| Imagine Dragons – Tiptoe Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
This song is about Ninjas. They come in the morning, no one sees them come, they tiptoe. It all fits! It all depends on weather it should be heard as "Hey yeah, they don't let them know we're coming" or "HIYA!!!! Don't let them know we're coming," however. |

| DragonForce – No More Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| It's a break up song. It's about someone who's been in a relationship that's bad on both sides finally ending it. | |
| DragonForce – Tomorrow's Kings Lyrics | 10 years ago |

This song can be summed up in one word. YOLO! Between this and the break up songs I'm wondering if Dragonforce is secretly positioning themselves to be a pop band. |

| Avril Lavigne – Innocence Lyrics | 11 years ago |

I can get why people think this song is actually about being happy, but that's not how I see it. The downright somber melody and the fact that half the chorus is spent begging this person who has made her happy not to leave her should be a clue. It seems to me the subject of this song had sex with a person they are totally head over heels with, but who doesn't necessarily feel the same way. Waking up she sees that everything is ok and feels complete for the first time in her life, but this person is ready to walk way. In the verses she describes how she's feeling right now, but the chorus comes along and reminds you that this feeling is fleeting and won't last. |

| The Wallflowers – Empire Of My Mind Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
This song was written specifically for the TV show "The Guardian," and was used as the theme song in its last two seasons. It's about the show's main character, a probationer (a lawyer sentenced to 1500 hours working as a child advocate for drug possession, giving the show its title) who often finds himself in situations where there is no clear right or wrong and having to pick a side, and also finds himself doing the wrong thing when there is a clear right and wrong and not knowing why he does these things. Great show, great theme song, one of the most complex characters to ever grace the TV screen. The show is available on Netflix in the US right now. It's highly recommended. |

| Nightwish – The Carpenter Lyrics | 14 years ago |

Torot isn't Satanic. It's a tool for charlatan psychics as well as rituals in neo pagan beliefs. It has absolutely nothing to do with any of the different varieties of Satanism (which is as much a valid religion as any other.) Now you know: And knowing is half the battle |

I can't find it again but I read it was about a girl the writer knew who has sexomnia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_sex It's a real thing. It makes sense if you think about it. |

| DragonForce – The Last Journey Home Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I think this song is about a soldier with PTSD. "Strangers to reason, our bleeding hearts so cold, Life brings a change in season, fear will blind the soul, In the silence one moment alone, Cast away scattered far on the wasteland." He's sent in with his team who are all killed. Their hearts turned cold and he was in silence alone while they were all killed. "Sever the soul from the forgotten sickness, escape this life, Challenge the dream before the long departed a mindless rhyme," He thinks of committing suicide to escape his illness, while hearing his team tell him to do it in his head. "Still lost in a fire storm, Tonight we feel the past return. Lost inside the dream, pass by the life we'll live forever, Still the wasted time left burning below One thousand shattered voices, lost inside in endless wonder, Tonight her voice will take me home." He relives the experience over and over, only being brought out of it by his wife/girlfriend/whatever. "[Chorus:] Shine glorious we run, we stare into the blackened sky, Save the last command, the virtue blinding, So far beyond the sun, still burning with the fire inside, Once alone again, silent stares for our last journey home." He relives the experience again in his dreams, trying to change things but he can't "save the last command." He remembers burning with rage when arriving home and being greeted only with silent stares. "Paralysed, intensified mutation, frustration, Everlasting lifetime in the underworld, We'll travel endlessly, deluded, disjointed, One man can't understand this sad misery." He's been changed by the experience and thinks no one can ever understand. "They've taken my heart, They've taken my soul, And now we stand alone insanity." The person he was with before has left. He now has no one and stands alone with the imagined images of his fallen comrades in insanity. "In time we'll see the past unwind, Alive, still wandering our fallen land," He feels like his homeland isn't the place he left any more, and he wanders it alone, probably homeless "One more time we stare into the blackened sky, For tonight, in our hearts now we feel, One last time see our destiny revealed." He goes crazy and relives the battle in public, "Shine glorious tonight, still blinded by the blackened sun, Save the last command, forever rising, So far beyond they come, still burning with the fire inside, Once alone again, silent stares for our last journey home." He hurts people during this episode, believing the whole time that he is back in the battle, and is once again returned home only to silent stares. |

| DragonForce – Revelations Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Most of the time when someone ascribes religious meaning to a Dragonforce song, I sort of cringe. But this song does seem to be about the book of revelation. "Blazing up through the heavens like eagles we fly And the horsemen shall come they will judge all your lives Revelations will now be unveiled" It's a clear reference to the four horsemen of the apocalypse and the final judgement in that book. "The second age is coming It's the dawn of a new day Judgement stands before us The second king will rise" In Revelation the second age comes after a final climactic battle with heaven and hell (how else would you end it? Even if you're not religious Revelation is a good read as fiction). So the song is about God's angels fighting the forces of hell. Pretty standard fantasy battle song other than coming from the bible. |

| DragonForce – Disciples of Babylon Lyrics | 14 years ago |

I'm going to grain against what's been posted here. I believe this song has a meaning that is at the same time much deeper, and much simpler. It's about a girl the writer loves who is being abused by ther boyfriend/husband. "Can you imagine that it's all up to you Evil embrace of powers unnatural You're left in silence nothing more to behold You close your eyes and visualize the day you'll get away" The evil embrace is the abusive boyfriend, she visualises leaving him. "Crying alone at night your destiny unknown You're every being full of rage and hate Seems like you're running but you just can not hide It's in a raging fear all solitude is left behind" She's full of rage and hate because of how she's treated, she has no privacy because of his abusive nature. "It's here It's near I see it all so clear Tonight your flight will take you higher It's here It's near You live a life of fear Tonight is the night that will inspire" He imagines freeing her from this abusive man tonight. She refuses to leave with him, and he wonders why; "Can he comfort thee and fill your life with ecstasy" "Through the darkness and the pain Will you be the ones again Disciples of Babylon" She may never leave him because she's a "dicible of babylon" which is a metephorical way to say she's too confused to. A simple song with lyrics chosen to make it sound more epic then it really is. That's one of the reasons I love this band so much. |
