(Like many of Andrews songs this is again a sad LOVE SONG about his long lost love from years ago...) And she came to look for me Sold me name and innocence (Love found him he did not go looking for it... but it hurt HIM in the end) Took my key And told me to follow her Down from igor with her bangles and her reference (she swept his heart away) One from the church from the valley of the Well she wanted a haven and a place to hide (she was pure and innocent from a well off or middle class family with a solid religious background.. looking for a solid family to start... he was however not as pure or innocent as she was) So I gave her an alibi took her inside but (They started to share their own feelings and thoughts of themselves and life during this relationship. he was too honest with her) A rock and a hard place await for for me Between the devil and the deep blue sea (He was asked a difficult question like have you done PROSTITUTION. .. he was too honest here as he thought he needed to be when in LOVE. ...a parallel is drawn here between him and her... him the devil and she being clean like the deep blue sea. .. now they suddenly seem so far apart and different in their own thoughts and beliefs) Everything I ever did right or wrong Hid out of sight where I belong, belong (His confession was far too wrong for her to understand or accept..) And I didn't have the heart to tell her Why And there wasn't a part of me that Didn't want to say goodbye but (break up is hard. .. they broke up due to this passed action it became too of a big thing to actually deal with- A Rock in a Hard Place) Cause and effect go hand in hand (he admits to his wrongs but the effects are already done) The devil may care but I don't mind (this action was of the devils work - and the devil did win but he still did not care as he justified his actions already) and I Thought she'd never quite understand so I Left her there that night but will she Find me? I don't think so, no When you go, you go alone (He was hoping to mend this love relationship. .. but It was not to be she never returned... she was too pure and innocent for his past. . different and difficult life) And I'm gone............. far away [x4] (Far away - too far apart to mend) And I didn't have the heart to tell Why (His action was of lust... young lust of sex... he justified his actions... she was too pure to understand this type of man's action) And there wasn't a part of me that Didn't want to say goodbye but... (Andrew regrets his actions in this song... he lost this love) This song has taught us not to be too honest. ... expecially when you do not go looking for it in the first place... the devil will bring up the past and hurt you with your own truths when you least expecting it.. |

| The Sisters of Mercy – Possession Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
(This is the one... if not the most darkest song by Andrew Eldritch. Possession captures you in totality. It pulls you into a state of trance. It grips you tightly. You start belonging to this song.. one day) Carrion child, prey for me Play your wild card See the house come down around your head Home to me, so much dreaming Some say I'm growing cold and Taking over (Carrion refers to the dead and decaying flesh of an animal. Carrion is an important food source for large carnivores and omnivores in most ecosystems. The ecosystem here is death and the dead) Nothing, cuts, two ways Possession Taking over . (You are certainly going to die one day... how do you think of that is what Andrew Eldritch is asking you) (The grip takes hold of you.... the song has now captured you. You are reminded that it is a one way street... Nothing cuts two ways) Stand these pictures on your shelf And wear your heart upon my sleeve Wear a dress that you can see through See yourself inside (pictures are of past memories. ..heart upon my sleeve... is trust in me again (being captured preparing you) wearing a see through dress (not a woman's dress only. ..but what you wear in general) this relates to being transparent in this decision of being captured by death one day.) See yourself inside (start to believe and picture this) I'll be your imagination (death gives you an imagination of itself) Tear apart what you believe (release yourself from the world) Make a mess of your conviction Take away my pride and leave Nothing, but the debris (your friends & family are shocked and you leave confusion and a mess) (The song builds and enforces this capture) Possession Taking over Somehow the fact takes over And the fiction coming through (The song builds and enforces this capture) (Until) Possession Taking hold (We are all attracted to death one way or another. This is the one and final account of you. The GRIP in this song just makes us want to know about it more... We get lost in the Trance and imagination of it...) (Although dark... Andrews intention is to prepare you... make you really think about something like death. ... we all have to endure it one day any ways) |

| The Sisters of Mercy – No Time To Cry Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
This song is about the actual Emotional Strength everyone has inside of themselves.. Andrew is quite a powerful singer. And carries his emotions over to you the one listing in a powerful voice. You translate your own emotions through this and his music... The emphasis is on the"But it's" just before the chorus. .. [Chorus:] (no no no) No time for heartache (no no no) No time to run and hide (no no no) No time for breaking down (no no no) No time to cry This enforces you to think about suckling it all up and then to move forward. Andrew places a positive message of trust into your own emotions to then believe that... Everything will be alright Everything will turn out fine Some nights I still can't sleep And the voices pass with time And I keep Here he provides you with the answer to your problems .. he provides you faith on how to pull it all together. Just like he would have sorted it out for himself emotionally. It's just a feeling I get sometimes A feeling Sometimes He too gets emotional. .. he too has that feeling one gets when his emotions speak out... sometimes! Andrew Eldritch is like Chuck Norris because Chuck Norris can never be like Andrew Eldritch! |
