This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
This is a reckoning,
A cliched cut of lying tongue
Revenge never goes out of style
Gorilla honing trigger finger that makes gorilla man
Ingrained, there's hate within us all
Spiraling I've lost my footing once again
I'm flailing in a tantrum of disgust!
When life holds nothing sacred,
When the loveless turn to loathe
We'll witness this final threatened pose
Oh mother war,
I sleep in your arms tonight
I'm burning, I'm burning for your love
This juggarnaut of bronze and alcohol
Machines of vengeance now are born
Of vengeance we are born
To our graves these grudges shall be sworn
Behold the death of emotions never mourned
We'll die before we crawl
Twisted ministers of death, praying for a bullet
Hail, gorilla suffocate gorilla, maim
An education in howling
Ministers of death, we'll be praying
Praying for this bullet, hail
Gorilla suffocate
Gorilla maim
An education in complete misanthropy
A cliched cut of lying tongue
Revenge never goes out of style
Gorilla honing trigger finger that makes gorilla man
Ingrained, there's hate within us all
Spiraling I've lost my footing once again
I'm flailing in a tantrum of disgust!
When life holds nothing sacred,
When the loveless turn to loathe
We'll witness this final threatened pose
Oh mother war,
I sleep in your arms tonight
I'm burning, I'm burning for your love
This juggarnaut of bronze and alcohol
Machines of vengeance now are born
Of vengeance we are born
To our graves these grudges shall be sworn
Behold the death of emotions never mourned
We'll die before we crawl
Twisted ministers of death, praying for a bullet
Hail, gorilla suffocate gorilla, maim
An education in howling
Ministers of death, we'll be praying
Praying for this bullet, hail
Gorilla suffocate
Gorilla maim
An education in complete misanthropy

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

@[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 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.

“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.
the songs' true name is Statutory Ape and is just a play of words ; rape has nothing to do with it. And he probably believed it was Rape because on Limewire there are many files named Statutory Rape. But it should be changed.
It is actualy called 'statutory ape'! it even says on the back of the album. although the real word is 'statutory rape', this song title is a play on words. This song is about gorila warfare and politics.
The title 'statory ape' could refer to gorila warfare and how terorists and polotics are slowly fucking us all over... hense 'statutory rape'. well... thats what i get from the lyrics, i may be wrong... anyone else wanna help me out on this?
No,no you are correct. The man who told you it is supposed to be "statutory rape" is the dumb shit.
Half you people are fucking retarded Statutory Rape what the fuck is this shit?!?! Its Staturory APE you fucking felcher. ANyway yeah who ever said this was an anti-war song go play on traffic your dumb. Do you people know what Band this is and what the hell they stand for?!?!? again half of you people are retarded!
Clearly, bdfXxX, you're the fucking felcher here. If you cannot see what is plainly before you, as well as blasting into your fucking ears at however many damned WATS our headphones carry, then yes, you are, indeed, a hypocrite. The song IS about being against war, and how the act of war itself is like rape. I agree with more than half of the people who have posted on here, mainly blind_247 because he/she seems to know what they are fucking saying. <br /> So before you feel like going about and judging everyone else here, go fuck yourself.
For one thing, its Statutory Ape....and for another thing...
This song is about the hitler youth in Germany. The Hitler's youth were refered to as Ape's because of their bushy eye brows and dominant brow bones. If you've ever noticed, germans typically have more dominant eye brow bone structures. This is where the Ape part comes into play, the rest of the song is very self explanitory if you just think about it in this mind frame.
its "ape" you retard why do you think they have an ape mascot?
Obviously it's Ape. They even have a dude in a gorilla costume at most of their shows.
Personally, I think its meanings is more about the indoctrination of youth to be warmongers. Gorilla honing trigger finger that makes gorilla man. Although I generally support troops simply because they kill shit, I also see how silly it is that so many during and afterward define themselves as that killer. That's what makes them 'men'.
Statutory rape is when you bang a youngun' so, even though soldiers are supposed to be at least 18, that's still very young, and so many lose their humanity from of it; the young are mindfucked to become apes.
No idea if that's what he meant but that's what I think.
It's Statutory APE!!!!!!!
Gorilla honing trigger finger that makes gorilla man Ingrained, there's hate within us all
Oh mother war, I sleep in your arms tonight I'm burning, I'm burning for your love
Its obviously an anti-war song out of its overall statement.
Someone needs to change the title. It's one of the key metaphors in the song. And it is "Statutory Ape" whoever the hell barabbas is.
ya even the adds on this web page are for sex offending right now, haha
