| Junior Boys – FM Lyrics | 3 years ago |
| Am I the o my one that hears the similarities between this song and the song “Goodbye Horses” by Q Lazzarus? I wonder if that’s intentional? Or am I just hearing things? | |

| I think it’s “fist on my plate, swallowed it down” not piss. I could be wrong though. That’s always how I heard it. And could it be “wounds in the mirror waned”? That makes more sense to me. | |
| Pearl Jam – Rearviewmirror Lyrics | 5 years ago |
| I was a teenager in the 90s and this song was my fucking anthem. I grew up in an abusive household, both my parents were physically and emotionally/verbally abusive. Especially my father (I’ve forgiven my mother, as she was just another victim of his abuse). I think this song is not only about physically getting away from an abusive environment, but also about being able to move on from it emotionally. It took me a long time. I’m 41 now and am really just finally freeing myself from the pain of my childhood. I still love this song and feel very empowered every time I listen to it. | |

| Forest Sun – Diamond Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| This song is about a girl her has low self esteem, who doesn't know how great she really is. This song is about me. | |

| @[purplepuffin:211] There is a line where he says, "tonight we'll pretend we're just lovers". I don't think it is about a man and his daughter. | |

| @[morores:210] I agree with your interpretation. My boyfriend is dealing with depression and is considering ending our relationship because he just can't give me the love and affection I need and deserve. I heard this song and it made me think of him. I wish he would get help for his depression, I am willing to go the distance with him. | |

| @[polyres:205] Very short yet thought provoking post. My boyfriend keep shutting me out, and leaves me unfulfilled, but yet I continue to want to try to work it out with him despite the fact he does not give his all like I do. This song came on tonight, and it has spoken to me. Perhaps it is time to let go.... | |

| @[ettamorena:202] Thank you. Yes, he was crazy and stalked me afterwards as well. I had to get a no contact order. It's been three years since he has been forbidden to contact me. We have a child together too, with whom he is not allowed any contact. I still harbor some fear and insecurities in regards to relationships, but I know I am stronger from all that I went through and one day, I will meet someone who will treat me the way I deserve. | |

@[BetsyJane:201] I think the depression theory really applies in regards to these lyrics: Staring at the bottom of your glass Hoping one day you'll make a dream last Maybe one day you'll understand why Everything you touch surely dies Staring at the ceiling in the dark Same old empty feeling in your heart |

| The beauty about really good song lyrics is that people an apply them to all sorts of different situations. I think most can agree that the basic message of this song is that he didn't realize what he had until it was too late. This reminds me of my ex boyfriend. He suffers from depression, he always wants what he can't have. has a grass is greener view on life and is always running from one situation to the next, trying to find happiness. But he never does. He left me once, and realized after a week or so that he wanted me back, I accepted him, because I love him and I accept him for all his flaws, even his depression. He was great for a while, but then he became depressed again and left me a few days ago. This song reminds me of his situation. He can't see how great our relationship is (when not depressed), until he removes himself from the situation. I am not sure how many times I can allow him to do this to me. Until he fixes the issues that cause his depression or fear or self loathing, I don't think he will ever fully commit to me. My heart breaks for him. | |
| Band of Horses – The Funeral Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I just watched the video, and I am wondering if maybe this song refers to a person with self destructive behaviors, and everyone has just given up and is just waiting for the ultimate outcome of this behavior, ie death and a funeral. But I also like gummyoctopus's interpretation, coming up only to hold you under, coming up only to show you wrong, meaning they are going to be the better person in a dispute between two people and they are waiting for the brilliant day that this argument is laid to rest. Simple really. Either way, it's a beautiful song, a beautiful voice. I'd like to marry the lead singer and have his babies, lol.... | |
| Adele – Turning Tables Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| The first time I heard this song, it spoke volumes to me. I feel like it was written for me. I feel very strongly that this is about a psychologically abusive relationship. Close enough to start a war, all that I have is on the floor. The tension is high, she has reached her breaking point and has given all that she has and has nothing left. God only knows what we are fighting for, all that I say, you always say more. Things have gotten so complicated and messy, it's impossible to pinpoint what all the fighting is about, but it doesn't matter what she says, he always has to one up her, he's always right. He controls her, she can no longer breathe under his control and she can't deal with the volatility, his constant flip flopping of emotions, his turning the tables on her to make it her fault. She has left him, and has made sure he cannot get close enough to hurt her, but as messed up as he was with her, he's even more lost without her, but she won't rescue him, because as soon as she does, he will only desert her emotionally, he will give her nothing. She no longer has the love to give that he THINKS that he gave her. He is delusional, cannot see how awful he really is, he is a sociopath or narcissist. She is haunted every time she see's him, but when she does, he's only a ghost of what he once was. She went through hell to get away from him, lost friends, family,almost everything, but no matter what, she will not let him knock her down. She has learned from her mistakes and vows that next time she sees the warning signs, she will be strong and stand on her own two feet, saving herself from ending up in the same situation again. This is my life.... | |
