| Song Title | Shattered Glass |
| Group/Artist Name | Britney Spears |
| Song Meaning | I think this song is about her telling her boyfriend to back off, because all they had is now broken, like glass that shattered.She's telling him that she's moved on, and that his new girlfriend isn't half as good as she was. Sheas telling her bf that it's his fault that he's going to keep on thinking about her, wondering if their relationship could have actually worked. |

| Song Title | Steppin' Out |
| Group/Artist Name | Joe Jackson |
| Song Meaning | This song 'Steppin Out' is a song about death and the afterlife. The first verse is about the materialistice world that humans have manifested. The mist on the window is the haze that falls over our 'last breath' as we are passing into the threshold of the afterlife. Dry your eyes is referring to the emotional response from our life flashing before our eyes, but if we 'look' and 'dry our eyes,' we'll see the spendor of Heaven. The second verse refers to the perfection and 'light' of Heaven-- that there will be no more fear or wants. 'Get into a car and drive to the other side' is the metaphor of our journey into the afterlife. The chorus refers to the fact that all of us will face our death; that we step into the 'unknown' and 'feared' night (our death), which is really the 'light' of our afterlife. Third verse again refers to our aging process and how quickly our life passes before and the fact of leaving all of our worldly possessions behind. The fourth verse refers to the restoration to our perfect and child-like selves in the afterlife. The taxi is a metaphor for our shared life experiences with other humans and our commonality that we all our on a 'ride' that ends with our deaths. 'We'll be there in just a while if you follow me' either refers to the fact that the speaker is aware and has already come to grips that life is really a 'short ride,' or it could be a metaphor for Jesus 'leading us to the Promised Land.' |

| Song Title | Stoney End |
| Group/Artist Name | Barbara Streisand |
| Song Meaning | Stoney End was written by Laura Nyro. It was about her struggle with lesbianism. Laura was brought up with a religious education. She was very closed to her mother and adored her as per her father. Laura married but her marriage disolved. The song states " I was brought up with the good book Jesus....till I read between the lines..." When she acknowledged her lesbian feelings she was scared and did not want to go "down that Stoney End"... she wanted to start over and be cradled in her mother's arms. She states that a storm raged within her soul. In biblical times women that did not confirm to thier religious customs were stoned.After her marriage broke up she had a female life partner. Laura Nyro Stoney End lyrics I was born from love and my poor mother worked the mines. I was raised on the good book Jesus till I read between the lines. Now I don't believe I want to see the morning. Going down the Stoney End, I never wanted to go down the Stoney End. Mama, let me start all over. Cradle me, mama, cradle me again. I can still remember him with love light in his eyes, but the light flickered out and parted as the sun began to rise, now I don't believe I want to see the morning. Going down the Stoney End, I never wanted to go down the Stoney End. Mama, let me start all over. Cradle me, mama, cradle me again. Never mind the forecast cause the sky has lost control, cause the fury and broken thunder's come to match my raging soul, now I don't believe I want to see the morning. Going down the Stoney End, I never wanted to go down the Stoney End. Mama, let me start all over. Cradle me, mama, cradle me. Going down the Stoney End, I never wanted to go down the Stoney End. Mama, let me start all over. Cradle me, mama, cradle me again… Laura Nyro Stoney End lyrics |
