All alone
I must stand
Even when I'm running
And it feels, like a dream
I need to awaken from

I believe
When it hurts
We must keep on trying
But I want, and I need
Like a river needs the rain
There's a bridge I need to burn before I leave
I just want to breathe again
Like a summer's day I need to feel the heat again

I only want to keep the stone from rolling
I only want to learn to feel the rain
Then maybe I could stop the leaves from falling
I only want to learn to freeze the flame
I know I'll be alive again
I want to be alive again

Here's the night, where are the stars 'cause I need some guiding
And it cuts like a knife as I watch you walk away

There's a bridge I need to burn before I leave
I just want to live again
Like a stormy rain I need to hear it beat again

I only want to keep the stone from rolling
I only want to learn to feel the rain
Then maybe I could stop the leaves from falling
I only want to learn to freeze the flame
I know I'll be alive again
I want to be alive again
I want to be alive again

'Cause I did my best
Baby who'd have guessed that I failed the test
'Cause when love ain't blessed and it's laid to rest it can leave a mess

I only want to keep the stone from rolling
I only want to learn to feel the rain
Then maybe I could stop the leaves from falling
I only want to learn to freeze the flame

I only want to keep the stone from rolling
I only want to learn to feel the rain
Then maybe I could stop the leaves from falling
I only want to learn to freeze the flame

Zombie
Cranberries, The
"Zombie" is about the ethno-political conflict in Ireland. This is obvious if you know anything of the singer (Dolores O'Riordan)'s Irish heritage and understood the "1916" Easter Rising reference. "Another head hangs lowly Child is slowly taken And the violence caused such silence Who are we mistaken - Another mother's breaking Heart is taking over" Laments the Warrington bomb attacks in which two children were fatally injured on March 23rd, 1993. Twelve year old Tim Parry was taken off life support with permission from his mother after five days in the hospital, virtually braindead. "But you see it's not me It's not my family" References how people who are not directly involved with the violence feel about it. They are "zombies" without sympathy who refuse to take action while others suffer.

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.

Taylor Swift
This song is Swift's response to the negative reputation the media has given her. "I can make the bad guys good for a weekend" - the bad guys are the paparazzi to Swift, but are good to the "player" since association with Swift immediately gives publicity. Any publicity is good publicity and Swift knows this. "You can tell me when it's over" - the tabloids rumor relationships are over before the couple announces it officially. With this song Swift is portraying the way she is portrayed by the media. It is a sarcastic jab at how she views herself and how her "ex-lovers" only wanted to be with her to increase their fame. I applaud the brilliance in writing about how you always write about relationships. It is expected so Swift is giving the media what they want and profiting off the attention.
