here are some of my favorite copeland lyrics (its not the full song, just my favorite parts) they are so amazing i explain why i like them. i originally posten this in my livejournal..but i decided to put it in here too..i dont know if im right with the interpretations, but its what they mean to me..
california i miss the way you sing along so i cant hear your voice over the radio in my car but you know every word they say you knew just the right things to say distance ripped us farther and farther and farther away...
maybe i fell to fast maybe i pushed you away now youre gone and im afraid that youre never coming back this way again..
you know i wont mind if you monopolize all of my time i wont say a thing at all, wont say a word.. just come back from california.
( i like this one, mostly because the music sounds really nice, hes saying he fell too fast and things didnt work out, and now shes gone and hes afraid shell never come back to him so its pretty painful. when i think of this song, i dont think of someone actually going to california, i think of them being so far out of your reach that it seems theyre far away..by distance i dont think he means the physical distance between the two of them then he says i dont mind spending all my time with you which is really sweet)
coffee so many things i have to say ill stay up all night to hear about your day
and if its not too late for coffee ill be at your place at ten we'll hit that all night diner and then we'll see
theres a love that trandscends all that we've known of ourselves and ill wait for it to come... well its got to be strong to touch my heart through its shell but ill wait for it to come.
(this one reminds me of jake-the stay up all night to hear about your day part, cuz wen i can, im up late with him and we talk all night about our day, and just everything.. the part i really love is when he says theres a love that trandscends...etc. cuz it gives me hope for love in the future, its makes me feel like it is worth it to wait because when it does come, it will be amazing, and will "trandscend all that we've known of ourselves".)
when finally set free feel the pain teaching us how much more we can take, reminding us how far we've come let the pain burn away from our hearts, we have time to start all over again.
well if you would shine your love down here and make our hearts as perfect as new i promise ill reflect right back at you
(i like these words because they have a strong message, that pain is, in essence, good, because we learn from it, and we grow from it. i also agree that its never too late to start over.)
brightest if you find yourself here on my side of town i pray that youd come to my door and talk to me like you dont know what we ever fought about cuz i dont remember anymore i just know that she warms my heart and knows what all my imperfections are and she said that i was the brightest little firefly in her jar
(this one is so cute. i was really depressed when i first bought this cd, it was at a time when i was the lowest ive ever been, and that song made me feel SOO much better. i dont even know why really.. its just so cute, and in my oppinion, if you can find a person that knows all your imperfections and still thinks the world of you, thats wonderful, thats love.)
testing the strong ones theres an angel by your hospital bed desperate to hear his name on your breath as he looks down your not making a sound open your eyes, look at me ill bring to you whatever you need
and ill tell you im sorry that i cant take this pain away from you id put it on my own body if i knew how to
i know that you say this is what you get for being a bad child but i know this will your reward in just a little while
its testing the strong ones, scaring the beautiful ones its holding the loved ones, One last time...
(this one is depressing because he loves this girl so much and hates so much to see her in pain that hed want to take the pain from her and put it on his own body if he could..can you imagine? and the last part is cool.. testing the strong ones. he makes a point that maybe pain is just testing our strength?)
priceless i remember when id run to you from fields of white flowers your embrace is my air, how i needed you there and all of the world and all of its powers couldnt keep your love from me
cuz i need you like the dragonflys wings need the wind like the orphan needs home once again like heaven needs more to come in i need you here like you've always been
then I waved goodbye to you from fields of white flowers you were so proud of me i was too proud to see that all of the world and all of it's powers couldn't keep your love from me
Taking for granted.. And all of her smiles Could not be reminded You got away
And now I'm looking up to you From fields of white flowers You were so proud of me I'm so proud of you All of the world and All of it's power Couldn't keep your love from me
(this is by far my favorite song by copeland. its so unbelievably touching..if someone you love has passed, definately listen to this song, it will help you see death from a different angle i think. nick madore told me it was about his aunt that died. in the beginning he says he remembers running to her from fields of white flowers, then he says he waved goodbye to her from fields of white flowers, signifying her death. he says he needs her with him, like shes always been. i think hes saying when she died he was too upset to see that she was still around him, and that theyd someday meet again because all of the world and all of its powers couldnt keep his love from her. then finally, when he realizes this, hes looking "up at her" from fields of white flowers. so nice. this one also sends a strong message that you shouldnt take for granted the people you love because now "shes got away".)
she changes her mind she changes your mind when you see the joy in her eyes it makes you feel that she draws your eyes from all the things that made you numb
it was your hello that kept me hanging on every word and your goodbye that keeps me listening for your voice around each corner
(the first parts just about how much he likes this girl that makes all the bad things in life seem better,so nice. i really like the last part though, cuz i can relate. i think we all can. when your going through a tough break up, its really hard at first, and you miss the persons voice, at least i do...)
Well thats all. I love lyrics. I get a rush when i hear good lyrics and good music, and i always interpret songs for their meanings. comment, let me know what you think..
