Breaking Benjamin – Ashes of Eden Lyrics 7 years ago
My grandfather is passing very soon, it's only a matter of time. What a coincidence I find this song.

This to me is a song about denying and further accepting the death of a loved one, as it is for me.

Linkin Park – The Messenger Lyrics 8 years ago
Seeing as the album deals with the horror war can give, as well as atomic bombs, and seeing as it is the last track, I believe this song is a warning. Everything discussed in the album is what COULD happen, this song is a red flag for what is to come.

The Band Perry – Independence Lyrics 8 years ago
@[star:9360] tripper What's the meaning? It probably isn't this, but I like think that it's about runaway slaves, mainly because of the chorus and part of the second verse.

I've gotta get gone, gone, gone, shootin like a gun, a gun, a gun,
Skippin like a stone, stone, stone, far as I can run to where FREEDOM IS FREE
-The capitalized part is where it's spelled for me there. it's like "I have to get to where there is REALLY freedom."

and the second verse:

Leavin' with question marks and momma's blessin - narrator isn't sure whether he/she should do this or not, for great punishment would await if caught.

Most of my friends will live and die in this zip code - Most of the narrator's friends will live a slave, and die a slave - in the same place to the same master.

Egypt Central – White Rabbit Lyrics 8 years ago
This song sounds a lot like two things to me: Addiction in any way shape or form, or the Government. I think it's the latter personally. If you want more info, please read on. If not, then stop?

Your magic white rabbit
Has left it's writing on the wall
We follow like Alice
And just keep diving down the hole
~ the "White Rabbit" is the government. The 'writing on the wall' are the directions it gives us. Plug it in, and you get "Your magic, the government, has told us what to do, we follow like Alice, and just keep diving down the hole" which says we blindly follow the government and do what they say.

You can't fix your broken promise
Our ties have come undone
I will not be used to be battered and abused
It's the reason why I choose to cut my losses
Your lies fool no one
~The government has broken many promises, they can't make up for it. The gov. and I are "not cool" and won't take this abuse anymore. You can't fool anyone.

Your magic white rabbit
Your white room straight jacket
~A straight jacket constraints you and gives you no control - the narrator is basically saying "We're taking control - you can't abuse us any more. You're powerless."

Your magic white rabbit
Has left it's writing on the wall
We follow like Alice
And just keep diving down the hole
We're falling and we're losing control
Your pulling us and dragging us down this dead end road
We follow like Alice
And just keep diving down the hole
~Same as intro

You can't offer your poison to me
In your kingdom of filth
~the poison represents the lies that the gov claims as truthful reality. Obviously, the 'Kingdom Of Filth' represents the nation
White Rabbit
Straight jacket
~same as before

I won't be pushed aside
I will be heard
I will get what I want
What I deserve
~ This is saying "I won't let you control my life, and I won't let you persuade me. I will get what I want, and what I deserve. Liberty."

Linkin Park – Waiting For The End Lyrics 8 years ago
Since this is from A Thousand Suns, and has to do with nuclear war - I think this song is about the happening of a nuclear war, and is the 'story' of a man who is going to die very soon. He can't do anything, he's... waiting for the end.

This is not the end
This is not the beginning,
Just a voice like a riot
Rocking every revision
But you listen to the tone
And the violent rhythm
And though the words sound steady
Something empty's within 'em

~Inspirational! It's stating hope - you can survive this! You can make it through! But... it states at the end... "And though the words sound steady something empty's within em" it says those are just words. It basically says "You're fucked."

We say Yeah!
With fists flying up in the air
Like we're holding onto something
That's invisible there,
'Cause we're living at the mercy of
The pain and the fear
Until we get, forget it,
Let it all disappear.

~This one is actually kind of inspirational and depressing at the same time. It's saying that even through disaster, it's okay. it'll all be over soon (Until we get it, forget it, let it all disappear.)

Waiting for the end to come
Wishing I had strength to stand
This is not what I had planned
It's out of my control

~This is where the man comes in - he's injured. He can't escape death, so he's waiting for it to take him. He wants to move on, he wants to survive. He never planned for any of this to happen - it just happened, but it's out of his hands.

Flying at the speed of light
Thoughts we're spinning in my head
So many things were left unsaid
It's hard to let you go

~"Flying at the speed of light, thoughts we're spinning in my head" This represents his memories. His life flashing before his eyes quickly, thoughts and memories getting shown. "So many things were left unsaid, it's hard to let you go." This says that there were many things left for him to do, that he wanted to do. It's hard to let his hopes and his memories go.

(Oh) I know what it takes to move on,
I know how it feels to lie,
All I wanna do
Is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven't got

~He knows what it takes to move on and he knows how it feels to lie(no duh.), so he's gonna be upfront with it. All he wants to do is this - instead of living in this suffering he's going through right now, he wants to trade it for something else. A better life. The only thing keeping him going at the moment is what he doesn't have right now - love, healing, life. He wants that so bad that he's living for a bit longer.

Sitting in an empty room
Trying to forget the past
This was never meant to last,
I wish it wasn't so

~This one was a bit tricky for me to analyze, but I see the 'empty room' as the room he's in as he's dying. He's contemplating his life and trying to forget what just happened. He wish he didn't have to do so.

(Oh) I know what it takes to move on,

I know how it feels to lie,
All I wanna do
Is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven't got

~Rinse and repeat.

Yeah, yeah
What was left when that fire was gone?
I thought it felt right but that right was wrong

~He thought he was doing a good thing - a good life, a good person - but he guesses otherwise, or else this wouldn't have happened.

All caught up in the eye of the storm
And trying to figure out what it's like moving on

~The eye of a hurricane(or the eye of a storm). If you are in the eye of a hurricane, you are fucked. It's very calm so it feels otherwise, but soon it hits you. That's what he's feeling - he knows he's fucked and is trying to figure out what will happen when he dies.

And I don't even know what kind of things I've said
My mouth kept moving and my mind went dead

~He doesn't know what happened, or even remember the things he said before this happened.

So, picking up the pieces, now where to begin?
The hardest part of ending is starting again!

~He's still trying to figure out what happened - and how quick it was. He realizes that the hardest part of dying is starting again(possibly he's feeling a 'reborn' type thing.)


All I wanna do
Is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven't got

~Rinse and repeat.

This is not the end
This is not the beginning,
Just a voice like a riot
Rocking every revision
But you listen to the tone
And the violent rhythm
Though the words sound steady
Something empty's within 'em
(Holding on to what I haven't got)

~Rinse and repeat.

We say Yeah!
With fists flying up in the air
Like we're holding onto something
That's invisible there,
'Cause we're living at the mercy of
The pain and the fear
Until we get it, forget it,
Let it all disappear
(Holding on to what I haven't got!)

~Rinse and repeat

I really love this song and it's message it brings - nuclear war would suck.

@[marcshoe:7751] While I do agree with the meaning of this song that you brought - Kid Rock recorded a song about listening to Sweet Home Alabama, which used pretty much the same instrumental as this song. Sweet Home Alabama came first, as it was released in 1974, this song in 1978.

Also, I do like Kid Rock, but he definitely isn't the greatest artist of all time, not by any chance.

Sarah McLachlan – When She Loved Me Lyrics 8 years ago
What a great song. Even if it's about a toy, you can put it in a real life way because it sounds like a break up kind of.

When somebody loved me
Everything was beautiful
Every hour spent together
Lives within my heart - every memory the person experienced he will remember and cherish.

And when she was sad
I was there to dry her tears
And when was happy so was I
When she loved me - The person would comfort the other.

Through the summer and the fall
We had each other that was all
Just she and I together
Like it was meant to be - They loved each other no matter what, as if it was destiny.

So the years went by
I stayed the same
But she began to drift away
I was left alone
Still I waited for the day
When she'd say I will always love you - The other person started to change and become more distant, and eventually left the person. The person was broken and left alone, waiting for a phone call or message or email or any way of communication from her to get back together.

Lonely and forgotten
Never thought she'd look my way
And she smiled at me and held me
Just like she use to do
Like she loved me
When she loved me - they eventually got back into focus and started talking again.


When somebody loved me
Everything was beautiful
Every hour spent together
Lives within my heart
When she loved me - However, they didn't get back together again, because it said WHEN she loved me, not when she loves me. There is no way to tell that they got back together other than the last part, so it's safe to assume they didn't get back together.

Gorillaz – Clint Eastwood Lyrics 8 years ago
I think this song is about drug addiction - I know, it's kind of a cliche to think of a song as drug meanings, but... let me explain.

I ain't happy, im feelin' glad, I got sunshine in a bag - He's probably high or something when he says "I ain't happy, im feelin glad", and 'Sunshine' is usually seen as a metaphor for a new beginning or a happy thing, so he's got himself what he sees as something that makes him happy in his 'bag'.

Im useless, but not for long - He think's he is useless and a terrible person normally, but he's going to take his drugs which transforms him into something he sees as 'useful'

(Not sure what the "The future is comin' on" is, might be saying that if he keeps the drugs up, a bad future is coming.)

(The verses are sang from the drug's viewpoint.)

Finally, someone let me out of my cage - the drug is now getting it's chance to 'latch on' like a parasite

Now, time for me is nothin' cuz im countin no age - he'll always be there telling you what to do, he has no time, he's always there.

Now I couldn't be there, now you shouldn't be scared - trying to lure the person into a false sense of security, saying that drugs aren't dangerous, only to 'control' the victim.

Im good at repairs, and im under each snare - See above, he's saying he can repair the broken person that's thinking about drugs.

Intangible, bet you didn't think so I command you to, panoramic view, look i'll make it all manageable - Is saying that 'bet you didn't think about the negative's' or something like that, and he's controlling the user to look around in a panoramic view, and is now saying he'll make his life easier.

Pick and choose, sit and lose - Pick your drug, use it, sit down and lose your life.

All you different crews, chicks and dudes, who you think is really kickin' tunes? - saying drugs are available for everyone, and is asking who's REALLY running your life here?

Picture you gettin' down in a picture tube - A picture tube is what helps shows the pictures on a television, so he's saying 'Picture you thinking and running your life'

Like you lit the fuse - Drug is basically saying you started your life, im going to control the rest of it

You think it's fictional? Mystical? Maybe, Spiritual, hearable, what appears in you is a clearer view cuz your too crazy - The person is denying drugs, and the drug is trying to again lure him into a false sense of security.

Lifeless, to know the definition of what life is - The way the rapper said this line was as if that was the definition for "lifeless". The drug is telling the addict what lifeless means, or what the drug thinks it means. If you know what life is, you're lifeless, the drug is saying.

Priceless, for you because I put you on the hype shit - He's saying that drug's are priceless and precious, and you should thank him for 'putting him on the hype shit', the 'hype shit' being drugs

Gunsmokin, righteous with one token - saying all it takes is one to start the addiction off

Psychic among those, possess you with one go - Once again saying all it takes is one bit to start an addiction.


I could go on, but you get the jist of it.

Train – Meet Virginia Lyrics 9 years ago
I think this song is about a woman that commits suicide.

My reason why I think this? I could go on for hours, but most simply are these lines.


"Well she wants to be the queen and
Then she thinks about her scene
Well she wants to live her life
Then she thinks about her life
Pulls her hair back as she screams
I don't really wanna be the queen
I, I don't really wanna be the queen
I, I don't really wanna be the queen
I, I don't really wanna live this"

She thinks she wants to rule all or to be a royal figure, but she thinks about all the people she'd have to please. Then she starts thinking about living her life. She thinks her situation is too stressful or bad to handle. So, either she suicides by tugging her hair and falling to her death, which is unlikely, if she wanted to fall to her death she would have jumped or just fell, OR she just suicides in general.

Of course, this is just what I think it is.

A Perfect Circle – Pet Lyrics 9 years ago
I know this meaning isn't real, but it's my own interpretation and I like to think it's real, so please respect that :)

I take this song as a story about the World Wars, and the kid is being told to "Pay no mind to the rabble" and Rabble can mean a gang, mob, things like that. I think they are in an underground bunker and the parent is telling the child to go back to sleep, and to pay no mind to the masses outside, the gunshots and explosions.

Rihanna – Disturbia Lyrics 10 years ago
I think, and i hate to be this guy, but I think this is something about the devil/Illuminati. Why? Well, lets take a look.
Lets say something too, you know the beginning? The thing that sounds like a machine turning on? It sounds like a scream, as if someone or something is about to attack...

Bum bum be dum, bum bum be dum dum.
^What do you think this is? Catchy Scat? Or something else? Well, what is a bum? a clueless, idiot, or even a hobo. so, lets review it again

"Clueless idiot, you are a clueless idiot" repeated, but im going with clueless idiot.

It's a thief in the night to come and grab you
^Talking about the devil, and she refers to a "Thief" by saying he is very sneaky, and quiet, you wont suspect him.

It can creep up inside you and consume you
^Same as above

Turn on your brake lights, your in the city of wonder, ain't gonna play nice
^This means "Looks can be deceiving" The "City of wonder" would be, either Hell, or the "City" is a metaphor, saying that you seem fine/ok, but it wont be good during the end.

Watch out you might just go under
^Saying sometimes the devil works faster than expected

Better think twice, your train of thought will be altered
^I dont really know this one, but I think its saying the devil will play with your mind, so dont let anyone tricking you into the devil is a good thing or something.

So if you must falter, be wise
^This means If you want, try to get rid of it, but remember, if it gets in, it wont come out.

Your mind is in disturbia, it's like the darkness is light
^this means that Your mind is thinking that evil is good, Darkness=The devil/bad, and light = God/good.

Am I scaring you tonight?
^She is speaking for the devil, how he only wants fear from you

I gotta get out, oh, figure this shit out, It's too close to comfort
^this is saying that you are trying to figure out what is happening, because you dont know the devil is taking over you(its a thief in the night thing, blah blah blah), and you think "This is too good to be true" because he is tricking you

Release me from this curse im in, trying to remain tame but im struggling, Think im gonna...
^This is saying "Let me out of your twisted tricks" as you try to escape.

I don't usually believe in the "Illuminati" Song thing, but this one has had me hooked on it for weeks.

How dare you say that. I'm having trouble making the decision of if you thought the song was bad, or the lyrics are bad. This song is like S.E.X. by nickelback(Que the replies) and S.E.X. doesn't have this kind of hate on it. I knew haters hate, but this is ridiculous.

Nickelback – Photograph Lyrics 10 years ago
"Every memory of looking out the back door, i got the photo album spread out on my bedroom door"

this means that he remembers every detail about being young, and he doesn't LITERALLY have a bunch of photos on his door, the door represents his mind, and the photos represent his memories, and a photo album has a LOT of photos in it, so he actually is saying "I remember every little detail from my memories."

"its hard to say it time to say it, goodbye, goodbye"
This means he doesn't want to leave his memories, he misses being young and wants to go back and he cant just leave it, but he doesn't know what to do.

"I miss that town, i miss the faces, you can't erase, you can't replace it, i miss it now, i can't believe it, so hard to stay, too hard to leave it"

This is the most heartfelt moment in my opinion, i cried when i heard that part. But it means I miss it all, and you can't get rid of memories, but you can't live in them either.

"If i could relive those days, i know the one thing that would never change"
This means "If i could relive those days, my memories/happiness will never leave/change"

Hope this helped.

Shinedown – Second Chance [Album Version] Lyrics 10 years ago
I really love this song, and it has a deep meaning.

"I made it through the day"
This imo means that "I made it through my madness" or "Made it through the pain again"

"Why are you always running in place?" That means Stop running in circles, and do what you need to do.

"Even the man and the moon dissapear, somewhere in the stratosphere" This means All good things must come to an end.

"Tell my mother tell my father, i've done the best i can to make them realise this is my life" Pretty self explanitory, but it means this is MY life, not yours, so let me live my life.

"Im not angry im just saying sometimes goodbye is a second chance"
This means I am not angry, i am just saying that im giving you a second chance.

"Please don't cry one tear for me im not afraid of what i have to say"
This is a little confusing for me, but i think it means Don't be sad, because i know how to handle this/it.

"This is my one and only voice so listen close, its only for today"
This is the first and only time i will speak up for someone, so enjoy it.

Hope this helped guys!
