| Oasis – Wonderwall Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
My interpretation is at the bottom, you can skip the story if you want. :] My boyfriend and I met when we were both struggling alot with personal issues. I was extremely depressed and it showed in everything I did. Even when I thought I was happy people would ask me why I was so depressed. I had been diagnosed with PMDD and general anxiety disorder. My boyfriend is bipolar and has always struggled emotionally. He was out on bond for being charged with a felony when we met, and had a drug and alcohol problem. Then we got into a car crash where the car flipped and we're VERY lucky to have not been injured let alone lived through it. He was then charged with DUI and was put in jail. (where he has been for 6 months now for breaking the bond) Since I'm still a minor (I'm 16, he's 18), the cops had to call my parents and tell them what happened so they flipped and tried to press charges (luckily they fell through.) I was then forbidden to see him, so I tried to forget him and just couldn't, my love just grew stronger each day we were apart. We had such a connection. So I wrote to him, and he wrote back, and we're still together. My parents have found out we've been talking, and they disapprove because they think we'll drag one another down because of our pasts.(We really do the opposite!!) But, we've saved eachother! And afterall, he's my wonderwall. . . :] here's my interpretation: -"I dont believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now" (people say he's a psycho criminal, but all I see is beauty. Yeah, he has faults, but we all do, and he's beautiful in every way to me.) -"and all the roads we have to walk are winding. . .and all the lights that light the way are blinding" (It'll be hard because we wont have support of many people, and not many people endeavor in sustaining such a relationship, but we're doing it because we love one another) -"there are many things that I would like to say to you but I don't know how" (we could never fully put into words how we feel for eachother. you cant translate the heart) -"Maybe you're gonna be the one that saves me and afterall you're my wonderwall" (despite societal, family, and many other opinions, our love will save us-and it truly has!!!) -"all the roads that lead to you were winding,and all the lights that light the way are blinding" (it seemed we'd never find our soulmate, but we did!!) |

| Hole – Reasons to Be Beautiful Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I think it has to do with her emotions towards Kurt's suicide. I think frustration with people she was with after Kurt's death influenced the beginning of the song: "Love hangs herself, With the bedsheets in her cell" Also with that particular line I feel like she's saying "She hurts herself in Love (referring to herself 'Courtney Love' and her love for Kurt) by continuing to be with guys who get into bad shit again and again. I remember Courtney saying something about picking bad boyfriends after Kurt's death. Maybe attempting the same thing over & over again expecting different results. I think the song started as frustration with her love life & ended with her pain of Kurt's death. The music in the song sounds that way too. It starts off in an almost angry tone & by the end it has a melancholic tone to it. I agree with that_sullen_girl about Courtney starting out with one topic and it changes. and I agree with ThePersianRose about Courtney quoting Kurt's suicide note. I actually read a speach she made on a tape that was played at some public memorial ceremony after his death and she said in it something like "and don't remember this because it's a fucking lie. It's better to burn out than fade away. God you [Kurt] asshole!" That wasn't word for word. But she was reading part of his suicide note to the public and that was one part she read & commented on. |

| Marcy Playground – Opium Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Blue like water Blue like heaven is all of the time -The drugs make him happy, but the addiction makes him melancholic I'm all right I'm just gagging on all the all right -He's alright from the high but the addiction is causing so many problems in his life. I'm so happy So happy I'm in heaven Yeah heaven -When he's high he doesn't feel the pain the addiction itself causes him. He feels nothing but Euphoria. Oh the season's come for opium -It's time to go get high to dumb the pain Mom...mom Mom...mom -This seems almost like a cry for help. Moms are always there to pick you up when you fall. (most of the time) Maybe this is a cry for help to escape the addiction. Or maybe from the withdrawls from the drug. It also could be the pain he feels. I'm so happy So happy I'm in heaven Yeah heaven -Temporarily distarcted from the pain by the euphoria induced by opium Oh the seizures come from opium -The thing that numbs his pain shakes up his life. Or maybe the withdrawls causing him problems. |

| Blind Melon – No Rain Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I see alot of references to opiates. "and I don't understand why I sleep all day and I start to complain that theres no rain" Specifically this part because opiates make you tired (sleep all day) and rain can be a metaphor for pain, which is numbed by the euphoric effects of opium. I think it could be partially about heroin but mainly about Shannon's emotions. I dunno. He died of a heroin overdose so It could be, but I could be wrong. |

| Silverstein – Giving Up Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| This reminds me of my situation. I fell in love, confessed my feelings, had my trust violated by him as he showed everyone the confession, and he cares more about society than his soul. It wouldn't be normal if we were together by society's standards so he won't show his true feelings. | |

| Correction, I think he's scared to admit it. | |

biggestFAN, I can relate tons. I love this song, not to mention the entire record. Hole is my soul. I can relate with all of their songs. I thinks it's about alot love in general. I am in love, and the one I love doesn't love me. He's too scared "Yeah they really want you, but I do to" Society wants him, but I know he loves me deep down. I don't know if that's creepy or not, but I have a true connection. I am hurt by him, but my heart isn't broken. |

| Hole – Violet Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Nloepe20, it Live through this wasn't a debut record. And that wasn't the only thing you said that was inaccurate. Check your facts before you say things like that because it just makes you sound immature and I'm sure you are educated. I'm not picking on you like others did, I am just bluntly stating that you sound much too intellegent to say things that make you sound so immature. | |
| Hole – Softer, Softest Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
It means opening your soul up to someone and having it taken advantage of, stepped on, misunderstood, manipulated, or taken for granted. I love Courtney's lyrics. "Ive got a blister from toughing everything I see" is my favorite. |
