| R.E.M. – Losing My Religion Lyrics | 7 years ago |
|
I just got to thinking about REM's "Losing My Religion", and wow, the lyrics are so creepy! Breaking it down: "Oh life, it's bigger It's bigger than you And you are not me The lengths that I will go to The distance in your eyes Oh no, I've said too much I set it up" (There is more to life than what we see and know, he is talking to the devil--he knows there is something bigger than the devil, and the devil isn't in the same place as him--he does anything the devil asks, and feels detached from him, that Lucifer doesn't care about all he does...HE DOESN'T, but ok! He is afraid of exposing himself to the world, how he is suffering spiritually--and then realizes someone has heard it all, and blames himself.) "That's me in the corner That's me in the spotlight Losing my religion Trying to keep up with you And I don't know if I can do it Oh no, I've said too much I haven't said enough" (He is backed into a corner spiritually, he feels he has no choice in which path to go on. He is in the spotlight of fame, losing his religion, trying to keep up with the devil. He doesn't know if he can keep up with the devil, and then realizes someone is hearing all of this, but now he has come to terms with his suffering, and wants people to hear about it.) "I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try" (He heard the devil laughing, trying to sing--through him, or someone else? His body was taken over by something outside of him.) "Every whisper Of every waking hour I'm choosing my confessions Trying to keep an eye on you Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool Oh no, I've said too much I set it up" (He is remorseful of his actions and behavior, to the point of being paranoid of those around him. He tries to think of ways to confess his sins, and is worried about the devil--he feels that by doubting the devil, he is being made a hurt, lost, and blinded fool--probably due to the company he keeps that loves the devil, making him doubt himself.) Consider this Consider this, the hint of the century Consider this, the slip That brought me to my knees, failed What if all these fantasies come Flailing around Now I've said too much (Think of this as a hint that there is good and evil, think of his failiure and slip up in writing a song about it--what if all of his perversions return? Now he said too much, he embarassed himself by being too open again in this song.) "I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try But that was just a dream That was just a dream" (Now he is convincing himself that he was dreaming, that the devil wasn't really laughing or trying to sing--he seems to have lost touch with reality, or wants to believe it is a dream so he can stay on his current path with the devil.) "That's me in the corner That's me in the spotlight Losing my religion Trying to keep up with you And I don't know if I can do it Oh no, I've said too much I haven't said enough" (He doesn't know if he can stay on his current path with the devil, he doubts that he can do it--and now wants to hide everything he's said in this song, he doesn't want people to make the connections in his lyrics, but then changes his mind and wants to say more. He is struggling spiritually, is in a spiritual dilemma.) "I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try But that was just a dream Try, cry, why try That was just a dream Just a dream Just a dream, dream" (He is in denial that the devil could have spoken or sung through him or someone else, and tries to dismiss it as being a dream, despite his suffering, and feeling like it is pointless to try and fight it or cry about it--he is happier in denial, thinking it was all a dream. By thinking it was all a dream, his life becomes bearable.) May Yah forgive these suffering music artists that try to cry out for help through their music! Many have fallen for the devil's lies, and have paid dearly for their fame and fortune. |

| Tori Amos – Silent All These Years Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
The meaning of this song can be interpreted in one of two ways. You can look to the artist's experiences and what they have said to explain the meaning behind the song, or you can look to the lyrics as they are and come to your own conclusions of what the song means. The mark of a truly great song, is that it can have more than one interpretation and reach a bigger audience on a personal level, and "Silent All These Years" is most definitely one of those songs. That being said, here is my analysis of the lyrics as they are: "Excuse me, but can I be you for a while?" She is singing of her insecurity, of wishing she could have someone else's life. "My dog won't bite if you sit real still" No one will come to save you if you are suffering silently. "I got the anti-Christ in the kitchen yellin' at me again Yeah, I can hear that" Someone is yelling at her=verbal abuse, and she can't block it out. She can discern that the verbal abuse is bad, and is dehumanizing her abuser by calling them the Anti-Christ. By dehumanizing a person, you separate yourself from being in any way like them, and make it easier to criticize them for being something less than human. "Been saved again by the garbage truck" The garbage truck is a reference to the people that would normally pass by houses on the regular, unaware of what was happening behind closed doors, and the ways people quiet down to save face when people are outside their homes to keep others out of their business. The garbage truck may also be a reference to the fact that the words from the verbal abuse are worthless, like garbage--but the garbage people will never know because things are quiet whenever they come by, and it is in those moments that she is saved from her abuse. "I got something to say you know but nothing comes" The fear a victim feels when dealing with an abuser--they have things to say, but are too afraid to say it for fear of retaliation...physical abuse? Psychological abuse? It can be any form of abuse. Their voice is silenced by fear. "Yes I know what you think of me you never shut up Yeah I can hear that" The words of the abuser are breaking her down, she already knows she isn't respected but she keeps hearing the same things, and it is breaking down her self-esteem. "But what if I'm a mermaid? In these jeans of his with her name still on it " She starts thinking, what if I am useless? Her self-esteem has been damaged. The jeans belonged to someone else--maybe a reference to how she feels she isn't his only woman, or a sign she has identified as a mermaid and disassociated herself from her true self--the woman whose name is on the jeans. "Hey, but I don't care 'Cause sometimes I said sometimes I hear my voice And it's been here Silent all these years" Sometimes she doesn't care about the abuse, and she knows herself and has so much to say. She acknowledges her silent suffering. "So you found a girl who thinks really deep thoughts What's so amazing about really deep thoughts? Boy, you best pray that I bleed real soon How's that thought for you?" So you found a girl who thinks deeply about life and you try to make sense of her deep thoughts. He fears getting her pregnant or she fears being pregnant--"bleed" can also be a reference to suicidal ideations or a way of saying she surrenders her very life to the abuse, and seeks his approval of her thoughts. "My scream got lost in a paper cup" A reference to a childhood game where you talk into a paper cup like a phone...she wants her innocence back. She wants someone to be on the other end of the string listening to her suffering, but no one is on the other end--her scream is lost, there is no one to hear it. "You think there's a heaven where Some screams have gone?" He thinks that the screams are normal--that their relationship is normal, and that this is how life is supposed to be. She wants to believe in a heaven, because she wants someone to hear her and save her. "I got 25 bucks and a cracker Do you think it's enough to get us there?" She feels she has nothing, and as much as she loves the idea of heaven--she doesn't feel like she has enough and/or doesn't deserve heaven. "Years go by Will I still be waiting For somebody else to understand?" Time passes and she wants her suffering acknowledged and understood by someone else. "Years go by If I'm stripped of my beauty And the orange clouds raining in my head" Time passes, and she ages physically--"orange clouds raining in my head"=depression and/or negative or suicidal thoughts coming and going. "Years go by Will I choke on my tears Till finally there is nothing left? One more casualty You know we're too easy, easy, easy" As time passes, she wonders if she will cry and hurt so much that it kills her. It is too easy to die instead of suffer. "Well, I love the way we communicate Your eyes focus on my funny lip shape" Things are better now, but she still feels insecure--like she is still being criticized and judged by him even when he isn't saying anything. "Let's hear what you think of me now But baby don't look up The sky is falling" She's heard everything he has to say about her at this point, and is telling him there are bigger things happening than what he thinks of her. "Your mother shows up in a nasty dress" His mother is trying to put on a facade and act like everything is ok, but she sees his mother's true colors and how nasty she is inside--the dress is no longer appealing because she is a nasty person. "And it's your turn now to stand where I stand Everybody lookin' at you Here, take hold of my hand Yeah, I can hear them" Now she empathizes with her abuser, because she sees how his mother abuses him--she wants to protect him from the abuse. "I've been here Silent all these years" She is still there, suffering silently |

| Kerli – Death Is In Love With Me Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| That being said, we might render this phoenix-like reference to Kerli's hope amid her mind-controlled confusion; the hope that if all these things come to pass, and she's a good puppet/slave for the Illuminati--that she will rise from the ashes with the coming of the Devil, and be able to live once again. What you never see her recognize in her songs, is that we are saved only through believing on Jesus Christ: and if Christianity weren't remotely truthful, then there wouldn't be so many people in the world working against it. Christians wouldn't be being persecuted in the Middle East, and Saudi Arabia wouls stop shredding Bibles and giving Bible thumpers death sentences!I honestly think that she is a lost individual, which is reflected in her music lyrics and videos. After all...art imitates life! | |
| Kerli – Death Is In Love With Me Lyrics | 13 years ago |

"This time it's different It's our final kiss My final departure I'll rise up from the fire My wings are not strong yet But I can fly" In this part, Kerli looks to the future, when she is liberated from her captors. She passes away--but wait: she rises from the FIRE...so she goes to hell? The fact that she is rising from the fire, and she has wings--brings to mind the phoenix rising out of the ashes. But what does it mean? A phoenix rising out of the ashes? The occult meaning behind this is as follows: "The Phoenix ... is believed to be a divine bird going back to Egypt ... This Phoenix destroys itself in flames and then rises from the ashes. Most occultists believe that the Phoenix is a symbol of Lucifer who was cast down in flames and who they think will one day rise triumphant. This, of course, also relates to the rising of Hiram Abiff, the Masonic 'christ'." [Bill Schnoebelen, quoted by Dr. C. Burns, "Masonic and Occult Symbols Illustrated", p. 123] |

That being said, one can now begin to make sense of this song. Kerli perceives death as being in love with her, because as a mind control victim, DEATH is her master. She then goes on to say "My life...Too soon to be hunted, not yet"--meaning, she has not yet fulfilled her purpose as a mind-controlled Illuminati puppet, so DEATH will not come to her yet. "Cause entirely,And eternally I know since for years You have been taking me away But I always come back Because there's been so much to do" In this part, we see that she has been overcome by something that's been dragging her down, making her feel as though she is already dead...that she has felt this way forever, "entirely, and eternally"--but that she keeps coming back to sing, despite how dead she feels inside, and because she hasn't fulfilled her purpose as a puppet/slave. |

Since there is much imagery of butterflies in Kerli's music videos, as well as much symbolism that might indicate she has split personalities (a characteristic of mind-controlled individuals, as their brains are compartmentalized in multiple ways, and they develop "triggers")--I have come to the conclusion that she is a mind control victim and puppet of the Illuminati. Her videos desensitize us to occult symbols, while encouraging the Illuminati's New World agenda. The consistent use of butterflies makes me think she was a product of Project Monarch--and if this is the case, then this song would make sense on a whole different level than how many people might interpret it. You see, the Freemasons, Illuminati, and devil worshippers all love DEATH. DEATH is their master. They believe that if they control the messages we receive via mass media, music, education, and the like--that we will all obediently go along with their plans to cut the world population down, in light of limited resources. They have already begun this agenda, in their pushing of the H1N1 vaccine, which has ALREADY caused 3,587 MISCARRIAGES that the CDC has DISMISSED! http://childhealthsafety.wordpress.com/2010/09/22/flu-vaccine-caused-3587-us-miscarriages-%C2%A0stillbirths/ |
