| Manowar – Guyana (Cult of the Damned) Lyrics

Awesome song, one of Manowar's best. Lyrically it's great too, sometimes Manowar lyrics are painful to read but these are very well done. Love the line:
"Now all together we lived as we died
On your command, by your side" |

| Sodom – Agent Orange Lyrics
| 15 years ago
|
Yep, Agent Orange was the name given to a certain type of herbacide that the US military used to make clearings in Vietnam. They didn't know it at the time, but Agent Orange was a carcinogen(cancer causing agent) and a really strong one too. So thousands of vietnamese civilians, and US soldiers died from exposure to the chemical. And even still to this day, children are born with birth defects and mental retardation as a result of Agent Orange.
Great song too, heavy as hell. It has one of the meanest sounding choruses I've ever heard. "agent orange....fire that doesn't burn!!" |

Man this song is a masterpiece, it's just so perfect in every way. It's surprisingly bombastic for Elliot Smith, but he pulls it off so well.
The drug references are thick in this one. |

The dirty sounding guitar really makes this song, it almost seems out of place in a song like this but works so well.
I agree with bear hug, it's just a clever way of describing a failed relationship. |

The vocals in this song are so perfect, it has to be my favorite vocal performance ever. Even though the vocals only last for what, like a minute? Still it's such a beautiful song, I only wish it were longer. |

This song is just cool as hell, if it was written basically as a joke then that just makes it even more awesome. Love that final verse, and at the very end when he screams out "like a healing hand!" |

| The Sisters of Mercy – Marian Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
This song creates such a dark and depressing atmosphere, matching the lyrics so well.
I have no clue what it's really about, but judging by the mood of the song, it sounds like it's about a man on the verge of suicide. He's searching for someone to pull him out of a deep depression, I'm not sure if he actually knows Marian, or he's just calling out to someone in general. |

| Willie Nelson – Seven Spanish Angels Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
Can't believe that there are no comments on this classic.
To me it sounds like it's about an American who went down to Mexico and fell in love with a Mexican girl(note he specifically mentions that she has brown eyes) in a time when it probably wasn't a good idea for an American to be in Mexico with a Mexican girl. And the wrong people found out about it, and they came to take the guy away, back to America. But he refuses to leave, and makes a stand only to be gunned down. The woman decides that she is gonna do the same, they both die and the spanish angels take them away.
I guess it's pretty straight forward, but it's a good piece of storytelling none-the-less. |

| The Fixx – One Thing Leads To Another Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
This is a very clever song, despite it's almost pop sound. It certainly sounds as if he's describing a president, or at least some type of leader.
This song has such a good vibe to it, it flows so well, it's just a perfectly made song I don't know what else to say about it. |

Haha this song is awesome, I'm not sure if there's a hidden sexual innuendo going on here or not, but never the less it's hilarious. It's also one of their best songs musically, the guitar playing is great, and Jack Black has some really good vocal melodies. |

Because pretty much every other song on Touched by the Crimson King is based off of the book, if you have to ask why people assume these things then maybe you should do a google search or something.
Personally I have no clue what the song is about, but it's beautiful, short and sweet. |

| Oasis – Champagne Supernova Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
This song is simply timeless, Wonderwall may have gotten all the attention but Champagne Supernova is every bit as good or better.
It has a lot of sentimental value to me, it was the song I remember the most from a period of time where I lost someone very close to me. Very emotional song, beautiful, classic, and one of the best things to come out of the 90's. |

| The Jesus and Mary Chain – Happy When It Rains Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
This song is amazing, it's so damn dark and somber, but kinda uplifting at the same time. I love the tone of his voice in the verses, he sounds like he's not even trying to sing or like he doesn't care, Robert Smith had that same style in some of the earlier The Cure songs.
The lyrics to this are great too, it kinda sounds like he's singing about a girl who might have treated him bad but he's so in love with her that he almost enjoys the pain she causes. But I dunno, a lot of the lines in the verses are just plain weird. |

This song is beautiful, so soft and somber, yet dark and moody at the same time. The chorus is brilliant, even though I'm not entirely sure what it means, it's a great sounding metaphor. Reminds me a bit of the Doors song The End, Ian sounds a lot like Jim Morrison in this one too. |

This song is very Beatles-esque, and the lyrics are amazing. I swear every Echo and the Bunnymen song, no matter how happy it sounds, has a dark undertone to it, either in the lyrics or the music itself. |

| Ugly Kid Joe – Everything About You Lyrics

Yeah this song is timeless. Youthful, rebelious lyrics that I'm sure any teenage or 20-something can relate too. Not to mention the fact that it's one of the most catchy songs I've ever heard.
The voice at the beginning is Pat from old Saturday Night Live skits, he/she had her own movie too. Pat was really a chick though, Julia Sweeney. |

I have to admit I have no clue what this song is about either, very abstract lyrics. Although it does appear to be about some sort of broken heart thats about all I can make out.
Such a beautiful song, it creates this "swimming" effect it almost makes you dizzy. Echo and the Bunnymen were great at making dark atmospheric pop songs, and like all their songs this one has a really dark undertone to it. |

Wow, very suprised to see these guys on here. A hard rock band from Louisville, KY these guys were/are seriously good. Not sure if they are still around. Pretty much all of their songs were horror songs, I don't think there's alot of depth here. But they are very good lyrics for what they are. |

| Metal Church – Watch The Children Pray Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
I agree with Kylekraze totally. The song feels very apocalyptic, people are dying needlessly and the narrator is finally realizing this now as he's dying and he imagines the children praying for a brighter future. Although he seems to die willingly, and others die with him, not really sure what to make of it all really.
Such a haunting and beautiful song though. |

| Audioslave – Like a Stone Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
|
The line, "I'll wait for you there, like a stone" is so simple yet so powerful. Such a great metaphor. Think about what a stone is, a stone knows nothing but to "wait" it's entire existence is spent waiting. A stone can lie dormant and "wait" for thousands of years. To wait for someone or something "like a stone" is like the ultimate way to express that. |
