| Metric – Artificial Nocturne Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| Read this song looking at dark and light as imagery of good and bad, hope and gloom. Those motif's are present in everything Emily rights, and lend a plausible easy to follow meaning to the rest of the song. Give it a try :-) | |
| Metric – Artificial Nocturne Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| Day and night is classic imagery of happy and sad, good and bad. Re-read this that way. It all makes a lot more sense, and fits much better with Emily's general thematic motif. | |
| Metric – Help, I'm Alive Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| Watch this to answer question. It isn't an add it's a video about Emily and her process, in particular about this song, and her struggles with fame, anxiety and depression. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6L8l2y2BtCs | |
| Metric – Gimme Sympathy Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| Considering the personal struggle Emily went through in writing this Album trying to live up to the hype of being what Metric was, and that it was one of the first singles to hit the mainstream from the Album, I 100% agree with you. There was a video posted on the official website about her escaping to spain to get out of depression and find an anonymous place to feel less pressure and make something real. Here! : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6L8l2y2BtCs | |
| Metric – Twilight Galaxy Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| Actually, I have a different opinion on the "daemons". "I've seen all the daemons that you've got" in context is about understanding that "there's no glitter in the gutter" but you can still go "higher then high". It's about accepting and facing those daemons: your reality of real gutters, but not letting yourself fall into the gutters and into the grasp of the daemons, but instead reaching "higher then high". | |
| fun. – We Are Young Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Has anyone here ever heard of Carpe Diem poems? It seems like that's what this is. The speaker's pretty much saying: we've had our differences, but let's go home and have sex. At least that's what I got. Maybe that's just cause I've spent too much time studying poetry though :-/ |

| Taking Back Sunday – Sad Savior Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
My problem with your interpretation is that the words "brutally beaten" are very unlikely about physical abuse. It's all about feeling at home at a time, in a place, with a person/people. "Brutally beaten" more then likely is referring to the idea of being shoved around, voiceless, minor, "an orphan". It's about taking away that sense of being displaced, and instead embracing something/someone(s) in safety. It can either be about the band finding family again & safety in each other, feeling incomplete otherwise or finding family within a typical family structure or both. & it is about the idea of growth, as a unit, as a form of endurance, realizing time is passing. |

| Taking Back Sunday – Best Places To Be A Mom (Demo) Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
The band was created with *Shaun* in it. He IS TBS's bassist. He was always supposed to be. There were 3 CD's without him & 2 with him. Which ones are better? Also, do you really prefer louder now & new again to anything by straylight? Where you want to be is OK at best, louder now is horrible, and I couldn't even get through listening to New Again once. Shaun is superior. & the five of those ORIGINAL boys writing together again is magic. |

| Lydia – Always Move Fast Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
To me, this song is about a girl who's just focused on everything wrong with this world (the car crash, sea of troubles, see your sadness). She meets this boy who tells her to live her life not lingering on those things and "always move fast", as to not let her sadness linger and swallow everything. At first she listens for while "I might stay for a while". She tells him he's living a world he's dreaming about "you're not awake." "your mind made it real. She thinks he's not awake enough to see the world as it really is; full of a soulful sadness. She leaves repeating his words to him "always move fast" is saying not to waste his time thinking about her. |

| Tegan and Sara – Soil, Soil Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| It's about a person feeling lost within themselves. In that time the person hides away from it all. They hide hoping someone will pull them out of themselves, and back into the real world. They're really waiting for one person that they really care about to take care of them, and just call. In that simple call it will be known that this person cares for them. In those moments of connection the person can be pulled completely out of themselves and back into the world. | |
| Motion City Soundtrack – Modern Chemistry Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| OH OH! Crytal light is a non-calorie non-fat sibsitute for juices. When trying to loose wait it's like a stop temptation for unessasary calorie intake. This like might be in refrence to controling ones own willpower. | |
| Motion City Soundtrack – Modern Chemistry Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I think it's a universal concept for any mood-atering substance. This includes mood stabilizers, uppers, and could also include any recriational drug. Many addicts see there drug dealers as doctors and the narcotics as a medical cure. Also, I adore this song. It's my favourite MCS song. Then again I'm a bipolar teenage freaked out by loosing control of myself. However, this song seems to relate to depression above all else, with reffrences to panic attacts, serotonin levels and doctors advice. |

| Motion City Soundtrack – It Had to Be You Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
"Do you feel a certain sense of synergy between yourself and me? A kind of macabre and somber wondertwin type of harmony?" This part I'm in love with. Does anyone think this is directed at the listener of the song in his search for understanding. This song is like a secret confession, or a diary entry, or a clandenstine fantasy. |

| The Academy Is... – LAX to O'Hare Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I see just Palahniuks ideas everywhere... "It was a plain ride. Just a plain..." (fight club. Plain ride=meeting tyler.... Also surviver. Plane ride=life vs. death and soooooo much more. Actually though.. i'm only 1/4 through that books so who knows..) "Maybe I should blindly throw my faith into the next thing that comes my way." (Tyler. Throw a punch anyone?? Hard? See also; Big Bob. See also; the people spending days infront of Tyler's house.) "standing at the back door with the life that she left behind." This passage screams invisible monsters. Girls leaving lives behind. Road trips. Cross-country trips. "If we know the way we're gonna die through everything else we will survive. I've been waiting far too long to feel the sun on my back." Once again... undeniebly surviver. "It was a big bang and a bright white light from no where. It turned my coach class window to" Reminds me of the beginning chapter of invisible monsters. Deaht symbolic of re-birth, a general knowing confussion, and a gun that has/must go off. That's what I got... |

afkhrfeahfajeaw Also... does this remind anyone of Chuck Palahniuk's Invisible Monsters (which Panic! also greatly borrows from...) |

| The Academy Is... – We've Got a Big Mess on Our Hands Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I'm kinda scared TAI is becoming Fall Out Boy. Seriosly almosthere sounds like take this to your grave and this song reminds me ok FUCT. Does that mean the next cd will make this boys into a boyband? I kinda love the video to death. I feel like this song is about fame. William looks in the mirror and sees a boy he doesn't reconise; a kid ruined by fame. He feels like he's entering this foriegn world and doesn't much like what he's become. He thinks everything should be working out but instead it feels like things are crashing down. He's not sure he can deal with pain, stress, responsibility and the public eye. Sounds exacly like a Mr. Peter Lewis Kingston Wentz no? That's why Pete makes that cameo in said video. Not to mention they're good friends and the record label-ties. And the home-town ties. Have you ever looked in a mirror, hated what you saw, and just been so overwhelmed at the concept that you had/have become something you don't/didn't recognize? That's what I think this song is about. **excuse the typos. |

| Nirvana – Lithium Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
By the way.. I must once again clarify lithium is NOT an anti-depressant. It is a mood stablizer. Their is a major major diffrence. Mood stabalizers often result in elongated periods of feeling of extreem indifference or apathy. They are often taken in combination with anti-depressants or drugs with anti-depressant properties. |

| Nirvana – Lithium Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Like many have said, lithium is the most common prescribed mood stabilizer used to treat bipolar disorder. Kurt Cobain had bipolar disorder. (Black label, check you sources. I am also on lithium as we speak and it was prescribed to me for the first time in November. Seriosly... don't go accusing people of bullshiting things you know nothing about. My psychiatrist has told me many times that lithium is still the gold standard drug for people with bipolar disorder. I could go on and on about it... but I won't.) In my opinion this song is about exploring a mind that is not chemically balanced and wanting to believe that mind is balanced. I believe that when Kurt is saying “I’m not gonna crack” he’s questioning his sanity. He's wondering if he needs the meds to be sane, or if he's sane without them, or if it's possible to ever be sane at all. It seems to me as though he's questioning the idea of his diagnosis of bipolar disorder in relation to medication and mental sanity. It also seems as though Kurt is trying to find some serenity in his diagnosis and coming to terms with the idea of medication “I’m so happy cause today I found my friends, they’re in my head” As a whole... I am very unsure if this song is pro or anti-medication. And I just want to say... while I was in the hospital calming down from my manic attack... nirvana songs kept playing though my head. I wasn’t a huge nirvana fan at the time, though I did really like the band. I never knew he was bipolar until several months later. I remember talking to a youth care worker in my ward and she was saying how she didn't understand how all these young patients seem to look up to Kurt Cobain so much and seem to be oh-so-fascinated with him. Apparently in the youth psychiatry ward I was in, Cobain is a special kind of hero. |

| Brand New – Magazines Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
After getting very very used to modern brand new, hearing songs like this again makes me smile. They're just cute. Such a transformation though... just through the lyrics you can hear Jessey growing up... yeah but obviosly this is about Jessey's fantasy about a victoria's secret model mentioned in the song again and again and again... |
|
| At the Drive-In – Heliotrope Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| This song might be about healthcare, but after looking at the lyrics carefully it seems like more of a critic on war. The idea of drafts and the military. The idea of sallary. The idea of how wounds are healed. | |
| Fall Out Boy – Calm Before the Storm (Evening Out With Your Girlfriend version) Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This song is typical old fall out boy. It makes me smile because I almost forgot this stuff still exists. And it's pure. No expectatopm-type-pure. It's about a failed relationship, her cheating, and the girl wanting him back. That's all. Read the lyrics. |

| Fall Out Boy – This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Ok, I'm writing again but this time I'll be nice... I wish I could delete that other post but I can't so what's done is done. I think that it's true that Fall Out Boy might be attempting to bring actual intellagence to the mainstreem pop scene, actual charecter. Maybe to teach the word that nerds from chicogo can do anything, so you can too. The thing is I hate this song. I hate what thier music has become. I hate that they feel the need to prove whatever they may be proving. Maybe some little kids somewhere will read Pete's lyrics and begin to think past the supperficial. I hope so. I hope that's his/their aim. The thing is you can tell that Pete hates the scene he's now part of, he hates the barinless bandwagon kids. But he wants to start something new. He wants to bring intellegance to bubble-gum, boybandesk pop. That's what this song is about. |

| Fall Out Boy – This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I'm suprised... the lyrics are still good. Fall out boy now sounds like a boyband. They used to have charecter, substance, be real, have integrity. They sold all that.. sold everything that made them real for fame and gold... no more "scars and stories" just fame... The thing is, they admit all this in this song. |

| Cartel – The Minstrel's Prayer Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Wow... I just realized if you listen closely to the drums, you can hear a heartbeat. This song hits me hard. It makes me smile from ear to ear. His voice is so beautiful. This song is a prayer about love. He wants the strength to write the perfect love song for this girl, and he accomplishes his mission. At the same time it's an ode to songwriters everywhere. It's about the strength of words, and their importance. It's also about the power of love. Lately this song strikes me in a way so few songs do. I've been listing to it over and over and over again. And it only gets better. |
