Walking, waiting
Alone without a care
Hoping, and hating
Things that I can't bear

Did you think it's cool to walk right up
To take my life and fuck it up
Well did you?
Well did you?

I see hell in your eyes
Taken in by surprise (surprise)
Touching you makes me feel alive
Touching you makes me die inside

Walking, waiting
Alone without a care
Hoping and hating
Things that I can't bear

Did you think it's cool to walk right up
To take my life and fuck it up
Well did you?

I hate you!

I see hell in your eyes
Taken in by surprise
And touching you makes me feel alive
Touching you makes me die inside

I've slept so long without you
It's tearing me apart too
How'd it get this far
Playing games with this old heart
I've killed a million petty souls
But I couldn't kill you

I've slept so long without you

I see hell in your eyes
(Touching you makes me die inside)
Taken in by surprise
(Touching you makes me die inside)
Touching you makes me feel alive
(Touching you makes me die inside)
(Touching you makes me die inside)
(Touching you makes me die inside)
I see hell in your eyes
(Touching you makes me die inside)
Taken in by surprise
(Touching you makes me die inside)
Touching you makes me feel alive
(Touching you makes me die inside)
Touching you makes me die inside
(Touching you makes me die inside)
I see hell in your eyes

    This song is the best on the Queen of the Damned Soundtrack. I love it..."I see hell in your eyes"... the best lyric in the song.

    I think its about a guy wanting to be with this girl so much, even though he hates her and feels likes she always plays games with his "old heart".

    No that was Stuart Townsend. The song is about a guy being a vampire and wanting this girl so bad but she isn't a vampire so he bits her and they get together.

    i want to know what makes you think this song is through the eyes of a vampire. yes, i know the song was in fact made for the soundtrack of a movie about vampires, but i really don't think it means this is first person narrative from the mouth of a vampire. moving on...

    of course it's about some being lusting over some other being, and of course, how cliche, one can't have the other. there's emotions on many levels; love and hate. i just think the whole notion of the song has been done before. i've been an orgy fan since the release of candyass, and i believe this is the worst song jay has ever done.

    it is from the mouth of the vampire, in the movie he's the rockstar, he writes these songs, it's about how he's feeling, and secrets of vampires. And you probably didn't like this Jay Gordon song cuz it's not a Jay Gordon song, Jonathan Davis wrote it, but he can't sing it due to his contract.

Jesse with the long hair....
Robert Earl Keen, Jr.
Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

Spirit Within
Bertoldi Brothers
Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
