Makes you see the song entirely differently, eh? Bruised | Reviewer: Andrea | 7/30/07 I think this song is about two people who meet on vacation or somewhere they know they won't see each other again, and they fall in love. He knows that if he stays with her after he leaves, he'd be just as heartbroken from not seeing her as he would breaking up with her. But as soon as he breaks it off, he realizes it was a mistake. AGGREEING | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/30/07 I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THIS: different take | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Bruised performed by Jack's Mannequin i don't really know why i'm submitting my thoughts here but at any rate i seem to be the only who thinks he's glad to leave. well, glad is to light of a word, but he's relieved to be free of all his former obligations to love, to her. he's in flight, unfettered and free. he is terrified because freedom is a terrifying and rutheless thing, it gives us license to make mistakes larger than we can handle and to ruin everything, but that freedom is necissary. so yeah, he hurts now that he's left her and he wonders, was it right? can he go back? of course he wonders. but he can't. "there's so much sun where i'm from, i had to give it away, had to give you away." AND PLUS, these lyrics show that the kid is is torn and has to fight himself to remain levelheaded about breaking up with her: All I hear is what's playing through The in-flight radio Now every word of every song I ever heard that made me wanna stay Is what's playing through The in-flight radio, and I And I am, finally waking up the songs are his head pulling him back to the relationship that he knows he can find a comfort that holds him down. the song | Reviewer: shanna | 7/29/07 i think it's about a guy who wants to get away to decide what is best for him. get advice from other people. when he talks about keeping the plane steady and making it last i think he wants to take advantage of the time he has to decide what he wants. he knows he is hurting her but he doesnt know how else to deal with it. maybe he wants the relationship but its been too long for him, he wants to let go but there are too many things that remind him of her love it | Reviewer: hannah | 6/22/07 i think that this song reflects what he and a girl had, and the memories they shared...and then when its time to go, he can't stop thinking about her, and he goes to a bar, and sits there, letting the hours pass, hoping that she'll be there too. fantastic | Reviewer: anisa | 6/22/07 i love this song so much. it's one of my favourite jack's mannequin songs. it's beautifully written and quite catchy. what i think | Reviewer: Nicole A. | 6/17/07 like pretty much everyone else here... i think this song is about a perfect summer spent between a guy and a girl... but like all vacations... it has to come to an end and he has to leave. its come and gone to late... meaning basically that it happened too fast and maybe possibly also meaning that finding someone as great as her came at the wrong time because it was during vacation when you cant keep the people that you meet... and the plane ride home is the only time he has left to really remember all the time they spent together and still feel like hes on vacation remembering the bliss and everything until he lands back home and has to face reality... and the songs on the radio ofcourse remind him of her and their time. I feel like he never gave her any of his contact info which he now regrets... so he keeps going to the bar (where they spent alot of time together?) in hopes that she will show up one day and they can be together... and i think the whole verse about reading her books and stuff is basically pretty obvious... summer vacation is vacation away from school.... and hes telling her to keep studying and whatnot for school... but to not get so distracted with schoo that she forgets to have fun... worst way to break up | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/4/07 i think this song is about a guy having to break up with his girlfriend that he is falling out of love with, doesnt know why he just is. he didnt want to hurt her and it hurts him a lot too (hes bruised). he reminises about there vacations and fun memories but is leaving. in the end he wants her to have a great life (read books but stay out late) but part of him wants to see her later in life to see if there could ever be anything again. different take | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/4/07 i don't really know why i'm submitting my thoughts here but at any rate i seem to be the only who thinks he's glad to leave. well, glad is to light of a word, but he's relieved to be free of all his former obligations to love, to her. he's in flight, unfettered and free. he is terrified because freedom is a terrifying and rutheless thing, it gives us license to make mistakes larger than we can handle and to ruin everything, but that freedom is necissary. so yeah, he hurts now that he's left her and he wonders, was it right? can he go back? of course he wonders. but he can't.
