I miss you, miss you

Hello there
The angel from my nightmare
The shadow in the background of the morgue
The unsuspecting victim
Of darkness in the valley
We can live like Jack and Sally if we want
Where you can always find me
And we'll have Halloween on Christmas
And in the night we'll wish this never ends
We'll wish this never ends

I miss you, I miss you
I miss you I miss you

Where are you?
And I'm so sorry
I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight
I need somebody and always
This sick strange darkness
Comes creeping on so haunting every time
And as I stared I counted
The webs from all the spiders
Catching things and eating their insides
Like indecision to call you
And hear your voice of treason
Will you come home and stop the pain tonight
Stop this pain tonight

Don't waste your time on me
You're already the voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you)
Don't waste your time on me
You're already the voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you)

Don't waste your time on me
You're already the voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you)
Don't waste your time on me
You're already the voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you)
Don't waste your time on me
You're already the voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you)
Don't waste your time on me
You're already the voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you)

I miss you, I miss you
I miss you, I miss you
I miss you, I miss you
I miss you, I miss you

    I still cant wrap my head around the meaning of the hook. it made sense to me once.. really good sense. But now I'm just as confused as I'll ever be.

    This has to be one of the most emotional songs I've ever heard. It has the power to bring you back to a place where you wished you'd never return. Yet you listen to it over and over, regardless. The words, the melody.. his voice. So captivating. A persons voice never made me feel so alive, but on the verge of death. it makes me hurt.

    I agree this song can be interpreted in many ways. For me it will only ever mean one thing.

    (Hello there, the angel from my nightmare the shadow in the background of the morgue)

    I was in love with a man, who was no good for me. He was toxic. I couldn't get enough of him. I'd never been so addicted to anything in my life. This infatuation made me do things I would never do... I made a lot of mistakes. My life became a nightmare. And even though his magnetism was the reason for my self destruction... it didn't matter. I still had him. he would never leave me. The angel from my nightmare. The morgue, we were both headed there. we were waiting. it was okay, as long as he was there. I would die for him. this is how I felt about me.. and how he felt about me in return. the next line is him talking to me.

    The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley, we can live like jack and sally if we want where you can always find me and well have Halloween on Christmas and in the night, we'll wish this never ends well wish this never ends.

    I wasn't expecting my life to get so bad. I was a victim to his deadly charm. He would have loved for me to stay with him, in his misery. and he would never change. I would always find him there, he was not like the rest. he was backwards, and I was too. I never wanted to leave him. and even though even the brightest of days became dark, we never wanted it to end. we were content in our misery, because we had eachother.

    where are you? and I'm so sorry I cannot sleep, I cannot dream tonight I need somebody and always, this sick, strange darkness comes creeping on, so haunting everytime and as I stared I counted the webs from all the spiders gashing things and eating their insides like the indecision to call you and hear your voice of treason will you come home and stop this pain tonight stop this pain tonight

    Where are you? And I'm so sorry Probably the most emotional line in the whole song, but I cant really decide. obviously, it ended. We lost eachother. We were both alone, with nothing to do but stare at the ceiling and miss one another. sleep was not possible, dreaming was longed for, beacsue when we dreamed, we were together. being alone was hard. I never wanted to be alone, because it made me think about how I lost everything just to have him... and now he was gone just like everything else in my life. being alone made my mind wander to places he kept me out of. I needed him there to distract me. so he could keep doing what he was doing all along. distracting me from reality.

    the spiders are a metaphor for the emptiness, and how bad my stomach turned every time I wanted to pick up that phone.. or every time I did, and he never answered. Where was he? he was lost somewhere. His prescence was the only thing that would stop the pain of emptiness I felt. I just wanted him to come home, even though I knew we could never be.

    don't waste your time on me. you're already the voice inside my head. I miss you.

    I still don't know. don't bother trying to find me, you're already just a memory. but I will always love you. I miss you.

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”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
