| Tori Amos – Blood Roses Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I see the "chickens" as "cowards", not hens. When chickens get a taste of your meat, she is probably angry at boys. You gave yourself away physically and he didn't appreciate it, you did everything you thought you ought to do but in the end it had no depth for him. (just quick thinking) |

| Bloodhound Gang – Something Diabolical Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
What first came to my mind is a play of words. When I try to follow the lyrics and connect them to create a unique storyline, I definitely see some connection between them, but I can also quickly lose it. I see some HIM references (Reflect upon the way beyond redemption, tonight belongs to him) and many words or phrases that make me think of other bands (Clutch, (This) Mortal Coil, havoc, black mass inverted which makes me think of Black Sabbath ...). The chorus confuses me - Heaven may be running on empty yet the devil rides. Surely the devil will ride if Heaven is running on empty! that "yet" should be an "and". The lyrics are interesting from a linguistic point of view, though it's hard to concentrate on them because the whole atmosphere of the song makes you kind of float away. Dunno about mocking LP. |

| HIM – I've Crossed Oceans Of Wine To Find You Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
^ I didn't know that. Nice, for me it fits in perfectly with the idea of a vampire B movie (that being a good thing here). Also, I'm not that interested in the meaning, I like the atmosphere and "feel" of the song more, and how it's a pre-vitro version of Resurrection. And the Turbonegro tribute keyboards, it's all great FUN to me when I think of the guys and their sarcastic ways. They've never taken themselves that seriously and it shines through here. I second what Dirtmouth said. |

"Spiritus sanctus" means "holy spirit" in Latin. Not sure about the meaning, though I'm guessing it isn't that obscure, especially if you can refer to the Bible well. |

| HIM – Circle of Fear Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
The "circle" makes me think of the nine circles of hell. I can't find a connection between a circle of fear and the circles of hell yet, but maybe there is one. Anyone thinking the same? To help anyone else, first you have to help yourself. Otherwise, you'll just be hiding your worries and your misery behind a mask. You have to be strong to be a saviour, but their "circle of fear is the same", so my guess is they're both equally afraid. Afraid of opening up and simply being happy because they got too used to the hurt they feel, which has become comforting. Don't try to be strong for anyone else if you can't play that part 100% of the time. |

| Dope Stars Inc. – Theta Titanium Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I think this song is actually very simple. We're going to be left without our home, the Earth, if we don't stop doing what we're doing to it VERY SOON. Though we think it's easier to ignore that and start looking for a new home already (which is sad, isn't it? I don't think we could live anywhere else but the Earth, so why not try and treat it better?) In the end, we'll be looking down at it from our spaceships because we'll have no other choice than to leave it behind. The whole song, with the lyrics and music sounds a bit angry to me, it's like a loud warning that needs to be heard. Yeah, I appreciate the ozone. |

| HIM – The Sacrament Lyrics | 19 years ago |

This is the comment I left to the uncorrected TS lyrics, I didn't know there were corrected lyrics available as well: I agree with pipyoolike about what she said, though I have my opinion to add. Listening to The Sacrament puts a smile on my face. It creates a warm, happy atmosphere, it gives a feeling of being complete in a way. I don't know if you can feel something like that while listening to a song, but that's how I describe it. I personally don't beleive in God or the institution of marriage. When Ville sings about his church not being of silver and gold and commandments being of consolation and warmth, I think he means that you don't necessarily need to have a God or a ring on your finger in order for your love to be true. It's not something material, it's not something you can bind. 'You know our sacred dream won't fail The sanctuary tender and so frail The sacrament of love The sacrament of warmth is true The sacrament is you' Their sacred dream won't fail because they chose to be in love, together but free of the rules they didn't want to follow. 'I hear you weep so far from me I taste your tears like you're next to me...' Even though they sometimes might be miles apart, they feel like one and go through the bad times (as the good ones). Finally, 'The sacrament is you'. The person who Ville is singing about is everything he mentioned - consolation, warmth, they are tender and frail. His sacrament is alive and tangible, it's simply a human being who makes him feel so complete. I'll probably give this a bit more thought and be back ;) |
