I have a project for which I've been asked to interpret the lyrics of my choice of song.
I've chosen 'Glycerine' by Bush and, although the song is brilliant, I can't get get one clear meaning from it. I'm really terrible at breaking stuff like this down and I need a little bit of help.
It would help if you know this song but, if you want to give it a try anyways, there lyrics can be found here: http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Venue/2561/lyrics/glycerine.html
Could someone tell me THEIR interpretation of the song?
Thanks in advance. (link)

Alright. Seriously... I am so not sure. If you want to pick another song for interpretation.. pick Hotel California by The Eagles.. I can explain that one very easily. It's about heroin addiction. But when I listen to Glycerine... I am not sure. he could be saying anything. Probably about a bad relationship though

I'm not sure where to turn. I feel like I have run out of options and I just can't cope.
I've seen a pyschiatrist, physchologist, hypnotherapist and counseller- none helped. I recently went to my head of year when things were really too much- to the extent when it was either help or die- and she, although she said she wouldn't since she saw it wouldnt help, has just asked a counseller to speak to me. I need real help. I know it can help to talk through fears and everything but it hasn't helped me in the past and I cannot put myself through the pain of living for the date where I saw a therapist and begging them to help me. It was hell and it never really helped anything.
I need SOMETHING more now. Things are really bad at the moment. It's hard to explain but basically I have complete phobias of lots of things (certain films, accents, places, anything) that I can relate to a certain person who hurt me. I don't want to go into this since it's not overly relevent to this question.
I just want to know if there is ANYTHING else out there. I really don't know what to do. I want to die. I feel like everything is helpless and no one can help me. I'm not allowed medication as the pyschiatrist felt I was too dependant on things. I don't know where else to turn. My parents don't either.
The reason I went to my head of year was for this reason- I am totally stuck. I can't handle it. I feel like I am falling and no one can stop me. I need help so badly- I just can't see anything out there.
Please reply if you can; thankyou xxxx (link)

Alright. I have the same problem. Well, to an extent. The songs/movies/accents/etc remind you of a certain person... maybe someone who hurt you or maybe they died.. who knows. The thing to remember is.... The song/movie/accent wasn't made to make you miserable. Some people have very strong memories(me to) and these meories are triggered by different things. When something comes on the tv, or the radio, or someone speaks funny... just think of something else. I know it is hard.. I still start crying when I hear ANY song by Jewel... but some how you will learn to deal with it. *hugs*

I have this guy-friend that I've hung out with since 5 grade (I'm in 9) and he is really smart and nice and funny, but not all that cute. I really like him (like, I want to date him and such) and I think he likes me because he always comes over to talk and comments on my outfit or my latest quilt design, and today at lunch my friend Tai said he was staring at me, but he might just be acting that way because we're friends. Does he like me like I like him or not? I'd like some input from guys on this one. (link)
| |
Ok, I'm a chick so this might be totallly wrong. But talk to him, about how you feel and everything. Ask him about dating and relationships If he likes you, he might just be too shy and thinks you don't like him. Give it a try.. all you have to lose is your fear.

Okay, my boyfriend and I broke up about 2 weeks ago but when we started going back out again. The deal was that I had to give him time to do things he loves to do like basketball. I know I said I would give him the time but I want his time too, ya know? I thought he only meant like a couple hours after school 3 or 4 days a week but it's been every day, every week for at least 5 hours. I never get to talk to him anymore. We don't live close together either. We live 30 minutes away so when my parents are willing to take me over there, we used to both jump at the offer. He rarely gets a ride to my house because his family is in a tight financial situation. The only day that I ever get to see him is on Sunday for sure. Sometimes I see him on Saturday but not a lot. I love him sooo much but I'm just not sure if he has the time for me or if he still loves me?? I want him to be happy and have time to himself but I mean, I want him to spend time with me too since I never really get to see him. All I want is an hour or two every once in a while. Is that really too much to ask? Does he still have enough time for me and does he still love me?
I'm 14 and he's 15... (link)

Alright you are both young and the prospect of love might seem like it is everything in the world... but it is not. You need to talk to him. Maybe break it off unitl summer, when you might be able to spend more time together. You have a life outside of him, as he does outside of you. Just relax..

okay theres this girl named alex.. she's the "popular miss" at my school...all of the guys like her...all of the girls like her. shes so incredibly mean she has gone after every single one of my ex and even current boyfriends...we used to be best friends...way back when..she was nice...i feel locked down like i have to be her friend and i'm afraid to tell her how i feel....she's not the kind to really take bull shit from other people..she's slapped me across the face before and i'm 100% sure she wont hesitate to do it again...she's pretty much a bitch...me and my friend brooke used to be pretty close with a girl named kaylen(kk) ..the other night kk had a party..she invited alex .. for some reason alex thought she needed more attention than what she was getting i mean you should have seen what she wore..she looked ridiculous tanktop tight jeans thong hangin out and high heals yea you get the picture .. so anyways her and kaylen started makin out.. now there good friends and kaylen cuts herself. i don't like what she does to herslef and my friends but i just can't get myself to stick up for them .. i'm not that kinda person.. but nobody else will say anything what should i do
please please help me
(link)

Ok tell Kayleen that she needs help, like mental help. Cutting is one of common ways teenagers deal with pain. They don't know how to deal with it any other way. And tell Alex EXACTLY what you think of her. Don't let her go around and mess up other people's lives. If you don't take initative.. one no else will either

i used to be friends w/ this one girl but then she started going out w/ my brother and totally changed. now she complety ignores me and acts like a total b*tch to me. i tried being nice to her but i cant do it anymore. she comes over everyday and she is a total snob. also, everyone in my family is on HER side. they are always telling me how i need to be nicer to her even though shes the one thats being so mean to me. and ever since my brother started going out w/ her, he hasnt really had time to hang w/ me and instead he's always telling me that i need to be more nicer to his g/f even though i really tried to be, it just didnt work. someone please help me. (link)

Alright... maybe she is kind of torn between being your friend and being his gf. Think about it, if you two were very close it might feel as if she is dating a relative. Talk to her, get her alone or on the phone and tell her how you feel. Don't be too offensive though.. she might not realise she is alienating you.

Well, So far alot of guys have turned me down. SO i asked my ex why he broke up with me, and he seyd "well, All the guys say you really need braces so they dont like you" .. i have 2 teeth on the bottom that are slightly crooked, but i cant get my braces on till July, whut do i do?!??! (link)
|
Alright.. TWO CROOKED TEETH? That is the most stupid excuse I have ever heard in my 21 years of existence. Forget about him, and whoever else thinks you are un-datable because of your two teeth. Get braces and when you do.. don't date him or any of his stupid skin deep friends.

Well ... dont know exactly what this would be... but I get really run down sometimes. Just between school, friends, and all sorts of varied stress. It's like it's too much. I think it's mainly while everyone has there little love lifes, I like someone who lives like 1000 miles away. Wouldnt work, and cant work. We don't talk because we just got out of touch. I did try calling him .. but he was very suprised by my call. I dont know if hes shy or what but he didnt call back. Yeah it may sound like he doesnt care about me... but the times when I visited where he lived, he was really friendly. Like if he hated me, he wouldnt have acted the awsome way he did. Im not saying he LOVES me I just know he considered me AT least a friend. And... lately everything I do isn't working. Idk ... my friends are very fair weather. A lot of change is going on. What do I do? [ ps, tried journals...poetry... they help some but they aren't a cure ] (link)
|
Alright... fairweather friends... I understand that completely. I use journals and poetry too, they don't really work... Well have you tried getitng into a group outside of school? Find something that you love to do or that you know how to do very well and find others who share that interest. I have a bus-load of fairweathered friends and they drive me insane. you need a mentor or a group of people who will sympathize and understand you.. As for the long distance thing.. find someone closer and forget about him for now... if he doesn't call he might've lost your number or has a girlfriend, who knows...
Hope this helped..

my mom puts me down so much and i dont know what to do anymore...like if i do sumthin shell jus say sumthin rude about it and leave it at that...nothen i do ever is good enoguh for her..all the rude things she says to me makes me cry so much and she dont even think whut she says hurts me...i try to talk to her but she never listen...my dad is even doin it now to..i dont kno whut to do ne more..help (link)
|
Ok, I know this sounds bad.. but just ignore her. Don't strive to meet her demands... Just let what she says slide down your back. If it is getting worse and you can't ignore her, talk to a teacher/ your grandparents. Parents HATE that. They think they are perfect parents until their moms/dads get on their backs.. So do something... Don't let your parents break you.

Do u no what you do at prom? I heard something about prom that theres a grand march. What is that? Do u no what goes on during the dance? Like is there alot of fast dancing? or mostly slow dancing? (link)
|
Alright, prom is basically a big dance. SOmetimes they serve food/sometimes not. They have alot of different dances... they will play alot of slow songs though.. because prom is usually the last chance some couples get to be together before graduation. Grand March? not sure... but be prepared for some ankle hurtin' times.. Prom should last for a few hours.. and non stop dancing..
hope this helped..

(link)
|
Ok if she is floppinh around with friends... your best bet is to cut and dry... Don't look back. In middle school/high school.. friends come and go as the seasons change. Don't expect to be friends FOREVER yea, it might hurt.. but in the long run.. getting rid of bothersome friends is the healthiest thing to do.

sorry i didn't know where to put this so i just put it here .. well a few weeks ago i found out that i was pregnant. i decided that im going to have the baby but the problem is that i have an eating disorder. i know it's probably bad for the baby but i've been doing it for so long that i can't stop. Does anyone know how badly it can hurt the baby or what it can do to it?
14/f (link)
|
Ok you need to stop. Talk to you parents/ or a counselor, but talk to someone. Tell them what is happening and get some help. A baby needs nutrients and food. You need to eat. Depending on which eating disorder you have, it could miscarriage.

I think I have sort of created some sort of irreversible obsession over my best friend. I'ts not that I cant live with out her. It just that I refuse to do the simplest thing without her consent or at least knowledge. In some sort of twisted way, I cant think without her.... Shes sort of that one thing that completes me in almost all aspects of my life. I'ts scares me day by day because i feel that such a good thing is always lost... Im paranoid about losing one of the only things that makes my life, worthwhile.... Praying for her everynight doesnt seem enough and even when I'm sleeping next to her...I sleep with the deep penetrating thought that She wont be there when i wake up.... My question to you is this.. Is this a friendship or some sort of ill obsession?????
Please help me?????
19...Female (link)

Ok, it might be obsession, or it might be something else. You feel this bond to her, you don't want to lose her... you view her as the only thing in life that keeps you grounded. Right? You might want to try talking about it... not seriously.. don't get into obsessive talking.. but talk to her about your relationship.. if she realises how you feel... maybe she can help.

ok.. there is this guy that i like named ryan. For the past 2 weeks, everyone has been telling me that he likes me. Well i didnt believe them so i said i didnt like him. Then ryan found out i didnt like him, so 3 days ago he told one of my friends i was hott and he liked me but didnt want to go out with me anymore. Last night at church, he wouldnt even talk to me. I said hey to him and he ignored me. Then after church we was all outside and jordan asked bj a question about me and he was like "i dont know adn i dont care right now". I havent done nothing to him, but he found out that i still like my ex. Also there is this guy name murphy that used to like me but i never liked him(we were just good friends, not no more tho, i hate him now!!). Well murphy has been telling everyone that i like him and i dont!! Bj now thinks i like murphy and he thinks murphy likes me. So he is mad at me and wont talk to me. What should i do? (link)
| |
Alright slow down... First of all, talk to Bj(?) and tell Murphy to stop spreading rumors. If you like Bj or even think you might like him later on.. explain yourself and how it got miscommunicated. Won't hurt to explain especially if he likes you.

I went out with this guy for like 4 days but then I broke up with him because my BEST friend in the whole world had already been going out w/ him for like 3 weeks then he broke up with her and he asked me out at HER halloween party "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" she said she didnt care so i said yes .. but i felt like shit because he was like kissing me on my cheek, and holding my hand and everythng right in front of her.. then we went to play blind man bill (ins hide n go seek with a blindfold).. he went to go hide in the closet and wanted me to go in the closet with him and makeout (all this on the 1st night we were going out) and i wanted to but i couldnt risk losing a friend over a guy but i really liked him...Well after about 4 days i could tell it was REALLY bothering my best friend so i broke up with him but the thing is that i never wanted to .. i did it for HER and i still REALLY like him but so does she i think she needs to GET OVER HIM but she wont......... will you please HELP ME!! He still likes me and I still like him but he doesnt kno...:(
~confused~ (link)
|
Alright, depending on your age and how well you and your bestfriend deal with problems... your best bet to to wait. Even if he made the first move on you- her wounds of breaking up might still be fresh. He obviously has no respect for her if he asks you out at her party. But maybe just get to know him better and talk to your friend. Can't expect her to heal sooner than normal.
