stop, stop staring at my window, nobody's home
i think you're scaring me today
knock knocking on my bedroom wall and i'm gone
you’re such a beautiful stalker, beautiful stalker
round and round the tension burns
take it back - you've been returned
you’re all dressed up to paint this town
but you look just like me
stop drop your rockin to the radio is playing my song
and its giving me a headache.
all swelled up i'm gonna pop
your passion cause you wanted to be me to make your parents proud
just to make your fucking parents proud
round and round the tension burns
take it back - you've been returned
you’re all dressed up to paint this town
but you look just like me
steady not to trip in, and my tongues all tied up
i’ve just wasted a line
i’ve just stolen your time
red lights flashing, my minute is up
i’m so out of your life
i’m so out of the limelight
out of the limelight
out of the limelight
round and round the tension burns
take it back - you've been returned
you’re all dressed up to paint this town
but you look just like me
you look just like me (yeah)
you look just like-
...me

    This song is all about confusion. I don't think anyone could interpret this song for everyone to understand. I'll just say you have to listen to it. It's a really good song.

    its about someone idolizing a person to the point where they want to be them because they are not satisfied with their own personality. they dress like that person act like that person and do everything that person does. they lose their own identity and forget how to be themselves

    i think this is about spending so much time worrying about everyone else that you don't even recognise yourself anymore. part of you wants to have fun, but you are scared of that part of you.

    well... i can totally relate to this song. i think it's about having someone in your life who admires you to such an extreme that they start dressing and acting just like you... and start stalking your every move because they don't know who they are and since they think you're perfect they wanna be the person you are.

    Basically, I think it's about a kid whose parents can't accept him or her for who they are. They admire another kid, and constantly ask their son/daughter why they can't be more like the other kid. Eventually the kid gives up being their own person, and "look just like" the kid their parents admire.

    I also think it's about a kid who's parents can't accept him... but I think it's only about one person, maybe. Like they pretend to be someone else so that their parents will approve of them. They're all dressed up and doing what their parents what them to do, but it's not really what they want to. Kind of like an alter ego, maybe. lol, I don't know. This is just what it looked like to me. Everyone else's theories make sense to me too... just thought I'd give you something else to think about! :-D

    From the first "..you look just like me..", I got the impression that it was about one person, too. You try to clean yourself up and impress, but you've failed. You still look just like yourself. Sounds like alternating back and forth between people, but it's always the same person, and it can't be hidden. Anyway.. er.. ::runs::

Sunglasses at Night
Corey Hart
In the 1980s, sunglasses were a common fashion for people who wanted to adopt a "tough guy" persona (note all the cop shows from that era -- Simon & Simon, Miami Vice, etc. -- where the lead characters wore shades). So I think this song is about a guy who wears shades as a way of hiding his insecurity after learning that his girlfriend is cheating on him. He's trying to pretend that he's a "tough guy" to hide the fact that his girlfriend's affair is disturbing him.

The Last Dance
Within Temptation
@[Kahiara:35260] Actually I think the husband passed away, "She sang for you last night She heard you were calling" Many people say they have felt, heard, or seen their loved ones after they have passed. "Don't be scared now Close your eyes She holds guard tonight Go on forward no remorse Life will take it's course" This is said to the late husband by a third part (never named), who encourages him to pass on. Because life will eventually continue. The phrase "holds guard" refers to the ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake_(ceremony) ) which is a Christian ceremony held after someone dies. Now it is usually held right after the funeral, but in most celtiic countries the wake is held before the funeral. "She danced with you last night so you will remember All you have shared, a lifetime." This sentence feels as if the only thing it wants to convey is their history together, namely, husband and wife. For the rest it just refers back to the first verse.

Shudder to Think
This song is timeless, and nearly 20 years after its creation, still possesses the mystique it did the first time i heard it ~1994. To me, at first blush, all those years ago, it had some kind of homo-erotic allure. The line "so that the others may do" tells of something which must be done for others to follow suit. It felt like like some kind of roxy-glam-pop invitation to sexual liberation. Upon further introspection I think the song may not have an intrinsic meaning, but simply represents a sort of "holding open the door" for people who otherwise might be affronted by this song/band's unusual style. I know, as a sort of armchair rock-historian, that there have been few bands so daring and so true to the sound that wanted to emerge from within, whether the creator wanted it or not. This band handled it with elegance and grace seldom, if ever, seen.

Anti-Hero
Taylor Swift
I believe this is another amazingly on point and nuanced commentary on the insanity that follows emotionally abusive relationships. The abuser has no anxieties, no emotional pain, or salience/memory for that matter, so the survivor appears to be the crazy one, obsessed with the abuse and that buzzword that seems to ignite arguments about diagnosing people without a degree, etc. funny how you say the words domestic violence, abuse, abuse survivor and boom the subject changes. Anyways, I especially relate to her midnights becoming afternoons, complex PTSD often leads to this phenomenon, whether due to purposeful sleep deprivation by the abuser, or just hyper vigilance associated with the PTSD, along with the fear of facing people, especially your loved ones, who Never actually understand, even if they try, because all they see is you, on fire, screaming about the arsonist that no one ever sees, and who has been spreading lies about your alleged mental instability, deceptive personality, etc. the whole time. While the last thing survivors need is more blame, our society supports a narrative that blames the objectively innocent party because the blatantly guilty party has spent their entire lives fabricating a persona and we’re just being human, and human psychology is quite counterintuitive especially in the context of trauma. Look at Amber Heard. Vilified and not believed, regardless of what any abuse survivor could recognize as a fellow survivor instantly. But Johnny depp is a malignant narcissist, a man, and wealthy as all get out. It’s sick.

Alma Matters
Morrissey
The man has pseudo-friends who constantly criticize his actions. They moralize him, "teach" him and advise him to make a significant change in his life, because the way he is and what he does is not what they say it should be. They may find his life lame or immoral. They hold themselves up as role models. The man replies that he will make his own choices and decisions and he does not agree to unconditionally make himself under the influence of questionable quality advice. He justifies this by saying that there is always someone for whom he will be important, no matter what he does and no matter what he is. Although it is not said directly, I read it as meaning that he will always be important to himself in every way and he will always have his own support. "Everyone is different and maybe that's a good thing, but you exceeded that mark 1000 times" - I remember very well how sad the words I once heard (from my peers and it was in negative context) at school made me feel.
