| Emilie Autumn – Best Safety Lies In Fear Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
HAMLET - Prince of Denmark by William Shakespeare Act one scene III Laer: For Hamlet and the trifling of his favour, Hold it a fashion, and toy in blood; A VIOLET IN THE YOUTH OF PRIMY NATURE, FORWARD, NOT PERMANENT, SWEET, NOT LASTING, THE PERFUME AND SUPPLIANCE OF A MINUTE; NO MORE. Oph: NO MORE but so? Laer: Think it NO MORE: For nature, crescent, does not grow alone In thews and bulk; but, as this temple waxes, The inward service for mind and soul Grows wide withal. PERHAPS HE LOVES YOU NOW; And now no soil nor cautel doth besmirch The virtue of his will: But you must fear, His greatness weigh'd, his will is not his own; For he himself is subject to his birth: He may not, as unvalu'd persons do, Carve for himself; for on his choice depends The safety and health of a whole state; And therefore must his choice be circumscrib'd Unto the voice and yielding of that body, Whereof he is the head. Then IF HE SAYS HE LOVES YOU, It fits your wisdom far to believe it, As he in his particular act and place May give his saying deed; which is no further Than the main voice of Denmark goes withal. Then weigh what loss your honour may sustain If with too credent ear you hear his songs; Or loose your heart; or your chaste treasure open To his unmaster'd importunity. Fear it, Ophelia, fear it, my dear sister; And keep you in the rear of your affection, Out of shot and danger of desire. The chariest maid is prodigal enough, If she unmask her beauty to the moon: Virtue itself scapes not calumnious strokes: The canker galls the infants of the spring, Too oft before their buttons be disclos'd; And in the morn and liquid dew of youth Contagious blastments are most imminent. Be wary, then; BEST SAFETY LIES IN FEAR. |

It is not just a reference but a direct quote (spelled? Sorry I'm from Denmark.) Polonius read Hamlets letter to Ophelia out loud and it says: "Doubt thou the stars are fire Doubt that the sun doth move Doubt truth to be a liar But never doubt I love." I am pretty sure it is correct, since the book is lying next to my keyboard! By the way, you got to love the song. It is just amazing (but isn't EA always amazing?) |

| The Dresden Dolls – Eisbär Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Actually some of the translation is wrong. Instead of "Then I wouldn't have to yell" it is "Then I wouldn't have to scream". And "Polar bears never have to cry" is "Polar bears shouldn't cry" or "Polar bears are not allowed to cry". | |
| Epica – Quietus Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Might be. The depriving of innocence is a clue in that direction, but the culprits comeuppance is also mentioned, so maybe the woman get back at him at the very last? | |
| Epica – Force of The Shore Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I think it is about popculture or people posing as something that they aren't- eventually the disguise will be lifted, and then, what is left of your true soul? | |
| Epica – Another Me "In Lack'ech" Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Exactly. It is a little of things coming back in threefold. I think maybe it is about a rich lady or princess, abusing her servants and making them poor. But then... UNIVERSE STRIKES BACK>:D |
|
| Epica – Blank Infinity Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| The first verse i understand perfectly. It is about being in your darkest mood, but trying to think about nice things like choclate and friends, but then in a glimpse of a second you think a dark thought and your back to zero. | |
| Xandria – The Lioness Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I think it is about a woman^_^ A daaangerous woman! Maybe a woman sexually superior than the guy? The meaning in Xandrias songs are often quit easy to understand and the music rocks:D | |
| Xandria – Ravenheart Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Oh shut up origin and go back to hearing chart music. This genre is not for you. Lisa is talented and has a sweet voice with a cute accent. Live with it. Their lyrics are nice and their music is good. Germany rocks^_^ the video for ravenheart has a good idea, but the production isn't excellent. Maybe you can't have a big budget when you aren't pop-wannabe-goth as evanescence? Just a thought. The next time origin, if you haven't anything good to say about a band, then comment the lyrics on a band you do like. Maybe... Evanescence? Anything else is just... sad. | |

I agree, it sounds more mediaval to me. It is very beautiful. I think it is about the girls first love- She wonder what it is about, seeing others holding hands. |
|
| Blutengel – Our Time Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| this is about a couple with no passion in the relationship anymore. One part begs the other to do something or at least not break her heart so she can see him in a "new light" or a new perspective. | |
| Emilie Autumn – O Mistress Mine Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| mmm... Sweet:) It reminds me of a girl experiencing the first love. | |
| Emilie Autumn – I Know It's Over (The Smiths cover) Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I like it, though I think it is very repeaty. | |
| Emilie Autumn – Hollow Like My Soul Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I think of the Corinthian and his mouth-eyes! MWAH:O No I don't. But I do like the start. I like the beginning and the sort-of-girlpowery feel to it, even if the girl has a hollow soul... "Don't get in my way", it says. |

| Emilie Autumn – Ever Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I also think it is beautiful:D Especially the sentence: "I never told you I needed you darling, like a rose needs the rain" *Sigh* |

| Emilie Autumn – Let The Record Show Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I agree with SnowNinja. Hearing it the first time I got the feeling that it was about Jack the Ripper, since it IS about murder and whores, and since EA is known for being interested in victorian history. Still the line: "Youre jealous, oh, Youre jealous why?" Stands as a riddle to me. Jack the Ripper murdered the whores because he disliked them, not because he was jealous, I think? |

| Pure genius. My children will grow up believing in within teptation's santa myth because it is way cooler^^ | |

Thanks for the english translation, I have looked for the full version long. now, I dont know if you are german, seasons of grey, but i think i have spotted some mistakes (I come from Denmark, the country above germany, so we are teached german in shool) Instead of "someone they called by my name", i think it is, "The man they called by my name." Instead if "but it loved so much, a human just can", it is "He loved so much a human can". If it was "it" the german word would be "es" not "er" which means "he". Instead of "my love tributary" i think it is "my beloved minion/slave (the english word for untertan/underlegne stands a little unclear to me) Hope I did not make a complete fool by correcting some unexisting faults. This song makes greater sense to me after reading the full translation (unfulfilling to understand tiny bits) Thank you for the translation. Still, I have not figured the story about the song out yet. But it is a cool musicvideo, so i am happy:D |

There is a chapter about the song in Tom Reynold's "I Hate Myself And I Want To Die - The 52 most depressing songs in the world." It sure is... Depressing. But good, though. |

| The Cure – A Forest Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Since I heard this song for the first time I began to hear it while I am about to sleep, and when I paint. Now I am beginning to paint trees in my sleep:D | |
| After Forever – Eccentric Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I think you are right. Since you made such a fine and perfect anylisis a would like to bring up how this song can effect you: Everytime I hear it I start to cry, but I am also training my voice so I one day can hit the right notes and sing this song beautifully. Since I dont have internet as in DD I use music and singing instead, as my wall (!) It works, and I want to thank After Forever for making this song because it has helped me so much! Does any After Forever fan own the same experiences? | |

I actually heard it, and thought exacly the same. You must hear Nymphetamine Fix too. (though the theme is a bit different and not so haunting. |
|
| Natasha Bedingfield – Soulmate Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
It would make even more sense to me if it was "or maybe your in the sky" than "in disguise" that was actually what I thought she sang the first three times I heard this song. |

| Du har ret. Denne sang er meget stærk. | |
| Leaves' Eyes – Ankomst Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
In sparkling sunshine A countryview opens Were sailing into the habour Home to you in your arms a history to tell Arrival Arrival in my habour Arrival arrival opens your embrace Let your sorrow rest at sea A place between North and the oceans The wind sings the eternal notes A saga to tell --- I am danish so I kind of understand this (the norwegian language is developed from danish.) |
