Scent Of The Obscene

SikTh

Yeah, I've seen your second face
What is your moral for today, is it still lies and trickery?
I don't understand why
This man has a thousand faces.
How can I put my trust in this presentation?
What is your little scheme today?
It was so cool before you came.

Always
Always
Lying.

Lie to my face again.

All that you ever wanted
Was to see (to see)
How much you could take
From me.

One day you may see
The half man, which you aspire to be.
With your selfish lies and your selfish greed
You fuckin' lied to me

The scent of the obscene...

Draw trust from whoever fell
For this display of deceit.
Deceived.

Makes you
Smile again.
Look into your soul again.
Look at,
Look within your soul.

All I see in you is
How you need (you need)
To think about the ones
You deceived.
Why can't you see
The hurt you cause?
Or can you now see
The untruth, which makes no sense to me?

Now, see no morals, untrue
Now that I've seen through you
Something of no morals, untrue
Now that I've seen through you
Something of no morals.
Untrue.

    This is about fake, two-faced people who care about no-one but themselves.

    Musically, it's stunning, and the interlude in the middle of the song is one of the most haunting, atmospheric and beautiful things i've ever heard.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
