The Spill Canvas – Himerus And Eros Lyrics 14 years ago
i like a lot of other people can relate to this song, i fell in love with this girl and all she wanted me for was sex. every time i tried to get to know her she always blew me off. my other friends gave me crap about her and how they knew what she was like but i really did love her. and even though i know she doesn't feel anything for me i still hope we end up together forever. what i really wish though is that "i meant a little more than a symphony of heavy breathing and the friction of hips." i just want her to actually fall in love with me too. and not just use me until the next guy comes along

Sugarland – Stay Lyrics 15 years ago
i can really relate to this song right now, im in love with this girl, but she loves someone else, and no matter what i do i can't maker her see that there is nobody that can love her like i do, my favorite part of the song is the end because that is where im at right now, i still love her, but i've put too much into this and gotten nothing in return, so she can just stay with him because, "i'm up off my knees, im so tired of being lonely" and she "can't give me what i need"
im sorry jess, but i finally see that im better off without you, go ahead and keep your bf, im tired of putting up with you and living with you lying to me constantly , just know that he will never love you like i do

Chris Cagle – Laredo Lyrics 15 years ago
the song is about the city Laredo, he's had a lot of good times there with his girl and he knows that the memories the city holds might be the only way to make her stay with him, so it's like he's telling the city to help him keep his girl

David Archuleta – A Little Too Not Over You Lyrics 15 years ago
i think we can all relate to this song at some point, this song is my life at the moment, i fell in love with one of my friends, who is recently (less than a week) going out with one of my other friends, i think a big part of it was that i had a bad day and was mean to both of them, so they decided to hang out and it went from there, i know i should let her go, but there is a part of me that just wont let me forget her and what we used to have, so my personal favorite part right now is
"Maybe I regret everything I said
No way to take it all back, yeah
Now I'm on my own, how I let you go
I'll never understand"
if i would've kept my temper under control, i might still have a chance with her, but i know that things will never be the same now, i could apologize to her, but i have a feeling that she won't forgive me, now when i see her at school, my heart breaks all over again because she wont have anything to do with me and has moved on, yet I'm still madly in love with her

Evanescence – Missing Lyrics 15 years ago
i can totally relate to this song right now, im so in love with this girl, and i've shown her that i'd do anything for her, and i've given more of myself to her than anyone else in the world, she just doesn't seem to care how i feel, it's like im not even there, even worse is that she is flirting almost constantly with one of my best friends right in front of me and only hangs out with me to get to him, i've finally decided that even though it's gonna kill me, im just gonna leave her alone from now on and move on with my life

Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
Maybe someday you'll look up,
And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one:
"Isn't something missing?"
(someday she's gonna regret that she let me go, knowing that i would've done anything for her)

You won't cry for my absence, I know
You forgot me long ago.
Am I that unimportant...?
Am I so insignificant...?
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
(this is how i feel right now, i know that even though im torn to shreds right now, i know that she's just fine and doesn't care about me. after we had an argument a few days ago, all of my friends stopped talking to me like it was my fault she doesn't love me, im wondering now if they've noticed that something is missing, or if they're missing me at all)

Even though I'm the sacrifice,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?
(i sacrificed pretty much all of myself for her, i gave her my time and my heart, two things that i can never fully get back, i know that she'll never try to make things work between us, even though i'd literally die right now just to know that she ever loved me or even cared a little bit about me, i know now that she never did and her friendship was just a lie)

And if I bleed, I'll bleed,
Knowing you don't care.
And if I sleep just to dream of you
And wake without you there,
Isn't something missing?
Isn't something...
(this one is also pretty self explanatory, if i was to cut or kill myself, i know that she probably wouldn't even show up to my funeral if i died, and every night when i finally do sleep, she's always in my dreams, but i know that when i wake up, she was never there and never will be)

so Jessica, "please please forgive me, but i won't be home again" maybe someday you'll see that we were perfect for each other, but you were just too blind to see just how much i loved you

The Spill Canvas – All Hail The Heartbreaker Lyrics 15 years ago
my fav. part of the song is definately the "I had the notion that you'd make me forget the world
But your undecisive mind shows me that you are "just another girl"
I had the feeling that those looks you gave me were real
What if I ripped your heart apart at the seams
maybe then you'd know how I feel " verse
it discribes perfectly how i feel right now, i'm in love with this girl but she can't decide if she likes me or not

All Time Low – Remembering Sunday Lyrics 15 years ago
this song makes me cry whenever i listen to it now, a girl from my school killed herself on sunday and so many lines just seem to fit

He woke up from dreaming and put on his shoes
Started making his way past
Two in the morning
He hasn't been sober for days
(this is how i feel now, it's actually 2:07 am right now when i'm typing this, i just can't seem to sleep and i've just been out of it all week)

Leaning now into the breeze
Remembering Sunday, he falls to his knees
(pretty self explanitory, i just find myself crying at random moments whenever something reminds me of her and that day)

Forgive me, I'm trying to find my calling
I'm calling at night
(night is especially hard for me b/c it's when i found out about her suicide and i just generally think more at night)
I don't mean to be a bother
But have you seen this girl?
She's been running through my dreams
And it's driving me crazy, it seems
(i still have dreams where she's alive and it just drives me crazy because i know she's dead but my dreams seem so real a lot of the time)

Waking the neighbors, unfamiliar faces
He pleads though he tries
But he's only denied
Now he's dying to get inside
(when i first heard the news i hoped with all of my heart that she was still alive, but i was "only denied" the hope that she was still alive when i saw it in the newspaper)

Funny how it rained all day
I didn't think much of it then
But it's starting to all make sense
(this doesn't need explaining, just change day to night)


I'm not coming back
I've done something so terrible
I'm terrified to speak
But you'd expect that from me
(she never told us she was going to commit suicide, but sunday afternoon she just did, nobody knows why she did it)
I'm mixed up, I'll be blunt
Now the rain is just washing you out of my hair
And out of my mind
(i've just been totally out of my mind the past couple days, but eventually everyone will have to move on with our lives no matter how much we don't want to)
Keeping an eye on the world
From so many thousands of feet off the ground
I'm over you now
I'm at home in the clouds, towering over your head
(this probably describes her perspective on the world now)

R.I.P. Lyndsey 1993-2008

Snow Patrol – Spitting Games Lyrics 15 years ago
i can relate so much to this song...as a matter of fact it was just last year, Jessica if you're reading this i'm sorry for being so shy, and i hope i can make it up to you

Im far too shy to speak to you at school
You leave me numb and im not sure why
(exactly how i felt, i've always been the shy type and i never could talk to this girl)

I find it easier to sit and stare
Than push my limbs out to you right there
My heart is bursting in your perfect eyes
As blue as oceans and as pure as skies
(again, i can relate a lot to this verse, we sat almost right next to each other, she was one desk behind me to the left, and instead of working up the courage to talk to her, it was a lot easier to just sit there and think about her)

I struggle for the words, and then give up
My head's up with the birds in the t-hut
A little piece of mind that I know better
Than the plain disgrace of all my letters
(for me this relates to the last verse, i wanted to talk to her and tell her how i felt but i could never work up the courage to tell her, so i just kept on thinking about her)

But after that the floodgates opened up
And i fell in love with everyone i saw
(i'm kinda in this stage now, every girl i talk to i seem to fall in love with, i just can't help it)

so yeah, this song relates to pretty much every high school guy ever on the face of the earth

Eve 6 – Here's To The Night Lyrics 16 years ago
i can't listen to this song w/o crying, i know that it's about a one night stand but it means a lot more to me than that, i'm just a freshman in high school but i can already feel time slipping away from me

Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye
Tomorrow's gonna come too soon
(to me this is like my first year of high school, i've experienced a lot in this time and i'm sad that it's comming to an end, i can relate to every line, i've felt alive, i knew i was going to be sad when the year ending but i didn't know it was going to be like this, it's at the time of the year where everything is winding down and i'm saying goodbye to everyone, but i would gladly have a few more weeks of school just to spend time with everyone)

Put your name on the line along with place and time
Wanna stay not to go I wanna ditch the logical
Here's a toast to all those who hear me all too well
(i can relate this too with the feeling of ending the year and signing year books with the first line, the second line is me exactly right now, i never want this year to end even though i logically know it has to)

All my time is froze in motion
Can't I stay an hour or two or more
Don't let me let you go
Here's a toast to all those who hear me all too well
(this will be my last day, everything will seem to be frozen in time to me and i will want the day to be a few hours longer, i'll miss my friends and i won't want to leave them b/c i know a few of them are moving away over the summer and i won't see them again)

even though i'm only a freshman, i wan't this song to be played at my graduation, it describes me now, it will still describe me then
here's to the nights i felt alive, heres to the tears i knew i'd cry, here's to goodbye, tomorrows gonna come too soon, here's a toast to all who hear me all too well *raises a glass*

Krystal Harris – Supergirl Lyrics 16 years ago
i can relate a lot to this song, i help people all the time and sometimes sacrifice something myself, and it gives me a good feeling sometimes like the first verse, but like the chorus i feel like i'm alone a lot of the time and when someone is going to come and "save" me, like the second verse i feel like there is something missing and i need someone to share the happiness i feel but to also support me when i'm having problems, yeah, i relate a lot to this song, currently it's my theme song

Three Days Grace – Home Lyrics 16 years ago
this song relates a lot to me and my dad, a lot of the time he doesn't even act like i exsist, and a lot of the time when he does pay attention to me whatever i'm doing i'm not doing it right or good enough, i can't wait until i'm old enough to move out on my own

Vertical Horizon – You're A God Lyrics 16 years ago
i've just listened to this song again after a long while and it seemed to talk about excatly what i'm going through, there was a girl i was mean to last year and i found out at the end of last year that she liked me before i was mean to her, now this year i like her and she wants nothing to do with me, this song helped me realize in a way that even though i do think she's a god, i really should just let her go

I've got to be honest
I think you know
We're covered in lies and that's OK
(sometimes she acts like she doesn't hate me, and i try to hide my feelings, we're both lieing to each other about how we really feel, but we've managed to get along this year without any big conversations, and i think we're both fine with it)
There's somewhere beyond this I know
But I hope I can find the words to say

Never again no
No never again
(i feel that i could make things right again if i tried, but at the same time i want to tell her that i don't really want a major relationship with her because odds are we'd just break up and hurt each other again)

'Cause you're a god
And I am not
And I just thought
That you would know
(this describes how she thought of me last year, she considered me a god, but she thought i would know without her telling me, obviously i found out too late and the damage was already done)
You're a god
And I am not
And I just thought
I'd let you go
(this describes how i feel about her now, in my eyes she's still perfect, but i don't think anything good can come from a relationship between us and i realize that it would be best for the both of us if i could just let her go)

But I've been unable
To put you down
(i've tried letting her go before, but now that i realize i truly like her, it hurts just to think about having to live without her)
I'm still learning things I ought to know by now
(everytime i make a mistake in her eyes, i feel like i've learned something new that i should've known a long time ago)
It's under the table so
I need something more to show somehow
(she doesn't know that i like her now, so what i feel is "under the table", but if i ever want a relationship with her i'd have to show her that i've changed for the better)

Never again no
No never again
(this is like me telling myself that i won't make the same mistake twice with another girl, so that the next girl and i won't be hurt so bad if we break up)

Papa Roach – Scars Lyrics 16 years ago
I can completely relate to this song in my life right now:

I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
(this describes me perfectly, there is this girl that i liked a lot but she never saw us as more than just friends)

Drunk and I'm feeling down
and I just wanna be alone
I'm pissed cause you came around
Why don't you just go home
(whenever i think about her now i feel depressed, and when i see her in the hallway at school i wish that i'd never got to know her in the first place)
Cause you channeled all your pain
and I can't help you fix yourself
You're making me insane
(whenever she had problems with anything she came to me, and all i could do is try to help her feel better, but she never seemed to do anything about her problems)

I tried to help you once
Against my own advice
I saw you goin' down
But you never realized
That your drowning in the water
So I offered you my hand
Compassion's in my nature
Tonight is our last stand
(this is self-explanitory, i tried to help her but she never tried to fix her problems, but i tried to help her anyway because thats the kind of guy i am)

...Cause your drowning in the water
and I tried to grab your hand
and I left my heart open
but you didn't understand
but you didn't understand
GO. FIX. YOURSELF.
(i tried to help her, but after a while i gave up and just told her to try to fix her own problems)

I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life
(the way he sings this part sounds almost like i said it to her, also if anyone knows any songs that have parts like the above 3 lines of the song let me know)

Evanescence – Tourniquet Lyrics 16 years ago
this song is about suicide and finding god, and i know evenescence isn't a christain band, but the lyrics in this song obviously are chirstain

I tried to kill my pain
But only brought more (so much more)
I lay dying
And I'm pouring crimson regrets and betrayal
(a person tried to commit suicide, but it halfway failed and they're dying slowly, in their last moments they think back and regret doing it because of the pain it will cause their family, friends, ect...)

Am I too lost to be saved?
Am I too lost?
(singer is asking theirself if they've commited too many sins to be brought into heaven)

My god, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
My god, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
(singer is praying to god to forgive and save the person and bring them into heaven)

Do you remember me?
Lost for so long
Will you be on the other side
Or will you forget me?
(singer is asking god if he/she still remembers the singer because the singer has commited so many sins, and the singer asks god if he/she'll be waiting for them on the other side or if they'll be forgotten)

My wounds cry for the grave
My soul cries for deliverance
Will I be denied?
(the singer is in so much pain that they want to die, and their soul wants to be saved and go to heaven, the singer is asking if they've done too much evil to get into heaven)

Christ
Tourniquet
My suicide
(the singers last thoughts before they die, basicly asking christ to be the singers tourniquet and to save them)

Three Days Grace – (I Hate) Everything About You Lyrics 17 years ago
this song to me means a lot because its kind of like what the girl that sat behind me second period and i went through

I hate everything about you
Why do I love you??
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you?
(i hate her because she acts like she is better than everyone half of the time, yet at the same time she can be so caring that i can't help but love her)

Every time we lie awake
After every hit we take
(we argued sometimes and we both regreted it)
But I haven't missed you yet
Only when I start to think about it
(i don't think about her much so i don't miss her but when i start thinking about it i start missing her)

Only when I stop to think about you I know
Only when you stop to think about me do you know
(i think about her and i still think i hate her and she probably thinks the same about me)

I hate everything about you
why do I love you??
You hate everything about me
Why do you love me?
(despite the arguments we still love each other but we don't know why)

3 Doors Down – Kryptonite Lyrics 17 years ago
this song reminds me of a relationship between a guy and a girl:

I took a walk around the world to Ease my troubled mind
I left my body laying somewhere In the sands of time
I watched the world float to the dark Side of the moon
I feel there is nothing I can do, yeah
(the girl and the guy had an argument and it seemed to go on forever, they went to bed angry and the "dark side of the moon" is symbolism for his world turning upside down)

I watched the world float to the Dark side of the moon
After all I knew it had to be something To do with you
I really don’t mind what happens now and then
As long as you’ll be my friend at the end
(as he watched his world fall apart he knew it was the girl that caused it, he knows that they will continue to argue now and then but he hopes they will stay friends)

If I go crazy then will you still Call me Superman
If I’m alive and well, will you be There holding my hand
I’ll keep you by my side with My superhuman might...Kryptonite
(the guy wants to know since they are still friends, if he goes crazy from the arguing if she will still care for him, and if he stays fine will she still be there for him)

You called me strong, you called me weak, But still your secrets I will
keep
(during the good times he was her hero, during the bad she called him "weak" but he won't tell anyone about this because other people might influence their relationship for the worse)
You took for granted all the times I Never let you down
You stumbled in and bumped your head, if Not for me then you would be
dead
I picked you up and put you back On solid ground
(when the girl was having bad days, she took for granted that the boy was always there for her)

thats what i get out of the song anyway

Rascal Flatts – Life Is a Highway Lyrics 17 years ago
the lines "Through all these cities and all these towns,

Bowling for Soup – When We Die Lyrics 17 years ago
to me this song is about being able to start over, we all made mistakes but we have to try to get past them even if they were a long time ago and they hurt as bad now as they did then, because time continues to go one and none of us are going to live forever, and even when we die we may not get the chance to say "im sorry, i love you, please forgive me"

Nickelback – Breathe Lyrics 17 years ago
i agree with both the people that say that its about love and about a person wanting to be popular, some lines seem to have mixed meanings but this is what i get out of the song:

Two men
They started walking
Started talking 'bout better days
One says to the other
He'd do it all again
Seems I knew I would
(this describes a sence probably a few years after high school, where two friends meet again and talk about high school and good times they had, and the popular kid says that he'd do everything over, if he could, even though some of it probably isn't healthy or nice)

And now I found it
Found I adored it
I didn't want this
Somebody help me see
(the unpopular kid found popularity and found he liked it, but at the same time he never really wanted to be popular and he sees that being popular isn't all good)
Now I feel it
Feel that I've been there
I didn't need this
Somebody help me breathe
(he has done some mean things when he was popular and now that he's seen both sides he can't decide what to do and feels that he needs to take time to think things out)

Here we are again
Just face to facing
Each other another day
(still in the highschool flashback stage, or maybe thay got a job together that reminds them of their time in high school where the popular one and the unpopular one see each other everyday)
Who wins
Well who cares
It always ends up the same
Seems I knew I would
(the popular kid always has to do something mean to the unpopular kid because of peer pressure)

If I was them
Then I wanna be
What I see
(the unpopular kid sees the popular people and wants to be like them)
If I could pack my life in a moment
Wanna know do you want me to go
Gonna keep it all never ending
Never stop myself from pretending
That you always knew that I never could
(the unpopular kid wants to know if the popular kid wants him to leave him alone to end the cycle that happens where even though the popular kid is mean to the unpopular kid, they still are friends and the unpopular kid still wants to be popular)

All I ever really wanted was to be the same
Equal treatment never ever comes
And here we go again
(conversation between the two kids, the unpopular kid tells the popular kid that all he wanted was to be like him, but they never get to be treated the same)
All I ever really wanted was to be like you
So perfect
So worthless
If I could take it all back think again
I would
(the unpopular kid sees that being popular seems perfect but at the same time is worthless, so when he became popular he saw both sides and decided that he didn't like being popular)

i can also see it being about love however because i've been in kind of the same situation:

And now I found it
Found I adored it
I didn't want this
Somebody help me see
Now I feel it
Feel that I've been there
I didn't need this
Somebody help me breathe
(i'll tell this from the first person, i fell in love and i liked the feeling of being in love, but at the same time i didn't want to be in love so i need help to "breathe" because i have too much going through my mind)
Here we are again
Just face to facing
Each other another day
(the girl that i loved sat behind me in a class so we inevitabley had to see each other pretty much everyday)
Who wins
Well who cares
It always ends up the same
(i tried to get her to like me, but it always ended up the same that she never went out with me)

If I was them
Then I wanna be
What I see
(if I could be one of her friends i could be closer to her)
If I could pack my life in a moment
Wanna know do you want me to go
Gonna keep it all never ending
Never stop myself from pretending
That you always knew that I never could
(If i could become one of her friends i would do it in an instant, but everyday i tried to get her to like me, but she never did so it was neverending, i was pretending that i could get her to go out with me, and all of my friends knew that i never could get her to go out with me and i found out later that it always was that way)

All I ever really wanted was to be the same
Equal treatment never ever comes
And here we go again
(i wanted to be like her friends so she would like me, but "Equal treatment never ever comes", so i try to get her to like me again)

All I ever really wanted was to be like you
So perfect
So worthless
(she seemed so perfect, but wanting her to like me and go out with me seems so worthless now that i think about it because it probably wouldn't have worked between us)


i can see this song from both sides of view from both the popular people and falling in love view

Pilot – Magic Lyrics 17 years ago
this song is the perfect song for the summer, if you wake up early in the morning during the summer and go outside it does seem like magic

Never been awake
Never seen a day break
(if you've never been up early during the summer you never truly have seen the way the sun shines on things during the morning and how beautiful it looks)
Leaning on my pillow in the morning
Lazy day in bed
Music in my head
Crazy music playing in the morning light
(lots of people when they wake up during the summer just sit in bed for a while and listen to music or watch tv)

I love my sunny day
Dream of far away
Dreaming on my pillow in the morning
(i love being up early to see how beautiful it looks outside, but i also enjoy dreaming of far away places then waking up to the sun shineing through my window)

in short, this song is the perfect song for summer

Mika – Grace Kelly Lyrics 17 years ago
i have a completely different view of this song than most of you, this sounds a lot like something all of us have gone through at one point or another, we all want this one guy or girl to like us, so we try to be the kind of person that they like:

Do I attract you?
Do I repulse you with my queasy smile?
Am I too dirty?
Am I too flirty?
Do I like what you like?
(we all think like this at one point during a relationship, we are worried that we are too much of one thing or another and we wonder if we have anything in common with the person we are having a relationship with)

I could be wholesome
I could be loathsome
I guess Im a little bit shy
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you like me without making me try?
(the guy can be anything that the girl wants, yet she still doesn't just like him, he has to try to get her attention)

I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I try a little Freddie
Ive gone identity mad!
(he trys to act like diffrent people so she will notice him)

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
(the guy is telling the girl that he can be any kind of guy she wants him to be)
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
(he has to be almost every type of person to get her to like him)
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you walk out the door!
(the guy is saying that he is getting irritated that she doesn't like him and he would just like her to leave)

How can I help it
How can I help it
How can I help what you think?
(he feels that he has no control over what she thinks of him)
Hello my baby
Hello my baby
Putting my life on the brink
(he likes her so much that he might do something drastic if she doesn't like him)
Why dont you like me
Why dont you like me
Why dont you like yourself?
(she is insecure with herself so she doesn't go out with him)
Should I bend over?
Should I look older just to be put on the shelf?
(should he do exactly what she wants, and be exactly who she wants him to be, should he seem older to her so she will like him more just to be ignored later)

Say what you want to satisfy yourself
But you only want what everybody else says you should want
(she wants to do things to make her happy, but she goes and gets and does anything that is popular at the moment )

this is just my interpretation of the lyrics, probably not right, but thats what i think they mean

Backstreet Boys – I Want It That Way Lyrics 17 years ago
this is the way i see this song, it is more or less a discussion between a guy and a girls relationship and their differences:

You are, my fire
The one, desire,
Believe, when I say
I want it that way
(the guy is in love with the girl, he wants it to be like that where they love each other foreever)

But we, are two worlds apart,
Can't reach to your heart,
When you say,
That, I want it that way
(this is the girls point of view, she thinks that they are too different but whenever she tries to tell him this he doesn't listen to her)

Tell me why,
Ain't nothin' but a heartache,
Tell me why,
Ain't nothin' but a mistake,
Tell me why,
I never wanna hear you say,
I want it that way
(the first part is about the guy making a mistake and not listening to his girl, the second part is about the girl saying that things aren't perfect between them and they need to try to work things out instead of living like they are)

Am I, your fire?
Your one, desire,
Yes I know, it's too late,
But I want it that way
(the guys point of view again, he wants to know if the girl still loves him, they've already an argument by this point, but he thinks its for the better to get things out in the open)

Now I can see that we're falling apart,
From the way that it used to be, Yeah,
No matter the distance,
I want you to know,
That deep down inside of me...
(the guy can finally see that the way they were living wasn't the way they should've been, they were too different to get along so they broke up)

You are, my fire,
The one, desire,
You are (You are, You are, You are...)
(the guy wants the girl to know that he still loves her)

Don't wanna hear you say,
Ain't nothin' but a heartache,
Ain't nothin' but a mistake,
(Don't wanna hear you say),
I never wanna hear you say,
I want it that way
(the girl is telling the guy that she wants him to think of it more than just a heartache and that he lost his true love)

Tell me why,
Ain't nothin' but a heartache,
Tell me why,
Ain't nothin' but a mistake,
(last stages of the big argument, at this point the guy seems like he doesn't care anymore and just tells the girl that its just another heartache and he's going to go on with his life)

Tell me why,
I never wanna hear you say,
(Don't wanna hear you say),
I want it that way
(the girl still wants the relationship to work despite their differences)

Tell me why...
Ain't nothin' but a heartache,
Ain't nothin' but a mistake,
Tell me why,
I never wanna hear you say,
(Don't wanna hear you say it),
I want it that way
(their relationship is over, the girl wants to know why its just another heartache to him but they guy doesn't care and cuts her off, the guy knows the relationship is over because they are too different, but the girl still doesn't want him to say its over)

Backstreet Boys – I Want It That Way Lyrics 17 years ago
this is the way i see this song, it is more or less a discussion between a guy and a girls relationship and their differences:

You are, my fire
The one, desire,
Believe, when I say
I want it that way
(the guy is in love with the girl, he wants it to be like that where they love each other foreever)

But we, are two worlds apart,
Can't reach to your heart,
When you say,
That, I want it that way

Tell me why,
Ain't nothin' but a heartache,
Tell me why,
Ain't nothin' but a mistake,
Tell me why,
I never wanna hear you say,
I want it that way

Styx – Renegade Lyrics 17 years ago
this actually reminds me a bit of what happened to Jesus

Oh Mama, I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law
Law man has put an end to my running and I'm so far from my home
(back in ancient rome christianaty was outlawed, so Jesus probably was running from the law at times, and Jesus was a long way from Heaven)

The oh mama i can hear you cryin'. you're so scared and all alone.
(there is a debate about weither god is a man or a woman)
hangman is comin' down from the gallows and i don't have very long.
jig is up, the news is out
They finally found me
The renegade who had it made
(Jesus lived a good life and helped a lot of people)
Retrieved for a bounty
(when that one guy betrayed Jesus)
Never more to go astray
(Jesus was probably tempted by sin just like the rest of us)

Oh Mama, I've been years on the lam and had a high price on my head
(lam could refer to god and jesus asking him for guidence, and jesus did have a price on his head)
Lawman said 'Get him dead or alive' and it's for sure he'll see me dead
(they finally caught Jesus)
Dear Mama I can hear you cryin', you're so scared and all alone
Hangman is comin' down from the gallows and I don't have very long
(sounds a lot like jesus praying to god to give him comfort, and gallows could be like a metaphor)
The judge'll have revenge today
On the wanted man
(the revenge is that jesus cleaned us all of our sins)

thats just my theroy, its probably wrong but still, if you think about it it makes sense

Nickelback – Savin' Me Lyrics 17 years ago
this song describes a lot about me

Prison gates won’t open up for me
On these hands and knees I’m crawlin’
Oh, I reach for you
Well I’m terrified of these four walls
These iron bars can’t hold my soul in
All I need is you
Come please I’m callin’
And oh I scream for you
Hurry I’m fallin’
(i feel like i'm trapped and i can't escape, i need someone to help me escape and get back to the real world)

Show me what it’s like
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right
And I’ll show you what I can be
Say it for me
Say it to me
And I’ll leave this life behind me
Say it if it’s worth saving me
(i feel so depressed and so alone that i feel like i can't make good decisions anymore and i need help to decide right from wrong, i know i can get better but i need someone to tell me that i am worth being alive on this planet)

Heaven’s gates won’t open up for me
With these broken wings I’m fallin’
And all I see is you
(i feel like even god has rejected me and i need someones help to get back on the right path)
These city walls ain’t got no love for me
I’m on the ledge of the eighteenth story
And oh I scream for you
Come please I’m callin’
And all I need from you
Hurry I’m fallin’
(nobody cares anything about me so i'm considering suicide, but there is one person out there that can say "hold on, things will get better, just wait, i'll be there for you no matter what happens")

this song almost perfectly describes a graduation though, you leave your friends, parents, and teachers behind, and hope that they will be happy with whatever, wherever, and however they choose to be

Rascal Flatts – What Hurts The Most Lyrics 17 years ago
this song reminds me of a girl i loved, i never did tell her how i felt, so our relationship never went anywhere

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don't bother me
(yes its raining, but i'm not depressed about it)
I can take a few tears now and then and just let 'em out
I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though goin' on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend
I'm okay but that's not what gets me
(i can cry once in a while and be ok, and i can act like im ok, but theres one thing that i'm always thinking about)

What hurts the most was bein' so close
And havin' so much to say
And watchin' you walk away
(i wanted to tell you how i felt, but i never could bring myself to express my true feelings)
And never knowin' what could've been
And not seein' that lovin' you
Is what I was tryin' to do

It's hard to deal with the pain of losin' you everywhere I go
But I'm doing it
(you're always on my mind no matter where i go or what i do)
It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends
And I'm alone
(i see the people that we used to hang out with, and i pretend like im doing alright)
Still harder gettin' up, gettin' dressed, livin' with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade, give away all the words that I saved
In my heart that I left unspoken
(i wanted to tell you what i felt, but i didn't and now i have to live with that everyday that i'm alive)

Joe Nichols – I'll Wait For You Lyrics 17 years ago
this is what this song means to me, the first verse is about a sick woman and her husband is away on a trip somewhere, so she basicly says it's ok, i can hold on a little longer
the second verse is when the woman is getting sicker so they talk about the good times they had a long time ago
the third verse is about when the man gets to the hospital but he arrives just a little too late to see her before she dies, but she wrote a note saying that she loved him so much that she would wait outside of heaven for him so they could be together forever

Matchbox Twenty – Unwell Lyrics 17 years ago
as a person that is often depressed, i'll explain what this song means to me

All day
Staring at the ceiling making
Friends with shadows on my wall
(i don't have a lot of friends so i make friends with whatever i can)
All night
I'm hearing voices telling me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good
For something
(i often stay up late at night for some reason and i keep telling myself that i should get some sleep because tomorrow might be a good day)

Hold on
I'm feeling like I'm headed for a
Breakdown
I don't know why
(this could mean a nervous or an emotional break down where you just want to cry and have the world stop so you can think and figure things out)

(chorus)
I'm not crazy I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
(i might seem a little crazy, but there is more to me than what there seems)

I'm not crazy I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
(you might not care that i'm having issues but sooner or later you'll remember the old me and wonder what happened)

See me
Talking to myself in public
And dodging glances on the train
I know
I know they've all been talking 'bout me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think there must be something wrong
With me
(im worried that people are saying mean things to me behind my back so i try to avoid looking and talking to people)

Out of all the hours thinking
Somehow
I've lost my mind
(i've heard that its just in my imagination that people are making fun of me so many times that i just start to beleave it myself)

Talking in my sleep
Pretty soon they'll come to get me
They'll be taking me away
(i have no idea what this line is about)
