Vanessa Williams – Saved The Best For Last Lyrics 22 years ago
I think the lyrics talk about a situation where the woman (the singer) being in love with a man. The man, in the meantime, sees the woman as a close friend. Meanwhile, he goes out seeing various other women, finding that their relationships don't work out, and that the other women he sees don't really make him happy. Instead, he comes to the woman (the singer) to talk about his feelings, about how all the other women he sees don't really do it for him. Finally, he realizes that he's been looking in the wrong place and that the singer is the best match for him.

Tupac Shakur – Dear Mama Lyrics 22 years ago
I think this song represents what's so great about 2Pac; other rappers are out rapping about how tough they are, about how cool they are, while 2Pac doesn't have a problem in being honest and showing his vulnerabilities. There are a lot of songs that give praise to mothers, but I think is one of the nicest, simply because it's so honest. It doesn't use any euphimisms or similies, it just brings up all the things that our moms have done for us, that we can all relate to.

Eminem – Stan Lyrics 22 years ago
I think that this song is to send a warning out to his fans. Of course we all know that Eminem's next best talent is stirring up controversy. If you listen to the songs on The Marshall Mathers LP, there are many reoccurrences of a message that says to his fans that a lot of the things he says should not be taken seriously, and that he doesn't really mean what he means.

I think this song is that same warning, except he's trying to use an example of what would happen if you take him too seriously. Stan is writing to Eminem about how he takes everything that Eminem says seriously, and Eminem writes back saying that Stan doesn't really understand him and that Stan should seek some help. Finally, we know what happened to Stan. I think the point of the song was to send out a message to his fans to not take everything he says seriously.

Sarah McLachlan – Angel Lyrics 22 years ago
According to Sarah McLachlan, this song is about those who have died from drugs. Drugs aren't mentioned explicitly in the lyrics; it's only mentioned once:
I need some distraction
oh beautiful release
memory seeps from my veins
let me be empty
and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight
I think she's talking about someone who has had a rough day and is looking for something to relieve stress, and turns towards drugs.

I like this song a lot; I think it points out a problem that a lot of us face in society; that feeling of wanting to fit in, to want to accomplish something in life, to want to be a somebody. However, after trying again and again and failing, we give up hope, we try to cover up our mistakes with lies so as to not let other people see our failures:
So tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn
there's vultures and thieves at your back
and the storm keeps on twisting
you keep on building the lie
that you make up for all that you lack

Finally the person tries to escape it all by committing suicide using drugs, and eventually finds peace in heaven.

98 Degrees – Invisible Man Lyrics 23 years ago
I thought this was a really beautiful song and something that most guys are able to relate to. I don't like much of 98 Degrees' music, but this song meant a lot to me.

Richard Marx – At The Beginning Lyrics 23 years ago
I remember hearing either Richard Marx or Donna Lewis say that this song was about, how, in relationships, things are always great at the beginning and after a while, the initial "flare" is lost. This song was about wishing to preserve that "flare".

According to the album notes...

Chantal Kreviazuk – M Lyrics 23 years ago
Does anyone think that the title 'M' refers to the character from James Bond movies? I remember that in Tomorrow Never Dies, M's daughter betrays her, locking her up. Perhaps that's what the lines "Th say there's nothing worse|Thank to let your precious love child|Leave the planet first" refer to.

Mariah Carey – Honey Lyrics 23 years ago
I gotta say that agree with babydaul16 on this... it's written in a way that you can't interpret it sexually unless your mind is a little creative (or dirty) but I think that the sexual interpretation is the most accurate, since I can't interpret it any other way.
