Let me fall
Let me climb
There's a moment when fear
And dreams must collide

Someone I am
Is waiting for courage
The one I want
The one I will become
Will catch me

So let me fall
If I must fall
I won't heed your warnings
I won't hear them

Let me fall
If I fall
Though the phoenix may
Or may not rise

I will dance so freely
Holding on to no one
You can hold me only
If you too will fall
Away from all these
Useless fears and chains

Someone I am
Is waiting for my courage
The one I want
The one I will become
Will catch me

So let me fall
If I must fall
I won't heed your warning
I won't hear

Let me fall
If I fall
There's no reason
To miss this one chance
This perfect moment
Just let me fall

    I absolutely love this song. I think it's about this person in self-exploration. Discovering who he is, stripping himself of the layers and deciding what kind of person he is without anyone behind him to hold him back. To let him fall, and that is how he will discover who he really is. But that's just what I hear. The meaning can be pretty hard to decipher. :p Josh sings this well, but I think you guys who like this would also maybe like the version that's on the Cirque Du Soliel:Quidam soundtrack (where this song is originally from). It's sung by Mathieu Levoie, and it's absolutely mesmerizing. Check it out. ;)

    Woah i was just about to write "i totally agree with you omg!" But then I realized Id written that comment lol I think that this song is about trying to reach a certain goal, but he no longer wants to have to depend on people to get him through, he wants to do it himself and if he has to fall to get to where he needs to be then so be it he will just come back with even more determination "you can hold me only if you too will fall" I love that line "Away from all these Useless fears and chains" Fears should never stop you from chasing your dream This song is very inspiring and I love it

    i Like this song but he has a lot of better songs in my oppinion, and yes his voice is freakin hawt! And Id agree to the sexiest man alive thing if only Johnny Depp did not exist. Johnny Depp is howtness and sexiness and prettiness all in one and he is so sexy when he speaks french

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.

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.
