| Pat Benatar – Shadows Of The Night Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
"Shadows of The Night" is a huge rock/pop hit by Pat Benatar in 1982. http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=26671 “This song was originally written by D.L. Byron, a pop-rock singer. Later on, he gave the song to Pat Benatar. And Myron Grombacher and Pat Benatar added some lyrics. The song was a great fit for Benatar, with lyrics using bold imagery to assuage [soothe, relieve] a lover. Like "Hit Me With Your Best Shot," it was a song written by a man that Benatar had to reverse gender. Her powerful voice and strong persona helped pull it off, as lines like "baby take my hand, it'll be all right" are more typically delivered by the guy trying to comfort his damsel.” Hey, this song seems to be about - a male lover soothing & wooing his female lover; and his chosen [negative] world view. We're running with the shadows of the night [male to female - evil world/people] So baby take my hand, you'll be all right Surrender all your dreams to me tonight They'll come true in the end [male to female - trust me babe, everything will be okay] You said, "Oh girl, it's a cold world When you keep it all to yourself" [female to male - restating his lamenting/moaning] I said, "You can't hide on the inside All the pain you've ever felt" [female to male - giving advice to ‘open up’] Ransom my heart, but baby don't look back [male to female - buy my heart with your love or ... liberate/rescue me from my ‘strong silent type’ personality; 'don‘t look back' - got to move on with our new life] 'Cause we got nobody else [male to female - you and me against the world] [Chorus] We're running with the shadows of the night So baby take my hand, it'll be all right Surrender all your dreams to me tonight They'll come true in the end You know that sometimes, it feels like It's all moving way too fast [male to female - stress; rat race;] Use every alibi and words you deny That love ain't meant to last [try to fool yourself by saying love isn’t important] You can cry tough baby, it's all right [male to female - ‘tough baby’ (affectionate name) You can let me down easy, but not tonight [male to female - you can say goodbye; hopefully not tonight] [Chorus: x2] And now the hands of time are standin' still [male to female - he had asked her to come away with him; Waiting on her answer] Midnight angel, won't you say you will [male to female - term of affection; requesting her to join him] [Chorus: x3] |

| Scandal (US) – The Warrior Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
"The Warrior" is a cool song. (You guys can figure this stuff out. Just watch the video scenes... ...read the lyrics carefully...'voila' you understand it.) The song is about a tempestuous (rocky) love affair. Patty is the 'Warrior' -- she'll fight for the man she loves....... though he likes to play the field...is angry...abusive...arrogant... and selfish. In the open seen of the video we see Patty Smythe getting "cut" by her lover . "Feeding on your hungry eyes..." (he likes to play the field; arrogant, lusty, unfaithful). "And follow me stereo jungle child" (Maybe.... follow my lead....... "stereo jungle child"..... you duplicitous [duplicity- deceitfulness in speech or conduct; speaking or acting in Two [stereo...] different ways to different people concerning the same matter; double-dealing...].... and "jungle" is wild......."child" is. childish fool. He's foolish for valuing short-term, unfulfilling lust -- for Long-term, Very Fulfilling love.] She's saying he can ultimately "Win" if he receives/accepts her love for him -- rather than his [poo-poo but] lusty liasons. |
