Daremo ga butterfly butta spider
Everyone wants to be perceived as being beautiful for what they look like rather than what their actions are. Whilst butterflies might look beautiful, a spider's web is much more amazing. People are beautiful but it is what they do that makes them known but others don't seem to understand that and think they're "ugly" without really knowing them.

could be Christmas, every day
When the kids start
This could be linking to the fact that on Christmas Day during World War I the fighting stopped and they played football over the trenches. The singer is hoping that all fighting stops and every day to be peaceful. http://www.history.com/topics/world-war-i/christmas-truce-of-1914

mines for miracles
This one
Mining, I imagine, was hard work and dangerous, which suggests Jovi is saying that this song is for those who work hard to get the "miracle" they want, and is willing to take risks in order to get it especially if it doesn't seem likely to happen.

on and get up off
This song suggests to me that you shouldn't follow people in authority just because they're in authority, it is about taking a stand for what you believe in because otherwise nobody else is going to do it. And who knows (?) once you've stood up to what you believe in, you might find others also believe in it.

It's a human sign when things go wrong
Humans are supposed to make mistakes, no matter what we do to avoid them. The 'footprint' of humanity's time on Earth will contain mistakes and the sign will be there for future generations to see.

Time grabs you by the wrist,
Directs you where to go
This suggests that you don't have a choice in what you do in your life, and time just sort of moves on around you and you go with it.

'Coz every day could be a good old day
'Coz is colloquial (informal) for the word 'because'.

This is saying that each new day has the chance of being 'good' so just because the previous day was bad, does not mean that the new day is.

Hear the rime of the ancient mariner
This song is based on the poem 'Rime of the Ancient Mariner' by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. I have noticed that this song uses no archaic (old fashioned) words that Coleridge's poem uses, so the message of this song/poem may be easier to follow.

Meaning
I was looking at the chord progression of this song, and going from that, I found it too repetitive (I know songs need a bit of repetition, but this repeated the same idea around 8 times). So it suggests that this song is only 'good' due to the fact that others use peer-pressure to get others to, and they give into peer-pressure due to the desire to be 'right', rather than the song's music. Later, I was discussing with a friend and we both agreed that had this music been written for a gcse level, it would have only gotten a D, possibly a low C. (I got asked to why 'i didn't like it', this is my reason). If I weren't looking at the music itself, I would probably enjoy it, but now I've looked at the music, I can't change that belief. In regards to the lyrics, they empower both young men and women that they are the future and that they have the right to make their own choices in their life. The fact that she's walking in the snow but there is no 'footprint to be seen' suggests that she doesn't want to remember where she came from and therefore does not look for the tracks. 'Let it go' could be talking about 'letting go' of the smaller mistakes in life, and looking to the future. For me, the line I like best is 'funny how some distance makes everything seem small' because it suggests to me that everyone looks at me from a distance, and doesn't really understand. Rating - (short summary) Music = 1/5. Lyrics = 4/5.

From the young man in the 22nd row
Perhaps meaning could be found in the fact that Marilyn Monroe's waist size was 22 inches.
It could also suggest that the 'young man' (Elton John) was looking at her life from a distance, perhaps not caught up with the 'fame' and seeing her life for what it was.

Explanation
"
And it seems to me you lived your life
This is just the singer (Elton John's) perception on who Norma Jean/Marilyn Monroe was, as perhaps a big persona was created by 'Hollywood' so that no one really knows who she is.

When the rain set in
'Rain' is often used as a pathetic fallacy for 'sadness' and could be used to describe the 'pain' that the actress felt.

Meaning
This basically is saying, yes 'we're all little people in a little world' but if we let people believe that, then they're only going to use that to their advantage to make you feel 'little'. It talks about getting revenge in the childish way possible by being 'naughty' (I imagine a water squirter) but whilst highlighting important things about getting your voice heard, even if you have to act innocent in order to do it. Deceive them because they'll believe it, because you're 'little' they will think you're 'small, innocent, something that you can ignore', until you give them a reason not to ignore you. It suggests that we make our lives seem worse than it is, for example, the story is that 'Cinderella' had to do lots of chores and work hard, but here it suggests that actually she didn't, but with the 2/3rds, it suggests that Cinderella had to do a little of the work. It suggests that we should do our part in society to make a difference, as the rest of society is already doing what they can. But it also talks about how you have to make that change, and nobody else is going to. It suggests that our future is pre-written unless you change it.

So if you're too school for cool
This song changes the cliche of 'Too cool for school' to create a memorable line, as it changes your preconceptions about what a line is 'supposed' to say.

good times
When I thought I could never live
This suggests that there were good times with that guy, but perhaps these 'hurt' because the singer realizes that wasn't the only part of the relationship. It 'hurts' because the singer can't be with that guy, because of the 'bad' times but wants the 'good' times to be relived.

Explanation

was taking a
Whilst the rest of the song suggests that the relationship was rushed, the singer here is now realizing her mistake and is taking the time to think about it. The 'I' means that she was alone, and perhaps is envious of the fact that they are together so is creating a dark persona around that guy.

walk along the river
And I saw
Still, calm and relaxing. This may put you into a false sense of security that is revealed in the rest of the song. This could be the singer's train of thought as they remember the 'hurt' that the guy put her though.

game he likes to play

Look into his
The guy does not really care what he does to these people who he meets, he thinks he's having 'fun' without really thinking about the other person. As if to say at the end of the 'game' you can put it away and play again the next time.

that he gave made me shiver
Cause he always
This could suggest the coldness in that guy's soul. Or perhaps as if to remember a 'ghost' of the past, that still haunts them.

Meaning
Although completely unrelated, I always get the feeling that this song would be perfect to describe the 'Doctor Who' (BBC) relationship between Sarah-Jane Smith and The Doctor. I think this is about a person with indecisive feelings about someone that although they want to forget as it hurts, it hurts them to miss them so that when they meet them again, they just want to be 'back in their arms'. At first I thought the 'I just want to walk right up to her' was a bit like they wanted to say 'They're mine, get away' but looking deeper, it could be suggested that the singer is warning that person into not going into relationship as it is going to hurt.

Together we can make a better place
On this little island out in space
Together we can change the world forever
The 'little island' suggests that we are alone in this world, because we have not yet learned to become one as humanity.

Meaning
From a real life perceptive, It suggests that no one can escape time, and no matter how much you try running from it, it will eventually catch up to you. From a Time-Lord perspective, the ''Tick tock goes the clock, and Now what shall we play?'' suggests that they are playing the Doctor at his own game. The Doctor likes to run away from time as if it is a game, so time is eventually going to catch up to him. It also suggests that in trying to do the 'good' things, he traps people he loves around them, such as the alternate reality for Rose, or the past for Amy and Rory and here the 'Prison' for River.

We laughed at fate and mourned her
This links back to how in 'Silence in the library/Forest of the Dead' River dies so that she can save the Doctor and then the Doctor saves River by 'saving' her into the computer (CAL) system. It was 'fate' because River already knew that the Doctor had to meet her, so if he died to save the library, then he would have never met her (a paradox). River 'dying' was inevitable here if the Doctor was to meet her, saying that 'Not those times, not one line' in response to the Doctor saying 'time can be re-written'.
