Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds – Oh My Lord Lyrics 15 years ago
to me the song is about dealing with him being Nick Cave, the family man vs. Nick Cave the entertainer. and sometimes how they may clash. In this song he builds a world of a man in a decent, in almost david lynchian ways. And maybe he thinks that neither side his family or his fans get him.. and he feels lost.

Meat Loaf – The Future Ain't What It Used To Be Lyrics 16 years ago
besides if these albums are a loose trilogy about The Rider then this is how it must end. With him all run out of adventures, and loves.. and passing away for better or worse.

Meat Loaf – The Future Ain't What It Used To Be Lyrics 16 years ago
about aging. As you find yourself moving towards the end. You notice that what IS could have been so much better.. and you wish, pray, daydream for things to come, but as each day passes they become less tangible. Dreams, projects, ideas, all these slip from you. Till you find you self spending more time trying to remember things, instead of dreaming up futures that will never be. each day moving closer to the future that is only the sad ending present. until the end of the song which is about him dying not just aging.

"Say a prayer for the falling angels (you say prayers for dead)
Stem the tide of the rising waters (trying to stop something)
Toll a bell for the broken hearted (you toll bells for the dead)
Burn a torch for your sons and daughters (pass the light to your children)
The endless night has got a hold of me (endless night = death)
Dark days are pulling me forward
And all the tears are washing over me-
I'm crying, lost forever-
In a future that ain't what it used to be
No more no more no more"

Faith No More – Surprise! You're Dead! Lyrics 17 years ago
vampires.. all the way. Look at "morning after, and the real thing".. and think of those songs in context with louis's embrace in Interview with a vampire.. the real thing is pretty much verbatim about being embraced by a vampire.

Faith No More – The Real Thing Lyrics 17 years ago
The song is about Interview with a Vampire the novel.
"It's like the pattern below the skin
You gotta reach out and pull it all in
And you feel like you're too close
So you swallow another dose"
talking about the embrace when Louis explains being turned from mortal to immortal.
"And once you have bitten the core
You will always know the flavor
The split second of divinity
You drink up the sky
All of heaven is in your arms
You know the reason why"

most the songs from this album were written about vampires. Surprise your dead...."The hatred I bestowed
Upon your neck with a fatal blow
From my teeth and my tongue
I've drank and swallowed, but it's just begun"

think of the context.

"I know the feeling
It is the real thing
The essence of the truth
The perfect moment
That golden moment
I know you feel it too
I know the feeling
It is the real thing
You can't refuse the embrace"
embrace being the operative word here...

or even take from "the morning after"
Is this my blood dried upon my face?
Or is it the love of someone else?
It tastes so sweet, just like you used to
So rescue me my love, splice us together
I remember loving you so much
But where are you and where's your fatal touch?
When I closed my eyes, was it my siesta?
Did I encounter a darkness stronger than sleep?
I am thirsty for my sleep
There are no answers anyway..."

To me.. this album has always been the soundtrack to the anne rice books.

I always thought Patton would have made a good Lestat anyway. I could be way off base.. but hey try to keep it in mind when listening.

oh and the demo for the perfect crime Sweet emotion..
from the same Patton era
"Your face in the mirror doesn't give a reflection."
"You take your big guns, loading them with your fatal charm.
The fact is, you love me, nothing can kill me now."
....you judge.
