Meaning of All Songs

[jmhonline]

Is there a definitive list of all the meanings for every creed song? I've seen certain songs here and there but not much. thanks

[rabidgopher04]

They never said there was a particular meaning for any song. It is for you whatever you want it to be. That's pretty much the answer and the meaning of all the songs.

That is incorrect. I have read stapp say exactly why a song was written, etc. WAWO is one example.

Here's a good site for Creed song meanings: http://www.geocities.com/totallycreed/meanings.htm Of course, not all of those are probably the actual song meanings, but I liked the way the guy interpretted some of the songs.

[Ana4Stapp]

I recall Stapp saying he didnt like telling the real meaning of the Creed songs cuz he wanted who every fan could be able to understand them on their own way...except by WAWO and Lullaby, of course. ;)

and yeah, Titan I know the link you put here, but those are the guy's interpretations...

Ummm...no, I am not incorrect. WAWO is the only song that Scott has explicitly said what the meaning is. The rest of them are for all of us to figure out.

That's a new one. I've been following the band very closely since 1997 and never heard that one before. I think you're mixed up.

If you say so. Thanks anyways

I read tons. why would I care what tremonti said? obviously, it would be more important what stapp said (and I don't mind what other fans think as well since some songs are lost on me till I read someone else's perspective), and stapp has commented even though some posters deny this one minute and confirm it another

Yeah, I personally liked the way he interpretted them, so I thought I'd post the link on here.

You're right... none of the band members, including Stapp, ever gave a real meaning for any of the songs besides WAWO and I guess Lullaby... they want us to interperate them the way we want to.... it's supposed to make us apperciate the songs more.... U can find site with ppl giving what they interperate the songs to mean, but nothing from the band.... and lots of people have come up with some awesome song meanings

[Creed7352]

i know stapp has said where he was at when writing some of the songs, but i don't think he really ever gave a definitive meaning to them...other than WAWO and Lullaby.

let's see if we can list the ones he's talked about where he was when he wrote them...

MOP - the famous high on mushrooms story
Higher - read a book on lucid dreaming
WTLF - friends' suicide
WAWO - jagger
Lullaby - lullaby to jagger

i think that's it...anyone else have any? i'm having trouble remembering off the top of my head.

IIRC I heard one time that Beautiful was about his ex-wife or their divorce or something like that. But I'm not sure if that's what Scott mentioned or what someone else thought of.

[titan9]

I thought I heard that Beautiful was about an ex-girlfriend, who dumped Stapp but wanted to get back together with him after MOP became the hit album that it was. I cannot recall what interview I read that in, though, but I am positive that Stapp said that.

I gotta say, I don't agree with that guy much... Although he had some real good points.

[titan9]

I don't completely agree with him either, but I agree with the vast majority of it.

[The Lithium]

Yeah, maybe. But I remember hearing Stapp saying that Stand Here With Me is written for the fans and for the energy they all share, the band and the fans, on a live show. (He said that on a bootleg I heard)

[titan9]

Hmm, I didn't know that. I've always thought of it as being about someone, perhaps a mother or father figure, that inspires you to dream big and to pursue your interests. You know, a positive influence.

That's the explanation for Beautiful I've heard. Can't remember where I heard it, but it was a spoken interview..I heard the sound clip of it somewhere.

[Creed7352]

ah...another one i remember now

wash away those years is about one of his friends who was raped and she told him about it a few years after it happened...i remember that one from a concert i saw in 99..stapp told us that before they played it.

i heard the same thing about SHWM, it was about the fans.

This is the first time I get this "prooved", but I've always thought it was about it. I remember Stapp saying this on a bootleg: "I think there millions of women out there who are affected by this"... That was a good clue, I guess...

[StappsSaviour]

it suuuuuure was!
i knew that and iv never even been to a concert!
DAMN NEW ZEALAND!
lolz
and i thought that beautiful was not only about stapp but tremo, phillips and marshall as well....
with all their hardships with women, so to speak

[adparaiki]

i always thought stand here with me was a song to tremonti and the fans.

[StappsSaviour]

i guess so
just depends on how u look @ it i guess
