| HIM – Cyanide Sun Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| i don't want to over-analyze this song, but in my opinion it clearly speaks (using a lot of classic him simbols and metaphores) of their breakup and how he's remembering all that happened between them and how he's now trying to deal with it... a very honest and sad song... | |
| Manna – Just For Tonight Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
A classic story of a forbbiden yearning, longing love. Sort of like Romeo and Juliet. Yet it also reminds me of the Cinderella fairytale, when the prince and Cinderella fell in love at the ball and midnight was getting closer, so that just for that night they'll keep on dancing because "Time's running out the night is only a shell soon morning comes and breaks the spell to the yesterday, to a dream." And another reference to the already mentioned tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, the forbbiden love can be seen in the lyrics: "They can't see us now, they won't catch us now." and may refer to people who are aginst that love. "Too late, won't stop, tonight I want to go deeper" may be interpreted as love making. "These streets are mine, tonight I'll keep on walking, won't stop as long as the city sleeps" as in: tonight your body is mine and I will reveal, uncover it to myself and we will belong to eachother till "the morning comes and breaks the spell" to the time when this will all look like a dream. "Don't look back once or you might turn around tonight I'll give myself to you" means that if you think about the consequences for a second, the magic of the moment will be gone, so you just have to let yourself. So just for that night we'll keep on "dancing" and the bliss felt by the unity, the lights are shining, and our secret stays hidden under the of the night. Well, that just my perception of this absolutely beautiful song full of that scandinavian melancholy to which I can definately relate myself and my happenings. :) |

| wildbill666inlondon, that is an absolutely fabulous interpretation of the song, and a very interesting and twisted one, but you have a point, not that i would formulate it like that, but we agree ;D | |

| HIM – Venus Doom Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| as ville is always saying in his interviews that his lyrics always reflect his current state of mind caused by problems or life's adversities, i think that this is also the case here since he had a lot of those during the preparing and recording of the album... in my opinion, considering the breakup with his fiancee, who, i think in this case, represents venus doom, he is confessing his undying love for her and the fact that he didn't want the break up and the situation where she was left with nothing cause of his drinking problem (Grieve all your hearts out as she'll arrive enthralled in tragic, ecstatic agony And in her flames we will die some more), but she was also the reason he succeded to overcome that (She'll be the light to guide you back home), (all dreams are of you – my venus doom). well, that's in my perception of this song, and of course ville used lots of other symbols, oxymorons and melancholic tones for which they are recognizable... well, that's what i percieved from this song... but i also think he left a lot of room for free, personal interpretation of it... | |
