So at least we agree that he was an amazing, influential genius, missmindfreak2010. I don't know every little detail because I'm not like a csi or anything. So. Whatever. But I just find it odd that as soon as Kurt was gone, she tried like a madwoman to get the rights to millions of dollars worth of the band's music and albums and everything. There was lengthy court battle between her and Dave Grohl (former Nirvana drummer, current Foo Fighters frontman) for the rights to all things Nirvana. Fortunately, Grohl won. Yes, I do understand that his lyrics have a twisted feel to them. Actually, a lot of songs by other bands do, too. Maybe not in quite the same way, but twisted none the less. He was a genius, and maybe he really was mad. But I still say the pieces don't connect for suicide. Oh, and Van Goh was truly an amazing artist. I love his work.

Wow, I really do see the connetion between this song and Lord Of The Flies! (Great book, by the way) I really like how sockpuppet872 broke it down, too! You pointed some great key points there! It makes a ton of sense! Also, when he says "See 'em running for their lives" I think he's referring to the ending, when Jack and his tribe are hunting Ralph and really do plan to kill him and put his head on a stick like they did with the sow. By then, Ralph really is running for his life.

This song means a lot to me - now more than ever. I'm leaving for college in two years and my mom is still trying to control everything that I do. She searches my room, reads any paper she finds, goes through all my stuff, texts my friends on my phone pretending to be me just to see what kind of information she can get. Its ridiculous! I've gotten to the point where I've had my best friend hide my sketchbooks at her house because my work is a bit dark, and my mom would never allow "devil worship" in the house. Its not! Its just. What I felt when I drew it. Like the one with a gun to the head. But anyway, she tries controlling everything. She wants me to be the perfect little christian housewife/mommy, and I don't want to be. For one, I'm studying to be Wiccan (and keeping that under wraps from her), I couldn't care less about getting married right now, and I don't want kids. I take care of my little brother enough to know its too much work for me on top of everything else. She sees what she wants to see, and I just let her believe it. I'm just not really what she sees anymore. Its sad when you leave the house, get to where you're going, then change you're clothes or call up whoever you're really meeting just because its not "mother approved" even when its not bad at all.

No, personally, I did not know Cobain. Neither did you, I can assume. Yes, I know he was on drugs and all of that, and sure, I know he had some problems. But I do not see why someone who was one of the most famous and influential people of his time would kill himself over drugs or selfishness like depression (don't take that the wrong way, trust me. I know what depression is like and it f*****g sucks, but there are ways to fix it without killing yourself). I mean, I would see it as selfish because, if it was suicide, he's leaving his bandmates/friends in the cold without him, abandoning his new baby, and - of course - it hurt his millions of fans, all because he felt bad and wanted his drugs. As for the B. S about suicide vs. Murder - I just have to say we'll have to agree to disagree because I prefer not to argue over something neither of us witnessed.

This song is so sweet! No matter what, you just have to keep holding on, staying strong. Is it just me, or does anyone else think this song has a bit of an irish feel to it? Even just a little? But I really love this song because it has the best advice I could ever imagine. Keep holding on, be there till the end, never give up. If you love someone or believe in what you are doing, you can't give up on it. Or maybe you can't give up even if you wanted to because you know the best thing for everyone else is for you to keep going like always, even if it hurts you.

Great song! Evanescence is so original and very distinct. You can always tell them apart from anyone else because they combine metal with classical music. Of course, Apocalyptica does, too, but they sound nothing like this. This song sounds like a final plea for help, like maybe she's suicidal, but its that almost secret 'help me'. I don't know. This can be seen in so many different perspectives, but that's just how I see it.

I adore kelly clarkson! Why is it that the best winners of ai didn't plan on ever being on the show? Kelly's frien made her go, and David Cook was only there to support his brother who was auditioning, but they made him try out, too. I really love this song because its so. Heartfelt. You can just feel it. She's saying that she's screwed up now because she let you influence her so much, and now she's afraid to trust anyone. God I know how that feels. It really sucks. I'm glad she has songs like this and not just the pop fluff I would have expected from ai.

Wow. Married, burried? Oh, the ironic foreshadowing! His wife (at the time) Courtney Love, was the one who killed him (he had no reason to want to kill himself, so I don't believe it was sucide). So, essentially. He was married then burried. I just wish he could have seen it coming. The world suffered an enormous loss, and the infamous 27 list claimed another victim. So sad. Hey, um. If you people are going to post a comment, could you please make it legible?

I love this song! Words cannot express! My friend katie and I used to sing it all the time when we were about five. It drove our parents nuts! Especially when they were stuck in the car with us. But I haven't seen her since I was seven, so about nine years. I always wondered who sang this song originally, and then I remembered my mom mentioning something about an 'angry garden' as I remembered thinking. So, I looked it up and it turns out it was savage garden.
