The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most - Dashboard
first of all, i'd just like to say that zack showing me up with two posts in two nights isn't the ONLY reason i'm posting. i've been thinking about this song for a long time, and even though it may not apply to my life i feel like it may have some relevance later on. so what better thing to do that evaluate it, right?
Buried deep as you can dig inside yourself
covered with a perfect shell,
such a charming, beautiful exterior
This person (we'll call her a she from now on, because that's the way i've always pictured this song) has a seemingly perfect life. Perfect body, perfect personality, perfect everything. Anything that everyone sees shows up as totally perfect.. flawless.
Laced with brilliant smiles and shining eyes
perfect posture but you're barely scraping by,
but you're barely scraping by
She has a beautiful smile, wonderful eyes, just like everything's totally perfect. But things aren't so perfect. Something in her life, or maybe everything, is going horribly wrong. It could be a relationship, anything. But this person's world has been shattered by something horrible. And now she can barely live with herself, but doesn't want people to realize it.
This is one time, this is one time
that you can't fake it hard enough to please
everyone, or anyone at all.. or anyone at all
I take this as somehow, people aren't buying this whole "flawless" thing anymore. Maybe her life just seemed too perfect in everyone's eyes, that people finally started realizing something could be wrong.
And the grave that you refuse to leave,
the refuge that you've built to flee
are the places you have come to fear the most.
They're the places you have come to fear the most.
She has a place she goes to inside herself, to get away from it all. Maybe the horrible thing that happened, or maybe to get away from the society she's trying to hide everything from. Now suddenly, even this place seems so unsafe, so scary. She can do nothing to get away, but she's too scared to face that horrible thing that's happened. She feels so helpless.. lost.
Buried deep as you can dig inside yourself
hidden in the public eye,
such a stellar monument of loneliness
She continues to go deeper and deeper inside herself to not show society, even her friends, how lonely and scared she is. She continues to hide behind a mask. But she's no longer safe, and everyone can tell how lonely she is. She just won't seem to open up to them.
Laced with brilliant smiles and shining eyes
perfect makeup, but you're barely scraping by,
you are barely scraping by..
Like I said, she continuously hides behind this mask, this "makeup" trying to hide herself from society. Trying to hide herself from having to face up to problems. So now, all she's got to look forward to in life is scraping by, worrying about if society can tell how lonely and scared she is..
i believe this song was written for a purpose. possibly someone chris carabba knew, maybe even his own self. hiding from problems, no matter how big or small, will never make that problem go away. ever. and hiding it from friends or family won't help either. there'll always be someone to tell if you have a problem.. and i know this is a little off subject, but i just wanna say that if any of my friends need to talk to me about anything, i'll always be there. always.
this was an evaluation by that one runner kid.

"Again I Go Unnoticed" - Dashboard Confessional
So quiet
another wasted night,
another night spent with your girl. you've had great nights before but lately it seems theres not a whole lot there... no connection
the television steals the conversation
so what do most people do when theyre bored at home? they watch tv. no one talks, and your not really spending time with that person since the tv has caused no conversation at all
exhale,
another wasted breath,
and it seems that everything you do, even the small things, is meaningless because you get no acknowledgement from her whatsoever
again it goes unnoticed.
theres something missing. something has happened between the two of you and you dont even acknowledge the things eachother do as a way to not have to talk about it
Please tell me you're just feeling tired
cause if it's more than that I feel that I might break
as much as you wish its just because youre tired and just dont feel like talking, theres something else wrong, but if you seriously think about that thing, youre going to be incredibly depressed
out of touch, out of time.
you havent been close lately- not talking a lot. now it seems youve let it go for too long and theres nothing you can do now to change it- your out of time.
Please send me anything but signals that are mixed
she still does small things that let you know shes still there and shes still yours, but those little things are majorly outnumbered by the things that go unnoticed
cause I can't read your rolling eyes
a bit of sarcasm. she rolls her eyes because of the situation instead of just telling you whats wrong
out of touch, are we out of time?
and now you seriously have to ask this question no matter how much it sucks. is there anything that can be done to improve the situation? or are you jus out of luck?...
Close lipped
another goodnight kiss
is robbed of all it's passion,
you say goodbye to her, and its not anything like it used to be. theres no feeling or connection when you touch her. its jus like saying goodbye to anyone, not the special person she used to be and still is to you
your grip
another time, is slack
it leaves me feeling empty.
thats got to be worse then jus leaving without saying goodbye. when theres no meaning to a goodbye then whats the use? it just gives you a depressed mood that leaves you empty
I'll wait until tomorrow
maybe you'll feel better then
maybe we'll be better then
shes so special to you though, and youre still willing to wait it out to see if things improve even though you kno it wont, you just want to be able to hang on for as long as you can
so what's another day
when I can't bear these nights of thoughts
of going on without you
and the reason that you want to hang on is because as soon as its completely over, its gone and shes not yours anymore, and probably never will be again
this mood of yours is temporary
you keep telling yourself that its just a mood shes in... she'll come out of it
it seems worth the wait
to see your smile again
cuz her smile holds a world of personality that gets you everytime she does it
out of the corner of your eye
won't be the only way you're looking at me then.
once its over, she'll realize what shes missing, look at you as a person once again, and you wont go unnoticed....
so once again everyone, this hasnt happened to the extent i evaluated it. ive jus been listening to it a lot lately and i still dont completely understand it, but still felt like i needed to evaluated it. so hope you like it........

"Mr. Brightside"- the Killers
I'm coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine
so lifes been going pretty well lately, but now a girl has once again come into play to make your life somewhat interesting
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
its so depressing that you have such high standards and very few girls fit them
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
now youve met one of these girls that fits those standards and this doesnt necessarily mean that you "kissed" her. i think it can mean that you have gotten to kno her really well, and it didnt seem like just a friendship, it was on a higher level as in you flirted
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
so you have to continue to tell yourself that flirting happens and sometimes it doesnt mean anything and you jus have to move on
Now I’m falling asleep
before you ever fall asleep theres usually a period where you think about stuff thats been going on lately, often about relationships
And she’s calling a cab
so shes moved on as well and is with another guy now
While he’s having a smoke
And she’s taking a drag
hes not the greatest guy to be involved with. has some bad habits which are now rubbing off on her
Now they’re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
and no matter how much you tell yourself it was just casual flirting, you cannot get this girl out of your head, and to see her with another guy is jus giving you the worst feeling
And it’s all in my head
the worst part about this is that you have no idea if this is really true, its jus a crazy imaginitive thing in your head that keeps playing over and over cuz you think thats what is most likely happening. you realize that none of this is probably happening but cant help but think about it
But she’s touching his—chest
Now, he takes off her dress
and the imagination still wanders but now gets more serious
Now, let me go
you wish none of this had ever happened-seeing her, flirting with her, and having to leave it all
I just can’t look, its killing me
And taking control
these thoughts stress you out insanely everytime you think about them, and you are always thinking about it cuz it has completely taken control over your mind
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
your crazy jealous towards this imaginitive guy. you wish you could be the one to really care for her and be there for her without introducing bad habits to pass on to her, cuz you are sure that you are way better for her than this other dude
Choking on your alibis
you really dont kno the true personality or identity for that matter of this girl cuz you had such a short experience with her, and its jus another thing killing you not to be able to kno
But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
you have crazy high standards, and its jus something youve got to deal with and have always had to cuz it was the way you were made and you cant really change it.
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr Brightside
your one of those nice guys. girls dont usually tend to go for it. they usually want the bad guys and youve got to accept that and not try to change yourself to be that way cuz that would be stupid. one of these days a girl is going to realize that guys like you are better in the long run, so you jus got to look at that brightside and move on...
I’m coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I’m falling asleep

And she’s taking a drag
Now they’re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head
But she’s touching his—chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go
now lets get real. that little self comfort never works. the same thoughts are going to go through your head and bring you down until something is done with the situation.
Cause I just can’t look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr Brightside
so the thoughts repeat once again, and you finally come to the same conclusion that you're just going to have to settle with it this time
I never...
I never...
I never...
I never...
it really would have helped if you just didnt get involved with this though to cause you all that stress and you jus wish none of it ever happened....
now i am not in any way saying this happened but ive been wanting to evaluate this song for a while. it has had meaning in my life lately, but not to the extent that ive evaluated it so dont go assuming things. but anyway hope you enjoyed it and hope you love this song cuz it really is an awesome song....
