| RAC – Let Go Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| My analogy is that the artist is in love with an addict. The drugs make the person a monster but the singer sees their childlike innocence that no one else does. Let go of your fire means let it all out and vent, let your feelings free instead of internalizing and self destructing. Don't be so rough with me means the addict hurts the artist because the addict knows the artist loves them, hence the "you are a gem" meaning the addict is precious, valuable and loved by the artist, as a gem, a beautiful stone with many different angles and colors. They ask how he can love the addict, the artist explains how he consoles the addict when they're most vulnerable "I see the things you can't contain and what they do to you". The addict keeps on a tough exterior but is a sensitive person inside who doesn't know how to deal with their own pain. You're golden, you're pure, words of encouragement to get the addict to quit and realize they're so much more than the addict gives them self credit for. | |
| Gym Class Heroes – The Fighter Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
This song is incredibly inspirational and has so much more deeper meaning than I think people really get or understand. I feel it might even be spirutual. until the referee rings the bell (until life lets up on you) until both your eyes start to swell (literal meaning being punched time and time again, your eyes swell. Second meaning, your eyes swell before you're about to cry; in others words, keep fighting no matter how much pain you feel, emotional, phsyical or otherwise. "give them hell, turn they're heads, gonna live life till we're dead" (Don't back down! Be strong, be confident, don't let their words or their gossip or bullying (whatever it may be) get the best of you, so that whenever they see you, they'll know you're a fighter, you don't take anyone's "B.S." per say, you won't let them define you or make you feel bad about yourself. You're a fighter!) "Give me scars, Give me pain" (continue to hurt me and bring me down, it's only making me stronger) Then they'll say to me , say to me, there's go a fighter (Everyone will know you as someone who goes uneffected by negativity, you're strong, as made an example in the intrudction verse you are a fighter, you are strong! Prove to them you're unbreakable) "if you fall pick yourself up off the floor and when your bones can't take no more, just remember what you're here for, cause I know i'm a damn sure" (This means when you feel exhausted, when you feel you just have no fight left in you, life knocks you down time and time again and you begin feeling helpless, think of the bigger purpose of life. We're not here to please everyone else, I feel this song may have some spiritual meaning behind it, he's saying don't get caught up in what people say or what life throws your way, instead, remeber we are all here for a bigger purpose and reason, our lives are God's master plan and cannot simply be dictated by nay sayers or unfortunate circumstances. At the end of the verse, he's saying he know's the bigger purpose, but he's hoping people listening will get the bigger picture on this verse but even if they don't they can take it as something else that suits their scenerio but he "know's he's a damn sure" meaning he knows there's a bigger purpose, a reason to keep fghting.) I pointed out the parts I found most significant to me, the rest is pretty self explanatory. |

| Elton John – Someone Saved My Life Tonight Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
"Taupin's lyric refers to a time in 1969, before John was a popular musician, when John was engaged to be married to his girlfriend, Linda Woodrow. John and Woodrow were sharing a flat with Taupin in Furlong Road in the East End of London, hence the opening line "When I think of those East End lights." While having serious doubts about the looming marriage, John contemplated suicide. He took refuge in his friends, especially Long John Baldry, who convinced John to abandon his plans to marry in order to salvage and maintain his musical career. As a sign of his respect and gratitude for Baldry, Taupin wrote him into the song as the "someone" in the title, and also as "Sugar Bear".[2] Some radio stations banned or altered the song, due to the use of the words "damn it" in the second verse." The true meaning of the song, from Wikipedia. I first thought this song was in dedication to Princess Diana considering the line "Sitting like a Princess, perched in her electric chair" but it's not. |
