And if they get me and the sun goes down into the ground
And if they get me, take this spike to my heart and
And if they get me and the sun goes down
And if they get me, take this spike and
You put the spike in my heart!

And if the sun comes up
Will it tear the skin right off our bones?
And then, as razor sharp white teeth
Rip out our necks, I saw you there

Someone get me to the doctor
Someone get me to a church
Where they can pump this venom
Gaping hole

And you must keep your soul
Like a secret in your throat
And if they come and get me
What if you put the spike in my heart?

And if they get me and the sun goes down
And if they get me, take this spike and

Can you take this spike?
Will it fill our hearts with thoughts of endless night time sky?
Can you take this spike?
Will it wash away this jet black feeling?

And now the nightclub sets the stage for this
They come in pairs
She said, "We'll shoot back holy water
Like cheap whiskey, they're always there"

Someone get me to the doctor
And someone call the nurse
And someone buy me roses
And someone burned the church

We're hanging out with corpses
And driving in this hearse
And someone save my soul, tonight
Please save my soul

Can you take this spike?
Will it fill our hearts with thoughts of endless night time sky?
Can you take this spike?
Will it wash away this jet black, now?

And as these days watch over time
And as these days watch over time
And as these days watch over us, tonight

And as these days watch over time
And as these days watch over time
And as these days watch over us, tonight

I'll never let them, I'll never let them
I'll never let them hurt you, not tonight
I'll never let them, I can't forget them
I'll never let them hurt you, I promise

Struck down, before our prime
Before you got off the floor

Can you stake my heart?
Can you stake my heart?
And these thoughts of endless night
Bring us back into the light
And this venom from my heart
And these thoughts of endless night
Bring us back into the light
Can you stake my heart?

Can you stake me before the sun goes down?

And as always, innocent like roller coasters
Fatality is like ghosts in snow

    alright, here's my remastered intepretation of "Vampires Will Never Hurt You" ;) :

    vampires=synonym for the society (in reference to anton lavey's satanic bible). He describes a "pychic vampire as follows (as much as i remember...long time ago, that i read it): A psychic vampire is a person who wears a mask and pretends to be somehow, that he is not. He is only nice to you, when he wants something and takes advantage of you. He has no feelings and is as cold as a vampire and he soaks you. You can't trust them and they have to die (says a.lavey)


    And if they get me and the sun goes down into the ground [If they get him=he becomes one of them, the sun=his heart will disappear] And if they get me take this spike to my heart and he rather wants to be dead than becoming one of them] And if they get me and the sun goes down [s.a.] And if they get me take this spike and You put the spike in my heart [s.a.]

    And if the sun comes up will it tear the skin right off our bones [if the sun=the heart comes up, it will tear the skin off our bodies=the masks we waer everyday will disappear and only our inner-selves will remain ] And then as razor sharp white teeth rip out our necks I saw you there [the vampires infect us with their virus=no feelings, dead...] Someone call the doctor, someone get me to a church [he searches for a place or someone to rescue him, church=place of god=only the feelings, the innerselves count, god sees through our masks; the church cannot be entered by the vampires] Where they can pump this venom gaping hole [heal him from the virus of the society]
    And you must keep your soul like a secret in your throat [you can't reveal you inner feelings, your inner-selve in our present society our else you're week or a loser] And if they come and get me You put the spike in my heart [s.a.]

    And if they get me and the sun goes down And if they get me take this spike and -Chorus- Can you take this spike? [s.a.] Will it fill our hearts with thoughts of endless Night time sky [not sure] Can you take this spike? Will it wash away this jet black feeling? [they spike=death as only possibility to get away from this OR this jet black feeling he has, coz no one understands him or coz the society's too dead, only money counts]

    And now the nightclub set the stage for this they come in pairs she said [the fake world of nightclubs, bars, etc...] We'll shoot back holy water like cheap whiskey they're always there [they/he will fight against this, they won't surrender] Someone get me to the doctor, and someone call the nurse [s.a.] And someone buy me roses, and someone burned the church [he searches for someone who is with him; the place to escape is gone] We're hanging out with corpses, we're driving in this hearse [corpses=the dead society which surrounds him every day, hearse=maybe life] Someone save my soul tonight, please save my soul [pretty obvious ;)] -Chorus-

    And as these days watch over time, and as these days watch over time [hm...not sure] And as these days watch over us tonight I'll never let them, I'll never let them I'll never let them hurt you now tonight [he won't let them hurt his love/his friend] I'll never let them, I can't forget them I'll never let them hurt you, I promise [s.a.] Struck down, before our prime Before, you got off the floor [also not sure, i'll think about that] Can you stake my heart? Can you stake my heart? Can you stake me before the sun goes down? [s.a.]


    someone understands what he's whispering at the end?? something with `ghosts in the snow´. I don't know....

    tell me what you think about it....

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
