And I want you, and I need to
Cut you and hold you in place, as I rip you apart
This blood on my face, but I loved you so hard
I can't escape, I'm crawling inside
You can't erase, this night that you died

To blanket the obscure (I was the victim, you can't deny this)
To leave you enraptured (I was the victim, you can't deny this)
to open the obscene (blood on my hands, as I had to drive this)
Fade to wet dream (home)

I watched you die, shut up and stay there and bleed
As I open you up and I watch while you scream
I can't get enough of your face in my dreams
I'm raping you blind, you can't believe
This night that you died

So far away

Rot, bitch, I'm gonna make you rot

    40 below summer is one of the better bands to come along in quite some time. This particular song is quite deranged lyric wise and reminds me of "never get caught" by American Head Charge. These guys have gotten a good size following now and deserve to be reconized as a talented alternative metal band!

    I asked Max from 40BS where does the title "Jonesin' " come from and he said he wrote the song about something really personal and to tell me where it came from and what it was about he would have to go into a lot of deep feelings; so I told him not to worry about it.

    I don't really get where the lyrics in this song could have came from though. When I hear this song and read the lyrics I kind of get the vibe that maybe a person murdered (and/or raped) someone they felt really strongly about but wasn't exactly being treated right. Perhaps a guy/girl murdering (and/or raping) their significant other.

    To me this is like killing someone you love violently in a dream, only to wake up and have her still be alive. Or most likely a past lover.

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.

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."
