I think this song is about growing up and realizing that you are human and that you don't quite live up to the ideals that society tells you you should. For example, society tells you "Don't care what other people think!" I think this song references that by saying "My names Blurryface and I care what you think." Plus I think Blurryface refers to the fact that he doesn't feel like he is just one person to the world. He is different things to different people, which goes against another rule that society imposes on us which is to have integrity is to be the same to all people. I think he goes on to reminisce about life when he was younger and life was simpler. You could say "I don't care what anyone thinks of me!" and be unique and thrive off of that. As you get older you realize that you can't be so headstrong all the time, because we are just human after all. We care what other people think because we can't always be Superman all the time. |

I think this song is about religion. Ireland has a strong Catholic heritage and so most young people grow up with it as part of their upbringing and heritage, whether for good or bad. Conservative religions are known for having the potential of being cruel, judgmental and lacking in empathy (sometimes, not always, don't get me wrong.) You say Love is a temple Love a higher law Love is a temple Love the higher law You ask me to enter But then you made me crawl And I can't be holding on To what you got When all you got is hurt It's basically saying, "Look you tell me that love is a higher law and that I should follow your teachings, but you don't know how to love. All you know how to do is judge and condemn me. You ask me to join you but then you judge me and put me down (ask me to enter, but then you make me crawl... All you got is hurt.) My 2 cents... |

| Matchbox Twenty – Feel Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| It's about a girl who grew up sheltered and innocent and then moved to a big city. She got caught up in the fast-paced, exciting, dangerous and thrilling world of the big city. She probably broke some people's hearts and made a bunch of mistakes. The crossing of the line refers to the loss of innocence. She crossed that line from sweet girl to crazy party girl and now she can't come back. She can never look at herself in the mirror the same way again because she is no longer that sweet innocent girl who wouldn't harm a fly. While she cannot come back entirely, the question is how does she want to feel? She can let go of her wild and crazy ways and feel like a sweet, loving girl again if she wants to feel that way. Or she can continue to live the fast-paced crazy wild life and feel like a badass. | |

| So far I think you are very right on. It's about a girl who grew up sheltered and innocent and then moved to a big city. She got caught in the fast-paced, exciting, dangerous and thrilling world of the big city. She probably broke some people's hearts and made a bunch of mistakes. The crossing of the line refers to the loss of innocence. She crossed that line from sweet girl to crazy party girl and now she can't come back. She can never look at herself in the mirror the same way again because she is no longer that sweet innocent girl who wouldn't harm a fly. She also cannot come back entirely. But how does she want to feel? She can let go of her wild and crazy ways and feel like a sweet, loving girl again if she wants to feel that way. Or she can continue to live the fast-paced crazy wild life and feel like a badass. | |

To me this song hits me very deeply. I was raised somewhat Catholic, and while we didnt go to church often, as I got older I found myself living a life similar to many Catholics out there. I was very judgmental and thought myself better than everyone else around me. Living in such a way gave me a false sense of confidence because I felt self-righteous and I didn't listen to anyone else's criticisms of me. Thus, I "ruled the world". I pretended like I lived a wholeshole and pure life and I lied to people's faces because I was too afraid to be honest with people for fear that I would be found out as a hippocrit. In fact, I was too afraid to be honest with myself. "Never an honest word." While I was mostly a lonely person inside, once in a while I would receive an approving look from people who also seemed to exemplify conservative values and I felt like I was living a good life because of this. I was like a "missionary in a foreign field" living in California, where religion is not very popular and many people actively reject religion here in fact. That is why an approving look from a conservative person was important to me. This all came crashing down the very first time that I had an actual problem to face in my life, namely the end of my first real relationship. I began to realize that I was a hippocrit and that judging people was a self-defense mechanism and nothing else. "I discovered that my castles stand upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand." And that when I ruled the world. |

| fun. – Carry On Lyrics | 11 years ago |

And I found you with a bottle of wine Your head in the curtains and heart like the fourth of July You swore and said we are not We are not shining stars This I know I never said we are Though I've never been through hell like that I've closed enough windows to know you can never look back If you're lost and alone Or you're sinking like a stone Carry on May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground Carry on ========================================== This song speaks to me and I will tell you why. I have been through this type of thing. When we are young, we are taught that we (people) are perfect creations of God and that life is wonderful and everyone is happy. When we reach adulthood and venture out into the world, we realize there are serious flaws with this teaching. We realize that "we are not shining stars". This is a difficult thing for some people - such as me - to accept. I began to look back on my life and question the actions and decisions I have taken in my past. I was not able to move on until I had accepted the world and myself for what it is and who I am. When I was ready, I was able to "close the window". This song speaks to me because I believe many people out there are living lives that I can learn from. It is a recurring theme in songs that in order to get past a deep pit of despair is to keep moving forward. This song reminds me that my life has not been perfect. Sometimes "my head is on fire" but I have moved past these internal conflicts by simply keeping my head up and moving forward. In other words, I "carry on". |
