| Orgy – Fiction (Dreams In Digital) Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
As a side note, Fiction has been a big deal for me since I was 14 or 15, especially due to what was going on in my life at the time. I remember feeling like I was going crazy, the night of my 15th birthday. I thought I might hurt myself pretty badly and felt like my life was falling apart.. I sat up all night like I had for months, screaming my head off, but that night was definitely the worst. I had this song to get me through it, and my best friend, and I made it out. Shortly after I was put on some medication and things started to improve, but Fiction will always remind me of the lowest point in my life. Obviously by the username you can tell that it kinda stuck with me for identity reasons. To me, this song describes who I am in probably the most truthful and simplest way I've heard yet. I see it as being about a person stuck in the jaws of life and at their lowest like I was, on the downward spiral of being pretty pathetic (now that control is gone), a shell of a person left over. She's cut herself off from the world to keep the pain away (she's lost in coma/living in a permanent imagination), but the person singing to her seems to jeer at her attempts at defending herself from the world. The song seems to reference something about to happen, and having reached the point of "shut down mode". I also get the feeling that the singer talking is more of an internal voice, like the voice of the person's super ego.The voice is talking to them with the realization that the person is giving up and in the aftermath of things, the person listens to their internal ridicule of some serious failed potential. My interpretation is a little more systematic side, breaking down the events, but I'm sure you can use your imagination to fill in the lines of the person and what it feels like. The first stanza seems to paint a picture of what the person and their life has been like in the past and up to this point, especially talking about "living in a permanent imagination" and "sleeping to escape reality". I always got this feeling that it had been that way for a long time. The chorus seems to get into the present state of things, "now that control is gone", "she's dreaming in digital, she dreams in digital". The singer seems to start the song off with bringing you into the situation and letting you know who this person is, but the chorus moves into the moment of truth so to speak, the whole time in a pretty antagonizing, jeering tone, almost like saying, "You were bad enough as it was, but now you've really lost it and you're just an empty waste of time." The chorus seems to outwardly address the audience at the same time, warning the listener to stay away from this person because of what they've become, and the fact that they could even be dangerous to others - "she's nothing more than fiction". They're a monster from their own disastrous state of being. The stanza after the chorus seems to move into what's about to transpire. "Your pixel army can't save you now" "my finger's on the kill switch" - getting ready for the moment of reckoning. The pixel army reference I interpret as a nod to their potential or the power they had/could have possessed but now is lost.` "I remember I used to compose your dreams" "control your dreams" is another reference to how great they were/could have been, but with an abusive tone, taking a voice that sounds like a person in their lives who did them wrong. It gives more insight for the life they lead and leaves a sense of guilt like they needed to be controlled in order to do anything right, or like they were never good enough of their own accord. Then the voice almost seems to end the stanza by asking "Any last words?" "don't be afraid to expose yourself before I shut you down" is more jeering before pointing out in disgust to what's happened in the present "you've made some changes since the virus caught you sleeping". And then it fades out with the chorus repeating, and you know that it's over and whatever's done is done. |

| She Wants Revenge – Sister Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I also want to emphasize how the Sister reference is probably trying to point out that he wants to protect her more than anything. Sure you can think of a nun, but you can also think of a sister in a relational way and I think that's the symbol of innocence and protection. | |
| She Wants Revenge – Sister Lyrics | 15 years ago |

I think they're 2 young drunk people who happen to be friends and probably interested in each other to some extent. Either way, the guy doesn't feel this is the time or state of mind to be intimate, for obvious reasons, but even more specific being that she might have just gotten out of a relationship or has had known bad relationship experiences. He knew his judgment was sound like it says, but I think her "questions on her tongue" and how he had "seen every one" was him anticipating her being upset with him and thinking maybe he didn't care about her by turning down her sexual advances. Also her telling him to "shut the door when you go" made him wonder when he left if he had ruined his chances with her. I think the religious references are just to emphasize the sexual tension and also the vulnerability of the girl in her current drunken and possibly hurt state. I think he was being pretty clever and racy by connecting the 2 it's a lot more interesting and dramatic then just choosing not to take advantage of a drunk girl trying to seduce you. |

| I've heard some people say it's about drug addiction. Maybe they thought stoned, cold instead of stone cold and ran with it. | |
| David Usher – Black Black Heart Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
My interpretation of the song is of a very personal situation and probably isn't what he meant, but I thought it might be interesting to think about. In general, my version is about a person who lead a life of heartache, having lost interest in everything and given up to the point of possible suicide, then someone came into their life that they found they had feelings for which they couldn't run away from, and they fell in love. This song is about the intimate relationship with said "lover" and about being tossed around by personal self-loathing, lack of self-esteem and pessimistic thoughts of abandonment, having given up only to have to find the strength to start again. I made a bit of a breakdown of lyrics: "Something ugly this way comes Through my fingers sliding inside All these blessings all these burns" - Pessimistic worry of the future with lover, review of their painful past experiences "I'm godless underneath your cover" - No longer invincible through escaping feelings and giving up "Search for pleasure search for pain" - Trying to be happy but also looking for things to worry about and/or intensifying feelings with both because it's all they know how to do "In this world now I am undying" - Forced to feel and not give up. "I unfurl my flag my nation helpless" - Surrendering to such feelings and what they result in. "Black black heart why would you offer more Why would you make it easier on me to satisfy" - Talking to the self pretty hatefully: "Of course you're not going to make this easy because you're a fucked up asshole who doesn't deserve anyone." "I'm on fire I'm rotting to the core I'm eating all your kings and queens All your sex and your diamonds" - Simply put: unhealthy and ruining all the good important things being kings and queens, and the sex and diamonds being the beautiful things and moments being gobbled up and taken for granted. "As I begin to lose my grip On these realities your sending" - Hit with reality after having cut themself off from the world, by day to day interaction with a lover who doesn't conform to the person's safe "reality", realizing they themselves are more unhealthy than they thought. "Taste your mind and taste your sex I'm naked underneath your cover" - More of the overwhelming loveliness/beauty and vulnerability to it. "Covers lie and we will blend and borrow With the coming sign" - Trying to make it work, to be in the present instead of the past and be understanding of each other, trying to make it through to the next moment even though there's worry of the future. "The tide will take the sea will rise and time will rape" - More pessimistic worry of the future, the possibility that lover will overtime hate who they are and everything will come crashing down. |
