The hunger inside given to me,
Makes me what I am.
Always it is calling me,
For the blood of man.

They say I cannot be this,
I am jaded.
Hiding from the day,
I can't bare it,
Cannot tame the hunger in me

Oh, I say I did it,
Always searching,
You can't fuck with me.
So instead you'll taste my pain.

The hunger inside given to me,
Makes me feel alive.
Always out stalking prey,
In the dark I hide.
Feeling, falling, hating,
Feel like I am fading, hating life.

They say I cannot be this,
I am jaded.
Hiding from the day.
I can't bare it,
I cannot tame the hunger in me

Oh, I say I did it
Always searching,
You can't fuck with fate.
So instead you'll taste my pain.

You say your life I'm taking,
Always bothering me.
I can't take this anymore,
I'm failing, always smothering me

You look down on me,
Hey what you see,
Take this gift from me.
You will soon be me.

Nothing seems exciting,
Always the same hiding

It's haunting me.
It's haunting me.
It's haunting me.
It's haunting me.

It's haunting me

    This song is undoubtedly about vampirism. First of all its on the QoTD soundtrack (Jon Davis is a genius) all the parts relate to a vampire (from Anne Rice's awsome seriese) hiding from the day, in the dark i hide...you get the point. close to the end of the song its referring to giving the dark gift to someone else, then they dispise you for it because you stole their (natural) life away. the very end is Lestat becoming bored with the same life of hiding and the way of life haunts him. well the songis mostly self explanitory, but maybe if someone didnt get it i helped them P.S. i would do anything to become a vampire P.P.S. Khayman rules (his part in the movie was too small and the actor playing him was too old and ugly)

    The "true" vampires? Anyway, could you/someone explain this word thing more thoroughly? From where does the word originally come? I have read somewhere about the first notice of the word in a russian text. Then the word was "upir". I know that the word is spelled with an "y" in for example the swedish alphabet, but in the english I have always written "Vampire"...

    THIS SONG WAS NEVER WRITTEN BY MANSON, this song was orignally written by Jon Davis and another person who produced most of the music for the MOVIE. However Jon Davis and Korn couldnt do the soundtrack due to label issues so they had other bands do the songs for the CD.

    This CD is one of the best soundtracks ever. Manson fit perfect into the song. Wathc the bonus features on the QotD DVD for more information about the Lestat songs.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
