Somethings wrong
Trying to conquer these fears I've thought were gone
And it's been so long
I'm dying to live in a world I don't belong

I can't wait for someone to hear me
And wait for someone to touch me
And wait for ever to be told
I'm forever alone
I can't wait for someone to feel me
And wait (wait) for (for) someone to heal me
And wait for ever to be told
I'm forever alone

On my own
I've shown myself
What it means to be alone
And the tears I cry
Have washed away all the scars of my disguise

I can't wait for someone to hear me
And wait for someone to touch me
And wait for ever to be told
I'm forever alone
I can't wait for someone to feel me
And wait (wait) for (for) someone to heal me
And wait for ever to be told
I'm forever alone
I'm forever alone
I'm forever alone
I'm forever alone

I am not waiting here this time

I can't wait for someone to hear me
And wait for someone to touch me
And wait for ever to be told
I'm forever alone
I can't wait for someone to feel me
And wait (wait) for (for) someone to heal me
And wait for ever to be told
I'm forever alone
I'm forever alone

    Suprised not many people have commented on this song. To me the song is talking about the realization of being alone and that waiting for another person to lift you up high is pointless.

    yallRstupid...if you REALLY think about it...maybe...just maybe...he's saying he's basically waiting for someone to give him some type of attention...i.e. someone to hear me...someone to touch me...etc. Because while he's waiting for some one to do something to more or less acknowledge his existence, he's basically alone...or as he put it...forever alone

    I think the song has a lot to do with someone who feels like they're suck in living in an emotional state of limbo. The kind of thing that happens when you've been hurt so bad by something that your own scars block you from being capable of feeling anything anymore. Your own fears block you from opening up, you hide behind them, so that no one else can ever really see you or "touch" you. When that happens, you really are alone.

    I heard this song about a month or two ago and loved it. I cant believe no one else has really written anything about it. I guess the song is really self-explanatory and sums up alot of shit that people go through. Its a great song and i hope more people start listening to it.

    This song doesn't really require much analysing. We need songs like it once in a while. The fact that it's just plain awesome doesn't hurt either ^^;

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.

System
Mel And Kim
Just listening for the 784,654th time....and it's just perfect in every way. Just incredible. The only reason it was remade was to scoop up a boatload of money from a more modern and accepting audience. But it is a completely different song than the other one that sounds slapped together in a few takes without a thought for the meaning. This song captivates me still, after 50+ years. Takes me to the deep South and the poverty of some who lived thru truly hard times. And the powerful spirit of a poor young girl being abandoned to her future with only a red dress and her wits to keep her alive. She not only stayed alive, she turned her hard beginnings around, became self sufficient, successful and someone with respect for herself. She didn't let the naysayers and judgers stop her. She's the one sitting in the drivers seat at the end. So, not a song about a poor girl, but a song of hope and how you can rise up no matter how far down you started. There is a huge difference between a singer who simply belts out a song that is on a page in front of them, and someone who can convey an entire experience with their voice. Telling not just a story with words, but taking you inside it and making you feel like you are there, with their interpretation.

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.
