| Gotye – Somebody That I Used To Know Lyrics | 4 years ago |

@[rscofield:35916] Had trouble piecing together all of the lyrics into words, so I came here, but I think you nailed it. Also, if you watch the video, it matches this. The man starts out being unpainted - he is free and happy. As he starts talking about the relationship, he becomes enmeshed in the background (the relationship and/or his emotions). The colors are red (anger) and grey (sadness). The girl starts out painted as well, but she is also green (jealousy). She leaves the trap of the relationship, becomes free and unpainted, but he is still trapped in the background of his emotions. I've been here. Pining over a lost relationship that I remembered as being perfect and never moving on. Eventually life goes on and you discover something great, but this song perfectly captures that time. |

| In Flames – Delight and Angers Lyrics | 7 years ago |
|
This is my favorite In Flames song. I never really analyzed it until now, but it's about fighting depression, anxiety, regret and hoping for a savior. First off, here are the correct lyrics: Verse1 Everyday takes figuring out how to live, Sometimes it feels like a mistake, Sometimes its a winners parade, Delight and angers, I guess that's the way it's supposed to be... Chorus Please heal me, I can't sleep Thought I was unbreakable, but this is killing me Call me... everything Make me feel unbreakable, lie and set me free. Verse 2 I feel the fear takes hold Afraid this hell I create is my own Oh calm my franticness, I can't take it anymore This used to be my own world, but now I've lost control Chorus Please heal me, I can't sleep Thought I was unbreakable, but this is killing me, Call me... everything, Make me feel unbreakable, lie and set me free Verse 3 Chasing leftovers, Under the fading sun, Searching for shelter, I feel my time has come End chorus Please heal me, I can't sleep Thought I was unbreakable, but this is killing me, Call me... everything, Make me feel unbreakable, lie and set me free Interpretation: Depression is an everyday struggle. He is figuring out how to live every day. Sometimes it feels like he should just end it. Other times he feels like life is great and "a winners parade." Bipolar depression is like that - extreme highs and extreme lows. Delight = happy, anger = depression. It's the only way he knows how to live life "I guess that's the way it's supposed to be." He can't sleep, because of the anxiety. He once thought he was unbreakable, but the crushing stress is breaking him. He is crying out for a savior to rescue him, someone to tell him everything - tell him he is perfect, tell him how great he is... even if they are lies so he can be set free of his depression. The anxiety is taking over. He creates his own hell of personal anger and anxiety. He wants someone to calm his franticness and tell him there is nothing to worry about. The anxiety is tearing him apart. He used to be confident, but now he has lost control - self doubt takes over. "Chasing leftovers," means he is chasing the past, trying to recapture his former self, but the world has turned and moved on so his former glory is fading. He is crying out for anyone to rescue him (shelter), but feels like his time has almost come to end it. In Flames sings with their typical rage and the instruments range from happy melodic to shredding thrash. Highs and lows. It's an angry, but beautiful song. It makes me think he is angry at the depression and trying to fight it. This song give me strength and hope, because the singer has not given up yet and is still raging on in life, just like In Flames. |
