We Came As Romans- An Ever-Growing Wonder




This song is saying that we can be whatever we want to be, by saying "I am the man in the mirror" the singer means that he is himself and he can be whatever he wants to be. When they say the thing about empty glasses filling each other he means if you put someone down, it's like making them an empty glass and they cant make others feel better when they already feel bad about themselves. Therefore creating a chain of hate. They want people to give compliments to fill another person's glass. That way they can "Fill another person's glass" by complimenting them. Therefore making the world a better place. This is just what I think though.

Paramore- That's What You Get

I think this song is about being in love with someone even though your head tells you they're going to hurt you in the end. Your heart wins over your head and eventually you get hurt, but in a strange way people enjoy the pain because at least they feel something.

Bring Me The Horizon- Alligator Blood





When I heard this song, I believed it to be about two people misbehaving or acting dangerously together, like in "Russian Roulette",and on the outside appearing to not really care about the consequences. But they keep their "secrets" close to them about the situation. I think the "Alligator Blood" refers to the narrator being cold-blooded, either emotionless, lacking courage, or both. Because of this, he (or whoever) can't keep his secret hidden very well, "My alligator's blood is starting to show..." He really is feeling suicidal because he can't seem to live life "Show me how to live...help me find a way..." but he thinks in the end he can't be saved, so he tells his friend to "Leave before it's too late.." but there is still that doubt of whether his friend can make it: "Tell me who will make it out alive." So basically, they spiralled out of control. That is my take on the song.

Bring Me The Horizon- A Lot Like Vegas


The first time i heard it and looking at the lyrics now i think it has a romantic interpretation, namely: its a song about running away with someone you love and the fears of the gamble you are making by doing so.
its also about running away before they stagnate and their love dies as with the end of the song.

Bring Me The Horizon- It Was Written In Blood



The song ''It Was Written In Blood'' is about russian poet Sergei Aleksandrovich Esenin's suicide note which he wrote in his own blood. They pretty much copied the note word for word except for the "It was written in blood" part. Also, "Like roses we blossom then die. We fall apart" is theirs. Most of the rest is just his suicide note with some repeated lines.

I Prevail- My Heart I Surrender



I think this song is about a man who loves a woman that doesn't even know he exists but yet he still gives his heart to her in hopes that she will love him too.

Twenty One Pilots- Stressed Out

My thoughts are just that Tyler is addressing how when we were young things were easier and we did not have the surprisingly huge amount of adult worries we do. His stress could be seen when he opens with insecurities about the music he is making. Then he addresses how when he is hit with nostalgia he is just reminded that between 'student loans' and 'tee houses' we would want the childhood life. The rocket ship part is just showing how we are constantly reminded that we have to be self sufficient above all else. And I think he uses the deep voice (I think it is supposed to be blurry face?) to help the lyrics really sink in.

A Day To Remember- All Signs Point To Lauderdale



I love this song absolutely in my opinion I think its about wanting to move on to bigger and better things. You've been with that special someone but now things arent working out and no matter what you try to do things just dont seem to get better. You wanna leave the place that is giving you so many problems. You want to run away from your troubles but stand with the one you love because you know you both and meant for something much bigger. So Im going to keep searching for that place where I fit in. Until then I'll stay here in this town I hate...to be with you

Falling In Reverse- Tragic Magic


Ok so this song has a couple meanings.when he says 'i dug a hole,ten miles wide,so i can throw all of you inside' hes talking about etf. When he says 'your such a dumb fuck,you need to shut up,you bring a picture of me everytime you get your hair cut imposter hes talking about craig and how craig looked like Ronnie when Ronnie was in jail and also that craig needs to shut up about all the crap he was saying when Ronnie was in jail.the first verse is all about how he almost died becuz of drug overdose.he basicaly turns tragedys into melodies.and before you go thinking oh Ronnies a arrogant,selfish,conceded,selfcenterd bastard. Note that he wrote this song in jail so he still had mixed emotions.

Eminem- Sing For The Moment

Eminem always seems to tell it like it is. Particularly on 'The Eminem Show' which is a lot more mature than his previous albums. 'Sing For The Moment' is about taking every chance, i think. Eminem's expressing his viewpoint and this song opened my mind to his world and the way he see's things. He handles criticism well in that he channels all the energy it gives him into his music and it's all fuel for his fire. 
I think he's a clever lyricist. This song's almost like a 'two fingers up' to the media which can be narrow-minded. Society is too quick to judge people like Eminem. I can see why some people idolize him.

Eminem- Till I Collapse


This song is about not giving up. It is used as a motivator, especially with the lyrics at the very beginning. When he mentions those rappers on his "list" - Reggie (Redman), Jay-Z, Andre, Jadakiss, Kurupt, Nas, and then him - he is COMPLIMENTING them, not insulting them. Eminem mentions right after that when he doesn't make this list, it doesn't bother him because people are very envious of him. Ultimately, he says so many people have a damn problem with him. Thias is what I think the song is about.

Eminem- I Need A Doctor

I think that this song is about Eminem trying to get Dr. Dre's career out of a metaphoric coma so he can finish Detox because he feels grateful for all the stuff that Dr.Dre has helped with during his career. In Dre's verse, thanks Eminem for being there through his stuff times (like the death of Dre's son)

Eminem- Talking 2 Myself

good song, not really the best hook. good explanation of the last few years i agree that encore relapse weren't eminem's best works but he still had incredible songs on both those albums and i don't want him to be too hard on himself because he hasn't put out an album that isn't listenable to. maybe if the whole album was "ass like that" he would need to apologize. a whole album without accents is awesome.

Eminem- The Way I Am

I will admit his lyrics aren't deep. But that's not a bad thing. He says what he feels and doesnt try to cover it up with fancy shmancy philosophical crap. No one ever said they were rebellious by buying his cd...I dont know where you got that from. If other bands dont get the recognition they deserve, I dont see how that's linked to Eminem. Don't use him as a scapegoat like the rest of the closedminded public.

Eminem- My Mom

This song is about Eminem being the victim of Munchausen's Syndrome by proxy*. He has mentioned it in many other songs ("Cleaning Out My Closet" comes to mind) and has talked about it in interviews. It's an extremely straightforward song. He begins it by stating that he knows people are probably tired of hearing about his mom, but that he wants to tell the story of how he became hooked on valium as a kid. He goes on to describe his mother poisoning him, his teachers noticing the fact that he seemed medication, the fact that it gave him stomachaches. In the chorus, he is realizing he has become her, essentially - a drug addict.

Eminem- Mockingbird

This song is really emotional, and it's the fact that he can make these kinds of songs and put real emotion behind his music that makes him the awesome artist that he is. Also, I think those last few lines are not only appropriate but vital to the song. Yes, it's a sweet song, but the song is about hardships the family has had to deal with, and Eminem is basically saying, look kids, I love you, I know things have been rough, but I will ALWAYS be there for you. and I will ALWAYS do ANYTHING for you. And if you look at the things he has done in real life for his daughter, you'll see it's true.

Eminem- Like Toy Soldiers




The song is basically about the rap wars and how much the danger of being hurt or killed by your rivals is highly possible. Eminem sings a little about most of his feuds with multiple artists and the video is just what could possibly happen to someone from his crew due to all of the fighting between the groups. The person that dies in the video actually dies 2 years later after the song was made. He was shot in a bar after shooting someone over a game of pool.

Eminem- Not Afraid


this song is about how he's was feeling depressed, but he was able to pull himself out of his slum and he's telling his story of how he did it. He know he will never have it fully figured out. "This black cloud still follows me around" he knows it will always follow him around, but instead of of it letting it get the better of him (him being trapped in his own hell) he's gonna fight (he's a fighter) until he get out of his slump and is feeling good and a little less insane. he's not afraid, fear is a powerfully emotion especially if you let it control you. Eminem is really married to the game, his gift is a curse as he said, but he's putting that away he lost him self and found his way back. He went through his own "Recovery". He's helping the people who've been down this road he went on, the people who are blessed with curses, the people who are depressed, or what ever there reason for fighting (for a loved one) he's letting you know he's on your side and that your not alone. "Holla if you feel like you've been down the same road." He writes these songs for the listener,so as the listener enjoy.

Eminem- Hailies Song

This song is so sweet it shows his emotions for his daughter and just how much he loves her and how noone understands him but when he has his daughter with him it makes shit go away cause hes like his kryptonite this song makes me cry cause its so sweet.

Eminem- Headlights (Feat. Nate Ruess)

Im pretty sure that this song is an apology to his mom. He is telling her that he regrets writing badly about her in another song of his, Cleanin' out my closet (that he deleted from his track) where he called his mother a few names. So I'm coming home tonight

Well no matter what the cost ... And I was not afraid to die

this part was him technically saying that he wants to come home, no matter what the consequence is. All in all, this song is one of my favourites and I just learned all this information from the lyrics as well as some research. Just wanted to share it.
