Cold and silent, soiled face I will wash it all away,
With my love,
That's all she's ever needed, from me
It's my time, to mother,
One of my own in my life,
I am so alone, left with no one
In my life, I'm so alone

Life submissiveness,
Hypnotizing the ignorant a little boy's best friend's always his mother,
At least that's what she said,
Life of a simple man,
Taught that everyone else is dirty,
And their love is meaningless,
I'm just a soiled dirty boy,
I'm just a soiled dirty boy,

Sheltered life innocence,
Insulated memories, spark reflections of my head,
Duality in my consciousness,
Caught in the war of hemispheres,
Between the love lost in my head,
Mommy do you still live inside of me,
I'm so lost in my life without any guiding,
Protected me my whole life from everything,
Nailed shut the doors to the shrine,
To screen your dead eyes from me and my sickness,
Mutilate and sew my new clothes for masquerading,
Aprons of flesh corpse scalped hair with skin upon my face,

Deliver the remains from her womb of earth,
Prep the rack and tie up for new love's rebirth,
Covert understanding of novice surgery,
I'll focus concentration and only take just what I need
For sickness I'm masticating,
Dancing and masturbating,
Celebrate in fields of night with skin upon my face

If I soak my hands in others blood am I sick,
If I wash my hands in others blood am I sick,
If I drench myself in others blood am I sick,
If I bathe myself in others blood

Blame mother for the sickness,
Mutilate and sew my new clothes for masquerading,
Aprons of flesh corpse scalped hair with skin upon my face,
Dance and masturbate in night light by myself

Nothing is left for me to gain they're coming to take me far away

Life of a simple man taught that everyone else is dirty and love is meaningless
I'm so soiled
Soiled

    One of mudvayne's greatest songs, this is a true story about that murderer, Gein.

    You should look up the dude. He wasn't actually much of a murderer. He actually just dug up recently buried women for a while. Finally, he actually killed two women, and that's when the police found him. They walked in his house, and it was decorated with bones and everything. This song is so badass, you can see inside Gein's head.

    Also the film Ed Gein is about, yep, you guessed it, Ed Gein, there are also meant to be other films that have told the story of old Eddie, but I can't remember their names.

    You know, dont take this the wrong way but I think some of the stuff Gein did is pretty amazing and-dare I say it-cool. Not like digging up the bodies and murdering and stuff,but just like, how he made clothes from flesh and furniture from bones. I actually wouldnt mind learning how to do that, If the flesh and bone was procured in a more...ah...shall we say, scrupulous way. Anywho, just thought I'd add that. dont freak, ok?

    I think you need some help, serious help, such as treatment, in a home, a "speacial" home, where they can take care of you and well get you out of normal society!

    If the recounting of the Gein story sounds familiar, you probably saw "Psycho" and remember the Buffalo Bill character from "The Silence of the Lambs". I love my mother too.

    Watch these guys in concert . . . You can see true pain on Kud's face when he sings emotional songs, such as this or Death Blooms, etc. But yeah, this one was easy it's about Ed Gein . . . the general public can relate this if they want to leading a sheltered life and religion fucking people up when they are finally faced with the real world

    lol fortysix i was reading thru and i was like LOL! what the f*ck he just admited to loving his mum... anyways yeah i also think its about Kud talking about hwo he related to Serial Killers... i think he used Gein as a sterotype so people would know what hes talking about without acctually saying Killer in the song...

    rather like the technique Slipknot uses in Eyeless with Marlin Brando

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"
Album art
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.
Album art
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.
Album art
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.
Album art
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
