| CocoRosie – Rainbowarriors Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| OH MY! shinkickedjim4- I'm guessing that you don't know much about the connection between the homosexual population and the environment, do you? Humans are breeding profusely and we're encroaching upon animals and their habitats. How many homosexual couples do you know who want children but physically can not have them? They typically take in children without parents rather than have their own children. This is a practice that will cut down on human population AND provide parents for children. Sometimes if theories or things seem to be outside of the lines, you have to color outside of the lines to gain perspective. Life as a homosexual is not an easy one because their contributions to society are seriously overlooked. Also, one does not have to be homosexual to be a rainbow warrior... but homosexuals are certainly a part of the group. | |
| Ozzy Osbourne – Flying High Again Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Having bipolar disorder and knowing that Ozzy has it too, I would have to say that is what this song is about. "Flying high again" is more or less referring to the manic phase. "Feelin' like I shoulda kept my feet on the ground Waitin' for the sun to appear" People who don't have bipolar disorder don't realize that when one is manic, they actually greet the sun and they can't sleep. "Mamma's gonna worry I been a bad bad boy No use sayin' sorry It's something that I enjoy" This I think refers to mood swings. Pointing out the blunt truth is seen by "normal" folks as rude. Why feel sorry about it if people will grow from it? "I can see through the mountains watch me disappear I can even touch the sky Swallowing colours of the sound I hear Am I just a crazy guy. (You bet)." The longer you stay awake in a manic, the more dis-integrated you feel. Your physical self no longer confines you consciousness. "Daddy thinks I'm lazy he don't understand Never saw inside my head People think I'm crazy but I'm in demand Never heard a thing I said." Of course, this must be referring to the downside of the manic... depression. People love Ozzy, but I don't think he feels understood by his fans, just empty admiration. |

| Nine Inch Nails – Ringfinger Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This song is about bloodletting. The beat at the beginning is about the sound your heartbeat makes when you ground and center- The following verse refers to being a slave to darkness/dark intentions/anger/hatred: "Well you've got me working so heard lately Working my hands until they bleed...*(bloodletting)*... If i was twice the man I could be I'd still be half of what you need Still you lead me and I follow Anything you ask you know I'll do But this one act of consecration is what I ask of you" The next verse is an incantation used during the bloodletting rite: "Ringfinger Promise carved in stone Deeper than the sea Ringfinger Sever flesh and bone And offer it to me" the next verse is about the darkness being a slave to blood: "You just left me nailed here Hanging like Jesus on the cross I'll be dying for your sins And aiding to the cause" Again the incantaion: "Ringfinger Promise carved in stone Deeper than the sea Ringfinger Sever flesh and bone And offer it to me" This next verse is about acquiring relics (hair, nails, things likt that) of the person to be 'cursed'- and playing stupid in order to get it: "Wrap my eyes in bandages Confessions I see through I get everything I want When I get part of you" Again the incantations... |

OH yeah, When I hear this song I want to laugh and I want to cry. My first love is no longer with me due to his untimely death and we we together long enough to have children. This song, it's a perfect portrait of my situation. Applying to all versions or it. A twisted co dependency on a deceased love, strange things happen. Once I get my life going again, he shows up in spirit form and it triggers happiness because i miss him and I'm glad he is around...but also, He is as real as the pain I feel. Sometimes I think I am going to go crazy. The difference between being in love with a spirit and a physical person is that in the physical world you have to live a life,generally, and you wish to share all of the sensations life has to offer with your soul mate. If your soul mate passes away at a very young age, you're left with a half life. I thought I was the only person in the world who felt this way. I'm very tired of grieving, but the love I feel will not let me stop. If I let go of the pain, perhaps the love I feel will disappear? I feel him in spirit all around me. "letting go" is a two way thing. I can't say "I don't love you, I don't miss you, I don't need you" when he comes to me. I want him around- but it is depressing, as I miss his touch, I miss his face... He is around, (and I have hard evidence in the form of a photograph, if anyone's interested in seeing it) |

"I’m so tired of being here Suppressed by all my childish fears"- Tired of being alive because I'm afraid to live... "And if you have to leave I wish that you would just leave" If I have to get over you, then just go "'cause your presence still lingers here And it won't leave me alone" All that I see around me reminds me of you "You used to captivate me By your resonating light Now I’m bound by the life you left behind" I fell so in love with you, our love became a child. "Your face, it haunts My once pleasant dreams " Everytime I look at our child, I'm haunted by the dreams we had together... He looks like you. "Your voice, it's chased away All the sanity in me" I believed in your promises--- "I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone But though you're still with me I've been alone all along" --- It's hard to give up on the hopes and dreams that I have made with you. You are always in my heart but I'm living half a life, with half a dream. "These wounds won't seem to heal This pain is just too real There’s just too much that time cannot erase" The hurt isn't visible but it is very real, and time can't erase suicide "When you cried I’d wipe away all of your tears When you'd scream I’d fight away all of your fears I held your hand through all of these years But you still have...all of me" I tried to save you from yourself, and I find I'm still trying. What a fool I am to hope! |
