Espers – Rosemary Lane Lyrics 14 years ago
I love this song, because I love old ballads in general.

This song is sad though, it's beautiful but so sad. Reminds me of the other ballads about no good sailors and poor maids. =(

Lady GaGa – Paparazzi Lyrics 15 years ago
I love that this song can have multiple meanings if you really look at it.
On one hand it could be the very self-explanatory "paparazzi trying to make money off celebrities" bit. On the other hand it could be from the POV of the celebrities who are "media-whores" so to say.
But then there's this kind of satirical way of describing an obsessed fan or girl in general.
Love it.

Emilie Autumn – Misery Loves Company Lyrics 15 years ago
This sounds bipolar to me. :)

"Do I need you?
yes and no"

Sounds very bipolar. A very dysfunctional relationship in which both partners are damaged in some way.

I'm not for you
You're not for me
I'll kill you first
You wait and see

The killing part is not literal, but more of a "I'll hurt you first" thing. Out of the two of them, she's the more screwed up. Thats how I see it.

Emilie Autumn – Gentlemen Aren't Nice Lyrics 15 years ago
I agree with these opinions about the meaning of the song. The singer/narrator could be a persona of a cold, mean woman who treats men bad, i.e. the role reversal that Jemmargh is talking about, becuase usually its the other way around. It's definantly a satirical song with heavy sarcasm.
I personally love the dramatics, I mean isn't that trademark what Emilie Autumn?
Plus the ragtime/burlesque sound of it is to die for. :)

Flyleaf – Again (Album version) Lyrics 15 years ago
I agree with what the majority of people here have said; that this is God's POV.
My interpretaion in a nutshell:

"I love the way that your heart breaks
With every injustice and deadly fates
Praying it all will be new
And living like it all depends on you"
-God's love for humanity and their empathy when bad things occur, esp. to others. Wanting to help and then deciding it's all up to you, maybe rejecting a higher power but God still loves us.

"Here you are down on your knees again
Trying to find air to breathe again
And only surrender will help you now
I love you, please see and believe again"
- We will turn to God in our worst times. Surrender means accept that you're not the ultimate power in the world. God wants us to regain our faith.

"I love that you're never satisfied
With face-value wisdom and happy lies
You take what they say and go back and cry
You're so close to me that you nearly died"
- Our freewill to choose what to believe. In death we are with God, so being so close to Him is like death.

And then the line that intrigues me: "The flood gates are breaking, they're pouring out"
Anyone else notice that floodgates are mentioned in their other song, Bittersweet?
It goes: "The pent up flood gates maintained in your tone"
Is this intentional? I don't know, hmm...it's interesting. I wonder what it means.

Flyleaf – Bitter Sweet Lyrics 15 years ago
Great song.
One thing that interested me was the line "The pent up flood gates maintained in your tone"
In their other song Again, one part mentions floodgates too. "The floodgates are breaking and pouring out". Hmm, anyone know if thats coincidence or intentional? Do floodgates have meaning?

Flyleaf – Beautiful Bride Lyrics 15 years ago
"Strengthen your arms now
Train your fingers for battle
Urgency's here now
Train your fingers for battle"

I'm pretty sure it's about members of the Church (i.e. Christians) preparing to stand up against evil, injustice, and the like. Not literal "battle", but a figurative one.

Hence the "Fighting this violence
With your feet wrapped in peace"

Basically the song, like everyone else said, can be interpreted as a call for Christians to unify against all the bad in the world. Hope that helps. :)

Red Hot Chili Peppers – Sexy Mexican Maid Lyrics 15 years ago
Haha, this song actually makes me happy to be Mexican. A rarity for me. Lol.
I agree though that this song is pure sex. It's what makes it great. ;)

Breathe Carolina – Velvet Lyrics 15 years ago
I think michaelc52 is pretty much right. The songs has hints of it everywhere.

"I just wanna witness." i.e. not taking action/becoming invovled; which is not having intercourse

"Watch you severing that velvet" Uh, yeah, pretty self-explanatory

Also "The way you touch yourself"

Either way, you gotta love this song. :)

Emilie Autumn – Opheliac Lyrics 16 years ago
Yes! I noticed too. Sometimes it seems like it's Hamlets POV and other times it's Ophelia's.
"I know you'd take me back
But still I feign confusion"
-Hamlet knowing Ophelia still loves him, but continuing his "insane" act

"I couldn't be your friend
My world was too unstable
You might have seen the end
But you were never able"
-Halmet was starting to get closer to Ophelia when all his problems started, Ophelia couldn't help him even though she saw him in trouble

"You know the games I play and the words I say when I want my own way
You know the lies I tell when you've gone through hell and I say I can't stay"
-Hamlet constantly plays mind games with Ophelia and does anything for his own plans

"You know how hard it can be to keep believing in me
When everything and everyone becomes my enemy
And when there's nothing more you can do I'm gona blame it on you"
- Hamlet can't trust anyone, especially with what he sees as Ophelia's father and others using her to get to him. He gets angry with her and blames her.

But this seems like Ophelia to me:
"Im your Opheliac
My stalkings prove my virtue"
-Ophelia is known to be pure.

"I'm open to attack
But I don't want to hurt you."
-Could be her vulnerability, "open to attack"= free to attack, but she doesn't want to hurt him, i.e. attack back perhaps

So yeah, there's alot of meaning in these lyrics and that's what makes it so great! :)
