Random Songs.
So I've been sound tripping for the past few days. These are mostly old (90's+2000ish?) songs, mainly alternative rock and some 2005ish++ pop that are actually insert songs of the dramas I've watched. It seems the only way I'll ever be back in the English-speaking world is through music, but even then I won't be updated.

My Remarkable Song Line
My interpretation of the song-- ish. roughly.
Like A Stone; Audioslave
I sat in regret of all the things I've done, for all that I've blessed and all that I've wronged
So maybe I'm reading too much into the song, but I feel it's very spiritual in a sense. Talks about life and death and how what you do in this life connects to what happens to the next, then cue the chorus, which somehow talks about someone waiting for his/her judgement for his/her deeds.
Best of You; Foo Fighters
Are you gone and on to someone new? Is someone getting the best of you?
This song has always given me the feeling of being "the other person" when you're in a relationship. When you love someone truly and you go unappreciated and are taken advantage of, you start to wonder if someone else can make the best out of the other person come out, and why you can't (thus the question 'Is someone getting the best of you?'), especially after an inevitable breakup. But you really can't stop loving the person even after everything's over.
Jumper; Third Eye Blind
Everyone's got to face down the demons, maybe today we can put the past away
Anti-suicide song, definitely. Harrr. But in a sense it's about telling someone important that people always get caught up in the expectations set for them by others, and that by building a facade people normally try to uphold the image that their environment labels them to be. But even though sometimes we go too far and think we can't be saved from our acts, some people will always understand and try to bring us back, as long as we let them help us.
Hallelujah; Imogen Heap
Love is not a victory march, it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
First heard this on the season 3 finale of The O.C., where Marissa Cooper dies in the arms of Ben McKenzie (such an American series ex-junkie). I'm amused at the many Biblical references this song has, and how they're set in contrast to the composer's view and experiences about love. The words make such good tragedies out of excerpts of David's and Samson's stories. My preferable interpretation would be the power that love possesses to change people, and how it holds such a big part of us that we would do a lot of things for love that on normal days we really wouldn't.
View from Heaven; Yellowcard
You won't be coming back and I didn't get to say goodbye
Basically it's saying you remember someone who's passed on and how you really miss spending time with that person, just in very a lively tune. There's a tinge of regret on not being able to say goodbye, and the ever-wishful thinking that you could join him/her up in heaven, but you'll go and move on with all your memories with the person because you know he/she's watching you from heaven.
Non-believer; La Rocca
Cause I'm a non-believer, but I'm not the only one
From Season 4 of One Tree Hill, where Lucas Eugene Scott gets into an accident and P. Sawyer tries to make him listen and come back from coma; the song is apt for Peyton's pleas, asking for death (and/or circumstance, if the song is used in another context) to take a non-believer, instead of taking someone who doesn't deserve the fate. It's ironic, asking for hope and salvation from the hardship when you actually don't believe in such things.
Pieces; Sum41
If you believe it's in my soul, I'd say all the words that I know just to see if it would show; I'm trying to let you know that I'm better off on my own
Well, I'm a weird girl who likes alternative rock as much as I patronize boybands (Western and Japanese/Taiwanese). Yet another song about trying hard to please others only to realize that it's worthless; in the end what matters is being yourself and not feeling empty and a shell of your 'image'. But I think there is some struggle here, like trying to change for someone you consider dear to you, but you can't and you choose to give that person up rather than change yourself, and well, the other person is hurting but there's really no other choice but to let go.
**now that I'm done with that, let's go back to school stuff. :)
