When I'm done with thinking
Then I'm done with you
When I'm done with crying
Then I'm done with you
When I feel so tired
Then I'm done with you
Everybody feels this way sometimes
Everybody feels this way

And I do
You can't hear it but I do
You can't hear it but I do
You're trying to convince me
That what I've done is not right

I get so frustrated
I stay up every night
You ask me for an answer
And I'm so tired and I'm up in the air
Everybody feels this way sometimes
Everybody feels this way

And I do
You can't hear it, but I do
You can't hear it, but I'm feeling this way
Just because you say
I will be ignored
I will be denied

I could be erased
I could be brushed aside
I will get scared
And I will get shoved down
But I feel like I do
Because you push me around
I'm starting to ignore you
I've doubted you so long
I'm tired of overthinking
I know you don't belong
Now I'm asking questions
No one pushes me around
Everybody feels this way sometimes
Everybody feels this way

And I do
You can't hear it, but I do
You don't seem angry, but I do
I do
I do
I do
You don't seem angry, but I do
You can't hear it, but I do
I do
You can't hear it, but I do
I do

    I can totally relate to this song. My ex has no idea how much misery he has caused me, and when he feels all relaxed I'm the one that's uptight and hasn't been able to let go of the fact that its over. "You don't seem angry, but I do."

    this song could also describe a friendship. U really just get over friends that drain you like that, just like a relationship too.

    I think this song describes her finally realizing she deserves more from the person she's singing to than she's getting. She's been pushed around and treated like dirt, and the person acts like she's blowing things out of proportion or that she somehow deserves how he's treating her. She's saying: "Fuck you, buddy. You're not going to have the privilege of my presence anymore. I deserve a -lot- better." Empowering!

    It's about her record label: "We were almost finished recording the album, Firecracker, and the record company told us that we still needed a single. I decided to write a song that sounded like a song about a realtionsthip, but was actually about the record company not "hearing" a single on the record already. You can hear it in the lyrics, "You can't hear it, but I do." The song ended up being an expression of strenght and power even when someone's not treating you right. When I play live concerts the audience always seems to cheer when they hear the lyric, "i'm starting to ignore you.""

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.

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.
