Atman's interpretation is spot on. I think the singer is hesitant about starting a new relationship with someone who he perceives has the ability to love him in a much more mature fashion than his last lover. It's not the new lover who makes him afraid to start a new relationship, it's his experiences with his previous lover who maybe acted like love was more of a fairytale hence the line "love is more than holding hands". Additionally, I think that the reason he believes the previous lover will cry when she discovers that he is with his new lover is because the new lover is either someone they both know or is someone she would never expect him to be with. Maybe it's someone she never imagined he would be with. Kind of like a shocking discovery that your new lover moved on to someone you would never think he would date. Maybe the new lover is not as pretty as she is but has more to offer than she does. Maybe he knows for some reason, the previous lover would think she is a better selection than his new lover because she is prettier than her albeit for him, he is looking at the character of the new woman who he believes would love him better. |

| Kings of Leon – Wait For Me Lyrics | 7 years ago |
| I think there is an important part that some reviewers are overlooking. When he says, "I saw the surprise, the look in your eyes...Gonna be who I am, be who I am", I think that these lines hint more at the woman he is asking to wait for him glaring at him in disapproval for the lifestyle he is leading. Yeah, I understand that there are some credible sources that says he wrote it about a personal experience of someone dealing with alcoholism, but, I think that the central problem is that he is behaving in a manner that is not really himself. The woman who he perhaps loves and who also loves him, knows the real him and that he is not this bad-boy that he is showing himself to be to other people. She sees the real him and he knows that she will not settle for him being someone other than himself. He knows the only way he can be with her is to shed this image he has taken on as this popular bad-boy who drinks and doesn't give a darn about anything other than the booze and fast lifestyle he is leading. In order to shed this image, he has to come to terms with being himself, which also means leaving the fast life and settling down. He is asking her to wait for him while he matures and becomes the man she knows he really is. | |
