Shinedown – Son of Sam Lyrics 15 years ago
I agree with the war in Iraq meaning behind the song. But I noticed a line that caught my interest:

"And I will catch you
But who might break the fall?"

I feel it's like he'll catch the person, but he's going to be falling as well and needs someone at the bottom to break the fall. Just an idea.

Against Me! – Thrash Unreal Lyrics 15 years ago
So I've been really curious as to what the title means. The song itself is obvious and helped by the comments here, but what exactly does Thrash Unreal mean?

Shinedown – Call Me Lyrics 15 years ago
shiner4life, I can easily see this song being about what you say. But as for releasing an acoustic, I'd find it hard to do as it's currently a piano/orchestral string song. Heh, maybe release an electric version.

Ashley Tisdale – Never Gonna Give You Up Lyrics 16 years ago
These don't belong here. If a cover is worth it, sure. But she ruined it with stupid Disney beats.

The Mars Volta – Cygnus...Vismund Cygnus Lyrics 16 years ago
On the topic of the band name (just to throw another thought into the process), people should remember or learn that the "volta" is also the point in a poem (usually a sonnet) where the mood changes. For example, in many Shakespearian sonnets he'll talk about the love of a woman and then in the last two lines talk about how she leaves. Those lines are the Volta.

I think that could be a factor in the name as well.

Madina Lake – Morning Sadness Lyrics 16 years ago
I was just thinking about this. Has anyone noticed that he sings "Have you met *your* god?" Almost as if it's a God that he doesn't believe in. As if they were athiest, and their mother always was religious toward them. So when she died, they don't know what to think and are hoping that she did meet who she always believed in. I personally think that one line makes the song have a lot of extra meaning.

Coheed and Cambria – The End Complete I: The Fall of House Atlantic Lyrics 16 years ago
Well it's not instrumental. But it is just repeating "No, no, no, no, no, no, no." And while I agree that the greatest title on the album could have had greater lyrics, it is pretty chilling.

Breaking Benjamin – Evil Angel Lyrics 16 years ago
I'd just like to say how amazing it is when he sings "Put me to sleep evil angel..."

All of a sudden the song just fills with grandeur. I love it.

Nine Inch Nails – Head Like a Hole Lyrics 16 years ago
AFI's cover wasn't that bad, actually.

I can't contribute a meaning different from what's been mentioned, but I can just say that this is a powerful song. Makes me wanna hit someone.

DMX – Where The Hood At? Lyrics 16 years ago
I do hate how homophobic it is. And I don't really like rap, especially not this kind. But it's very catchy, especially the chorus. I'll give it that.

The Smashing Pumpkins – Landslide (Fleetwood Mac cover) Lyrics 17 years ago
I, along with some of the other people who posted, feel that this song is more powerful and moving than the original. The original is still the original, and I usually hate saying it, but to me this IS better.

Now, whether because it's me or because so many of the songs I listen to have undertones of this, I can almost see this as a story of a life of love, a narrative even going from the beginning to the end. And while I know it's been said otherwise, I take this into a different view to satisfy myself.

At the beginning, the narrator climbs a mountain (figuratively) and turns around to see what he's gone through. Seeing his reflection is seeing what he's accomplished, and the "landslide", or a stormy part of his life/love hides that just like a landslide would hide a reflection in snow.

I picture the speaker turning back, away from the landslide, and into the sky to ask what love is. To basically ask if he can continue forward, higher than the mountain that he's climbed and ascend to a point where he doesn't need to climb any more mountains/work through the difficulties that love (especially at a young age) brings.

When he says that he's been afraid of changing, it's a recollection on the times that he's gone through, and how each time something changed (a relationship ending, for example) he was afraid to let it go to the past. He has already planned his life around the person he is with, and doesn't want to let it go. But time heals all wounds, as someone said in an earlier comment, and sooner he will become bolder and able to understand this more. Perhaps at the point he is now on top of this "mountain."
(As a side note, "Even children get older/and I'm gettin' older too" is perhaps one of the most memorable lines I've ever heard)

At the end he looks back to the reflection again, seeing all the rough times hide his reflections, the memories that are worth reflecting on, but he still looks back because a past can never leave, even if he were to move even higher than the figurative mountain.

This is just my interpretation, and even if Fleetwood Mac had a different meaning, this relates to me and that's what a song is meant to do, right? I love this song, I love this cover, and thanks if you read this. Heh.

Bullet for My Valentine – All These Things I Hate (Revolve Around Me) Lyrics 17 years ago
If you've ever seen the video, he does this little head rocking as he sings some of the verses... it's pretty cool.
