Songs with meanings?

I need 3 songs that have analagies, similies, metaphors, ect and have a meaning.





A good example would be the River by Garth Brooks





This is for school, so nothing bad. I asked this question already but all I got were songs about suicidal people and things like that.

Songs with meanings?
Don't laugh at me by Mark Wills has a great message and I am sure you can find some analogies in it. Long Black Train by Josh Turner (already mentioned above). The Gambler by Kenny Rogers or Coward of the County by Kenny Rogers both talk about choosing your battles and knowing when to walk away (Coward of the County is probably the better bet for school). Another one is I hope you Dance by Lee Ann Womack which is very much like The River by Garth Brooks.
Reply:Also try another Garth Brooks song- "Standing Outside the Fire"
Reply:Long Black Train - Josh Turner





The black train represents satan...sinners could choose to board it (give in to sin) or resist it and go to the Lord.





I really feel this would help, watch the video
Reply:Love Can Build a Bridge by the Judges is a great one.
Reply:A good example I can think of is 'Afterglow' by INXS. It is about the old lead singers death and his memory. Here are the lyrics for you, hope it helps :D





Here I am, lost in the light of the moon that comes through my window


Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divides the thorns from the roses


It's you and the roses





Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow


Heal me from all this sorrow


As I let you go I will find my way when I see your eyes


Now I'm living in your afterglow





Here I am, lost in the ashes of time, but who owns tomorrow?


In between the longing to hold you again


I'm caught in your shadow, I'm losing control


My mind drifts away, we only have today





Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow


Heal me from all this sorrow


As I let you go I will find my way


I will sacrifice 'til the blinding day when I see your eyes


Now I'm living in your afterglow





When the veils are gone, as I let you go, as I let you go





Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow


Heal me from all this sorrow


As I let you go I will find my way, I will sacrifice


Now I'm living in your afterglow





Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divides the thorns from the roses


It's you who is closest





Daniel :D
Reply:I have a couple, but one has someone dying, so you may not use it.


1) The thunder rolled by Garth Brooks (a women discovers her lover is cheating on her, so she shoots him. You may not use it)


2) In my arms by Plumb (in this song, she sings about her kids growing up.)





That's all i can think of. Hope I helped.
Reply:Pam Tillis Has a song called The River and The Highway





The song sounds like it's describing lovers ( in the form of a river and a highway) that have to take there own paths but they occasionally cross paths every now and then and when they do it's a beautiful thing . (at least that's my interpretation)





Here are the Lyrics





She follows the path of least resistance


She doesn't care to see the mountain top


She twists and turns with no regard to distance


She never comes to a stop


And she rolls, she's a river


Where she goes, time will tell


Heaven knows, he can't go with her


And she rolls, all by herself


All by herself


He's headed for a single destination


He doesn't care what's standing in his path


He's a line between two points of separation


He ends just where it says to on the map


And he rolls, he's a highway


Where he goes, time will tell


Heaven knows, she can't go with him


And he rolls, all by himself


All by himself


And every now and then, he offers her a shoulder


And every now and then, she overflows


And every now and then, a bridge crosses over


It's a moment every lover knows


And she rolls (and he rolls)


She's a river (he's a highway)


Where she goes (where he goes)


Time will tell (Time will tell)


Heaven knows she can't go with him (he can't go with her)


And she rolls all by herself


And he rolls all by himself


Fare thee well
