SUMMARY

READING Between the LINES

The Song is about Robert, a cowboy acting kid who found a gun is his cold loving father's closet. He's lost his reasoning, and took that gun and chased the kids who used to pick on him.

Reading Beyond the LINES

The song is about Robert, a confused kid. He doesn't know what's right from wrong, and he feels so unloved by his father. He was always so observant, that one day he discovered about his father's secret that cracked him open. All the pain everyone inflicted on him and all the lack of attention by his father made him burst out into anger. And he's gonna throw all his anger to all the other kids who he envies the most, them with functional parents, and them with bright futures ahead of them. Unlike himself.

Interpretation of Lady Gaga's song "You and I"

Background

Lady Gaga had an on-and-off, on-and-off again relationship with Luc Carl, who owns a bar, and is a bartender in Nebraska. They've been together for six years until Lady Gaga got her break to be this ultimate pop star, and she had to let him go.

Lady Gaga wrote this song because of a dare. Someone dared her to write a hit song in ten minutes. And so she did.

Summary

This song is about leaving someone for something more special and when you've gone so far, you realize how you have been with the most important thing in the world and so you turn back. You turn back to the one you left, hoping and wishing there's still something to return to/ to welcome you back. The song is really open-ended, it really doesn't say if they got back together. But It says in the end that there's "something about just knowing when it's right". It somehow entails how you know you two are for each other, and you may not be together now, one day you will be together, Because you know that what you have is right.

Interpretation of Amy Winehouse's song "Tears Dry on Their Own"

Amy Winehouse - Tears Dry On Their Own by AmyWinehouse

Summary

This beautiful song is about loving someone who doesn't love you back, or a bad romance. And the hard thing about this song's story is that the person she loves is using her feelings for him to take advantage of her. She regrets everything that she's done with him but whenever they're together she just forgets everything. She feels that love is being foolish. And If she's gonna be a fool, better be fool for the one she loves. But in the latter part of the song, she decides to choose herself. She left him. It was painful for her, yes. But she's looking forward to finding her mr. right.

Interpretation of Coldplay's "Viva La Vida"

Viva La Vida=Long live the Life

Summary

Reading Between the Lines

The song is about someone who used to be powerful. He had everything in his hand, and it made people hate him. He used everything in his power to keep his position which made him change. And when he made a single but huge mistake, everyone was waiting for his beheading and he lost everything he owned. And when he lost everything, all that he could have is his faith. He used all his vacant time ( which is all day, since he has nothing to do anymore) worshiping and hearing preachers and he became religious.

A classic story of Richest to Rags and finding salvation in religion.

Reading Beyond The Lines

This is a story about death. A person believes he has everything going good in his life, and when he died he was shaken, and everything bad he has done flashed to him and he realized all the bad thing he has done. And for the last seconds before facing St. Peter, he's trying to be religious and all but everything's too late now, and he just feels like St. Peter wont allow him to enter God's kingdom.

Hence the title, Viva La Vida=Long Live the Life
Live your life with a Godly purpose because you never know when your time will come.

Interpretation of Green day's song "21 guns"

Summary

The song is about fighting a good fight, but not the fights unworthy of fighting for. You only got one life, and just one 21 gun salute, avail of it. Live your life an honorable life and give up the petty things.

You should know what/who you are living for. Live for yourself. If you're living for someone else, what will happen to you if that person leaves you? And you can't run to your family and friends anymore because they've already warned you of that predicament, and running to them would only mean eating your pride and proving them right. You'll just be alone. And all you'd be are ruins. Ruins of what you and your significant other used to be.

Summary

Reading between the lines

This song is about a girl who met this foreign guy online, and then fell in love with him. She experienced things with him that she has never even thought would happen to her and made her want to leave everything she has in her country, just to be with him.

Reading beyond the lines

This song is about loving someone who people think is out of your league. But you love that someone so much that you are willing to lose everything that you have and don't mind everything that people say about that person because you know that you love that person. And you're sure that that person loves you too. And you feel like everything is magical,mystical and very out of this world. That is how you feel when you're really in love, when the words and adjectives in the world cannot describe how it feels like.

Being in LOVE with someone is light years away from being in a relationship with someone.

Interpretation of Christina Perri's song "Jar of Hearts"

The song is very straight forward with its meaning, compared to Lady Gaga's other songs which are embellished with a lot of metaphors. Love yourself. Have faith in yourself. Accept yourself because you were born that way. And you were born in God's likeness, therefore you are perfect.

Interpretation of My Chemical Romance's song "Teenagers"

Summary

The song is a song of a hurt persona. He has been maltreated as a teenager. He was called names, bullied, adults always say that there are things wrong about him and how his aspirations to be a famous rock star is impossible. But he didn't listen to them. He used all the pain they brought to him and used it to strive for his aspirations. And look at where he is now, he is very successful. And where are those people who treated him bad?

Truly the dream of every teenager.

Interpretion of Far East Movement's song "Like a G6"

I

"Poppin bottles in the ice, like a blizzard
When we drink we do it right gettin slizzard
Sippin sizzurp in my ride, like Three 6
Now I'm feelin so fly like a G6
Like a G6, Like a G6
Now I'm feelin so fly like a G6"

(Line 1) Popping bottles in the ice- shows an image of oppening bottles in an ice bucket

Like a blizzard- could mean that their drinks are as cold as a blizzard or that their drinks are so many that is figuratively raining with cold beverages....Or it could mean both...that they have a lot of very cold drinks...

(Line 2) They don't just drink casually, they drink to get intoxicated(Slizzard)

IV

"Hell Yeaa
Drink it up, drink-drink it up,
When sober girls around me, they be actin like they drunk
They be actin like they drunk, actin-actin like they drunk
When sober girls around me actin-actin like they drunk"

Verse III shows how high he thinks of himself that girls wouldn't drink but would act all wild to impress him. But if he knows they're just pretending, why would he let them do those things? talk about ego huh!

Interpretation of Lady Gaga's song " Edge of Glory"

Summary

The song speaks to me of how it is to be a witness to the last moments in the life of the person you love the most. And she's not just a witness, she's a companion, and a lover.

Edge=End/border/limit

Glory=Life

Edge of Glory= Final moment in Life

Research:

"One of the songs on the album that is truly one of my favorites, it's called 'Edge of Glory' and it's kind of a sad story. Sorry to be a downer. But my grandpa died about five months ago, and my dad and I were going to say goodbye to him at the hospital, and I got out a big thing of agave tequila and my dad sat next to me at the piano and we started to doing shots back and forth, and I wrote 'Edge of Glory' on the piano and my dad and I cried. The song's about your last moment on Earth, the moment of truth, the edge of glory is that moment right before you leave the Earth. So that song can be played on the piano, but it's actually set to this giant, huge, techno rock, Springsteen-esque dance beat. I actually had Clarence Clemons from the E Street Band come in and play saxophone on it. It's fucking beautiful."

Interpretation of Katy Perry's song "Peacock"

Peacocking is a male move to dress up to drag attention from a mate, like when male peacocks look for female mates.

I

"I wanna see your peacock, cock, cock
Your peacock, cock
Your peacock, cock, cock
Your peacock ,cock"

Verse 1: [Peacock- a bird known for it's beautiful fan-like tail that it uses to find a mate/partner

cock-(cocky) a description for an overly confident person]

- This verse (for me) means that a she is invoking him to make a move on her, show her a bit of cockiness/confidence. Show her that you're interested in her.

II
"Word on the street
You got something to show me, me
Magical, colorful, Mr. Mystery
I'm intrigued for a peek
Heard it's fascinating"

(Line 1,2) She's heard that he's got a "thing" for her.

(Line 3) [magical. colorful- Love can't be described with words, in the further part of the song you'll see a lot of words that somehow (for her) describes the beauty of love

Mr. Mystery- he's being so mysterious about it and he ain't telling her anything

(Line 4,5) [intrigued for a peek- she wants him to make a move to show her that he's in to her/or she wants to know what it is to love because she's heard it's fascinating to be in love]

III
Come on, baby; let me see
What you hiding underneath
I want the jaw dropping, eye popping
Head turning, body shocking
I want my heart throbbing
Ground shaking, shoe stomping, amazing

(Line 3) Jaw dropping- thing that makes her speechless

eye popping- something she couldn't perceive to happen but happened

(Line 4) Head turning- she herself couldn't believe it that her head turns in disbelief

Body shocking- Her whole being was shocked.

(Line 5) She wants to know what it feels like to be in love with someone so strong ,that when you're near that person you suddenly get all nervous.

(Line 6)Ground Shaking- your whole world is shaken by hi presence

Shoe Stomping- and when he's passed, she'll regret that she didn't say a thing to him.

IV
"Are you brave enough to let me see your peacock?
Don't be a chicken
Boy, stop acting like a beeotch
I'mma peace out if you don't give me the payoff
Come on, baby; let me see
What you hidin' underneath"

(Line 1,2) She's asking him but more on pushing him to make a move on her.

(Line 3) Now, she's just plain angry at him for not making a move in her.

(Line 4) She's sort of black mailing him that she leave if he doesn't do what she wants.

(Line 5,6) Then she's pleading again.

V
"Are you brave enough to let me see your peacock?
What you waiting for?
It's time for you to show it off
Don't be a shy kind of guy
I bet it's beautiful
Come on, baby; let me see
What you hidin' underneath"

(Line 2,3) She's telling that this is the perfect time for him to tell her he loves her.

(Line 4,5) Stop being all shy/ stop hiding what you really feel for her, because she knows it's(Love/his feelings for her) is beautiful.

VI
"Skip the talk
Heard it all
Time to walk the walk
Break me off
If you're bad, show me who's the boss
Need some Goose to get loose
Come on; take a shot"

(Line 1,2) Stop justifying your shyness

(Line 3) It's time for him to do what he needs to do.

(Line 4,5) Break me off-shut me up

Show me who's the boss- impress me with your manliness/show me your superiority

(Line 6,7) [Goose-silly] Do you need a drink to release your silliness?If you do, then let's.

VII
"Oh my god
No exaggeration
Boy, all this time was worth the waiting
I just shed a tear
I am so unprepared
You got the finest architecture
And the rainbow-looking treasure's
Such a sight to see
And it's all for me"

(Line 1,2,3) She's very happy that he finally did it.

(Line 4,5) She almost cried, and as expected, she was shocked.

(Line 6) Its an Apostrophe. She's talking to Love, and telling that being in love is so beautiful.

(Line 7,8) Love is a treasure that made her life so colorful.

(Line 9) And she finally had it. She has finally fallen in love.

Summary

This is a song about a Girl fantasizing about his man of his dreams. She wants to know how it is to be head over heels over a man that she's wishing he'd appear to sweep her off her feet already. The song showed so much innocence with the way she described love as something so amazing as if she doesn't know the hurt that comes with love.

Interpretation of Cher's song "You haven't seen the Last of me"

Interpretation of Katy Perry's song "Firework"

(Line 4,5,6) Have you ever felt so weak inside that anything can make you fall apart.

Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky"

(Line 1) You just have to release yourself from your inhibitions and lack of self esteem because you are this beautiful light

(Line2) You just need to believe in yourself, own your darkness because you are the only one hindering yourself from happiness.

Rolling in the Deep- Just when everything look swell in a relationship, a small crack (Broken trust) and then unobtrusively, everything goes down the drain.

Making a home down there
It Reminds you of the home we shared"

Turned my sorrow into treasured gold
You pay me back in kind and reap just what you sown"

Interpretation of Adele's song "Chasing Pavements"

I

"I've made up my mind
No need to think it over
If I'm wrong I ain't right
No need to look no further
This ain't lust
This is love but"

The Persona knows that she has found "the One", and that their relationship could be the reaal deal. but

II

"If I tell the world
I'll never say enough
Because it was not said to you
And that's exactly what I need to do
If I'm in love with you"

(Line 1,2,3)She has a lot to say, but words can never be enough if it doesn't reach him.

(Line 4,5) She has to tell him those things if she really loves him. Those things could probably be problems in their relationship that's being a burden for them.

III

"Should I give up
Or should I just keep chasing pavements
Even if it leads nowhere
Or would it be a waste
Even if I knew my place should I leave it there?
Should I give up
Or should I just keep chasing pavements
Even if it leads nowhere?"

[Chasing Pavements- it's walking a road with someone, you know you're with someone but then that someone disappears. And now you're left chasing pavements]

She knows that he doesn't love her that much yet, or that their relationship isn't deep enough to go where she wants their relationship to go. And she's confuse if she'll fool herself ,pretending that he'll love him enough ,one day.

III

"I'd build myself up
And fly around in circles
Wait then as my heart drops
And my back begins to tingle
Finally could this be it"

(Line 1,2) She'll join him in an everlasting journey,

(Line3) And when her heart grows weak from all the waiting,

(L4) And she gets old,

(L5) And He'll finally propose to her.

Summary

The Song is about going in a journey with someone, and you want it to go somewhere. But it's not, and you have a feeling that never going to get there. And finally, you ask yourself ; If you should let go(Mind is thinking, 1st), or should you walk through pavements because when you have walked enough you might get to him(heart is convincing the mind,2nd).

Beautiful song...

The song was inspired by an incident Adele had with a former boyfriend of six months. At 6:00 AM one morning, after learning he had cheated on her, she went to the bar he was at and punched him in the face.[3] After being thrown out, Adele ran down the street alone and thought to herself, "What is it you're chasing? You're chasing an empty pavement." She sang it into and recorded it on her mobile phone and arranged three chords when she got home.-Adele[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chasing_Pavements]

Interpretation of Adele's song "Turning Tables"

This song is a very emotional song by Adele that suites every person in the world who had felt what it is to love so much and get hurt.

I

"Close enough to start a war,
All that I have is on the floor,
God only knows what we're fighting for,
All that I say, you always say more"

(Line 1) They had a confrontation, and any moment someone could burst out in to emotions.

(L2) They are throwing their things out of anguish and every thing's on the floor OR this could mean that she had let go of her relationship and now it's on the floor.

(L3) They don't even remember what caused them to argue.

(L4) The man said a lot of promises but carried out a few.

II

"I can't keep up with your turning tables,
Under your thumb, I can't breathe,"

(L1) She's tired of him, always trying to get even or reversing situations and justifying his actions and trying to make HER the bad person.

(L2) She only mentioned the thumb because she really wants to be in his hand but his grip is just too much. She just wants him to change because it's killing her.

III

"So I won't let you close enough to hurt me,
No, I won't ask you, you to just desert me,
I cant give you,what you think you gave me,
It's time to say goodbye to turning tables,
To turning tables,"

(L1) But now she has had enough, and he wont allow him to hurt her anymore.

(L2) She wont go back with him, because it's just asking for him to hurt her again and to leave her crying again.

(L3) She can't give him love in return for all the pain he has caused her.

* He thinks he's not hurting her because he keeps on justifying his actions, hence, Turning tables.

(L4) And now she's leaving him and his foolish acts.

IV

"Under haunted skies I see, ooh.
where love is lost, your ghost is found.
I've lived a hundred storms to leave you.
As hard as you try, no I will never be knocked down."

(L1)Every night she still thinks of him.

(L2) And even though she doesn't love him anymore, he'll always have a place in her heart.

(L3) She had suffered/cried a lot to forget him/not love him anymore.

(L4) He can't court her back again, her decision is final.

V

"Next time I'll be braver,
I'll be my own savior,
When the thunder calls for me,
Next time I'll be braver,
I'll be my own savior,
Standing on my own two feet,"

(L1) The next time she gets in to a relationship she know what she'll do.

(L2) She wont be the damsel in distress waiting for a prince charming to save her. No, not anymore.

(L3) When trials come her way.

(L6) She'll do things on her own.

Summary

"Turning Tables" is a song about a break up. She's telling a story about her bad past with her boyfriend, and how she tries to empower herself to remind her her strengths and that she doesn't need a man to take care of her or either wise.

My favorite rendition of Turning Tables by Gwyneth Paltrow in the hit series "Glee Season 2 Episode "Night of Neglect"

Interpretation of Lady Gaga's song "Judas"

Why would anyone love Judas? Who loves a traitor? Does this song really mean what it seems to mean?

Summary:

Reading between the Lines

A woman is madly in love with a man who is controlling, lying and betraying, that she blames herself for causing him to sin from her. Even if people around her is telling her to stay away from that person she still clings/hangs on to their relationship.

Reading beyond the Lines

A woman loves her ex because of the bad experience he has taught her. The mood of the song and the 2nd verse made me feel that she has had enough, and she admitted to herself her faults and she has learned from them.

An Argument by Lady Gaga as to why Judas should be loved:

"The Idea that Judas was the ultimate betrayer, well in fact, if that had never occurred the ultimate prophesy in life would have never been fulfilled."

-Lady Gaga on an Interview

Interpretation of Lady Gaga's Bad Romance

Reading BEYOND the lines

The woman is in love with a man because of his indifference and all the deepest and darkest things he sees in his self. She doesn't just accept his wrongs, in fact, she loves him because of those features.
