| KoЯn – Black Is the Soul Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
As it all falls down, do I walk away? Or do I stand my ground and accept my fate? And there's a faceless cry, that twists my every dream And almost every night I hear the demon sing Why are we going on this way? Why do we play these games in vain? Nothing's gonna break it down and build us back again So why did the path have to lead this way? Black is the soul that's led astray You're leading me to places I can never follow Happiness is found in darkest ways And as I searched around, I've made nothing but mistakes And there's a faceless cry, that twists my every dream And almost every night I hear the demon sing Why are we going on this way? Why do we play these games in vain? Nothing's gonna break it down and build us back again So why did the path have to lead this way? Black is the soul that's led astray You're leading me to places I can never follow And when you scream you push me so much further ahead And when I leave, I always walk right back again And when you cry the tears are cleansing bitterness I'm out of time, I'm slowly dying give me back my LIFE! Just give me back my life Why are we going on this way? Why do we play this game Nothing's gonna break it down and build us back again So why did the path have to lead this way? Black is the soul that's led astray You're leading me to places I can never follow As it all falls down, do I walk away Or do I stand my ground, there's nothing left to say |

@[Twelvie:24882] It 100% is. Every site has the same two mistakes in it, and it's driving me nuts. You can hear it really obviously if you listen closely, plus the song makes way more sense this way. First line is "If you take a life, do you know what YOU'LL GAIN? Odds are you won't like what it is." As in, having the courage to kill is only the start, you have to live with the guilt for the rest of your life, a burden that most don't handle well. Plus, this way there's subtle word play between the verbs 'take' and 'gain', i like the idea that what you take and what you gain are two different things, like it somehow transforms once the act is complete. What is 'you give' supposed to mean here? "When the storm arrives, would you be seen with me by the merciless eyes I'VE DECEIVED?" Of deceit makes absolutely no sense here. He's a spy whose job it is to trick very dangerous people. And if caught, he and everyone he knows will be subjected to brutal retribution. So because of his line of work, just being someone who knows bond is incredibly risky. You don't want his enemies to know who you are. . |

| Deftones – (L)MIRL Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
Stunningly beautiful song. (l)MIRL means (lets) meet in real life. Seems pretty straight forward: it's about finding piece in death. No longer being afraid of it, but embracing it and trying to see positives in it. Ever since Chi died, Chino has written a few songs that glorify death and the afterlife - diamond eyes being an obvious one. |

Check the acoustic version to hear the lyrics more clearly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10xwyADw4gI I know there's something wrong stop making it up We're too proud to see we've lost more than our trust And now there's nothing left, well's dead and dried up Its disease has left a foul taste in our cup It just keeps on flowing And we drift on knowing It just keeps on flowing This babble from our mouth Who we are I fear most of the time Carry on shuffling in order and in line Who we are I fear most of the time Carry on whipping boy, stare into the light Stare into the light And it feels familiar for good reason I want us to break the case we're in We've worn it for too long, this catatonic skin Remove all the parts I want us to face the shape we're in A world of confusion awaits our sons and kin Lets reset it all Lets reset it all Well it stings and it hurts, is this how it's meant to be Well it stings and it hurts, is this how it's meant to be Well it stings and it hurts, a small price to pay to be In control and reborn; what our future's meant to be Who we are I fear most of the time So carry on whipping boy, stare into the light I want us to face the shape we're in A world of confusion awaits our sons and kin Let's reset it all (we are, we are, we are) Let's reset it all (we are, we are, we are) These words of wisdom come with lack of vision This is the first day I've ever had to stand and witness These words of wisdom come with lack of vision This is the first day I've ever had to stand and witness These words of wisdom come with lack of vision This is the first day I've ever had to stand and witness These words of wisdom come with lack of vision This is the first day I've ever had to stand and witness These words of wisdom come with lack of vision This is the first day I've ever had to stand and witness |

| Karnivool – The Last Few Lyrics | 11 years ago |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lzdZxx1Cw4 Some of you will get out alive Though, you'll bear all the cost I promised you all your scars Will be worth all you've lost We've taken the fall To save your skin We've stomached them all These precious medicines As sick as we are... ...we are strong Now freedom comes When this anthem is sung The fates come undone 'Cause we have switched the lights on We've exposed their friends-in-arms Now we stand as one at the end If we are the last few, Who will be the first one to lead us? If we are the last few Will I feel alive? One chance to prove we're so fiercely committed To new life, new life! We're alone and committed To new life, new life! New life, new life! If we are the last few, Now we're alone and committed If we are the last few New life, new life! New life, new life! |

| Karnivool – Sky Machine Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| A lot of the songs on this album seem to deal with an apocalypse, but all from a nihilistic point of view. Sorry to say this, but I think your analysis here is exactly backwards. To me, this song is about the absence of afterlife. It is about the tension generated by the inevitability of dying and being oblivious to what happens next. Kenny has previously written lyrics with a very clear anti-theistic point of view (Set Fire to the Hive, All I Know, and This Cauldal Lure being the most obvious), so it would be hypocritical and out of place for this song to be about waiting for guidance from higher beings. He also says that he writes lyrics to inspire, like a 'call to arms'. Take 'WE ARE' for example, which seems to be about humanity's ability to destroy everything that allows us to prosper ie. environment etc. He fears who we are because we are our own unbringing. If there were to be a higher power and an afterlife, then what motivation would we have to care for THIS life if we were guaranteed an eternity of perfection as soon as we died? | |

Fuck all that bullshit! You watch me bleed. I look away. Your light's too bright. You found the light. Time for deep space (??). You and I. Time for deep space (??). You and I. You're gonna die! Why meet me, why? I wish I had the strength. Inside your soul escapes. Take, up in space. You and I. Take, up in space. You and I. Fly, into me. Give me... something... for all... the kids that died.... listening to me...... You are alive! Take, up in space. You and I stay.... Take, up in space. You and I. Take, up in space. You and I. I... |

| KoЯn – Chaos Lives in Everything (feat. Skrillex) Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| Pretty sure the song is about disorder existing in every aspect of life. The metaphor of the relationship is showing how everything, even the best intentions, eventually degrades into a chaotic state. Even though he was trying to help her out by starting a relationship with her, it degrades over time until he can't stand her any more. He becomes angry and frustrated with the very things that give him pleasure. | |

'I don't know why head left korn. Just because the other band members may have different views on life than him, doesn't mean he had to ditch em. Its not like Korn has ever openly dissed god or jesus or anything!' 'and also because it isn't like Korn to come out and diss something like the bible so blatantly... theyre more respectful than that. Their problem is with head and not christianity!' I take it none of you guys listened to See You on the Other Side? Hypocrites definitly has a problem with Christians |
