What Lyrics Mean To You

This came up in class the other day and I wanted to blog about it, but I forgot about what I wanted to it. Thankfully, it just came back into my head.
In case anyone hasn't noticed, I have a tattoo on my neck. They are lyrics to one of my favorite songs and the simple phrase carried a lot of meaning with me. Within the past year (since I got the tattoo), I have seen the band twice. I showed them @ warped tour, but they were busy and didn't have time to carry on a conversation. They were just here a couple months ago for their last tour ever and I decided to ask them. I asked the keyboardist who came up with them and he told me the singer did. I went to go talk to the singer and he was incredibly drunk, which was disappointing but I figured he would be more honest. Unfortunately, he told me that they mean whatever I want them to mean. I was disappointed, but I could see why he did it. If I got a lifelong commitment on me that meant something totally different from what he meant it to be, it would have been upsetting.
Every time I had met them (five times), I had asked them to play this song but they never did....which might have been a good thing. If I saw them play it high and drunk and mess it up, it might have ruined it for me.
Why I wanted to say this is because the great thing about music is you can mold the meaning to fit yourself and make it your own. Everyone takes my tattoo to mean something different and I don't like to tell them my true intentions and thoughts on it. I guess that's the point.
