Sad and depressing, then upbeat and happy.

i feel like these lyrics got more exciting as it went. most songs start low and get higher. i think the dance they made was a good interpretation of the story.

I think that it wasn't just sad at the start, but all through the whole song as well. As for the happy it was happy at only some parts of the song

at first, it was very depressing, then at the end it got more upbeat and then it got sad again.

It starts out very depressing and then gets exciting. After then the climax pops out. Then the end goes back to being sad.

I think it's about someone who is broken-hearted or hurt in some way and a person is trying to help them out. In the song when the electric guitar gets really loud that would be the climax in the story.

I think someone is singing to their friend. The friend just had a loved one die, and the person singing is saying that they'll always be there for them.

I think the song is about giving a helping hand to someone that had expirenced pain in their lives recently. when it says "I will try to fix you" I think they're trying to say how they will help you along the way.

I think this song is about striving in desperation for something or someone but too depressed to take action.

I think the song is about someone who has a sickness and has a good friend who always helps them out and is always there for them. In the beginning the song is slow and sad but it gets louder and more upbeat in the end.

I really loved the song and dance. They both meant that you can be broken and sad but turn around and be happy. The dance made a lot of sense and represented the song very well.

I think the song is about someone helping out a friend going through a hard time and letting them know they will always be there for them. I also think the dance goes really well with the song and I enjoyed it.

i think the dancers had a great interpretation of the song. the song is about the guy trying to fix his girl friend and they really showed that in their choreography when he caught her when she fell.

Mistakes happen...and that's why there's new beginnings. This song sends a strong message about getting on your feet again. To never give up.

By "message", I see you identifying the theme. This song has a lot of themes in it, don't you think? What other themes can be found in the lyrics?

I think the song is about a person who has lost someone close to them and a friend is trying to help them out. 3/13/2012 01:37:42 pm
I think the song starts slow and becomes upbeat later on. I think the song was talking about how the light of heaven could guide you the right way, while the flames of hell could lead you the wrong way.

I think the person who was singing the song was adressing a friend or a loved one. that lost some one or was depressed about something and how it says "I will fix you" meaning that the person will help them.

I love all the comments you made, class! I was wondering what the response to this song would be. Imagining that it is a boy singing to a friend, maybe a girl, what do you think her reply would be? Would she want to be fixed? I wonder if maybe she thinks she's fine, but he thinks there's something wrong with her. What do you think about that?

i think that when they mean stuck in reverse its a car thats stuck in revere and a close person died in the accident and when he sings about igniting bones he means that they go to heaven and live happily there and that person will always be remembered.
