| Led Zeppelin – Ramble On Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Not about LOTR. I DO NOT hear Gollum to this song, I hear "God damn, the evil one crept up and slipped away with her..." Shit is just little faggot LOTR fans trying to get away with liking the song because Zeppelin liked LOTR, too, and so that must make it cool. I'll tell all of you god damned assholes right now; THERE IS NO CONNECTION BETWEEN ZEPPELIN AND LOTR, EVER. NEVER. NOT IN ONE SINGLE SONG. Now really, take this song for what the hell it is. A song about a man rambling on off from a woman who changed a lot. |

| Led Zeppelin – Kashmir Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| They all had a hippy circle and dropped some acid. That's why I believe all four of them are credited for writing this song, it's one of the few (if maybe the only) songs by Zeppelin where all four are credited. They fore saw the end of the world. | |
| Bruce Dickinson – Book Of Thel Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
The mark is on you now The furnace sealed inside your head Melting from the inside now Waxy tears run down your face The mark of the beast. The whore that never told her tale Relives it every night with you Far off stands the lamb and waits For the wolf to come and end its life Mother Mary, or perhaps Babylon. If you note from the Maiden song, Moonchild, Babylon is referred to as 'the scarlet whore'. The lamb and wolf is the lamb of God and the wolf of Satan. I find The Chemical Wedding to be Blake and Alchemy influenced, but Blake himself was an Occultic mastermind, and Alchemy is not only turning lead into gold, but if you actually know Alchemy, it's about alteration of the natural world, and very occultic as well. It's all Satanic. Stand inside the temple As the book of Thel is opening The priestess stands before you Offering her hand out, she's rising Of course, the priestess of Thel, The Virgin. Offering her hand out to take you into the 'hidden air', the scarlet vale. I think The Virgin is reminiscent of Babylon, too, in a metaphorical sense. Come the dawning of the dead In famine and in war Now the harlot womb of death Spits out its rotten core Self-explanatory. Near the end of the world, the dawning of the walking dead, the Demons of Hell. Serpent on the altar now Has wrapped itself around your spine So you look into its mouth And you kiss the pearly fangs divine On the altar of the Book of Thel, the serpent rises. You kiss the pearly fangs of sin. Happy that your end is swift The weeping virgin cries in bliss The snake and priestess, they are one The veil of flesh is ripped undone The weeping virgin is again, The Virgin from Book of Thel. The veil of flesh escapes me. I'm sure it has to do with the veils of blood, pestilence, war, and darkness that Dickinson also relates to. Stand inside the temple As the book of Thel is opening The priestess stands before you Offering her hand out, she's rising See above. Come the dawning of the dead In famine and in war Now the harlot womb of death Spits out its rotten core See above. By the pricking of my thumbs Something wicked this way comes And when sleep takes you tonight Will you wake to see the light...? The old 'witches' trick, to know when danger is arising. Pricking the thumb. When you fall asleep, will you live through the night, or will Death caress your dreaming head? Will you awake to see the hooded gaze of Satan and be dragged into the legions of Hell? The burning sweat of poison tears The river flowing red with blood The cradle-robbing hand of death Caresses every dreaming head The river may refer to the river from Book of Thel, maybe the river of life. Waiting for the marriage hearse To take you to the funeral pyre So you burn the family tree The generations burning higher Burning of the world. The marriage hearse is odd, though. Perhaps you're marrying the sin from the pearly fangs you kissed. Stand inside the temple As the book of Thel is opening The priestess stands before you Offering her hand out, she's rising See above. Come the dawning of the dead In famine and in war Now the harlot womb of death Spits out its rotten core See above. By the pricking of my thumbs Something wicked this way comes And when sleep takes you tonight Will you wake to see the light See above. By the dawning of the dead... By the dawning of the dead... By the dawning of the dead... By the dawning of the dead... What demon hath formed this abominable void... This soul-shuddering vacuum? Some said it is Urizen - But unknown, abstracted, brooding secret The dark power hid The 'hidden air', the dark powers of Urizen, the Crimson Fortress rising from the void of blackness within Urizen. All-in-all, it's an evil song, and Dickinson is one evil mother fucker. I love it. |

I used to blow lines to this song. It's about cocaine, is all. |

| Led Zeppelin – Four Sticks Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
When I hear the chorus 'Mmmm, baby, the river's red. Oh, baby, in my head. There's a funny feeling going on. I don't think I can hold out long.' I can't help but think of cocaine, and the way it actually works to get you high. Very awesome song though. I always found the 'Four Sticks' path to be all crazy and symbolic. I imagine four sticks lined up in mud, with their shadows all pointing to each other. Who knows. |

| Led Zeppelin – No Quarter Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Damn, sometimes I feel like I'm the only person who thinks there are NO (NONE, ZIP, ZILCH) references to Lord of the Fags and ANY Zeppelin song. But I'll buy. This song, to me, is about the end of the world. The demons of Hell coming through after the Rapture. Here's what I think about the song: Close the door, put out the light You know they won't be home tonight (Into the darkness, your left. There's no hope for you tonight.) The snow falls hard and don't you know The winds of Thor are blowing cold (Obvious. Cold winds, darkness, raging snow...very much so what the weather will be like for the entire world soon.) They're wearing steel that's bright and true They carry news that must get through (The demons of Hell are the ones wearing the armor. In my mind, the demons will seem to be the valorous ones to us all, but deep down they'll be the warriors of Hell who help to kill us all. Their armor is deceiving. The news may refer to reports they have to bring to Satan, to help him plan his attack.) Venture the path where no one goes (They travel the unknown paths of the world. Very eerie and adventure-like. I love it.) They hold no quarter They hold no quarter (Now, quarter can mean living quarters, the quartering of a body, or also mean merciful consideration of an opponent. Like saying 'no mercy'. This is what it means in this song. The demons have no mercy once their attack plan is executed, with Satan leading the attack.) Walking side by side with Death The Devil mocks their every step (The people that run in fear. The Devil mocks them, becuase he knows they can't escape. Their deaths are going to happen, hence, walking side by side with it.) Snow drives back the foot that's slow The dogs of Doom are howling more (The dogs of Doom, Satan's hounds. The ones who are slow will be the first to die, while the others that try and escape will be hunted down by the hounds of Satan, which he will unleash upon the Earth.) They carry news that must get through To build a dream for me and you (Again, the demons carrying the reports to Satan. Now, the second part is odd. It may be that Plant and Page are saying they want the attack to happen. Building of a dream. They're evil mother fuckers, so I can see why they'd invoke it.) Venture the path where no one goes (See above. Still as bad ass a line as ever.) They hold no quarter They ask no quarter They hold no quarter They ask no quarter (Again, the demons hold no mercy and they ask for no mercy. They're killing machines.) The pain, the pain without quarter They ask no quarter Give me no quarter The dogs of Doom are howling more Give me no quarter I hear the dogs of Doom, they're howling more (This, again, instates more of Plant's and Page's want for the end of the world to come. To me, they'll view it as a beautiful happening. That's why they say 'Give me no quarter.', becuase they want to die at the hands of Satan. And the dogs of Doom are again howling into the cold night, hunting...searching. A world of perpetual darkness, their hunting grounds.) As a side note, watch The Song Remains the Same. In the No Quarter fantasy sequence, John Paul Jones is a demon who returns home with his demonic face off, showing even more that the demons will be mistaken for good people at first. They'll have families, kids, etc etc. Also, note in the scene with the horse's shadows galloping across the screen, there are burning bibles inside of it. Yes, indefinitely all relates back to Norse and Lord of the Rings mythos, doesn't it. XD Know your Zeppelin, children. |

| Danzig – Anything Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I learned to play this song on guitar for my girlfriend, and it's easy enough. But there is an odd feeling of sentience behind it. On one hand, it many be about selling your soul, but on the other, it may be a love song. I think the latter fits better, though. He has the whole world to offer to the one he loves, and he's willing to show it all to her. True love, right there. |
|
| Danzig – Ashes Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I doubt it to be a love song. He's talking about the keeper of souls. Bad souls. Satan. He's keeping them safe from summer, from the light, and he will call them forth in winter, in the time of darkness and coldness. Not a love song, no. Ever play this song backwards? Pretty weird stuff. | |
| Danzig – Come To Silver Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
No, not really. It's more about ruining a life to cheating. I think the lyrics are wrong, too. Because here's what I personally hear: Come to silver Come to gold Come to do any old thing Sell ye body and soul Make you kill a man It'll ruin your soul Come to silver Come to gold Come to silver Just as hard as you can Come to do anything For a life of sin You can have everything Big house up on a hill Come to silver Come to kill Come to heartache Come to gold It'll make you loose your way Turn your heart to cold Steal the wife of another man Let money buy her love Gonna be some hard time When you come to gold If you come to silver Or come to gold I hope that you're happy With the life you sold Coulda had everything But you didn't want to know How to come to silver Had to come to gold Welcome to gold Welcome to gold Welcome to gold So to me it seems like he's saying having silver is the best. It's still a life of sin, but you have what you need, a house, a wife, a life... Then coming to gold is when you ultimately ruin yourself. You cheat on that wife you sinned to make so happy, you also steal the wife of the man who loves the woman you're cheating on your own wife with. But in gold, you have to buy her love, when in silver, you had the unending love of real love, not a fake money-hungry love. But it's too late, becuase your wife finds out, and the silver is gone forever, and you're left with gold. Still, a very beautiful song. Danzig is the man...zig. |

| Danzig – Let It Be Captured Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| The piano is haunting. I think the drums kill it, though. But in the end, it's a pretty self-explanatory song. He's a hurt man, and he just wants to heal the woman who (probably) hurt him in the first place. | |
| Danzig – Cantspeak Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I think this song is about heroin addiction. He's lost his life, and he's unable to function without it. He was pretty deep into it for a while. | |
| Iron Maiden – Dance Of Death Lyrics | 17 years ago |

I think that the one drink he took was a hallucinogenic drink. Might have been mushroom tea, or a drink mixed with LSD. Harris started tripping and this is what he saw. Yup. |

| Iron Maiden – Brighter Than a Thousand Suns Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
"We are not the sons of God "We are not his chosen people now We have crossed the path he trod We will feel the pain of his beginning" Meaning that God has turned is back on humanity. It makes sense, as for the line 'we will feel the pain of his beginning' seems more to me like the beginning of creation, not that it's about to happen. Before creation there was chaos, and we're going to feel that chaos again. "Shadow fingers rise above Iron fingers stab the desert sky All behold the power of Hell. Bodies still, getting ready for the fall" Missiles launching into the air, nukes. 'All behold the power of hell' meaning that once these nukes are launched, it will be hell on earth. Getting read for the fall of the nukes, becuase we all know it means certain doom. "Locking hands together well Raise a city, build a living hell Join the race to suicide Listen for the tolling of the bell" Seems reminiscent of the whole cult idea. People locking hands in harmony and raising a city of hope. And joining the race to suicide is just humanity, living in general. We're all going to kill each other, it's just a matter of when. "Out of the the universe, a strange love is born Unholy union, trinity reformed" I see this as a way of saying 'We have re-created God.' "Yellow sun it's evil twin in the black the winds deliver him We will sleep, our souls within At a siege where nuclear dust is riven" Meaning that the yellow sun's evil twin is the black sun, the sign of the end of the world. I believe that behind almost every Maiden song is a hint of Revelations-esque bounty. The siege is the one where, after the first nukes are launched, everyone will be firing off their own stash of nukes. "Out of the the universe, a strange love is born Unholy union, trinity reformed" See above. "Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns" Self-explanatory. "Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns" Again. Solo #1 Adrian God, it's so sexy, too. Love you, Smith! "Bury your morals and your dead Bury your head in the sand E equals MC squared, you can relate How we made God with our hands" Meaning that we buried all morals of life aside once the nuke was invented. Burying your head in the sand is a ritualistic thing to do in India, but also it make sense to say that the Ostrich will bury it's head in the ground when it senses danger, or it's frightened. "Whatever would Robert have said to his God Of he made war with the Sun E equals MC squared, you can relate How we made God with our hands" Robert may mean the Biblical Robert. See Dickinson's 'The Tower for another reference to him, as well. "All nations are rising Through acid veils of love and hate Chain metals of Satan Uncertainty led us all to this" The war that causes the end of humanity, or that fires off the final seal. Chain metals of Satan mean, to me, the metal that is used to make the bombs. They're like Satan's army, but doing the work for him. "All nations are raising Through acid veils of love and hate Cold fusion of furry" Cold fusion will be made possible, and will be horrible as per the outcome of said war. There'll be no hope for anyone. Solo #2 Janick "Divide and conquer while you may Others preach and others fall to pray In the bunkers where we'll die We're the executioners, they lie" Some will take part in this war to gain power. Others will see it as the end of the world, and preach to others, while some will just pray for God to forgive their sins. The 'executioners' could be the political leads who will say 'Everything will be alright if you stay down here.' They're executioners becuase they will be the ones who fired off the first shots for the nukes. Thank you, US president and his cabinet. "Bombers launch with no recall Minute warning of the missile fall Take a look at your last sky Guessing you won’t have the time to cry" As the war wages, and you see a plane coming overhead in the last sky you'll ever see, you won't even have time to cry before the nuke drops and you're forever gone. "Out of the the universe, a strange love is born Unholy union, trinity reformed" See above. "Out of the darkness... Out of the darkness... Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousands suns" See above. "Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousands suns Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousands suns Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousands suns Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousands suns" Again. "Holy father we have sinned" Well, duh, that's all we do. |
