Yeah dude, I think it is. Cosidering the line; "the agony of imaginary sins and fears, truth of suffering" and the First Noble Truth in Buddhism is pretty much life means suffering. The lyrics seem to be about the realization of the First Noble Truth... |

| Shadows Fall – Act Of Contrition Lyrics
| 20 years ago
|
He feels remorse for 'his betrayal' which he probaly commited under the influence of alcohol:
"cold memories escape the haze, with sobriety comes recollection"
He also states that the pain that he has created is causing him more pain than what he would usually feel for pain that is only his. |

Great song, I agree with Egghead on the meaning.
And here's a tab: http://www.guitaretab.com/s/shadows-fall/25945.html
Although I'm not too sure about its accuracy. |

Perhaps he's just using salvation as a general term for being saved. Salvation has two aspects; the religiouas side and the general side, the general side just means:
Preservation or deliverance from destruction, difficulty, or evil. |

| Shadows Fall – Stillness Lyrics
| 20 years ago
|
I believe this song is about gaining a clear perspective on life/the world.
I think the first verse tells how our lifes, as we see them, pass by so quickly, but through enlightenment/meditation/achieving a higher state of mind, our spirits will stay while the shells of flesh that we inhabit will not, but our ignorance blinds us to that and therfore we never find true meaning in life.
"All natures are pure, all appearances are empty" refers to how humans constantly judge by appearance rather than personality/nature, and how this is making us ignorant in our views of others, if we judged someone by their personality/nature then co-existence would be much easier to achieve.
The second verse, i think, is about the distractions that keep us form achieving enlightenment/a higher state of mind, and by giving in to the distractions we walk the path of our own self-destruction.
"All wisdom is treasured, all wealth is a shadow" shows how humans seem to only care about money and what it can buy, this causes more distractions that keep us from enlightenment/a high state of mind.
"Inexpressible in words" means that he cannot describe the enlightenment/higher state of mind that he has gained.
"Embrace the stillness" tells that he ceased giving into the distractions.
"Endless source, eternal bliss" means that what he has achieved is endless.
"Absence of the mind is liberation" means he has stopped thinking and has become one with bliss.
That's just what I think anyway, sorry for making the post so long ; ) |

Pretty self explanatory song. About how humans are killing the earth, and how we're not doing anything to stop it, and taking it all for granted. |

To those who are going to read this, which I'm betting will be no one, it looks like this isn't going to be song. Stu[id Jarrad doesn't want it to be, coz he says the lyrics are shit. No ones going to ever read this but oh well... |

| Carcass – Arbeit Macht Fleisch Lyrics

It's in German and it means Work Brings Flesh/meat. Arbeit Macht Frei means Work Brings Freedom, which is written on a sign over the gates of Auschwitz. so the song might be a nzi death camp or comparing modern society/industry/government, etc to a death camp. |

i was just wondering why this sounds like a wannabe-song? In what form? It's just that My Dying Bride pioneered or at least co-pioneered Death/Doom metal back in the early 90's and they've stuck to their music sound for most of their career. |

I don't think this is 'christian-death-rock'. I think it's actually anti-religious, hence the line:
I see them blind sheep going nowhere
but yeah, great song |

Maybe he's reffering to the record labels as god with their 'all mighty power.' and helping pour the gas on him would be getting him ready for like a kind of death and then "i need to drown in flames to be free" would be drowning in ignorance maybe to be free. giving up and letting the record labels to deal with everything. Losing his independence. Or than again, it could be the completely opposite: When he's protesting against the record labels. I hope that made sense... |

Based on a true story about "a roast gone wrong" whcih was undercooked "you served me flesh" and the gravy looked and tasted like blood "capsular gravy". The "capsular gravy makes me obey" is about a theory that the cooker of the roast was trying to brainwash the eater by making the roast in a 'special' way... |

About a person with a friend who is a monkey. And they like to play.
1. The person (me) who write this was not on drugs.
2. It is in no way related to 'spanking the monkey' As you can probaly tell by the chorus |
