| Faithless – Giving Myself Away Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Great song! The melody complements the lyrics so incredibly well! I think this is about relationships going down the tubes, with time taking its toll and basically consuming the people involved. The change from being a feisty, cheerful person to having a monotonous and miserable life. In the beginning there is an outsider's perspective, someone who notices how two people have changed as a result of their marriage. Then we get a glimpse of the narrator's perspective from the inside: him telling his partner she was beautiful, her never believing, and the whole thing falling apart. Some parts of the lyrics above are incorrectly spelled. E.g. "Me? I'm the progeny; product of misogyny, Jimmy and Emily's homogeny." I don't think there was an affair between Emily and the narrator. The narrator hints at being their prodigy and not being able to "cement" their destiny. Maybe the narrator is their son (being a witness to Jimmy and Emily)? And now, in turn, his partner left him. That's how I see it. |

| Faithless – Bring My Family Back Lyrics | 17 years ago |

I agree with tropical21: the 3 verses do offer 3 different perspectives: the sun (I'm on Lonely Street age nearly three), the father (I'm on Lonely Street, age forty-three) and the house (I'm on Lonely Street, number fifty-three). I think it's an amazing representation of a family falling apart. The perspective of the helps is such a nice touch! |

| Great song with a powerful message about violence, war and destruction. The destruction of a blissful family can turn an otherwise peaceful man into a war machine seeking revenge. | |
| Faithless – Addictive Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| This is a wonderful song! I think it captures the essence of a relationship gone bad: the deceipt, twisting of words, the ability to put down the other person and make someone miserable, giving false hopes... all this that has become a habbit (although torturous), to the point where one feels addicted to the relationship. | |

My corrections: "Predictable behavior, I crave ya I'm driven you're my only living savior. Sometimes I hate ya But I'm whipped Being led head down to the crypt" ... "And by the edge of the night, where nobody belong, fingers are drumming... And that's where you come in." ... "I lead with a lie" ... and it's "self-BELIEF", not "believe" |

| Faithless – Killer's Lullaby Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This is my favorite song. I've listened to it literally thousands of times and know it by hart and it still puzzles me. It seems that the narrator has killed some female companion ("try to maybe make sense f the eveidence, It's over. She's gone for good. Why should I lie singing a killer's lullaby?"), and in the shock of the feeling he goes to a bar with Jerome and tells his story. What puzzles me is how the "ghost" part ties in. I mean: "I'm movin' round this old house for the last time Scene of my past crimes, been her for lifetimes" ... "Seven hundred years since I came her you appear Same hair, same quizzical stare" ... "the way she gently clutches his chest used to do that to me back in 1253" So, it almost sounds like he (the narrator) is a ghost: "I move quick I wanna try my trick one last time you know it's possible to vaguely define my outline, when dust move and the sun shine". But is it that, or is it just a hallucination, an exagerated feeling of overwhelming guilt? It does say earlier "FEELS like I been cursed with seven centuries of bitter memories". In the end Jerome drives him home and the song ends with "12:37" which sounds almost like an alarm clock or something. So, was this all just some dream or hallucination. Is the narrator just jealous and/or missing someone and this was all a vivid dream that felt like a "twilight zone"? Thoughts? |

| I like this song a lot and I think it fits very well with the theme of Reverence. | |

What a GREAT song! And I agree, some lyrics are wrong. I don't have the song with me right now but it definitely doesn't start like that. |

| Faithless – The Garden Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
"But even sitting in the garden one can still get stung" I think the garden is an allusion to a safe place; even when you're comfortable and think that nothing can hurt you, you may very well be wrong. Cosidering that this album has an introverted perspective, it probably means that certain situations can come and haunt you from the past, for example, basically foreshadowing the next song. In "Bring My Family Back" there is a part when a guy (the father) is married, has kids and works hard, yet the sex is unsatisfying, the job is tiring... and basically his intrinsic emptyness destroys who he is and his relationship with his family. |

This is the first song on the album; it's an intro, an invitation to listen carefully listen to the rest of the album ("Beg you listen me, don't be kissing me 'til I'm done."). He's asking the listener to keep an open mind and "digest" the ideas expressed ("Pepper your thoughts with spice, and entice you to a space Where I dwell with bass players and layers and loops,"). |
