Come to me, Ravenheart
Messenger of evil

You shadow of forgotten dreams
You come to take away
My hope on your black wings

Come and come to me, Ravenheart
Messenger of evil
Come to me. What's the news?
Here I'm still left lonely

Of love & hate the singers tell
But I feel more, more of both,
More than heaven & hell
I take a bow to destiny
Now I have really learnt my part
Once loving him, now hating love
I've made mistakes, my Ravenheart

So come and come to me, Ravenheart
Messenger of evil
Come to me. What's the news?
Here I'm still left lonely

Will I get back who I adore?
Thus spoke the raven: nevermore

So come and come to me, Ravenheart
Messenger of evil
Come to me. What's the news?
Here I'm still left lonely

Come to me [come to me], Ravenheart [Ravenheart]
Messenger of evil [Messenger of evil]
Come to me [come to me]. What's the news? [What's the news?]
Here I'm still left lonely

    I don't think they're anything like Evanescence other than they both have electric guitars, drums, and a female singer. There are a lot of huge differences in them.

    Oh shut up origin and go back to hearing chart music. This genre is not for you. Lisa is talented and has a sweet voice with a cute accent. Live with it. Their lyrics are nice and their music is good. Germany rocks^_^ the video for ravenheart has a good idea, but the production isn't excellent. Maybe you can't have a big budget when you aren't pop-wannabe-goth as evanescence? Just a thought. The next time origin, if you haven't anything good to say about a band, then comment the lyrics on a band you do like. Maybe... Evanescence? Anything else is just... sad.

    I really like the music in the beginning of this song, and I love the Edgar Allen Poe reference at the end!

    i don't think someone hurted somebody, i think the writer's lover died. that's because of the last phraze "thus spoke the raven: nevermore" that comes from Poe's poem "The raven" which is about death.

    This song is first of all about death, love, hate,dreams, all in the cycle with one end ,Death which is impersonated. The singer emphasizes the fact of accepting Death as a divinity and as a fate and as also as state of relief with its ending in dreams to the one who called Death.

    This was the first Xandria song I ever heard. Xandria is a "goth metal" band from Germany. Sort of like Evanescence, but with slightly quieter singing.

    I like these lyrics a lot, and the video for this song is really cool. But unfortunately the music for this song is really boring and generic. It's nothing special.

    I'm not sure what these lyrics mean. The most I can figure is that the song is about a guy, and the guy is referred to as "Ravenheart" I can't tell who hurts who, is she hurts him or he hurts her. Whatever lol

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
