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
This song is a very emotional and depressing song about the death of a friend from committing suicide. The persona tried everything to save his friend but apparently not enough, since his friend died. And He's beating himself over it.
Summary

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.
Summary
This song is about loving someone, then that someone leaves you. You're hurt. Then, you try to move on. It wasn't easy but you're close to forgetting that person, and suddenly he comes back. And you can't trust him back that fast because of all the trauma he has brought you.
Summary
"Back to Black" is about being in a bad romance, where only one loves another and the other half keeps on getting her hopes up but then leaves her. She dies every time he leaves her, hence going back to black.
Summary
The song is about being in confused in a relationship. You're blaming yourself for shaking your relationship. You're then realizing all the things you've done and didn't do in that relationship. And you're willing to change and fill up the holes to keep that relationship strong. Time made you want to hold on to that person, and made you realize all your shortcomings and fix them.
Summary
Basically, this song is about finding who you really are and sticking to it. You can change your style, personality,image, appearance, spiritual and emotional until you find who you really are .And when you're sure of yourself, hold on to that and never let go. Fight to the death to keep yourself true to you. Never let other people's judgments get to you, because you are the only one who must decide for yourself.
Summary
This is a story of a man who saw a girl and then said with full assurance to himself, "she's the one!".
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? They're living the shity life normal citizens live. :)
You will never fit in
If you're meant to stand out.
Summary
The song is a dream(a daydream) of a girl who wants to find a sensible man who'll respect her, accept her downs and love her ups. A man who loves her no matter how she looks. The man she'll introduce to her family. And she's picturing her crush(possibly a jock-like in the video) to be that one.
Truly the dream of every teenager.

"Poppin bottles in the ice, like a blizzard
When we drink we do it right gettin slizzard

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

"Hell Yeaa

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!

They'll be flying to Hawaii. But why Hawaii? Because they blend right when their in Hawaii. Hawaii is a like a haven for Asians.
Summary
The song is about trying to look cool, act fly, and get all gangster even if they're Asians. [as an Archetype- we can say that they're Asians by their knowledge in planes, because most Aeronautic enthusiasts are Asians(too much discrimination on my part,sorry!)] They're dreaming of living a life of a wealthy hip hop artist(explains the drugs, the girls, being gangster, and wanting to fly to Hawaii.
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."
Peacocking is a male move to dress up to drag attention from a mate, like when male peacocks look for female mates.

"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

(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

Head turning, body shocking

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

(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 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.
Watch it...
