| HIM – Wicked Game (Chris Isaak cover) Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Hmm... where to start? (1) HIM is not in any way, shape, or form a Satanistic band. Ville always sings about God, Christ, The Resurrection, The Sacrament, Commandments, and many other allusions to the Bible. Evidently, the songwriter (who is extremely talented, I might add) must know a thing or two from that sacred Christian Book. I'm not trying to say that they are a Christian band either, but they are not Satanists. A key example of this is the song "The Sacrament". Go listen to it and THEN tell me that they worship Satan. I once went to one of their concerts and heard Ville mention God a couple of times before the night was through, not even in songs, but when he would talk to the audience. Plus, the Heartagram is similar to the Pentagram, a symbol of Wiccans and Magick (If I offend anyone who participates in any sort of witchcraft or magick with any false information, I apologize). Witches DO NOT worship Satan, but a God and Godess. Satan is no part of their religion, and your saying that a plainly Christian man is a Satanist may offend someone who DOES worship Satan, putting you in a bad spot. (2) You simply CAN'T worship God and Satan. It just doesn't work. Not even a turncoat could pull that off. Sorry. (3) HIM has no particular meaning, although it is commonly known to stand for His Infernal Majesty, which is a complete misunderstanding. Sorry, Loves. (4) Both of you, wiggles_666 and quiffporn, are entitled to your own opinions, and are also alowed to voice them by your rights as an American citizen. The First Amendemnt of the Constitution makes sure of that. But I am pretty sure, quiffporn, that all of the HIM fans, including myself, would appreciate it if you did not leave any negative comments about the band. Even though there is nothing and no-one telling you you can't, it is just common courtesy. (5) I believe this song is Ville saying his world was falling apart, and only this person could make it better. He says that people will do things that they normally wouldn't in order to get something or someone they want; it can cause them to be someone they aren't or do something stupid. He never thought that this person would mean this much to him, that he could need them so much. He doesn't want to fall in love with this person because he knows he is going to get hurt. In the end he realizes that no matter what, love will hurt you, and he says he does want to fall in love with the person. At the very end, Ville states that "Nobody loves no-one". This double negative translates into 'everybody loves someone'. (6) I do agree, dieyoupig, Mr. Ville Valo is quite a sexy beast. I always tend to go for tall skinny guys in eyeliner... =) This here is just my interpretation, and a crappy one at that, but it is 3 in the morning and I'm tired so it's just half-arsed. As I was saying, everyone has their own interpretation of every song, and this is mine. <3 .. MU+iLA+3_M3 |

| Linkin Park – Breaking The Habit Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Personally, this song to me is about self-mutilation, and MethMeth hit it dead on. But I think that that's only because I personally have the same problem, and I put the song into terms that fit my circumstances. Depending upon one's situation is how they will interpret this song. If someone has a drug problem, they might suggest the song being about drug addiction. Someone else who has a problem with staying committed to one person may propose this song as being one talking about "breaking the habit" of cheating on their spouse or significant other, and becoming a faithful and loyal lover. No matter how you slice it, different people with different problems may have their own suggestion for the true meaning of this song. The only people who know what the actual meaning is are the boys of Linkin Park. I'd also like to point out that at the end of the music video for the song, "Chester" ends up falling off the roof of that high up building, and (I suppose) dieing. I believe that the lines "I'll never fight again. and this is how it ends", and "I'm breaking the habit tonight" have two meanings. They could refer to suicide as the way out, but noone can ever be sure. I also believe the lines could mean that he's willing to "break his habit" of self-mutilation and get help or to just stop himself from doing it with strong self-will. Sorry for putting in my rambling two cents... I just felt the need to do it. <3 .. Mu+iLA+3_M3 |
