| The Cure – Siamese Twins Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I agree with IsItAlwaysLikeThis, more or less. The narrator being stuck in a relationship, developing hate for a person he was once fond of. I also came to think of this because of the title – being unchangeably part of something which you detest. The a blade is mentioned, maybe to put an end to it. He wonders “Is it always like this?” because he was in love at the beginning and is now so disappointed – do all relationships take this course? Why did he get into this in the first place? It must have been her” voodoo smile”. And he is not only disappointed but disgusted, perhaps feeling like he’d rather died being stained by the contact, as if ‘worms were already eating his skin away’. I think that the right light does not necessarily refer to prostitution. But who is the girl at the window? Maybe she reminds him of freedom (the window being a symbol), of the feelings you have when you are happily in love, however in some way makes him realise that he is uncontent. I mean, that does happen sometimes, doesn’t it? You are in a relationship, neither happy nor really sad, than you just see someone, and you don’t even know the person, and suddenly you notice how distressed you are. “I walked away and grew old”, to my mind, is only an imagination of what would be the alternative to his present situation – something mirthless. We don’t now why, but there is no way out for the narrator, the only thing he can do is to remember that “we all die”. |

| Morrissey – I Have Forgiven Jesus Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Something I' like to add: Maybe the song is about a person taht lost his faith in god's goodness. Who tried to be good and righteous - but received nothing in return but mischief. But he still has a good heart and feels love but all other people are to different, if not bad, so perhaps he forgives Jesus because he'd rather look up to an evil good than to nothing. |

Lepra Messias - I've seen that movie, too. Disturbing, but poetic, as you said. That's why I joined this debate at all, I don't like Rammstein infact. I am german and forgot about that TV Sandmännchen-background. Embarrassing, since I watched it myself when I was little.. |

| Thanks Malwurf. Really perfect interpretation, enjoyed reading it. I had this surface-thing in mind, too. :) This world needs more bands like genesis and more listeners like you!! | |
| Genesis – Mama Lyrics | 20 years ago |

Hey, it's definitley about a prostitute! Phil actually says it himself on the Genesis Songbook DVD!! I'm still indecisive concerning mother or girlfirend - you english-speaking guys should stop using the word "mama" for your chicks, really. |

I'm astonished nobody has afimred yet that Jesus is the only one he adores and that he suffers because he cannot give his love to him. No, seriously. Nobody will be able to say if and how Morrissey is sexually orientated. But mysterious people are the most interesting ones - I guess he knows that, too. Viewed objectively, the "I" feels love but cannot find anybody he'd be attracted to. (HandsomeDevil, your sarcasm's already made my day!) |

| Rammstein – Mein Herz Brennt (English) Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Couldn't it have something to do with "Der Sandmann" written by E.T.A. Hoffamnn? It's about a man who wants to steal little children's eyes to feed them to his owl-like children who live on the moon. | |

| Genesis – Am I Very Wrong? Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I think it's about a birthday party whose host is extremely depressed, he's thinking about cutting himself because it all seems stupid and senseless to him - his life is like a neverening horror. | |
| Genesis – Snowbound Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
It's about children and the magical feeling of a snowy winter! There are some strange lines, though... Beautiful song, anyway. |

Yikes, that heroine stuff scares me, too. I love this song. Snatch IS a great movie, but so what. thanks you, oscarm0813 - at least it's not completly intellectually undemanding. Oo |

| Me too I think it's about the war between the sexes. "more earth than sea" means that the woman's pleasure is at last bigger than the man's one. There IS a mythologcal cotext, but I cannot remember it. | |

| I was told that the bluegirls are chicks in schooluniforms. I hope the song is not perverted... | |
| Genesis – Mama Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I thought it was about a guy worrying bout his mom being a prostiute. i know you can call a gal mama, too. but the song's even called mama and it's said a 100 times, would be weird to me if she was his girlfriend. moreover, if she was, he wouldn't be this desparate. | |
