It's been a long time coming.Should we leave it there - Or prove that we could fight?
I have a playlist called "Second Heartbeat"... they are all sort of sensual sounding - not necessarily in the lyrics, just in the music itself. However, if you listen to the lyrics and analyze the meaning, they can take on a whole different spin. Again, here is a huge example of how music can mean different things for people, or even different things for the same person in different circumstances.
Kings of Leon "Closer" might seem like it stands out among the others... but it's amazing. The lyrics are incredibly intriguing. Someone best described them shortly in this way:
"These lyrics are insane. They're all about how he's so unsure of how she REALLY feels about him. He's bled for her and will over and over again..even if it's getting old. he loves her so much...but he can't believe that her way of loving is real. He compares them to each other and feels she's not into it as much as him. He can't accept that she can love as deeply, only in her own stormy way."
Kings of Leon - "Closer"
"Stranded in this spooky town Stoplight is swaying and the phone lines are down Floor is crackling cold She took my heart, I think she took my soul With the moon I run Far from the carnage of the fiery sun Driven by the strangle of vein Showing no mercy I'd do it again Open up your eyes You keep on crying Baby I'll bleed you dry Skies are blinking at me I see a storm bubbling up from the sea And it's coming closer And it's coming closer You shimmy-shook my boat Leaving me stranded all in love on my own Do you think of me Where am I now Baby where do I sleep Feels so good but I'm old Two thousand years of chasing taking its toll And it's coming closer And it's coming closer And it's coming closer And it's coming closer"
Joshua Radin - "In Her Eyes"
"Settle down, you just met her tonight Don't allow the ones before to make you lose sight The past is the past Leave it all behind You've been given this chance for tomorrow You just saw an angel fall from the skies In her eyes you see the morning And you know there's no ignoring her now And she's standing there White dress, flower in her hair You just stare and watch the light dance on her shoulders bare Past is past Leave it all behind You've been given this chance For tomorrow And you just saw an angel that falls from the skies In her eyes you see the morning And you know theres no ignoring her now How to conserve this Do you deserve this You never know And now look one last time She's now the past time She's taken your soul You just saw an angel fall from the skies In her eyes you see the morning And you know there's no ignoring her now Cause you just saw an angel fall from the skies In her eyes you see the morning And you know there's no ignoring her now"
Band of Horses - "No One's Gonna Love You"
"It's looking like a limb torn off Or all together just taken apart We're reeling through an endless fall We are the ever-living ghost of what once was But no one Is ever gonna love you more than I do No one's gonna love you more than I do
And anything to make you smile It is a better side of you to admire But they should never take so long Just to be over then back to another one But no one is ever gonna love you more than I do No one's gonna love you more than I do But someone they could of have warned you When things start splitting at the seams and now The whole thing's tumbling down Things start splitting at the seams and now If things start splitting at the seams and now It's tumbling down hard Anything to make you smile You are the ever living ghost of what once was I never want to hear you say That you're better off or you liked it that way Cause no one Is ever gonna love you more than I do No one's gonna love you more than I do But someone They should have warned you When things start splitting at the seams and now The whole thing's tumbling down Things start splitting at the seams and now If things start splitting at the seams and now It's tumbling down, hard"

"Pretty lady Come here baby, I just wanna love your body right Thinking maybe I can go crazy, yeah yeah yeah Until the morning light Girl the way you flaunt it Those hips flow like water Dip it low, I'll watch it This love hits like rocketships from outer space I'm in the highest place with you

Panama - "Always"
"Always, I'll remember you Slow down so I can follow you And you, such a fearless soul Disarmed me by truth and broke my mold
Always, I'll remember you Slow down and try to tell the truth And I know, I'm just a coward when it comes to love Disarmed by words like an old wive's tale Goodbye, my deeper child It's time to take down your barricades And follow your own path now Always I'll remember you Slow down, and try to tell the truth Always, I can recall you Can you slow down so I can follow you? Deep down, you said I'm a coward when it comes to love Deep down, your words changed my mold Deep down, you said I'm a coward when it comes to love Take down your barricades and changed my mold"
Shy Girls - "Second Heartbeat"
"Had enough conversation I don’t want to hear your pleas no more So much indignation How am I supposed to sleep? ‘Cause I finally, finally Conquered all the falsities I’m moving on now I won’t have to see your face around
I’m not gonna wait for you to change when you want to In a second heartbeat I’m not listening to you spin like I used to In a second heartbeat So much still to say But not enough time to waste on you So many holes to fill, ways to give But not enough time to waste on you ‘Cause I finally, finally Conquered all the falsities I’m moving on now I won’t have to see your face around I’m not gonna wait for you to change when you want to In a second heartbeat I’m not listening to you spin like a used to In a second heartbeat I’m not gonna wait for you to change when you want to In a second heartbeat I’m not listening to you spin, I’m not In a second heartbeat ‘Cause I finally, finally Conquered all the falsities I’m moving on now I won’t have to see your face around"
Susie Suh - "Here With Me"
"Caught in the riptide I was searching for the truth There was a reason I collided into you Calling your name in the midnight hour Reaching for you from the endless dream So many miles between us now But you are always here with me
Nobody knows why Nobody knows how and This feeling begins just like a spark Tossing and turning inside of your heart Exploding in the dark Calling your name in the midnight hour Reaching for you from the endless dream So many miles between us now But you are always here with me Oh inside me I find my way Back to you Back to you Calling your name in the midnight hour Reaching for you from the endless dream So many miles between us now But you are always here with me Two words In your hands In your hearts It's whole universe You are always here with me"
Barcelona - "Fall In Love"
"We've been on for a minute No more feeling alone We're trying hard not to bruise it I said if forever's gonna last then We'd better find the same direction I've been gone for a minute I've been out on the road And the night got me thinking Thinking about lying in bed in the dark in the warm and we're naked
[Chorus] I want you for so long Tell me is it so wrong Even if we fall in love Fall in love I don't wanna hold you down dear Trying to make it so clear Hoping that we fall in love Fall in love It's getting hard not to take it I wanna ask but I don't But it's time for me to face it Keep telling myself Run away, run away, run away Don't chase it Don't give up on me, baby When I stumble along When I act a little crazy Remember my love for you Won't fade, won't fade You keep it blazing [Chorus] I want you for so long Tell me is it so wrong Even if we fall in love Fall in love I don't wanna hold you down dear Trying to make it so clear Hoping that we fall in love Fall in love When you hold on to me When you let me in You better know that I got you Under my skin Oh you got me restless I can't sleep alone You better be waiting 'Til I get home [Chorus] I want you for so long Tell me is it so wrong Even if we fall in love Fall in love I don't wanna hold you down dear Trying to make it so clear Hoping that we fall in love Fall in love"
The Dunwells - Communicate
"It's been a long time Since I left you there I still feel the cold hands in mine And there were good times we will leave them there
Course the warmth of these hands of mine I said let don't go I said let don't go
We were always on the run We waited for this moment just communicate We took this all for granted Should we leave this where we walked Just communicate
Now there were good times We just left them there Would have felt your hand slip from mine
It's been a long time coming Should we leave it there Or prove that we could fight
We were always on the run We waited for this moment Just communicate
We took this all for granted Should we leave it where we walked Please communicate
I said let don't go I said let don't go I said let don't go I said let don't go
We were always on the run We waited for this moment Just communicate
We took this all for granted Should we leave this where we walked Please communicate
We were always on the run We waited for this moment it will be okay
We took this all for granted Should we leave this where we walked Please communicate
Please communicate
I should let you go, you should let me now
I should let you go, you should let me now
I should let you go, you should let me now
I should let you go, you should let me now
I should let you go, you should let me now"
(Please don't let me go...)

"[Intro] (Ooh, ooh) (Ooh-ooh-ooh) (Ooh, ooh) [Verse 1] You're my desire And this, I always know You've been admired And do you see me glow?
[Pre-Chorus] Take me as I am Take me as I am Don't want to be left alone Take me in your arms Take me in your hands Love me like we used to know [Chorus] Am I seeing? Am I feeling now?

Jessie Ware - "Say You Love Me"
"Say you love me to my face I need it more than your embrace Just say you want me, that's all it takes Heart's getting torn from your mistakes 'Cause I don't wanna fall in love If you don't wanna try, But all that I've been thinking of Is maybe that you're mine Baby it looks as though we're running out of words to say And love's floating away Just say you love me, just for today And don't give me time 'cause that's not the same Want to feel burning flames when you say my name Want to feel passion flow into my bones Like blood through my veins 'Cause I don't wanna fall in love If you don't wanna try, But all that I've been thinking of Is maybe that you're mine Baby it looks as though we're running out of words to say And love's floating away Won't you stay?! Won't you stay?! Slowly, slowly you run for me, But do you know me at all Some one told me love controls everything But only if you know! 'Cause I don't wanna fall in love (No no no no) If you don't wanna try, 'Cause all that I've been thinking of Is maybe that you're mine (You're mine) 'Cause I don't wanna fall in love If you don't wanna try, But all that I've been thinking of Is maybe that you're mine Baby it looks as though we're running out of words to say And love's floating away Won't you stay Won't you stay"
