| Garbage – Only Happy When It Rains Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
It's about taking pleasure from sadness. It's not like being happy. It brings you down every single time. A big part of depression is feeling guilty. For whatever reason, however ridiculous it seems. This leads to self hatred and everything entailed. There are many forms of self harm. You can cut your self,burn your skin or pull your hear. But it can also affect the inside. Sometimes, sadness is a drug. A Powerful addiction you can't live without. You wont enjoy it, but somehow, it gives you life. And the source is everywhere. A sad song, bad news or complicated relationships. Until pain becomes an obsession, something you sort of like, because deep down you believe you deserve it. |

I hate this song. I can't stand the ending lines. It's killing me. It's coming after me every night. Some artists can really reach souls. The scary thing is what happens next. |

| System of a Down – Question! Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
It's about a couple discovering the mystery of afterlife. The question is: what happens when they go? Do they die? The sweet berries are the ticket. They give them the most desirable answer, being some sort of poison which will send them dreaming. The video starts with a boy killing a red bird. Then a little girl appears dressed in red and the boy comes again to offer her the sweet berries. The girl flies and a young woman comes to her place. In the last part of the video this woman appears with a red line of liquid (as the berry juice) running from the corner of her mouth as she dies. Then the circle is complete as a baby comes to life wrapped in red cloth. The girl here and there seems to be confused. She seems to hesitate. The idea first came to the dark eyed boy. He first started to wonder. The way he, later as a grown man, holds and pulls her hand as if he's asking her to try. After all the ghosts are waiting for them. The ghosts are other people, who like them had this question and they are now in the other side waiting for them. The horsemen are the quardians of her spirit. They will escort her soul to her next birth. |

| Kansas – Carry on Wayward Son Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
How about this....a suicidal letter Carry on my wayward son For there'll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don't you cry no more The voices encourage him to carry on, not to step back and finish it because that's the only way he will ever find peace.. They're asking him to lay down his head, to rest(in his coffin) and at last give an end to his crying. Once i rose above the noise and confusion Just to get a glimpse beyond the illusion I was soaring ever higher,but i flew too high Once he tried to move away from all this confusion, to take a little glimpse of how a normal, a happy(maybe), man could live. Or maybe he took a high dose of reality, way too high for him to handle. He flew too high. Though my eyes could see i still was a blind man Though my mind could think i still was a mad man I hear the voices when i'm dreamin', i can hear them say.. Everything seemed to be normal but still, he could not see or think. Madness and depression was inside him. He could only hear the voices telling him the same thing. Masquerading as a man with a reason My charade is the event of the season And if i claim to be a wise man, it surely mean that i don't know He tries to seem normal, but the only thing in his mind is his problem. He tries to seem wise, but he is so confused, knowing nothing about how did he get here or what is he doing here. On a stormy sea of moving emotion Tossed about i'm like a ship on the ocean I set a course for winds of fortune, but i hear the voices say His emotions are moving like in a stormy sea. Ups and downs about his life, his relationships, his last decision, like some short of cyclothymia or even worse bipolar disorder. He feels like a ship on the ocean. He makes an effort to set a new course but the voices are still there Carry on, you will always remember Carry on, nothing equals the splendor Now your life's no longer empty Surely heaven waits for you Do it, your problem will be there for ever Do it, and you will be the winner Now you have a purpose And the heaven waits for you All this voices are one part of himself that insists in the solution of hopelessness. It's the same part that prevails in the mind of every suicide. Please excuse my way of using english and any possible mistake. I am a foreigner. Of course this version came up from my point of view. It doesn't necessarily mean that that's the way the artist thought of it. |
