Way I Look

(Stanley Chris)

The song is about the struggles couples have in relationships with regard to the insecurities the partners grapple with about how they look. The guy acknowledges that he has certain odd peculiarities about his looks that others would easily recognize. The two of them have never had a conversation around it and, as a result, the guy is only left with speculations about what exactly goes on in the girl's mind. She has proven time and time again that she is committed to the relationship, but from the way she looks at the guy, it is evident that she notices what everyone else sees. Does she do that because it is just an obvious situation or does she secretly have concerns that she'd rather downplay or keep to herself? Some of them are highlighted in Verse 2: the concern over other people's opinions and what they will say, worries about the kids inheriting some of the limitations that he has, etc. The Bridge is the guy's stand as it were; quoting Shakespeare, he states that "things without remedy should be without regard." It's all about genetics, and he finds solace in the fact that he didn't choose the family he was born into and thus had no choice on the matter.

VERSE 1:
In your eyes I see that we have a future 
But those same eyes reveal that you may have some doubts 
Or is it me who is just being too insecure 
Tell me love and don't coat it up in sugar 

CHORUS:
What are you scared of saying out to me
The way that you stare I can't help but to think
That you are seeing something odd 
Or seeing something wrong 'bout the way that I look 
Cos I kinda know there are some things odd
And there are some things wrong' bout my looks too

VERSE 2:
Are you worried 'bout what people will be saying 
D'you mind the opinions of your relatives and friends 
Or does it have to do with the kids that you will raise 
Tell me love and don't you ever feel ashamed 

BRIDGE:
It's genetics
I didn't choose my family
Shakespeare was right 
Things without remedy
Should have no regard so

The song is about the party life of a young couple who are in a dating relationship, a period when they have a lot of time to have fun and enjoy a lot of the things that young couples like to do, in this case going out to social places to unwind and have fun. The guy has social anxiety and doesn't like parties, while the girl does. Despite the fact that he is antisocial, he enjoys a drink often, unlike the girl who drinks less frequently. On this night, instead of going out to a club or bar, he begs the girl to let them stay indoors, saying "I will be good I can promise ya" which implies that he has a wild side, especially when the liquor kicks in. He has plans to take the evening enjoying the company of his love, a time which usually ends in some really intimate moments between the two that tend to get a little crazy.

Stirred

By Stanley Chris

The song is a simple expression of love. The verses capture the wild emotions that the persona experiences as a result of the passion shared with the lover. It's "a fire in my heart burning like all the suns in the universe" and "a breeze deep within blowing like all the winds in the galaxies", both of which capture the extremes of these emotions. They are "stirred by her kiss and her touch", referring to moments when the two share physical intimacy. That aside, she also has "sexy eyes" which the persona has adopted as her pet name as seen in the second part of the Chorus. The Chorus itself is a confession by the persona. Fully convinced that the lover is the one he is meant to spend the rest of his life with, he boldly declares that he'd want to take his last breath by her, and promises to hold tightly to her while their "worlds collide", a picture of the different battles they may face being two people coming from two very different backgrounds and having entirely different personalities. As they merge their hearts and lives together, the friction that arises will not be enough to quench his love for her. The confession continues in the Bridge where the persona tells his darling that he loves all of her, and all she does, calling it a moment of truth when he pours out his heart to her in those simple but powerful lines.

Angel In The Fire

By Stanley Chris

The song is a poetic expression of love for someone the persona thinks is the most special person to them. In Verse 1 he refers to her as "a woman like no other" (line 2) and in Verse 2 as "a woman who is more than gold" (line 2). She is a woman who has embraced him the way he is, with all his flaws and he terms her "a place where my demons are overcome" (Verse 1 line 2), and "a place where my failures are overthrown (Verse 2 line 2). She is a shoulder to lean on and is presently available during tough times as captured in the Bridge. The Chorus employs the use of Biblical allusion by referencing the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego and how they were supernaturally delivered from the fiery furnace by an angel of God. She apparently has an infectious smile that calms nerves with an unusual ease (Chorus line 2). The last two lines of the Chorus express the persona's commitment to abide by her until death does them apart in keeping with the vows the two had earlier taken during their wedding.

Sniper

By Stanley Chris

The song is a creative look at physical intimacy. The persona is generally a shy character with a lithe physique and is miles away from being athletic. That notwithstanding, he/she is determined to prove that appearances can be deceptive by giving an unexpected performance, a fantasy the person has had for a long time. Line 3 of Verse 1 suggests that the character has a wild side that the partner does not really know about. Verse 2 in its entirety preludes the intense drama expected to ensue that is further amplified in the lyrics of the Chorus. Line 2 of the Chorus is however a subtle assurance to the partner that they will be safe and should not have any fears about the "threat" the other is breathing out, and creates an atmosphere of honest expression of affection. The bridge has two parts, the first two lines capturing the actual activity of the night, which the third and fourth lines of Verse 2 hint will go on till late in the night by employing exaggeration as a tool, and the last two lines talk about the breaks they will have in-between all the "fighting" that will be going on.

Sad Girl

By Karianne Gabaldon

A true story about a woman who self harms and a man obsessed with it. The woman couldn’t quite tell if the man was after her beauty and personality or if it was her self mutilation. His obsession was sick, but something inside of her kept coming back for more. If you are wondering, this “sad girl” is me. The man, well, I will never mention his name.
