Julia Says

Wet Wet Wet

And here I go again, through the back streets of my mind,
It seems my life was standing still,
Who's sorry now (sorry now)
It's funny how I didn't notice

Here we go again, fighting things we never win,
It seems our love was standing still
Oh I'm sorry now (sorry now)
It's funny how (funny how)
I don't feel the love,
I just hear the words,

Julia says
She doesn't know what it's all about
She doesn't seem to care at all,
Open your eyes and see
Love hurts

I won't be fooled again,
Looking for the dream I couldn't find
The dream for me was left behind
Woh I'm sorry now (sorry now)
It's funny how (funny how)
I don't feel the love
I just hear the words

Julia says
She doesn't know what it's all about,
She doesn't seem to care at all,
Open your eyes and see, love hurts,
Julia please, open your eyes and see

Julia wants to be on her own,
Sharing her thoughts, she is all alone,
Dreaming of the things she wants to be,
Where Julia don't belong

Julia says
She doesn't know, what it's all about
She doesn't know,
Julia please open your eyes see
C'mon Julie open your eyes and see
She don't know what it's all about
Julia please, Julia please
Julia, you don't care at all
Cause I want you
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Julie, Julie, Julie

    I've always loved this song, it brings me very sweet memories from high school and my life back then. For some reason, I've always found it very touching, but back then I didn't understand the lyrics so now I'm not so sure what it could be written about. The armonies are really beautiful, it's one of my favourites from the mid-90s.

    I always love this song, music and lyrics. I think it's about a girl who doesn't seem to care about his lover and how the story goes. she seems to be cinic or, living in a dreamworld.

    My Opinion
    I think this song tell about repetition of bad romance between (Julia) and her lover. When he(the lover) love her(julia), Julia rejected him. And than when Julia love him, he rejected her. He not believe when she tell, she love him, coz before... Julia rejected him. But when he reject her, he feel hurt when doing that to her. In lyrics : "And here I go again, through the back streets of my mind, It seems my life was standing still, Who's sorry now (sorry now) It's funny how I didn't notice " But than he realise that he love her. In lyrics : "Here we go again, fighting things we never win, It seems our love was standing still . Oh I'm sorry now (sorry now) It's funny how (funny how) " But too bad, he already breaking her heart, so she reject him. In lyrics : "Julia says She doesn't know what it's all about She doesn't seem to care at all, Open your eyes and see Love hurts " And know she (julia) doesn't want to be hurting by him again. In lyrics : "I won't be fooled again, Looking for the dream I couldn't find The dream for me was left behind Woh I'm sorry now (sorry now) It's funny how (funny how) I don't feel the love I just hear the words " But he still persistent with his love, he want to prove to Julia. that he not afraid anymore and he really love Julia. In lyric: "Julia please open your eyes see C'mon Julie open your eyes and see She don't know what it's all about Julia please, Julia please Julia, you don't care at all Cause I want you C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon Julie, Julie, Julie" She think, the romance between them should be end. Coz its only make them hurting each other feeling.... In lyrics: "Julia wants to be on her own, Sharing her thoughts, she is all alone, Dreaming of the things she wants to be, Where Julia don't belong" But i think, there is still a hope for him... Coz " the dream of the things she want to be, are not where Julia belong" Only take few time for her to realise where should she belong... Its like when he(the lover) realise that he belongs to Julia (◠‿◠✿) If its real romance... well... it will be REALLY A HARD TIME for him... Chayo!! C'mon boy... he love her right?! ᕙ(`▽´)ᕗ Next time the girl you love, loving you, DONT REJECT HER!!! "Love must be honest and brave..." He must pay the price, weather "lose the love or patient to get the love" Depend... how much he love her... Love is complicated, i stick to the rule.. "Love yourself" Much more simplify... wkwkwkwk... forever alone... XDXDXD

    I think this is about being around the backstreets of Bath and a girl refusing his walking advance due to his fame. I reckon the reaction surprised him and Tommy. Time stood still. There was then regret The words of the song being said at the time An amazing encounter with regret. Great song.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.

Trouble Breathing
Alkaline Trio
While the obvious connections with suicide or alcoholism could be drawn easily, more subtly this song could be about someone who views the world through a negative lens constantly and how as much as the writer tries to show the beauty in the world, this person refuses to see it. It's one or another between the rope and the bottle. There is no good option for this person. They can't see it. Skiba sings it in a kind of exasperated way like He's tired of hearing this negative view constantly and just allowing that person to continue feeling the way they feel knowing he can't do anything about it. You can hear it when he says maybe you're a vampire.

Somewhere Only We Know
Keane
Per the FAQ on Keane's website, Keane's drummer Richard Hughes, stated the following: "We've been asked whether "Somewhere Only We Know" is about a specific place, and Tim has been saying that, for him, or us as individuals, it might be about a geographical space, or a feeling; it can mean something individual to each person, and they can interpret it to a memory of theirs... It's perhaps more of a theme rather than a specific message... Feelings that may be universal, without necessarily being totally specific to us, or a place, or a time..." With the nostalgic sentiment and the overall tone of the song, I think Keane is attempting to express a Portuguese term known as 'saudade', which does not have a direct English translation but roughly means "that which we remember because it is gone."

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 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 ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… ) 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.
