Untitled

hey people, it's not an untitled song. the name of the song is "Untitled." the song is about how he never could come up with the right thing to say, so he's being cheeky with the song title -- he can't even come up with a title.

the best song ever... I listened to this song 24 hrs a day for a month after getting dumped once.

My friend recently took his own life, and wanted this song played at his funeral. He used to always listen to it in his car and make us be quiet when he would. I never knew the meaning, but now its meaning is so much deeper.

"Hopelessly drift in the eys of the ghost again" "never quite said what I wanted to say to you" "never quite knew how to make them believable" "and now the time has gone" "i'll never lose this pain, never dream of you again."

When I was in H.S., this song was something I could listen to and feel less alone, and wallow abit. To me, it was about the inability to communicate love for someone, and the regret when the opportunity passes. I had such a crush on one girl. It turned out she had some feelings towards me as well. My opportunity came with her, and I was too scared to act. She soon looked elsewhere and I wallowed to this somg for quite some time.

he says "again" several times in this song, showing that this is a constant occurance with him. he finds himself from time to time coming face to face with this ghost of this regret, holding him still in the past.

i never got a sense of lost love on this song, but more of a family member who died. wishing you could of not only said the right words but said them in a way that the other person would fully grasp and understand what they meant to you. But it's too late and this person is gone.

he talks about 'the devil futility'.. trying to fight out the feeling of it being useless... maybe his uselessness or how its useless to be stuck in the past because it's too late, giving the stark realization that once again there is nothing he can ever do about it.. and going in full circle here, he acknowledges that that's what eats him up inside, so much so that he knows he will always hold that regret 'i'll never lose this pain'

'never dream of you again'.. they're gone

This song depresses me. I really love it too, but I had a bad experience with a girl I had a crush on and when I went in my car to drive home, I heard this song first. I had a burned CD with The Cure and The Smiths songs on it and this one was the one that popped up. It was made even more depressing when The Smith's "Cemetry Gates" came on next. It was a sunny spring day with the flowers out in full bloom and I was stuck in traffic in a stoplight right in front of a cemetary! I thought I was going to kill myself. I guess I'm just a softie for the college girls.

i think its about losing someone but also an addiction, whether their seperate or one is causing the other, the addiction means someone is being lost...... a very sad song, can be pretty painful when you listen to it if you've been through either..........

I think this refers to lost love of any kind. Robert Smith seems to sing about it a lot (another example is "Pictures of You"). It is indeed a very sad song, but so beautiful.

this is an awesome song , but doresnt it piss u off when artists / poets / robert smith call ther songs untitled?

I read this song in three parts: Memory, regret, and the pain caused by their synergy.

The first few lines are all about memory: how elusive, how haunting, how it hovers and rains images of past a with someone whom we loved truly yet poory, a past we wish to recapture.

The following lines express our regret for simply "not": not letting her know how truly we felt. Maybe if we were not preoccupied with the words, we might have shown her with simple actions.

The two together wreak havoc within, become a monster inside, clawing into every aspect of our lives. And because of this, there is no longer any hope, no dreams to speak of.
