| Artist vs. Poet – Adorable Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Her tongue cuts like a knife, but he loves it that way. Not exactly Hollywood romance, but it's certainly more relate-able. Just like U2's "Sweetest Thing" I suspect many people just listen to the chorus and completely miss the full meaning about the bitter-sweet nature of the relationship in question. | |
| William Control – Dorian Gray Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Proper formatting to save the day! This song is about Dorian Gray, the man who sold his soul so that his painting of himself would age instead of him. Live through the ages Witness my friends rust and turn to ash Break down in phases And yet my skin is perfect glass I have kept this portrait in pristine care I have kept my secret well Until the day comes when the loneliness Is, oh, too much to bear Would you embrace me with open arms? Would you encase me in a picture of my heart? Dorian Gray, already headed to hell Take me away, pick a side and place a bet Dorian Gray, have you something to sell? I've got your bodice and your dress Turn back the time To the fearless boy I was so long ago She is love, she is filth She can destroy my soul Would you embrace me with open arms? Would you encase me in a picture of my heart? Dorian Gray, already headed to hell Take me away, pick a side and place a bet Dorian Gray, have you something to sell? I've got your bodice and your dress Dorian Gray, already headed to hell Take me away, pick a side and place a bet Dorian Gray, have you something to sell? I've got your bodice and your dress Intellect in itself is a mode of exaggeration An artist should create beautiful things But should put nothing of his own life into them The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it If the cave man had known how to laugh History would have been different I have kept my portrait clean I have kept my secret well Now the day has come The sun has burned away Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me Dorian Gray, already headed to hell Take me away, pick a side and place a bet Dorian Gray, have you something to sell? I've got your bodice and your dress |

| William Control – All Due Restraint Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Fixed. Lost a pound of flesh in suicidal dreams Drugged up on a London city street I awoke without a name in Hell Found Scylla and Charybdis An empty train awaits Now I'm headed northwest To the beautiful Manchester Sunset And now I'm going home But where is home? Synthesized again Yeah, I'm flying high Ropes are bound and my chest is tied In the underground world of Chelsea This is where we feel love, find life, kill time This is where our pessimism comes to die Here you can trade your flesh for currency All due restraint Take a picture With all my restraint It's my picture Come with me to the other side Come dance with me in the dead of night (You say you want to live in the darkness?) (I'll set you free) It's a long road to hell and back Come with me to the other side Come dance with me in the dead of night (You say you want to live in the darkness?) (I'll set you free) It's a long road to hell and back Come with me to the other side Come dance with me in the dead of night (You say you want to live in the darkness?) (I'll set you free) It's a long road to hell and back Come with me to the other side Come dance with me tonight You say you want to live in the darkness? (I'll set you free) It's a long road to hell |

| William Control – My Lady Dominate Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This song is obviously about a dominatrix. Anyway, here's a good layout of the lyrics. She woke the dead, her passion painted in red Yeah, she taught us how to scream With eyes sewn shut, and salt in our cuts Our bodies made to bleed Her wrists are tied, a blade of fortune insane And she's so very grateful (She's a dirty little whore isn't she?) Bring out the pain, will she oblige? That willing hand, lay your body down Bring out the pain, will you survive? That willing hand, lay your body down You gotta live in a world so strange I wanna live in a world so very fucking strange My lady dominate Show the world how to love that shame And teach us all to feel With a whip so sharp, tear us apart And a subject of sorrow and fear Her wrists are tied, a blade of fortune insane And she's so very grateful Bring out the pain, will she oblige? That willing hand, lay your body down Bring out the pain, will you survive? That willing hand, lay your body down Bring out the pain, will she oblige? That willing hand, lay your body down Bring out the pain, will you survive? That willing hand, lay your body down You gotta live in a world so strange I wanna live in a world so very fucking strange I wanna live in a world so strange I wanna live in a world so strange I wanna live in a world so strange |

| William Control – Soliloquy Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Minor grammar correction and major formatting fix. Oh Lord, I've tried to cut away All the cancer that lives within my skin and bones Oh my, how hard it's been to live Without you by my side In this bed across the world, across the world Loss, I've lived in tragedy I've given everything, my soliloquy Loss, my savage will to live My one last chance to give this soliloquy This time, how calm before the storm The sun sets and our hearts grow very, very cold This life, how much longer can I wait? If money was my object I'd bore you with a subject involving love Involving love Involving love Loss, I've lived in tragedy I've given everything, my soliloquy Loss, my savage will to live Just one last chance to give this soliloquy |

| William Control – Why Dance With The Devil When You Have Me? Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This song is very good, but it was crazy difficult to get these lyrics down. I did my best, but I need some help with the parts that have an ellipsis... (Find me some) Drugs, drugs, drugs, drugs (Find me some) Drugs, drugs, drugs, drugs Prescription pills, darvocet, Oxycontin, mesca-line And a whole array of synthetic medicine Crystal glass, Ketamine, heroin, cyanide dream And a whole generation laughs (Hahahahaha) It's not the drugs that killed your mom It's not the blade that raped your brother A whole world is suffering (suffering) Can't be the love we lost as children (we lost as children) Can't be the price of a thousand prostitute graves (we lost our lives) Nobody loves here everybody hates I will survive (Why are you dancing with the devil?) I will survive (Why are you dancing with the devil?) When the sun sets down on my heart (Dance with the devil) When the sun sets down I'm a star Why dance with the devil, when you have me? I feel so alone, in a state of depression, at an all-time low Could I stay in deception where nobody would know Lysergic acid, psycho active, morphine, coke, sodomy At war with society (Charge!) Self-medication, codeine supply, self-mutilation Sex taught suicide It's not the drug that killed my soul Not the pain of losing blood In a ghost town paid symphony Can't be the love we lost as children (we lost as children) Can't be the price of fucking saving your skin (we lost our lives) Nobody loves here, everybody hates I will survive (Why are you dancing with the devil?) I will survive (Why are you dancing with the devil?) When the sun sets down on my heart (dance with the devil) When the sun sets down I'm a star (Why don't you take it out?) I will survive (Why are you dancing with the devil?) I will survive (Why are you dancing with the devil?) When the sun sets down on my heart (Dance with the devil) When the sun sets down I'm a star Why dance with the devil when you have me? (When you have me corrupt!) Mushrooms, crack, my mind is cracked my mind is trapped, my spine is tapped A little bit of... It feels like I'm on cyanide, methanphedamines Yurn churn... Heaven, hell, help me please Screams, yell... Anything can happen, I feel so trappend in Nobody loves me, everybody hates Suicidal minds... Poison in my veins, nobody cares If I live, If I die no reason to be here ... Vicodin... I'm going crazy I've got to settle in I feel a little hazy, a little haroin I close my eyes... begin |

| Fan Death – Veronica's Veil Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Fixed lyrics. I joined all the others who lined the path Some clutched stones, others held their breath I was the wife of a Roman who had sentenced you I just came to observe I was not planning to Enter the procession as it passed me by, But I felt bound to raise my veil to wipe the sweat from your eyes And when I pulled it back I knew the rumors were true Cause burned into that sheet was the image of you I think I can believe now In the sin I've done and that you can absolve me And everyone Will be rewarded for their faith and belief In the sharing of your word From the cloth you lay beneath I think I can believe now In the sin I've done and that you can absolve me And everyone Will be rewarded for their faith and belief In the sharing of your word From the cloth you lay beneath I think I can believe now I think I can believe now I think I can believe now I think I can believe -lieve -lieve -lieve -lieve now I came to the emperor to show the sacred cloak To heal and convince him you weren't a joke Your face will never leave him now that he has seen the mark That lifted shroud has cured him; shedding light where there was dark But I only wish you'd shown me with no sacrifice If only I could have believed you without the need of sight But my dedication to you now will never be swayed since I saw the thorn crown and the blood you have paid I think I can believe now In the sin I've done and that you can absolve me And everyone Will be rewarded for their faith and belief In the sharing of your word From the cloth you lay beneath I think I can believe now In the sin I've done and that you can absolve me And everyone Will be rewarded for their faith and belief In the sharing of your word From the cloth you lay beneath I think I can believe now I think I can believe now I think I can believe now I think I can believe now I think I can believe now I think I can believe now In you The meaning of this song couldn't be more obvious. No interpretation required. |

| Placebo – English Summer Rain Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I'd say all the previous elaborations about a former lover, or a potential lover are valid. But there is always the option that it's about drugs. He's bored by the rut in the basement, so he's going to get a little help from the sky to relieve that mediocrity. The last lines about breath holding and counting are particularly dual. Either A, he's asking the lover for an answer and getting an answer he doesn't like and trying again. Or B, hes smoking pot and holding it in his lungs, then coughing it out (falling apart) and doing it again. Or maybe he's alternating, fails in asking the lover, relieves the pain with drugs and then goes back to try again on the lover. The possibilities are infinite. | |
