Pantera – Hollow Lyrics 14 years ago
I keep listening to this song over and over because my best friend has been in a coma for 5 days now, due to an overdose. This has always been one of my favorite Pantera songs, I never expected to have to live it though.

Alice Cooper – Wind-Up Toy Lyrics 14 years ago
This is one of my favorite Alice Cooper songs. It's pretty self explanatory, the "Steven" character is now living in a mental institution.

Ozzy Osbourne – Close My Eyes Forever (Feat. Lita Ford) Lyrics 15 years ago
This is an amazing love song. I think it's about a girl who was probably sexually abused as a child and a guy who really wants to be with her, but can't because of her psychological trauma. Here is my interpretation...

(Lita)
Baby, I get so scared inside and I don't really understand
Is it love that's on my mind or is it fantasy

- She is afraid because the abuse that she faced as a child has left her with the inability to trust anyone. She doesn't know if she really loves the guy or if she is just going to use him as a temporary escape.

(Ozzy)
Heaven, is in the palm of my hand, and it's waiting here for you
What am I supposed to do with a childhood tragedy

- He is telling her that he loves her, but she needs to let go of her past. He is also asking himself how he can show her that he is serious and that he's not going to hurt her like the people from her past.

(Ozzy)
Sometimes it's hard to hold on
So hard to hold on to my dreams
It isn't always what it seems
When you're face to face with me

- He is losing hope and his dreams of a happy relationship with her are dying. She seems to be two different people and when they are together, he never knows which one to expect.

(Lita)
You're like a dagger
You stick me in the heart
And taste the blood from my blade
And when we sleep would you shelter me
In your warm and darkened grave

- She is very conflicted and is trying to let herself trust him and is still questioning whether or not he really loves her or if he is just playing a mind game with her.

(Lita)
Will you ever take me
(Ozzy)
No, I just can't take the pain
(Lita)
But would you ever trust me
(Ozzy)
No, I'll never feel the same

- She has finally let go of her past hurts and is now in love with him, but after the years of trying to no avail to get her to this point, the guy has lost hope and can't be with her because his feelings have changed and they will never be what they once were.

(Lita)
I know I've been so hard on you.
I know I've told you lies.
If I could have just one more wish,
I'd wipe the cobwebs from my eyes.

- She is apologizing to him for everything and is in regret, wishing that she could go back and love him from the start.

(Lita and Ozzy alternating)
If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain unchanged
If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain the same

- This is saying, "If we just start over and forget everything that happened, will it be any different?"
Then at the end where Ozzy says, "Close your eyes, close your eyes for me," he is saying, "Yes, I still love you, let's start over and try again."

That is my 2 cents anyways. This is such a beautiful song and to me it is one of the best things that Ozzy ever contributed to.

Metallica – Fixxxer Lyrics 15 years ago
I can see how people can assume that this song is about God and human suffering, but I don't think that's what it's about at all. I believe this song is about a guy who had an abusive childhood and who is having a conversation with himself. He is finding that he still suffers from the psychological trauma from being abused and that it's carrying over into his own family. "Just when all seems fine and I'm pain free, you jab another pin, jab another pin in me." This is meaning that when he thinks he is doing better and moving forward in life, those old scars resurface and drag him back down again, this happens with everyone who has experienced any kind of trauma. "Mirror, mirror upon the wall, Break the spell or become the doll." We've all do this from time to time, look into the mirror and talk to our reflection in order to figure something out. He is questioning whether or not he has the ability to heal himself of what had been done to him and move on. I also think that he has given up hope and is contemplating suicide in order to spare his family from the things that he's doing or the things he's afraid he may end up doing. There are many examples in the lyrics, but I don't feel like going through and explaining them all.
