and it sounds like...armageddon
sounds like...armageddon
sounds like...come & drink with me

come & drink with me

and I remember him fucking me.
and I remember liking it
I didn't know any better,

and I remember the smell, and the pain, & the shame
and I remember being afraid and thinking everyday-
every single day that it was my fault...

oh but what happened to that little girl,
who used to dream of one day ruling the world,
who used to draw pretty pictures,

in my room-beneath the moon
destroying to create
softly praying to god,

what do I do now?
what do I do now?

as I secretly masturbate...
but then I'd hear his hooves coming down the floor
with a bible in his hand...

softly opening my door and he'd say...

DAUGHTER! the day of your attonement is due!
well there's 3 million sinners out there...
and that includes YOU!

no daddy don't! (2x)
LEAVE ME ALONE! (3x)
NO I DON'T WANT TO BE FREE! (2x)
SO TAKE YOUR DICK OUT OF ME!
PLEASE TAKE YOUR DICK OUT OF ME! (3x)

I'm bleeding, it's not fair
you see there's this little place I like to go,

I like to run and hide---deep inside,
where all the nightmares are real,and all the monsters come alive,

oh, but the things I've seen in soft, soft visions and terrifying prophecies,
like serpents on the take & gods coming in all sizes & shapes
nothing seems fulfilling anymore

well your temples are swollen in deceit & the body of your missionary

he's rotting...
rotting in defeat mama?

MAMA!
are the aliens coming to take us away? [mama?]
is armageddon gonna happen again today?

LOOK WHAT HE DID TO ME!! WHY DID YOU DO IT TO ME?
HOW COULD YOU DO IT TO ME!! WHY DID YOU DO IT TO ME?

I WILL NOT CRY -- I WILL NOT CRY
I PREFER DIE!!! than live---this life--of LIES!!!

KILL WHAT U CAN ---- CHALLENGE EVERYTHING
vengeance is mine.

hey... I'm sorry... baby...
please come back inside... we can laugh a little...
And live and die
no wait. see, eye got this hot pot of jonestown tea &
its been brewing for you & me
oh, it only takes one sip

come on baby
surrender your lips
I can take you someplace nice

I can take you... someplace NICE.

breed my disease be my disease and vengeance will be mine
its closer than you think...

so I entered his room at 32 past noon
with my little ritual knife...
I cut out his tounge
liberated his wife
she loved me for it other world woman,

well, thats what she called me [destroyer] the one who sets you free
[come & drink with me]

we all die like cartoons, surrender your children,
kids who like to kill, lies...

    Sidenote for you all: The title "Jonestown Tea" refers to this cult run by a guy named Rev. Jim Jones a while back. He and 900 of his followers went to Jonestown, (?somewhere?) and performed a mass suicide in a small house in the woods by drinking Kool-Aid laced with cyanide (thats your "Jonestown Tea" people) . The thing with that is some people who were formerly involved with the CIA confessed to this being an experiment the government was doing about the power of mind control and munipulation of the masses (which is somewhat expressed throughout the song).But it was never investigated by the government and no reports of this being a CIA Op. have ever been officially released to the public. But yeah, I read somewhere that Otep said this song was about her childhood and man, this song is so incredibly emotional. It makes me feel sick inside everytime I listen to it. Otep = most intelligent emotional metal band in existence. Shadow soldiers, keep on fighting.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
