| Dire Straits – Telegraph Road Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
In my opinion, this song could be used to describe one, or maybe all of three things. The first is the obvious: the "Telegraph Road" as it is called. Starts off a little no-where in the woods, develops more and more into a little industrial town, becomes a large, populated area, then after a while gets entirely abandoned, shut down, and just as deserted as it was beforehand. The second theory that sprang to my mind upon pondering the lyrics a bit more deeply was that it could be a description of a relationship, using the "Telegraph Road" as a metaphor. First, there's nothing. The two in the relationship no not of each other. Then along they come, unpack their stuff, and eventually build a relationship and a home for themselves. They are at the peak of the relationship at the same point that there is heavy traffic on the road. Then, things turn out wrong, problems spring, matters go astray, and the relationship gets abandoned. All the things that they used to do are no longer, indicating the "Sorry, We're Closed" signs. The very last verse seems to add to my theory of it being about a relationship. My third and final theory is that the song explains the course of a human being's life. Once again, starting with nothing but a horny girl and her erect husband. We then find a small baby, who makes himself comfortable in his environment. He keeps growing, expanding his knowledge, and then reaches the peak of his life. Shortly afterwards, things start going downhill, eventually leading to him deserting his life, or more bluntly, dying. Thus concludes the song. And in case you didn't notice, the name of this website is "Song Meanings", not "Post bullshit". I'm sick of the "0|\/|6z53rzZ 7|-|!5 $0|\|6 R0xx34s |\/|Y S0xX3rs" bullshit. Aren't we supposed to be discussing what the song means to us? Not childish, fool-written asscrap with no content. |

| Green Day – Words I Might Have Ate Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
"Tell me the words i might have said That's pumping pressure deep inside my head Was it bad enough to be too late? Just tell me the words i might have ate" Aah, guys. Don't we all shove our feet in our mouths when we're around chicks? I like this song, because it's not really Green Day's stereotype 3-chord rock song. The title describes it pretty well :) |

| Lifehouse – You And Me Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Yesterday on my flight from London to New York, the very helpful United Airlines DJ explained to me that this song is about "being totally in love with someone, but not sure if they feel the same". I feel that I can relate to these lyrics very well, as most of them have applied in my situations before. |

| James Blunt – You're Beautiful Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I don't think much explaining needs to be done as far as the meaning of the lyrics. I'm sure that we can all relate to the experience of spotting someone who you are totally in love with, but deep down inside you know that you will never be with them. | |

| Green Day – Pulling Teeth Lyrics | 20 years ago |

Cleo is wrong. Green Day's songs never have meaning that deep. Insomniac's description seems more real, althought even that is a little wild. I've always thought of it myself as being full of exaggerations and similies. "I'm all busted up Broken bones and nasty cuts Accidents will happen, but this time I won't get up" He isn't literally with broken bones and cuts, but he feels hurt inside. Why? Let's continue and see. "She comes to check on me making sure I'm on my knees After all she's the one who put me in this state" He is in love with her, and she is playing with his feelings. She wants to make sure that he is begging for her love. Then the famous pick up line "It's not my fault I'm in love, you're the one that tripped me" seems to apply to the last line. "Is she ultra-violent ? Is she disturbed ?" Once again, not literally violent and disturbed, but as said earlier, playing hard-to-get. "I better tell her I love her Before she does it all over again Oh God she's killing me" He wants to give up on the 'games' and just tell her he loves her before she starts playing with him again, and the suspense is killing him. "For now I'll lie around Hell, that's all I can really do" Self-explanitory "She takes good care of me Just keep saying me love is true" Very strange two lines, going against the rest of my theory. Not sure what these are doing in there. "Looking out my window fo Someone that passing by No one knows I'm locked in here All I do is cry" He feels locked up, almost within himself, and he wants to look outside to find anyone to tell, because right now nobody knows. Just to throw another theory at you/ |

| Yellowcard – Miles Apart Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I can relate to this song's lyrics quite well. This is also one of YC's best songs, IMHO. | |
| Yellowcard – Life Of A Salesman Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| This is by far one of Yellowcard's lamest songs. I can relate to most of the songs on Ocean Avenue, but this one has absolutely no adult content. Basically, it is a letter of admiration to the father of the lead singer. Come on, he's like 25 years old! I seriously think that Yellowcard made a huge mistake writing this song. I would have prefered another Inside Out or Miles Apart instead of this garbage. | |
| 3 Doors Down – Father's Son Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
"I am not my father's son" in my opinion tells me that the man who f8cked the prostitute knows that he has brought shame to his family's name, and he is trying to disown himself and/or his parents act like they don't know him. ~Fledgehog |

| 3 Doors Down – Landing in London Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
This song reminds me quite a bit of Turn The Page, however I feel that Brad was a bit confused with this song. Did he want to write... 1. A Ballad? 2. A rock hit? 3. A love song 4. A song about travelling 5. A remake of "Turn The Page"? |

| Bon Jovi – Always Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I think that this is one of Bon Jovi's best songs. It has great piano and drum parts, two instruments that I play :p !!! Anyway, this song is really deep, and brings ME close to tears, and I'm a guy... | |
| They Might Be Giants – Experimental Film Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
This is one of the best songs I've heard in a long time. By the way- discovered it on homestar Runner. How cool is that? I agree with the theory of life being an experimental film, both as the song's meaning, and as a real life philiosophy. ~Fledgehog |
