| The Smashing Pumpkins – Annie-Dog Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
so alluring and hideous. shackled to this miserable persona, this oppressing existence, and yet she’s so able, so free and open to inspire. and he loves her. of course he loved her! the idea of her, something like what she is, is what he’s been trying to do all along. he found it. so why look any more? better to destroy the beautiful then create the useless its as sick as suffocating her with his tongue. its as innocent as hiding her shoes. and sooner or later, she'll know. she always knew. so she drags it all to another place. cyclical. i relate to it, and I’m not a prostitute. |

| The Smashing Pumpkins – Soothe Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| An abusive relationship- manipulative, codependent, destructive. They ended it. It was never really over. He's hurt her, he's hurt her so many times...but she goes back. She's hungry for him again. Hungry for familiarity. Hungry for his neediness. He's hungry for her again. Hungry for a remembrance. Hungry for an escape. She convinced he's what's wrong with her. When will she start to sway? When will her entire being start to sway toward his direction? And when will the cycle begin again- that which almost breaks her? And they can't call it a mistake. They miss it when its gone. "I wish you the best in all you attempt..." She's secretly so glad this happened. And now hes gone. She knows this almost broke her. She'll almost take him back. He almost broke her. They'll be back to break each other up. ...cycle goes on... | |

| The Smashing Pumpkins – Galapogos Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Remember how Billy had an awful childhood, full of abandonment and resentment? (listen to "Disarm") I think this refers back to those feelings. "ain't it funny how we pretend we're still a child softly stolen under our blanket skies" Now he's an adult and in a relationship. He still reverts back to his childhood feelings of abandonment even though he is presented with love. He needs to keep his resentment for others, society, the world, and love because its a part of who he is. Its like his security blanket. It is so overwhelming that its like his security sky. "and rescue me from me, and all that i believe" He wants his lover to rescue him from the before mentioned beliefs. "i won't deny the pain i won't deny the change and should i fall from grace here with you will you leave me too?" His past still hurts and he won't deny the pain of that. In contrast, he won't deny the change he feels falling in love with this person. Should he completely revert back to his state of angst and resentment, should he fall out of love, will this person leave him? Will you leave me, just like everyone does? "carve out your heart for keeps in an old oak tree and hold me for goodbyes-and whispered lullabyes and tell me i am still the man i'm supposed to be" Make some kind of commitment to me, show me you love me. All the trappings of love, like holding me and not wanting to say goodbye and whispering goodnight. Reassure me that I'm a good person...I've never believed it before...but I just might believe you. "too late to turn back now, i'm running out of sound and i am changing, changing and if we died right now, this fool you love somehow is here with you" You've changed me so much that I can't revert back to the child I used to be. I'm running out of anger and hatred. Love is changing me. If we were to die right now, I would be with you. I know you're not leaving, and I, in return could not leave you. |

| Atmosphere – Fuck You Lucy Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
This song is absolutely amazing. I don't even like rap music, i hate the way it sounds, and yet the first thing i thought was "oh my god, this is so beautiful." The deepest pain is hating someone you love...being so jaded as to hate love its self. He hates how he can't make himself not be in love with her. She's consumed him entirely: "Fuck you Lucy for defining my existence" My favorite is the stanza that begins with "Gettin' in a million memories just to forget her" and ends with "No, I'm not okay, and I don't know what to do" That's exactly how it feels.....exactly. I would have been more well written but i'm flustered. David, if you read this, thank you for sending me this song. -Jenna |

| Howie Day – Collide Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| My favorite Howie Day song. It has this melancholy sense to it that I just adore. I think its about inexplicably loving someone. They are opposites and are unsure if they truly compliment each other. The relationship is in trouble and he finds that he'll do anything to keep it alive. He realizes hes almost afraid of the emensity of the relationship; "I've found I'm scared to know I'm always on your mind." Yet, this relationship means so much to him that he can't bear to let it die. He can't bear the thought of never seeing her face light up again. Therefore, he'll do follow her where ever she goes. Even though their relationship is screwed up- as most things in the world get some time- he finds that they will always "collide." | |
| Matchbox Twenty – Mad Season Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Rob Thomas said the inspiration for this song was fights and disagreements amongst the band members but it has a deeper meaning for me. I think its about working through a period of depression and feeling like there is no one who can understand what it feels like to be this low. He simply needs someone to comfort him yet everyone acts like that's far too much too ask. It's just a mad season ...also, this song reminds me a lot of PMS | |
| Adam Cohen – Cry Ophelia Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| i fell in love with this song when i heard it on the dawson's creek sound track....then someone told me it was about a trans-gender prostitute. The prostitute theory makes sense based on the lyrics ( To walk these streets and keep from falling....Tryin’ to draw the line between who you are and who you invent) but i think it is simply about a girl. i think the song is about a girl who's just realizing how difficult life in the "real world" is. He who sings the lyrics was once in the same place she was and wants to help her through it but knows the best thing he can do is let her cry. Though i don't think its specifically about Hamlet's Ophelia, i think Cohen chose the name because it is associated with sadness and morbid beauty i adore this song. it reminds me so much of myself... | |
