Karnivool – We Are Lyrics 12 years ago
The first two times he definitely says "This is the WORST day I've ever had to stand and witness".. I interpret this as the painful and futile realisation that he sees no way forward but to "reset it all".. Its an unsettling feeling to know everything you've lived is all part of the same lie.. He has no vision for the future... "These words of wisdom come with lack of vision"..

Memphis May Fire – The Victim Lyrics 13 years ago
Sounds to me like they are referring to their record label..
Memphis May Fire were originally signed to Trustkill Records and the latest album has them signed to Rise Records.. "I was too blind to see that you were too deaf to hear me" is clearly a msg to the record label.. as well as "If I Could Go Back, Do It All Again, You Know That I Wouldn't sign My Life Away"

perhaps im crazy, im willing to explore that idea...

Trapt – Sound Off Lyrics 15 years ago
I disagree with u ZombieKitten. This song is clearly a big fuck you to the leaders.. Standing up and fighting for what you believe in even though governments try to push you down.. Its about voicing what you feel and making your own choices not being lead blind my hypocrites...

Avenged Sevenfold – Natural Born Killer Lyrics 15 years ago
by now im pretty sure everyones established that the majority of the album is about the rev.. to me it sounds partly like an attack on the media and the way a life or death becomes nothing but a story and partly about how they are struggling to deal with the rev's death.. most people become a little crazy because of the intensity of emotions when someone passes and it seems that in hurt and anger they are lashing out at the media's coverage even tho they already know what the media is like, "it couldnt happen any other way"...

Saosin – I Keep My Secrets Safe Lyrics 15 years ago
sounds like a relationship breaking down because one person is sealing themselves shut emotionally.. the other person is trying to find a way in but fails and begins to realise the relationship isn't gonna work.. 'is this the end of ourselves, is this the end of us?'

Oh, Sleeper – WORLD WITHOUT A SUN Lyrics 16 years ago
surrendered, ur close but uve got it around the wrong way.. right concept tho.. this song is the hardest on the album because it is the final apocalypse before satans birth.. think of the worlds greatest evil force preparing their attack.. like before a massive storm.. the sun wont rise.. stone and ice form the devils army (metaphorical).. the trees are dead but theyre alive more than ever (the cold and lack of sunlight has killed the earth but its alive more than ever with the presence of satans army about to become born again)...

its sung from the perepective of a mortal.. a believer in god.. he is saying he fears a world without the sun but never the evil who wished it gone (which is where the concept surrendered outlined is on the right track)..

"and now the ground pulses, constricting for birth" - the devils army are about to break through...



im not religious at all.. in fact i hate religion.. but these guys are phenomenal in the way they create such an epic battle in the listeners mind (lyrically, vocally and musically).. awesome band...

Oh, Sleeper – REVERIES OF FLIGHT Lyrics 16 years ago
close but its the other way around.. its a lost soul losing faith in god because he feels he has not been rewarded justly.. and god is saying to him that he needs to have faith always and not just when he wants something..

"You keep denying my lead!
Because i've tried, i've never pulled back my reach,
and i've stayed and i've died, but you keep looking for me
where I'm not. I wont be just where you want me to be.
You've got to believe and just trust that I can be everything"

...spoken from gods perspective

Deftones – Xerces Lyrics 16 years ago
noseforsharpies hit the nail on the head with 'humans will always be looking for some greater paradise'.. people are never content with what they have and always believe there is something better.. but a lot of the time what is actually perceived as better isnt actually all its cracked up to be.. so the cycle begins again and u begin looking for a better place.. the song has a very similar feel to happiness by the kilowatt by alexisonfire.. finally getting all u ever wanted and realising ur still just as miserable.. thats why this song can be relevant to so many things.. whether that be depression or drugs or death, etc... all have the common factor.. u are constantly looking for something better.. a better feeling, a harder drug, hope in death.. chino's lyrics are so simple yet so complex at the same time and relative to a number of different aspects.. absolute genius...

Mammal – Clear Enough? Lyrics 16 years ago
Correct lyrics... this should be amended....

Cutting through ya
It'll sue ya
Never do ya
Lying awake in your bed
Live the nightmare
Think they play fair?
As they pump you so full of their filth
Hate your brother
Fuck your mother
Learn to lie
With a smile that's concreted on
As they fly flags
The poor die
The borders expand all around you
Now you're sweating
And you’re betting
With the odds at impossible numbers
Secret blow job
STD knob
Are you clean or defiled by injections they give?
Finger fuck
Try your luck
With the sluts and the slots that you're getting on screen
New computer
Sprays the cum juice
Feeling loose with one hand left to beat her
Limbs are flying
And the spying
Is the drug that they use to send you away
Watch the student
Kill the teacher
With the counterfeit psalms in his hand
Never good enough
Never found love
Left at home with your dick in your hand
Working night shift
Botching face lifts

As you look at the perfection that you'll never have
As you look at the perfection that you'll never have
As you look at the perfection that you'll never have
Take a good look at perfection that you'll never have!

Have I painted a portrait or picture that's clear enough?

Breast feeding
Left needing
As the income is stripped from your womb
Glossy sex tips
Over-sized tits
And the lack of all feeling that comes with it
Daytime drama
Rots your karma
And the chain to the sink starts cutting your flesh
Called a bitch whore
When he wants more
And the goddess denies with a flick of the wrist
On fields fights
Pack rape night
As the boys and their balls they roll into town
Painted faces
Tooth braces
Take a look cause the mirror's outdated
Leaning forward
Can't ignore ya
I just caught a glimpse of your cellulite
Sell your fat bits
Then you cop shit
For the body that culture delivered you

This comes the way that it is
This comes in waves
As you look at the perfection that you'll never have
This comes in waves
As you look at the perfection that you'll never have
This comes in waves

Have I painted a portrait or picture that's clear enough?

Karnivool – Illumine Lyrics 16 years ago
Follows the whole 'exploration' theme of the rest of the album. Sound Awake is a very anti-religious album as religion is seen as a suppressor to seeking and open-mindedness. Illumine is basically saying forget all that religion has taught you and look to other possibilities. "Don't listen, don't even hear a sound they make it breaks you" - religion focuses on eliciting fear in peoples minds to get them to believe, e.g. fear of dying, etc... "So lead us on through the world of false promise" - self explanatory of the concept of religion. Anyway, awesome song. Awesome album....

3 Doors Down – Pages Lyrics 17 years ago
Yeh i definately agree with tootz but to me, it sounds like what once used to soothe the writer now only tears him up more.. He used to find solace in opening himself to others but not anymore (letting you see through me, now only consumes me).. Theres a sense of resentment and hopelessness in his voice...

The Mars Volta – Conjugal Burns Lyrics 17 years ago
On the backend of the album, this song sounds almost like an unexpected ending.. Lets say, even a twist in the plot.. ill explain.....

So by now its common knowledge that the album is based around events with the ouija board.. The general flow of the album implies a continual deeper engagement with the board.. And the deeper TMV gets into this love/lust/murder triangle, the stronger Goliath's grip is on them...

Goliath's intrigue with a second chance starts with Aberinkula and Metatron.. Lines like "You'll be the one who opens the gates" and "This is a list, heres my demands" are the beginnings of Goliath's manipulation of the boards user so find a way back to 'the living'.. Then the album moves on to Ilyena and Wax Simulacra.. Both of which bring the sense that Goliath is manipulating the users to perhaps understand why he did what he did, eg. "If you could see where ive been, you'd touch the hand thats touching sin".. Basically saying, 'i had no choice, you would have done the same thing so help me get what i want'...

Then the album moves onto Goliath, which i believe is TMV's first real beginnings of an obsession with the board.. "Never heard a man speak like this man before".. They're getting drawn in to the Soothsayer's web.. And Goliath can see this in Tourniquet.. He offers to return the favour by protecting TMV.. "Let me be your tourniquet man.. let me keep you as a favour"...

Then everything really starts to get kinda freaky and twisted with Cavalettas and Agadez, with Goliath's story becoming more gruesome and decrepit while his requests turn into demands and the board becomes plain fucking scary.. "If you force me often, i might jump off the board" is a chilling warning, but by this time TMV's obsession has grown too strong and they continue to play with fire...

All hell breaks loose and things have become out of control by the time Askepios and Ouroborous rip in.. Its becoming apparent that Goliath cannot be shaken easily and the band can see a vicious cycle forming.. They cannot push this curse off them.. And Goliath's grip only strengthens ("Don't you ever trust my mercy").. Until they reach a point with Soothsayer that would imply some sort of sacrifice.. They've given up and are succumbing to Goliath's demands and wishes.. "We have become these pleads" is saying 'we've become what we were begging mercy for'.. And it would seem that Soothsayer is the culmination of the rest of the album....until.......

...Conjugal Burns breaks in... My interpretation of this song is that TMV have succumbed and are becoming Goliath's pathway to the present.. "The horsemen you have brought deserve me, somehow theyve made it through the floor".. Evil has come from hell to claim them.. It is as if TMV are then asking for one more chance to live where they are until they are taken into the Soothsayers realm.. "...before this visit turns conjugal, ever more.."

The whole second stanze is Goliath speaking.. He is telling TMV the reasons for what hes done but gets to a point where he cannot explain anymore... "Ive got a pain inside...", "God gave me sin", "Ive got to be born", "theres too many reasons"...

This compassion that he is feeling is thenturned when he realises himself and puts the oweness back on TMV.. "You sent yourself the flood".. Saying theyve done this to themselves.. But in the moment of freedom he is allowing TMV before they are taken with him, he becomes complacent as the tables are turned...

"And I'm nowhere near the place.
You sent me here to breathe.

This section is where Goliath realises hes been tricked.. The TMV have shed his presence by cutting up the board and burying it.. And Goliath realises once its too late and the door has slammed shut, "I'm nowhere near the place, you sent me here to breathe"...

"But I'm drawing closer to the present.
And I'll find a space with no memories.
I've got a second chance to inhabit the living.
If Goliath wont speak I'm blinded by heaven.

TMV are drawing closer to the present, as in they are escaping the grips of Goliath.. 'A place with no memories' could be a reference to the fact that Cedric did not want the boards burial site to be told to him.. and the band "have a second chance to inhabit the living" while the prospect of dying is not such a bad sight now that they are not forced to spend an eternity in the depths of hell...

anyway i know that was ridiculously long but post ur thoughts.. im interested to see what people think

From Autumn to Ashes – Sensory Deprivation Adventure Lyrics 18 years ago
lyrics look a bit off to me.. heres what i make out..

Oh your honour! Oh your honour!
Let me explain my behaviour
Oh your honour! Oh your honour!
I swear I was trying to save her
Who's the liar? Who's the killer?
She knows I was doing a favour
When I fell upon her by way of a merciful murder

(Chorus)
With every warning you wonder
Don't have to tell the truth, just keep remaining mute
And i'll still think for my owner
Yes I know what i've done, and what i'm gonna do

Don't have to tell the truth
Just Keep remaining mute
Yes I know what i've done and what i'm gonna do

No weakness! No weakness!
Don't buckle under the pressure
A servant! A serf!
A saint for all those who suffer
We're caught in a current of confusion
But whats been suggested and what has been proved?

(Chorus)
With every warning you wonder
Don't have to tell the truth, just keep remaining mute
And i'll still think for my owner
Yes I know what i've done, and what i'm gonna do

I am (i am) only what you made me now
I am a reflection of your wealth
And if you think you think you hate me now
You only hate yourself

(Chorus)
With every warning you wonder
Don't have to tell the truth, just keep remaining mute
And i'll still think for my owner
Yes I know what i've done, and what i'm gonna do

Lostprophets – 4 AM Forever Lyrics 19 years ago
Someone close to him has passed away whether its a friend/relative/girlfriend or whatever.. He wants time to stand still because he doesnt want to face the fact that it has happened.. That would mean he'd have to move on and he doesn't want to do that.. > The repetition of "4AM Forever".. I think he is lashing out at the loved one because he doesn't know who to turn to.. "I hope you know you're letting go".. Maybe he blames them for their death.. I dunno.. Just some thoughts...

The Juliana Theory – Shell of a Man Lyrics 19 years ago
To me this song is about an extremely bitter breakup where both partners have done anything to irritate eachother.. The rage that seems to be boiling over in the singer has got to a point where he just wants to forget it.. He's trying to convince himself to let it go, in the repeating of ''I wont nurture n feed this bitterness/hate/hostility/pain''.. But in truth he cant forget it, ''why can't i let go, i'm only the shell of a man.. im lost in myself and afraid of whoi really am''.. And falls back into the vicious circle of hate...
