| Nirvana – Something in the Way Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
'The “something in the way” was Kurt. He felt like he was just something in the way. The song details the time he supposedly lived under a bridge. (He never actually did live under a bridge, but told people that he had.) The song is essentially about being discarded by those around you and made to feel like a burden. It’s a pretty personal song.' –The Amazing Atheist |

| Death in June – The Mourner's Bench Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
Something got hold of me Oh, yes it did! I said Something got hold of me It ratttled around my head... I went to a meeting last night But, my heart wasn't right Something got hold of me Oh, yes it did! I said Something got hold of me It ratttled around my head Early one morning On the mourner's bench My heart it was filled misery The same god that touched you one day He laid his hand on me! |

http://darkthrone-translations.blogspot.com/: 'In The Deep Forest's Embrace' There goes a road over the mountain In the deep forests' embrace Farms here suffered a cruel destiny Many ravens mourned by the corpses' burning Pest trod the Norwegian land From sea over land to another sea With heavy steps it went In the deep forests' embrace Death in black froze the soul Weakened the skin under a northern sky There goes a road over the mountain In the deep forests' embrace Slowly wandering leads me In the dark forest's realm To find a place old and forgotten From a lonely, black and endless night.... |

darkthrone-translations.blogspot.com: 'The Castle In The Distance' Can you see the castle in the distance? And its merry, noisy feast Couples dancing, couples laughing Couples swimming in unconscious sin And under the sun whom the dark ones worship They celebrate new year with feasting and jokes A shameful sin which gods reckon As spiritual failure And the holes are graves Which are only for them With spiritual needles That will forever... Torment every limb Can you see the castle in the distance? From your dark, grim cave So you can hate for a thousand years Rejoicing in the pain they receive |

English translation from darklyrics.com: 'Tale Of The Sun' She stood at the foot of a cliff so dark Painted, chalked and cold She drew a line With a tearing arm Over the edge of the skies Down to hottest depths She stood at the most blue widths of the ice Painted, chalked and cold She carved her sign, her rune With a tearing arm A ring around the waters current Sea beasts and steam rose She rose up above sky and space Painted, chalked and warm A flame ascended from the rocky depths From her hips, a firestorm She rose up above sky and space Painted, chalked and warm A flame ascended from the rocky depths From her hips, a firestorm She became light by the power of the flames Alone at the throne of space In all her glory She carved her sign, her rune With a tearing arm A ring around the waters current Sea beasts and steam rose |

| System of a Down – Aerials Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Nor here should that image of the river be left without a closer examination; for it appears, no doubt, as if the river had a beginning and an ending; but to those who investigate such things more closely, it becomes manifest that the moisture from the sea is drawn up by the power of the heavenly heat into the clouds, and from thence dispersed upon the mountains, which in turn pour it down in the form of a river along the thirsty plains. So that here too there is neither beginning nor end, although possibly if the drops were as easily deluded as mankind, they might dispute, as they rolled along, which was the more dignified of the number, or which should live the longest, fancying that they had begun to exist when they entered on the river's channel; or again, not knowing that the individuality of each may be decompounded, and the parts severed as they are re-cast into new combinations of particles. Or again, with equal wisdom they might dispute what was life and what death, or which ought to be called the cause, whether the river of the ocean, or the ocean of the dew, and so on. – Saugata Muni, 'A dialogue of the knowledge of the supreme lord, in which are compared the claims of Christianity and Hinduism, and various questions of Indian religion and literature fairly discussed.' |

| Serj Tankian – Borders Are... Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
"While the first official single is called 'Left Of Center', 'Borders Are' was the first thing I wanted to release because it was more about the statement than a first single idea for me. It also did a good job of introducing some of the sonic qualities of the new record, more so than the first single probably. That said, it definitely makes a bold political statement having to do with borders and our incessant use of them in physical land separation as well as the borders of our mind and hearts separating each other. It definitely interacts and is timely with things happening in Arizona, things happening in Gaza with the flotilla aid, things happening in North and South Korea with the sinking of the South Korean ship, the denial and allegations, the Kashmir conflict which has existed since the creation of Pakistan . . . . It goes on. http://www.antiquiet.com/interviews/2010/07/serj-tankian-interview/ |

"It's a pretty old song. I've had in the vaults for quite a bit of time actually. To me, it's like a poetry of our existence. It talks about nature and spirituality and what we're facing in the times to come in a very poetic way." http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/news/article/0,,6665822,00.html |

| Serj Tankian – Peace Be Revenged Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
When people ask me what religion I am, I always say, see that tree outside, go ask the trees the same thing, you know? I believe very firmly that indigenous populations had a really good, intuitive understanding of why we're here. And we're trying to gain that same understanding through psychology and intellect in modern civilization. We're not there. I've been doing an interesting experiment with journalists, that after they interview me, we send them a question from me to answer, which is "What does civilization mean to you, and what would its ending bring to the world?" -- Serj Tankian "Those that survive Connect with all alive Peace will be returned, We need to praise you, Peace will first be revenged." "And, behold, thusly was the Law formulated; IMPOSITION of Order = escalation of Disorder!" H.B.T.; The Gospel According to Fred, 1:6 |

| Serj Tankian – Electron Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
"We sing to the spirit world so close Providing our vital life force Then, we breathe, We breathe with the breath of I-Ching With the spirit that moves through all things Now, we see Seeing of all that is alive Will be the way to survive Life, released" The I-Ching is also known as the Book of Changes. We breathe with breath of change with the spirit that movies through all things (Brahman/Anima mundi). It's about being the change we wish to see in the world because the world will inevitably change, for better or worse, so make it for better. "The storm shines bright" invokes the immanent (Divine) winds of change. |

| Serj Tankian – Reconstructive Demonstrations Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
"They say women cry when walls retire, They say dead men die when walls retire, when walls retire," How many unconventional deconstructive conversations have led to, "But if we withdraw our troops, the terrorists will bring the war to our soil!" They say when borders are dissolved there will be immense suffering. Anarchy is equated with violence and disarray by those who aim to propagate violence and disarray. "No one seems to understand that, We are falling to our knees, Blindness serves not god nor men, So we are falling into disease," When we turn a blind eye to violence, pretend it's not happening, we are essentially allowing it to continue without question (unconventional deconstructive conversations). We make ourselves part of the disease. |

The lyrics are actually: "The love that you bring You bring me along, The pain that you give, It gives me a home" and: "I can't think that it's all over Don't want to forget I can't live this disappointment down I want to repress your" |

| CocoRosie – Werewolf Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Perhaps 'wailing'? Wilein' is not in the English dictionary, but 'wiling' (cunning behaviour) is. Although, elsewhere I've seen the lyrics interpreted as, "Wielded darkness when he was violent, my eyes, my arms/ And I'm her child and he was the bastard that broke up the marriage", which would seem to make more sense in the context of the song. |

| Cat Power – Werewolf (Michael Hurley cover) Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I think this may be a more precise interpretation: Oh the werewolf, the werewolf Comes stepping along He don't even break the branches where he's gone Once I saw him in the moonlight when the bats were flying Saw the werewolf, and the werewolf was crying Cryin' nobody, no-o-body, nobody knows How I loved the man as I teared off his clothes Cryin' nobody, no-o, nobody knows my pain When I see that it's risen, that full moon again For the werewolf, the werewolf, have sympathy For the werewolf, somebody like you and me And old eagle told me, Man, this little flute I play All through the night, until the light of day What do you play? For the werewolf, for the werewolf, have sympathy For the werewolf, somebody like you and me |
