| AFI – The Great Disappointment Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| To me it’s a song about how he had believed that he was going to go to heaven…he even sees himself there and imagines what it will be like to see his loved ones or angels (soft creatures draped in white/or so near the cherished ones)…then towards the end he realizes that the only way for him to ‘be’ in heaven is in his dreams ‘I can remember when I first realized dreams where the only places to see them’…he has to ‘shut his eyes…to see’. then he talks about how he’s falling from grace…. ‘I was wasting away…hope was wasting away…faith was wasting away…’ that after wanting to become a better person ‘I always wanted to believe I never, never wanted this…’ he felt deceived ‘but from the start I’d been deceived…but u promised me’ maybe by God…he had strived to become that better person but in the end it wasn’t good enough for God… | |

| they hadn't been disappointed...they had only misinterpreted the Bible. During that time was when Jesus was suppose to pass from the highest to most highest part of the sanctuary in heaven. And the seventh-day adventist church was not started from that....i'm a 7th day adventist. | |
| A Perfect Circle – Brena Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| i agree that he's talking about his wife...and is comparing her to something...i guess the island ya'll are talking about. he's obviously talking about 'making love'<-i didn't say 'having sex' with her because he seems to want her for more than just that. he wants to be PART of her-not only the physical aspect of sex but the emotional aspect..."show me openings to lead me closer to you my dear brena" | |

| haha thanx discarnate... i guess. :) davey has a few songs were he's written about fallen angels-or atleast that's the impression i get from reading his lyrics. this song gets to me too...i don't think it's in any way satanic...in fact it sort of touches the 'human' characteristic of having emotions that those angels possessed (i held a fallen star and it wept for me)...i think that in this song davey's writing about how although these are FALLEN angels they may still have some good in them...or at least have the ability to FEEL sadness and relate to us human beings... | |

to radicalledward76: i admire you...lol out of all the comments that were posted on here about this song, yours was the one that was in depth stating exactly why and how u felt about the band and its music. i completely agree with you on #3...that they are using that to sell their records...well actually i think that that may be the WHOLE REASON....it think it's partially (a great part) of why they coined the heartagram but i also think that it really DID have meaning to ville. i'm not into anything that has to do with satanism....i'm not depressed and i don't feel like i'm alienated, but yet i love their music. i understand that u said that they 'seem to aim at the....' but i was just stating that to let you know that i don't LIKE them for that fact, i really do like their music because of the 1. lyrics 2. just the music in general 3. ville-haha. which i liked HIM before ville cleaned himself up and started looking good :) . i don't agree with you however that their typical lyrical content is: "we're in love, and life sucks, so let's kill ourselves". yes...it's about love (hence love metal) but not about life sucking or committing suicide. but yeah, that's my opinion...and i well respect yours. by the way, if u liked 'don't fear the reaper' (their cover) check out the cover they did of billy idol's 'rebel yell'...they (HIM) do some pretty good covers. |

ehhh...to me the 'stars' that are have 'fallen' are fallen angels... that are saddened maybe because they were thrown out of heaven (I watch the stars as they fall from the sky) the person in this song is maybe trying to comfort that ‘fallen angel’ and feels angry because of what happened to this ‘star’ (I held a fallen star and it wept for me, dying… And I disintegrate 'cause this hate is fucking real And I hope to shade the world as stars go out and I disintegrate) Also these ‘fallen angels’ will now be living among us (or maybe they want to ‘communicate’ with us?) (I feel the fallen stars encircle me now) and in the end we can see that it's not going to be ok because of the consequences that those fallen angels suffered (just watch the stars tonight as they, as they disappear, disintegrate) despite what everyone else wants you to think (It won't be all right despite what they say). It's a "darker" interpretation of the song, but nevertheless it is still a good song. |

I think that everyone that's a HIM fan knows what the hell HIM stands for, we don't need you to remind us. People interpret things differently...so something Ville wrote could well mean something else to another person. That's the beauty of being a good songwriter...being able to write a song that has a special meaning to you and others can relate to it or yet others can either interpret it as something different. There are lots of songs out there that have been written by 'non-satanic' bands that have a more morbid/satanic significance then those of HIM. For an example, A Perfect Circle is not a satanic band...yet he writes about necrophilia. Or at least some people construe it that way. Also, Afi is not a satanic band yet Davey sings about demons ("I watch the stars as they fall from the sky. I held a fallen star and it wept for me, dying. I feel the fallen stars encircle me now, as they cry"). Therefore, I don't think you should judge HIM's music based solely on the lead singer's religious beliefs or the lack thereof. Music has been here since the beginning of time…given to us for us to use as a form of expressing ourselves and we shouldn’t degrade someone’s writing because of our narrow-mindedness. So you should listen to HIM’s music and analyze their lyrics with an open point of view…not a head-set idea that every meaning to his every lyric has some sort of dark satanic meaning. And if you can’t relate to it and if your STILL not interested in it…ok not everyone is going to like the same thing. That’s what makes us all unique. ;) Also, I’d like to clarify that the heartagram is not a satanic symbol. And for you ignorant people out there…neither is the pentagram. The five pointed star was copied from the star shaped pattern formed by the travels of the planet Venus in the sky. The emblem remained popular through many cultures and time periods- it was called the pentalpha by the Greeks, who believed it had magical properties. For a time, it was the official seal of the city of Jerusalem. In later times, it was used by medieval Christians to symbolize the five wounds of Christ, and figured in the heavily symbolic Arthurian romances. It also represents the proportions of the human body. It was not until the twentieth century that the symbol became associated with Satanism, probably due to MISTINTERPRETATION of symbols used by ceremonial magicians. In alchemical texts, the four elements (in Latin)- flatus, ignus, aqua, terra, superseded by light, or divine energy- illustrated the process of creation- Fiat Lux, or, "let there be light." In Wiccan/Pagan lore, the pentagram symbolizes the five elements- earth, air, water, fire, and spirit. The Wiccan emblematic pentagram faces point upward to symbolize the triumph of spirit over matter; the Satanic pentagram is transposed, point downwards, to symbolize earthly gratification, or the triumph of the individual over dissolution. The heartagram was created as a LOGO for HIM (THIS IS NOT BAMS SYMBOL-he only sports it). It’s the bond/link/combination of love and hate/anger, life and death. |
