Tiamat, Adramelch, Acheron, Baal
Burning up the city 'neath unholy citadel
Summoning Leviathan, ready to attack
Evil one awakens all the gods of Metal Black

We come alive at the dawn of the night
We're raising hell and you know that it' right
The music screams on a wing and a prayer
We turn the volume up, come watch if you dare

Hear me calling - Join the pack
Raised in hellfire - Metal Black

This ain't no music for light hearted folk
We tell it straight to the rich and the broke
We're long haired punks and we don't give a care
We turn the mayhem up, join if you dare

Hear me calling - Join the pack
Raised in hellfire - Metal Black

A celebration of everything loud
This is the music to incite a crowd
Satanic forces lays everything bare
We turn the danger up, feel it in the air

Hear me calling - Join the pack
Raised in hellfire - Metal Black
Venom's calling - Join the pack
Raised in hellfire - Metal Black yeah
Metal Fucking Black

    this song is awesome! i find some humor in it given that it's an all-time favorite of mine. i find it humorous because the vocals at the end right before the final words "black metal" are sung are trying to scare me (the series of moans i'm referring to), but it is entertaining to hear that because it doesn't scare me. and what is funny is that this song is perfect to scare innocent people with when giving out candy for Halloween. these guys better make it into the rock and roll hall of fame or something! they deserve total recognition in the entire world of music! legends of rock they are!

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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
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.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
