| Muse – Time Is Running Out Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Isn't it simply about someone drowning and about to die ? [I think I'm drowning, Asphyxiated... Our time is running out] Someone who probably is commiting a suicide [I wanted freedom Bound and restricted, I tried to give you up But I'm addicted] He lives his last moments and describes what he's feeling and talks about death [You're something beautiful, A contradiction, You will be the death of me] Sure, the chorus does not reflect the will of the person dying and willing to die - it seems like another voice; a bit like in this song by Faith No More where the guy is drowning and finding it beautiful but in the meantime the chorus sings "Help!" louder and louder until at the end of the song you only hear some loud shouts "Help!" |

| Faith No More – Epic Lyrics | 19 years ago |

Well, to my humble mind it is not a song about nothing. It's a song about the Muse, and the lyrics. I wrote myself a few text songs, and I couldn't explain to the end where they came from - once I wrote one of them in 10 minutes (!) a morning after a very short night sleep; with all rhymes, refrain and stuff, and though there is a general meaning to this song, I was more trying to find nice rhymes to the lyrics than anything else. But still a few years later I don't have any clue how it was possible... and I'm still not sure what the meaning is... In the rhymes "You've got to share it, so you dare it - Then you bare it and you tear it" I think he's rather talking about the text (lyrics) itself than the Muse... :-) |

| Helloween – Judas Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I agree with vehuiah, this used to be a recurrent theme in Helloween's first albums - many of their songs were turned against the "rulers" and the politicians, especially against the western civilization governments (remember "and the Russians won't be so late... uncle Sam don't wanna wait..." ?) | |

Well, if you don't read the title and start listening to the lyrics, you'd think that it's God talking to You. Except that there are a few things disturbing in this song : 1) the title is Judas 2) the lines at the end "You can fulfill Your wildest ambitions", "Lose your inhibitions" and "Risk your health for me" seem unappropriate if it's God talking 3) as a matter of fact, the music at the end of the song has a more darken mood, becomes heavier... I just think by that making this song DM wanted to show that our life is full of God's voices and Judas' voices and it's often uneasy to distinguish which voice we're listening to. It's neither a song for God, neither a song for Judas, it's a song for us - a very beautiful song... |
