| Tonic – You Wanted More Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
I relate to this in a parent child relationship. They grew up being force fed what love is; it's about sacrifice, doing WHATEVER a person asks of you, and if you can't live up to these standards you're not a very "loyal" friend. I took never saying you belong as if your options always match that of the group or person. "you obviously are not unique bc you can't always possibly desire/ want the same things as others like that. " To me this song is a parent who set their child up to be a "show dog" and/or "door Matt", most likely for their own selfish needs and/or their major let down in humanity. The only relationship that feels "right" is an abusive one. When the person they meet shows real love it doesn't feel right. It's scary, like "knowing" you're gunna get slapped in the face but you're always on edge not knowing when. This is mostly subconscious though, but the writer in the song sounds like he's partly waking up to this.That's why the singer doesn't know where this bitter resentment toward love is coming from. It's very confusing and if you have an inkling that it may be true, it's unnerving and terrifying. It's a painful lonely life where you never know what is causing this pain, because it all goes back to people you were told loved you so much littered with a side of guilt and desperation. Its a life of stagnation only going when told it may go. Real friends were scared away from your parent as a child, so how would I know what a real friend is. This "Love" feels so demanding, it's painful to feel like a piece of trash raised to serve others and feel constant guilt, fear, and shame just by the constant everyday interactions whether the person is nasty or kind. Nothing feels safe, and deep down you're always scared. As painful as loneliness is, being around other people is just as painful if not more. |

| Pat Benatar – Shadows Of The Night Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
To me this is a person pep talking themselves bc they've been living each day just trying to be strong and "fake it to make it". Now part of them is taking a stand trying to find the strength to believe, actually have dreams again, but most of all learning to give and receive love after so much pain and heart ache. I really feel that it's just her bc first she says "You say it's a cold...ect" Then follows with "I said" Then the next lines to me are basically Beat "me" (yourself) up but we have to look forward bc nobody else is going to do this for me! Running with the shadows- Nothing in life is making any sense, I have no real clue what to do and it seems pretty hopeless But "take me hand" Have faith in yourself have faith in your dreams again and if you truly believe in yourself you WILL make it through!! You come up with angry excuses as to why you think most people are full of shit, their liars, fake, backs tanners, ect But the truth is you're afraid to take a risk on ANYONE anymore. But you need to first take a risk on YOURSELF bc everyone after will never be that important bc you have YOU and know you'll be ok with or with out people in your life. The ending Your life is a hamster wheel now, stagnant, and the hands of time are basically at a stand still. BE BRAVE Take a risk to run in the shadowy unknown so that you may find and achieve your dreams. Seize the day! (Or in this song the night) |

| Soundgarden – Black Hole Sun Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
@[MrSwindler:7122] I want to start off with sometimes we do not make art but rather it happens to us in a subconscious level. I know he said the lyrics were bs in one part but there were reflection thoughts as well that I looked up as well. I can't copy and paste the first one but it was on wiki. It said something like It's really difficult for people to create their own life and their own freedom and it's going to create more disillusioned people... It goes on but check wiki if you don't believe me. Here's another thing I found. Cornell reflected on the song's lyrical content to Uncut: "What's interesting to me is the combination of a black hole and a sun," he said. "A black hole is a billion times larger than a sun, it's a void, a giant circle of nothing, and then you have the sun, the giver of all life. It was this combination of bright and dark, this sense of hope and underlying moodiness." "I even liked the way the words looked written down," Cornell added. "I liken it to Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd, where there's a happy veneer over something dark. It's not something I can do on purpose but occasionally it will happen by accident." |

| Nine Days – Absolutely (Story Of A Girl) Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
A quick outside view of a girl who, because of being a perfectionist on everything about herself and constantly upset at herself and everything, hides away most of the time from most people in general. She always has a list of things that are wrong and why she's not happy; "Your clothes never wear as well the next day, Your hair never falls in QUITE the same way, But you never seem to run out of things to say." What would really make her beautiful/ great person is to just smile and be happy. |

| Cold War Kids – Hang Me Up to Dry Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
I relate with this so much It's painful. The music video gives lots more information and understanding. They open the situation like a movie. The lovely woman getting married to "who she thought was her hero." My take it just as the bands name "cold war". Yet in a passive aggressive way at times and sometimes down right mentally abusive through control. Like that song voices carry. He tells her to keep her voice down and stop crying. Eventually the gentle keep it down becomes a SHUT UP! Back to this song The HOT water is ironically and seemingly supposed to be the element cleaning and protecting the clothes, but it's too hot and is sucking the very color and beauty of the clothes. Just as anger and control can be ironically feel like love. It feels safe to us but really all it's doing is sucking the very life out of you. These are reason why people "unexplainable" commit suicide and/or loose the ability to say a word let alone look in the mirror. As a kid drop dead Fred I felt was a movie I had to see, and I did, every morning. People say oh GOD tacky! Fred was RUINING her life. I never got why Fred tried to get her back with her jerk off husband who, like MOSTLY, not all, used her, manipulated her taking her kindness for stupidity, defeated her, humiliated her, and down right judged her so harshly it was like Snow White in the witches cell. Fred 1 wanted to help bc he respected and loved her so much, he did the same to her choices. Live doesn't judge and love doesn't control. 2 why he made her act out- true that's NOT the way to act but it was in a funny way "tough love". She was turning into a stuff porcelain doll that had to heart in a box and hidden bc others, her mother in this case, felt as if there was something wrong with her for having emotions and being herself. She HAD to wake up. Yes, it's shameful but a person can only suppress so much pain until the delicate porcelain skin withers away. I personally know what it's like. I spoke out, yet I LOST it and didn't know why. They forced me into hospitalization and basically tried to take complete control. Pills restraints meds that literally were so frightening I wanted to die, but not from the sorrow, it was the most frightening and crippling drug that I had EVER taken. Doctors treat u like a piece of plastic with no capability of reason or intelligence so not only did they not change my meds and not listen to the cries for help of rape anger confusion struggle, ect, they upped my dose to the MAX ( I'm a small female) and one lady even yelled at me when what I now know is "AKETHESIA" kicked in and I felt I HAD TO pace shout ANYTHING to fight the horrible unexplainable agony of this f***in PILLS! Bottom line to this song The singer has had it's very soul sucked out of them by dark souls. |

| Dredg – Somebody Is Laughing Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
There are some people who believe in a "spiritual after life" heaven, hell, religions, beliefs, ect,. There are those who just question and those who don't want to even waist time thinking about it (or they just flat out don't feel comfortable about it.) If we all "REALY" knew what was going on, then we wouldn't have anything to fear, right? (I beg to differ, b/c although I have my ideas and beliefs I fear the physical pain involved in death. That's just me) The somebody laughing is, " somebody, be it this earth, somewhere else, or maybe even HYPOTHETICALLY if there WAS someone who knew the answers they are LAUGHING at how crazy and wrong we ALL are! lol (I have to agree on that one!) "Call it heaven or the afterlife Or a fire-filled hell It's just this, just here, just now, that's all...that's all...that's all." To sum it up in my words " NOW is ALL that matters. Live in the NOW b/c it's all you ever have, moment by moment." |
