I rode a western wind with a girl over to her mother's
In the backyard stars shone brighter than the others
That I rarely see through the smog through the haze that covers
The home that I used to live in
Well I kind of sort of knew what was going to happen
When she put her number down on a restaurant napkin
She said goodbye I think the words were when you're back in
Town let's have each other again I'll come around and see you again

Like Jessica Rabbit she collects bad habits gets her drinks for free
Animated vixen stole Cupid's arrow and came to rescue me
In the blink of an eyelid my lid opened up and I could see
That she'd come to rescue me

I tasted southern sin with a girl who was just perfection
Had a two room condo back in a wealthy section
Of the Florida flatlands where she had me kept in
A wicked trance for a day
Well I kind of sort of knew what was going to happen
When she and a friend came and met me in Atlanta
I professed my love in an animalistic manner
Like an endless foreign flick my subtitles were sick

Like Jessica Rabbit she collects bad habits gets her drinks for free
Animated vixen stole Cupid's arrow and came to rescue me
In the blink of an eyelid my lid opened up and I could see
That she'd come to rescue me

Well I kind of sort of saw the sirens coming
She was running toward me wearing almost nothing
And my heart beat skipped when she bent down at the hip
And her lips pressed against mine

Like Jessica Rabbit she collects bad habits gets her drinks for free
Animated vixen stole Cupid's arrow and came to rescue me
In the blink of an eyelid my lid opened up and I could see
That she'd come to rescue me

Here she comes to rescue me
I'm not gonna blink cause I want to see
I want to see her come
Here she comes

    Professed my love in an animalistic manner = doggystyle sex... no ifs ands or buts thats what it means. Eve 6 is hornier than a victorian mother in a male strip club.

    This song says alot of things for me...I personally think it's about a guy who is on holiday somewhere and he meets this really top chick who he falls in love with - thing is, she is a bit of a flirt and most guys lust after her. But, she falls for him as well and is desperate to let him know what she feels for him as opposed to her normal flirting with other guys. "I rode a western wind with a girl over to her mother's In the backyard stars shone brighter than the others That I rarely see through the smog through the haze that covers the home that I used to live in" ~It's him back home high school with a girl that he liked, but no as much as her, and he thought he knew what love was then "Well I kind of sort of knew what was going to happen When she put her number down on a restaurant napkin She said goodbye I think the words were when you're back in Town let's have each other again I'll come around and see you again" ~He's gone away on holiday and met this incredible chick, and she gives him her number cos she wants to see him again "Like Jessica Rabbit she collects bad habits gets her drinks for free Animated vixen stole Cupid's arrow and came to rescue me" ~Jessica Rabbit is a sexy, flirty character and it's this characteristic in this girl that he is so drawn too, and that's why he is falling for her "In the blink of an eyelid my lid opened up and I could see that she'd come to rescue me" ~But he feels there's a stronger force that's brought her to him "I tasted southern sin with a girl who was just perfection Had a two room condo back in a wealthy section Of the Florida flatlands where she had me kept in A wicked trance for a day" ~He spends some time with this girl outside her usual scene, and he's finding the time he spends with her to be bliss "Well I kind of sort of knew what was going to happen When she and a friend came and met me in Atlanta" ~She's gone out of her way to come and see him "I professed my love in an animalistic manner Like an endless foreign flick my subtitles were sick" ~It may not hav been the most romantic way to do it (whether he was drunk at the time etc) but he told that he was in love with her, and doesn't regret it "Well I kind of sort of saw the sirens coming" ~This sounds like a suicide reference, or maybe he was in an accident of some kind? "She was running toward me wearing almost nothing And my heart beat skipped when she bent down at the hip and her lips pressed against mine" ~She's come running out from sleeping or something (wearing her PJ's or something similar) and she's bent down and kissed him and let him feel her love for him in such an important time "Here she comes to rescue me I'm not gonna blink cause I wanna see I wanna see her come, here she comes" ~Self explanitory really

    Sounds like a guy's list of all his 'conquests', which are described in the verses. But he seems to go for one type of girl everytime, whom he describes in the chorus. Sounds like a bit of a man-whore to me...

    I agree with sunshine as to the pretext of the song (coming back from college with a girlfriend), but I think she actually dumped him once they got there, and he was miserably eating alone when she put her number down on a napkin. Basically, he just needed a casual-sex bounce-back relationship to get over her. Thus, the Jessica Rabit sex character "rescued" him from the depression of getting dumped.

    For some reason the beginning of this song reminds me of the beginning of 'Superbeast' by Rob Zombie.

    the guy meets some hot, flirty chick somewhere and they hit it off. he has to go back to where he came from, and she leaves him with her number so they can have another fling if he comes back into town, then she actually goes out of her way to come see him. a one night stand turns into something a lot more. it reminds me of when i was first hanging out with the guy i've been dating for 3 years now. we were friends before we got together, and one day he was listening to music on headphones while we were at a friend's house and he let me listen to this song, he thought the "I professed my love in an animalistic manner Like an endless foreign flick my subtitles were sick" line was really cool. i hadn't heard this song before, (or most of horrorscope) but i instantly recognized it as eve 6 and we started talking about how much we both love the band. heh, i think that's when i realized i loved him.

The Last Dance
Within Temptation
@Kahiara Actually I think the husband passed away, "She sang for you last night She heard you were calling" Many people say they have felt, heard, or seen their loved ones after they have passed. "Don't be scared now Close your eyes She holds guard tonight Go on forward no remorse Life will take it's course" This is said to the late husband by a third part (never named), who encourages him to pass on. Because life will eventually continue. The phrase "holds guard" refers to the ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… ) which is a Christian ceremony held after someone dies. Now it is usually held right after the funeral, but in most celtiic countries the wake is held before the funeral. "She danced with you last night so you will remember All you have shared, a lifetime." This sentence feels as if the only thing it wants to convey is their history together, namely, husband and wife. For the rest it just refers back to the first verse.

Alma Matters
Morrissey
The man has pseudo-friends who constantly criticize his actions. They moralize him, "teach" him and advise him to make a significant change in his life, because the way he is and what he does is not what they say it should be. They may find his life lame or immoral. They hold themselves up as role models. The man replies that he will make his own choices and decisions and he does not agree to unconditionally make himself under the influence of questionable quality advice. He justifies this by saying that there is always someone for whom he will be important, no matter what he does and no matter what he is. Although it is not said directly, I read it as meaning that he will always be important to himself in every way and he will always have his own support. "Everyone is different and maybe that's a good thing, but you exceeded that mark 1000 times" - I remember very well how sad the words I once heard (from my peers and it was in negative context) at school made me feel.

Mad Hatter
Avenged Sevenfold
Matt Shadows their lead singer says the song was written as per request from the developers of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Watching the initial trailers for the game & looking at production sketches reminded him of the 'S-Town' podcast & its main protagonist, John B. McLemore. Matt also comments specifically on the lyrics: "I decided that the lyrics would shadow McLemore's life." In 2012, antiquarian horologist John B. McLemore sent an email to the staff of the show 'This American Life' asking them to investigate an alleged murder in his hometown of Woodstock, Alabama, a place McLemore claimed to despise. After a year of exchanging emails & several months of conversation with McLemore, producer Brian Reed traveled to Woodstock to investigate. Reed investigated the crime & eventually found that no such murder took place, though he struck up a friendship with the depressed but colorful character of McLemore. He recorded conversations with McLemore & other people in Woodstock. McLemore killed himself by drinking potassium cyanide on June 22, 2015 while the podcast was still in production. In the narrative of the podcast, this occurs at the end of the second episode; subsequent episodes deal with the fallout from McLemore's death while exploring more of McLemore's life & character.
