Mason's Top 5 Favorite Bands

I listen to a lot of different bands but I mainly listen to metal bands. I listen to metal bands because they have very inspirational and relative lyrics. Some of the lyrics saved my life in so many ways possible.

1. Bring Me The Horizon

I like this band the most because of their lyrics. They saved my life from almost attempting suicide.

2. Black Veil Brides

I like this band also because of their one song Knives and Pens. It's about Andy Biersack going through bullying in school for who he is. I can relate to that song because all my life I get bullied for what I am and how I act and also how I approach things in life.

3.Sleeping With Sirens

This band is a very inspirational band because of the one song Roger Rabbit what I got out of this song is it is saying that not everyone is going to like you,especially if you are just like the rest of the world,but you have to push that aside and find yourself and be different for anyone to love you. You have to grow up and try different things and find different people. And if you don't say what needs to be said no one will trust you and you will end up being hurt. Be confident and don't hide in the background and blend in. You have to move yourself. And BE YOU.

4. Falling in Reverse

5. Pierce The Veil

Never Say Never By The Fray.

This song is one of those special songs that can be interpreted many different ways according to what the listener is going through in his or her life. I love their new cd and this is, without a doubt, my favorite song from it. A lot of the posts before mine have made sense and I can definitely see where they got their ideas from but I have a different take on this song. I think it's about a guy and a girl who were in a relationship together, rather than being just friends, and things ended between them. Because they are both so scared of getting hurt again, they don't talk about getting back together or how they are still in love with one another. They fall in and out of love with each other as they try to patch up their relationship. The guy believes that they can make it and that they will be together again one day so he tells her to "Never say never." He tries to reassure her and tell her not to be afraid because he loves her and will always be there for her, especially when times are rough. He does all he can to convince her that they belong together but ultimately, it's up to her. His heart is in her hands so he tells her to not let him go. Don't break his heart and make him whole once again.

I am going through something extremely similar to the situation I see when I listen to this song. My girlfriend and I were together for over four years and she was the love of my life. I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her and I thought that she wanted all the same things I did. But somewhere along the road, she got scared and ended things between us. My heart has been broken for the past seven months and I want nothing more than to hold her in my arms again. I tell her that if she chose me, she wouldn't need to be afraid because, "I will be your guardian when all is crumbling. I'll steady your hand."

You Found Me By The Fray.

To me this song means so much. I struggled with depression and anxiety for 6 years, from ages 11 till 17 . I lost many friends, situations didn't work out, brutal teasing, and I felt very alone. I still have days where my anxiety or sad thoughts will come, but it's much easier for me to use my faith in God to combat it. The overall song is about that anger and envy feelings you get when God finally comes to help, but you wonder why it too so many years. Never realing the struggles you go through end up making your faith get stronger. Just like what Jesus did and took all the sins for us on the cross. Like the line "Where the West was all but won." When Jesus died, his hands on the cross represent his saving us and how far the East is from the West, his scarred hands.The girl in the 2nd verse represents the loved ones lost or gone from your life during this time. The ones who got you and could have helped you through this. It's actually a hope filled song, wrapped up in the feelings of anger at wanting God's grace and mercy sooner. Because the sinner was FOUND. He's just human and wanted it sooner. 

How To Save A Life By The Fray.

In my opinion, it's about mentoring a kid, maybe in the Big Brother/Sister program or maybe a niece or nephew or your own kid who is on drugs or having problems and doesn't know how to make the right decision. In this situation, you know there's a problem, but this kid maybe doesn't, and he will defend his actions to the death because it's the first real decision he's ever made on his own.

It's a tough situation, because if you cross the line and come across as too controlling, they will want to stay their course even more, but if you aren't stern enough, they won't respect you. The lines

"Lay down a list of what is wrong

The things you've told him all along

And pray to God he hears you"

show the very real and tragic fact that honestly, you cannot do anything about it even though you can see him making the wrong choice and you know how he is going to hurt himself. All you can do is pray that he realises his own mistakes, that he has listened to the things you've been saying to him his whole life to prepare him for this moment.

"As he begins to raise his voice

You lower yours and grant him one last choice

Drive until you lose the road

Or break with the ones you've followed"

Things are not going as planned, and the speaker is afraid of what will happen, but he knows it's absolutely crucial that he keep his cool or else drive the kid further into his problems. After this, the kid will make his own choice ("He will do one of two things He will admit to everything Or he'll say he's just not the same")

The next line, "And you'll begin to wonder why you came", further alludes to this futility.
this song is about a father and his son and his son is doing drugs 
"or break with the ones you've followed" that means that hes followed the drugs addicts and hes gonna break with them if he doesnt change his ways
if u read more of the lyrics it will all make sense. 
In my perspective there are alot of meanings to this song. but these are some things that I think its about heres one more thing I think this song means.
This song is about two people breaking up and its altogether a mess. its like...they want to be together but they have too many differences that they cant get past. "i wouldve stayed up with you all night...had i known how to save a life" reminds me of the fact that, even when you love someone so much, you really cant change who they are. and, obviously, this song shows that he cant save her from whats happening so the relationship just cant go on anymore.


thats in general.

but if you look real deep into the lyrics its pretty clear that there has to be some sort of drug incident involved. it was obviously written by the lead singer who is a recovered drug addict.

When Im Gone by 3 Doors Down.

I do agree with the suicide idea, but in my eyes, it has more to do with depression in general. Let me explain.

"There's another world inside of me", "secrets in this life that I can't hide"
Both of these seem to be about the actual depression.

There are various parts where light is referenced, or, more so, a lack of. His statement that he might be blind indicates that, yes, he is perhaps suicidal. But he still wants to find the light, and he's hoping that he's just blind.

The chorus seems to be directed at the person closest to him, likely a lover ("hold me"). He acknowledges that he may not be here much longer ("when I'm gone") and that if he does kill himself, it's "only for your good", that's why he'll "give up everything". But he doesn't seem to really want to kill himself, because he asks of whomever the chorus is directed at to "hold me when I'm scared", being when he is considering suicide.

I fully agree that the second verse, primarily "when your education x-ray cannot see under my skin" is about a therapist of some sort. Statistically, most people who are suffering with depression will not say anything to anybody, especially not someone they do not trust.

He repeats "maybe I'm just blind", seemingly as courage to move forward with his life.

This is just what I have interpreted based on my life experiences.

Bring Me The Horizon Go To Hell For Heaven's Sake

this song is who his band family and everyone felt when Oli had a drug addiction and that's way it say no one wants to see you witch means no one wanted to see Oli im burning down every bridge we made means who was ruining his relationship with everyone he knows. This is what i think the song is about.

Bring Me The Horizon Shadow Moses

I think this song is a song to those who've been bullied, who were that one person out of the group, the victim. It says basically, that we've finally given up, ' Can you tell from the look in our eyes? We're going nowhere. ' We're the hopeless, breathing in the world of the ignorant, rude, and stubborn. That is what I think the song is about.

Bring Me The Horizon Drown

The song is about the expectations in life that can grow too much bear, and about someone that could take that weight off your shoulders and help you back up.

Sleepwalking By Bring Me The Horizon.

I believe this song is about being stuck within the cycle of depression. At first he's so emotionally troubled, his body starts physically reacting to his stress.
The second verse is about what made him initially upset. He's remembering how things went wrong, and he's feeling guilty over the outcome. He also hates himself.

The third verse deals with emotionally numbness. Your psyche acts as if it's shutting down. It really does feel as if you're, 'sleepwalking' because being emotionally numb is like being stuck in a bad dream you can't awaken from, yet you're mentally conscious of everything around you. 

Fourth verse is the contemplation of suicide.

Fifth verse-he's analyzing his feelings and remembering why he started feeling bad in the first place.

Sixth verse-Still emotionally numb. He's also just, 'existing' by this point because he's already died on the inside.

Then the rest of the song deals with him wanting to find a reason to feel better. He's tired of feeling the way he does, but he can't snap out of his emotional turmoil. He wants, and needs help, but either doesn't know how to obtain or he simply can't seem to feel better because he's still stuck in the past over how things went wrong in his life.

Can You Feel My Heart By Bring Me The Horizon

this song is about how oli's drug addiction was getting worse as he sing the higher i get which means him getting high off drugs the lower i sing means he is sink lower with everyone he knows when he say im sorry brother so sorry love forgive me father i love you mother he is apologizing to his brother for ruin his friendship with him because of the drugs so sorry lover he is apologize to his love of his life forgive me father he is asking for his father to forgive him and i love you mother he is telling his mom he loves her. That is what I think the song '' Can You Feel My Heart'' is about.

Black Veil Brides In The End

I think it is about living your life to the fullest and not being afraid to die. The line "Who will tell the story of your life?" is saying that when you pass away, you will have someone to tell your story because you made something out of your life and did something for the world. It's like a song for motivation. Motivating you to be happy and live your life the way you want without having to be afraid of death.

Fashionably Late

“Fashionably Late” is a track poking fun at Ronnie’s adultery during his girlfriend Crissy Henderson’s pregnancy. They split up.

Austin Carlile Lead Vocalist for Of Mice&Men

1. 

   Austin Robert Carlile is an American musician from Pensacola, Florida. Graduated from Lehigh Senior High School. He was the lead vocalist for the former band Attack Attack! and is currently the lead vocalist of the metalcore band Of Mice & Men.He was born on September 27, 1987.

For All Those Sleeping Follow My Voice

I think this song is about following your dreams and to be who you want to be but, it can be hard to find yourself and your dreams because you have to look hard for it and it might not be there.

Of Mice&Men Second And Sebring

The song was about Austins mother, who passed away from Marfan Syndrome when he was 17,the song was named after the streets he lived on when she passed away.

Of Mice&Men This Ones For You

The song tells a story of how a boy needs

the young love of a woman he has met,how she is something inspiring and dazzling,and he cant settle for anything but her. Its based on the story by William Shakespeare ''Romeo and Juliet''. That is what I think the song is about.

Pierce the Veil Caraphernelia

I think the song "Caraphernelia" is a about a boy who is in a relationship, the girlfriend cheated and now
the relationship is dying, and he has met someone new & had a fling & now he cant forget the new girl. 

Sleeping with Sirens Do it Now, Remember it Later

The song means doing what you want and being free from all people that say you can't do this and that. It's about living and doing whatever because you have the right to. It's the only life you get so live it to the fullest and forget rules sometimes. I also think this song is about being free to have fun and be you. In the music video they're doing things that they see as fun and the news people are calling them "hood rats" and Hooligans and I think this song is saying that you should just live in the moment and stop thinking about the future..this the title "Do it now, Remember it later.

Pierce the Veil Bulletproof Love

The meaning that i think of the song is that he is reminiscing about a girl he used to go out with whom he loved, and now he's alone and feels sort of depressed, to the point where he feels like hurting himself because he doesn't think he can go on without her love and he misses her and he never stopped loving her, but she did so she tried blaming the whole situation on him so she could make the break-up easier on her conscious, so she was trying to trick him into feeling like the reason for the break-up when it was really her fault.He tried his hardest to tell her that they could make it work*tear my voice apart*

But she just had no feelings for him so he was just trying to make it work with someone who quiet frankly didn't want it to work out. *Scream at the drunken moon*. so there was nothing he could do, but accept the fact that it was over, but he wasn't capable of doing that. So the whole grieving process repeats itself day after day.

Of course you could just say as the person said above it's self explanatory and basically is about a guy who misses a girl, but there's a whole story that you're just scrapping which i felt i should tell you all about, this is my opinion on what the lyrics mean of course.
