" this is how it begins push it away but it all comes back again" I think he's sayin that people can make you wanna change or whatever, but when you lose your traits, they come back again and feel damn good, like they did in the first place. So unless you got some sort of depersonalization disorder, it's cool to stay doing things that keep you going. People try to force their denial on the strong sometimes, and they go so far, so far untill you're like, "fine, I don't like anything either! Everything is bad!" "all the flesh" like ..... procreation......... procreation is BAAAAD! Abortions and abstenance rule! Why practice relationship skills when you can just be in denial?! No one gets hurt, right? "all the sin" he's trying the denial thing out. Tryin to hate himself. "there was a time when it used to mean just about everything" now he's trying to force himself to regret when he didn't hate himself. "just like now" boom, back to reality. "breathe, echoing the sound" finally, suffocation is over! "time starts slowing down sink until I drown" time slows down as he really thinks about things, comes to the realization that he's alright. "(please) I don't ever want to make it stop" feels pretty good. "and it keeps repeating will you please complete me?" but then people keep comin back tryin to force more denial, sayin he's uncomplete and all that. |

| maybe Jay Kay is just appreciating the planet he's on. And if he left, maybe the first thing he'd feel, is "I want to go (back) there" | |
| Scatman John – Scatman Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| it's just an upbeat empowering song that is saying, "dude, don't give up" | |

Well, if not a inward reflective stated song, maybe Manson is saying something about society in general. How a lot of people can be. "Boys in the girls room Girls in the men's room" I notice that the word "girls" is used twice, but in the first sentance there is "boys", and in the second one, "men" is used. I think it's like, immature fellows easily get interested in immature girls who easily get interested in mature fellows. And if this is the real meaning of the chorus, I don't think it's necessarily saying mature fellows are a rarity. I think it's just saying it could be both ways. Like, for instance: "Whores in the dudes' room, dudes in the ladies room" Has anyone heard the new single off "Bleed like me"? I haven't really focused on the lyrical aspect of it yet, but I think the music behind the vocals sound god awful. But when I first heard Marilyn Manson's mOBSCENE single, I didn't like the sound of the (virtually about two notes away from being) exact same guitar riff either, and the rest of the album sounded totally different and better. I hope history repeats and I end up loving what garbage has in store for us. |

| Nine Inch Nails – Leaving Hope Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I have lost my CD though, both the bonus "still" disc and the whole live cd, and I'm not sure of the titles, I'm hoping I'm speaking of the song I thought I was. The one I was thinking of was the one that's instrumental that starts with somewhat random buildup piano, silence, and then a comforting fall into "relaxing" sadness. extremely low cello solo or upright bass bowing with a descending high-pitched piano melody. | |
| Nine Inch Nails – Leaving Hope Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| in response to what lefttheretodrown said about the title not being negative, I think either up or down could be the mood and message of the song. like, "I am leaving all hope I have, I'm giving up" could be the negative perspective, but in a less likely(in my opinion) interpretation of what reznor is expressing in this song, maybe he's saying "this is my only hope of leaving, my leaving hope, I need to get going, I need to go back to making a studio album that is going to make everything else I've done seem like I was just fuckin' around" | |

I listened to this the night I got home from watching The Passion of The Christ in the movie theater. When I got home I wrote a very dark string quartet song inspired by the movie. Then I started to feel like I always feel when I'm discouraged by religion. And I remembered some of the words of this song and listened to it. I think that since this night (that I also made a cover of the song), I've known what the song was about. Alright, here's my explanation of what I think it means sentance by sentance... "when you wish upon a star don't let yourself fall, fall in too hard" This is him acknowledging how people take religious hopes and hates too far until they are in this whole other world. "I fell into you and I'm on my back" He tried to get his mind to think this way, but he realizes at this point that it did nothing for him other than waste his time and energy when he could have been doing something productive for someone else or himself. "an insect decaying in your little trap" He feels like religous people look down on honest people, like as if they were expendable "insects". The religious types tend to trap the "insects" into an "I'm better than you, you are going to hell" dellusion. "I squirm into you, now I'm in your gut" At this point, he's realizing that people might be actually listening. "I fell into you, now I'm in a rut" Exposure feels awesome, he is very excited, the people that can't get enough of him make him feel more confident, and the people that hate him hear: "I lift you up like the sweetest angel," He can be nice to them, or... "...I'll tear you down like a whore." He can be destructive to them. "I will bury your god in my warm spit, you'll be deformed in your porn" If they wanna preach hate, let them preach hate, he doesn't have to respect it. Let people see them for what they are. "rock star, yeah (you're such a dirty, dirty) rock star, yeah (dirty, dirty, dirty)" "Jesus was the first celebrity. He kind of inspired the whole rock star ethic." —Marilyn Manson (from St. Petersburg Times) "you eat up my heart and all the little parts" it really hits his heart hard that people are this mean to eachother. And yeah, it also hurts the rest of the parts on his body, which don't seem to matter as much to him. "your star is so sharp it leaves me jagged holes" The religious folks try to glorify this terrible message that they are convinced that god has so much that it has hurt people who are like, "what the hell is going on here?" "I make myself sick just to poison you if I can't have you then no one will" I think he's speaking in 3rd mocking what a religous person is programmed to do. "you are the one I want and what I want is so unreal" He knows his mission is to try to take care of this growing hate that is inspired greatly by this reality that just isn't real to him. "i'm such a dirty Rock star yeah..." This is his message to parents, saying "this is how you feel..." "(I am the one you want and the one you want is so unreal)" he's saying, again, to parents, "I will now be your target of hate, because you think what I say is not about something that is real" |
