Pepper – Green Hell Lyrics 14 years ago
Well I feel like everyone above has a point, music is a great thing because you can interpret it however you would like. But everyone is missing the true essence of pepper. Yes its a messed up relationship, but no the guy isn't feeling bad about what is happening and no the girl isnt playing him(honestly guys? have any of you seen pepper live? I have never heard of them talk about the girl that got away. This isn't some emo band.) He is either using a girl as a drunk hook up, or he is just using the girl as a way to get sex. Either way it isn't about a bad relationship for him. It’s more than less about him using the girl to get what he wants. And the way she is reacting to it. He is getting exactly what he wants and she tries to make him feel bad about it.

I can hear your soft, soft voice sliding down the walls
And I feel a green light kissing my face

(The soft voice sliding down the walls is him hearing the voice but not truly listening to it clearly cause he isn't paying attention, but he is seeing the signals and they are telling him to go for it(green means go).)

Tell me when you wake up is this where your gonna be

(when you wake up tomorrow will you be in my bed)

You don't think I'll notice but I can wait for you to leave

( The girl realized it was a mistake and is leaving thinking he wont notice and might actually care. But really he doesn't want her there anyways; he got what he wanted and doesn't want the awkward next morning.)

So when I saw this place that I couldn't resist
All these beautiful things yes I had to persist

(He realizes she is talking about sex… and you know he cant turn down sex)

When I went to touch them they'd act so tame
But underneath the glitter there was so much pain

(When he would make the move she would resist, but he knew that under that outer happiness was just a cover for an insecure girl)

Someone started talking, way below the pitch I read
I couldn't really hear what they were saying, but it really didn't bother me oh no

(His conscience and possibly the people around him are telling him not to go for it, but he doesn't listen cause he has been drinking or just truly doesn't care, and he drowned out all logic cause he wants sex)

I was on my way yah, to being lost all over again
I'm following this girl into the ocean, now I'm drowning in a mermaid’s bed

(he is on his way to what he has done one too many times before. he is following something that he knows isn’t real or made the girl believe something that isn’t real. But either way he is indulging in it.)

Now all your life has been wasted, chasing after me
And now you got the nerve, to come and put it all on me yah

(She thought so many times he would change, but finally realized that he has been playing her. Now she is going to blame him even thought she wanted it too.)

I love how these things come full circle, every time
Swinging around like a wrecking ball in your fragile soul

(Its amazing how she will always come back over and over again. Yet will still yell at him for it. And he is just crushing her dreams of it actually working out, killing her self esteem)

You can run, but the scars you can never hide
Oh your face is giving you away

(She can try and hide the truth but it will always show on her face)

And the truth hurts more than the matter
And the sun screams louder at night

(The fact of the matter is that she will always come back for more. And it will always show up when she is desperate at night.)

I can hear your soft, soft voice sliding down the walls
And I feel a green light kissing my face
Tell me when you wake up is this where your gonna be
You don't think I'll notice but I can wait for you to leave
Oh, do you know where you are, do you at all
Do you know where you are, do you at all
Know where you are, my green hell
