Ladyhawke – Paris Is Burning Lyrics 17 years ago
She's said in a couple of interviews that the song is about one crazy weekend that she had in Paris where she got way too wasted and just partied the entire time. You can watch the interviews on youtube, pretty much all of them mention the meaning of the song.

Anathema – A Natural Disaster Lyrics 17 years ago
I also think this song is about the death of someone because of the title of the song.

A Natural Disaster; that's what death is.

As horrid as it is, its a part of life.

... wait what?
I was saying that people never seem to know this song and always think I'm talking about Wasted Years... and I'm not....

I know what this song is about... wtf?

Anathema – One Last Goodbye Lyrics 17 years ago
This was also the first song I ever heard by them, and quite frankly its still my favourite.

This song was the first song I heard after my friends death a few weeks ago and suddenly the meaning of the song has hit me so much harder.

Such an amazing song, especially the acoustic version on youtube.

Anathema – A Dying Wish Lyrics 17 years ago
I'm not exactly what this song means, and I could be completely off the mark, but here it goes!

"I bear the seed of ruin
A golden age turned to stone
Elysium ..... to dust"

That he ruins everything. He can turn the 'golden' age back to stone, and he can destroy the Elysium (home to the blessed). He's cursed.

"For this, a tragic journey
A vision of a dying embrace
Scattered earth
Silence ....."

Because of this curse from destroying everything, he can never be happy and merely walks the earth alone (silent), and he sees a vision of someone dying with him.

"Where Echonia wept
I sank into the silent desert"

Echonia seems to be the girl he loves(?) and they were together, and the curse kills her (the dying embrace).

"Fallen am I,
In the solitude of a broken promise
..... I cried alone
My empyrean is a scar
From the memory of her beautiful life
Forever was her name"

He loved her and promised to look after her maybe? But he's broken that promise and now must weep alone. His 'highest heaven' (empyrean) is now scarred because he will never get to go there from the curse killing the one thing he loves.

"Fulfilment lost in a lifetime of regret
Ornate peace would cover me
As I would die now .....
For one last wish"

She was the one thing that made him whole and now that she's gone he's consumed with all the regret from all that he destroyed.

The he says that he'd die for one wish. That wish could be lots of things, bring her back, be rid of the curse, be able to die, etc. We're sort of left in the dark on what it is.



I'm probably completely wrong but that's just the feeling I get from the song.

Either way, it's epic.

Iron Maiden – Wasting Love Lyrics 17 years ago
This is one of my favourite Iron Maiden songs, and it surprises me all the time how people never know what I'm speaking of when I bring it up.

"Do you mean Wasted Years?"
No.... I mean Wasting love.

It's such a brilliant song, and so heartfelt. The line 'Wasting love, in a desperate caress' hits me the hardest.

Ayreon – Web of Lies Lyrics 17 years ago
These lyrics are a bit wrong.

Dear PX, not 'Piette'

Dear PX, I feel you are the one
What's your name? Where are you from?
I'm in love, though we never met
Looking for clues, I search the net

Dear PX, I'm waiting for your *name*
Check every hour, to no avail
*Been up all night*, couldn't get to sleep
No way out, I'm in too deep

Dear PX, It's been 11 days
I'm kind of lost within the maze
Are you there? Give me but a sign
Are you at home? Are you *online*?

Dear Simone, I'm sorry for the wait
I've seen your pics, you're looking great
I'm all alone, dying for a date
I think we match, it must be fate

Dear *OL*, I feel you are the one
what's your name? where are you from?
I'm in love, though we never met
Looking for clues, I search the net

If it were possible to have mad, passionate sex with a song, I'd be having sex all day with this one.

How can one epic song be so amazing?

Otep – Jonestown Tea Lyrics 17 years ago
This song is probably the greatest Otep song. I found this song at the same time I was going through the same shit and it meant the world to me. The harshness of the lyrics is exactly how it felt. I think the meaning is pretty obvious. As lame as it sounds, this song probably saved me.

Otep rock \m/

Otep – Invisible Lyrics 17 years ago
I'm probably only skimming the top of the meaning of this song. I'm sure there is a deeper meaning to this song, but everytime I listen to it I get the same feeling. So whether or not this is what Otep intended the listener to feel, this is what the song means to me.

To me this song is about when everything just goes to shit and you can't deal with it anymore and take it out on everyone else. Even those you love dearly.

"I am invisible...
I'm in this mood for days..."

"You're my favorite prey
'Cause I hurt the ones I love.

You're so lovely when you cry.
You're so perfect when you lie."

"Can't you see?
I'm invisible..."

It sounds as if she's saying you can't help me, nor understand how I feel, so I can't help but take it out on you, and it's not my fault because I'm invisible to you.

"The stain still remains
And I promise you, it never goes away."

The fact that she can't deal with all of it is still there, bothering her. Hurting her.

"Fire on the sides,
Burned and bright, has arrived
Lost in flight, on golden molted wings."

"Can you see me now?"
"Now do you see?"

Something bad has happened as a result of this need of help and her loved one realises only now that she's feeling like this and that she needs help somehow, but it's too late.
