A Perfect Circle – 3 Libras Lyrics 14 years ago
Thew you the obvious, (HE PLAINLY LOVED HER & SHOWED IT IN EVERY WAY BUT NEVER SAID IT)
And you flew with it on your back, (SHE KNEW BUT SHE IGNORED IT & HIM, JUST GOING ON W/ HER LIFE)
A name in your recollection (THEY KNEW EACH OTHER IN THE PAST & HE'S JUST A NAME TO HER)
Down among a million same (SHE CHALKS HIM UP TO BEING LIKE ANYONE ELSE, HE'S NOT SPECIAL TO HER)

Difficult not to feel a little bit
Disappointed and passed over
When I look right through
To see you naked but oblivious (THIS IS PRETTY OBVIOUS, HE SEES HER FOR HER BEAUTY AND THE TRUE BEAUTY HE KNOWS IN INSIDE HER ALTHOUGH SHE ACTS SHALLOW HE KNOWS THERE'S MORE THERE AND HE'S DISAPPOINTED IN HER ACTIONS. HE'S DISAPPOINTED SHE DOESN'T SEE HOW HE FEELS AND THAT SHE IGNORES IT, ESPECIALLY WHEN HE KNOWS HER SO MUCH MORE DEEPLY THAN OTHERS DO. HE'S ALWAYS THERE FOR HER EVERY WHIM BUT SHE DOESN'T SEE WHY HE DOES EVERYTHING FOR HER, HE FEELS NEGLECTED)

And you don't see me

But I threw you the obvious just to
See if there's more behind the
Eyes of a fallen angel
Eyes of a tragedy (HE TRIED TO LET HER SEE HOW HE FEELS W/OUT TELLING HER TO SEE IF SHE COULD FIGURE IT OUT. HE SEES HER AS A FALLEN ANGEL B/C ALTHOUGH HE'S IN LOVE WITH HER HE'S ANGRY W/ HER AND IS NOTICING THAT SHE'S NOT OPEN TO SEEING HOW HE FEELS ABOUT HER. THE WHOLE THING IS A TRAGEDY)

Here I am expecting just a little bit
Too much from the wounded
But I see, seeing through it all
Seeing through, see you (HE'S NOW THINKING THAT HE SHOULD GIVER HER ANOTHER CHANCE TO SEE HOW HE FEELS B/C SHE'S BEEN WOUNDED AND HURT. HE'S SEES THROUGH HER BEING SHALLOW AND UNKNOWING AND KNOWS THAT SHE HAS TO KNOW HOW HE FEELS. HE SEES HER, ALL THE GOOD IN HER. HER WOUNDS DON'T WAIVER HIS LOVE. HE KNOWS THAT SHE HAS FEELINGS FOR HIM THAT SHE KEEPS HIDDEN.)

Oh well (OH WELL, HE'S GIVEN UP ON HER EVER BEING ABLE TO LOVE HIM. HE'S STILL GONNA LET HER USE HIM B/C HE LIKES THE FACT THAT SHE NEEDS HIM AND EVEN THOUGH IT HURTS HIM, IT GIVES HIM THE CHANCE TO BE W/ HER THE ONLY WAY SHE LETS HIM. OH WELL IF IT HURTS, HE'LL TAKE ALL THE PAIN FOR THE FEW MOMENTS OF HAPPINESS IT GIVES HIM TO SEE HER GLEAM B/C HE'S BEEN THERE FOR HER.)

Apparently nothing
Apparently nothing at all (HE'S REALISED THAT THERE'S NOTHING INNSIDE OF HER, NO HEART. SHE'S EMPTY AND THAT SHE'S ACTUALLY MORE SHALLOW THAN HE KNEW. SHE'S BARE AND SELF CENTERED, ONLY CONCERNED ABOUT HERSELF AND HER ENJOYMENT AND HAPPINESS AND SHE CAN'T THINK ABOUT OTHERS AROUND HER.)

You don't, you don't, you don't see me
You don't, you don't, you don't see me
You don't, you don't, you don't see me
You don't, you don't, you don't see me

You don't see me
You don't
You don't

You don't see me at all (HE'S PLEADING WITH HER INSIDE HIS HEART AND HEAD. SHE DOESN'T SEE HIM AND HE WANTS HER TO SO BAD, HE LONGS FOR HER TO NOTICE HIM AND HIS FEELINGS. LISTEN TO THE WAY MAYNARD SINGS THIS PART... YOU DON'T SEE ME... OVER AND OVER AGAIN, YOU CAN HEAR THE LONGING AND THE EMOTION AND HURT IN HIS VOICE. REALLY, IN THIS HE'S SAYING, SCREAMING OUT TO HER SEE ME!! SEE ME!! PLEASE SEE ME!!)

Matchbox Twenty – Back 2 Good Lyrics 14 years ago
I think it's about 2 people who are in a "secret" relationship. Kinda a friends w/ benefits type thing. They see each other in a bar and know that they could sneak away. People may notice that they're gone but the 2 don't think that everyone put the pieces together, that they're sleeping w/ each other. One has feelings for the other, the one that's speaking these lyrics. "I could say so much but I don't go there cuz I don't want to"... he could tell her his feelings but he doesn't want her to know that he really cares and that it's not all about the sex. But if she's lonely and needs comfort he's up for it b/c he'll take any kind of relationship he can have with her, anything for her company, even just the empty comfort of empty sex. And that basically everyone else thinks and does the same thing, envolves their selves in whatever vices just to seek a little acceptance and comfort. They would all do the same thing but it's best that no one talks about it and keeps it to themselves b/c no one wants to face it. And talking about it would bring the 2's "relationship" to light. Or that's what he thinks, that everyone else would do what he's doing, put in the situation but he doesn't know that for sure, he can't tell if everyone really feels the same. He's trying to justify his actions b/c he knows that it's wrong. Hanging on to something that's not there, being used.

The next verse is trying to convince himself that even though he cares for her that he can pull away from her whenever. He's angry about the relationship and angry w/ himself and he doesn't like the stipulations of the non-relationship. We don't speak in public, you don't have to talk to me. This is
a fake relationship, it's phony, he's trying to say his feelings are phony. And that the other person is getting what they wanted, he's hurt and wants to have room b/c he can't handle seeing her and not holding her. Not showing his feelings. He doesn't know how to make this relationship a real relationship and doesn't know how to get out of just being a sex thing cuz he wants her in his life so bad. And he feels like hes' being judged by everyone around him b/c he thinks they know. He hurts in the long run just to feel pleasure and love and attachment for the moment. Everyone can relate to it in some way, we all have our vices.
