This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Diabolic desire is burning so higher
Leading me to this place I may deserve this
The price I have to pay
For what I have done
Bloodstained is the glory of the days that are gone
The stories that are never told
So dread and cold
Tribulation for what I have done
Thousands of lost souls once innocent and pure
They are after me behind my back
Will death ever save me from this nightmare?
Until the moment my kingdom did fall in the
Illusion through my fear or my tears
Confession eternally sealed in my remorse
[Bridge:]
Scream for love, Scream for hate
Scream for life, Scream for death
[Chorus:]
Buried secret never touched
Insanity trapped in the curse
Hear the corpses cry!
Souls laid to rest
No place to hide
Next is my turn
Hear the corpses cry
[Guitar solo by Shinichi]
Souls that I've hunt haunt me
Now I've got no eyes to see
Murders justified by insanity
Souls never purified eternally
Diabolic desire is burning so higher
Leading me to this place
[Bridge:]
Scream for love, Scream for hate
Scream for life, Scream for death
I may deserve this
The price I have to pay
For what I have done
[Bridge:]
Scream for love, Scream for hate
Scream for life, Scream for death
[Chorus:]
Buried secret never touched
Insanity trapped in the curse
Head the corpses cry!
Souls to be laid to rest
No place to hide
Next is my turn
Hear the corpses cry!
If you think they're gone
Then I must say
Pestering Past is heard in the corpsecry
Laughter will be interrupted by the
Fear of their vengeance
Now I hear the corpses cry!

Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Somewhere Only We Know
Keane
Keane
Per the FAQ on Keane's website, Keane's drummer Richard Hughes, stated the following:
"We've been asked whether "Somewhere Only We Know" is about a specific place, and Tim has been saying that, for him, or us as individuals, it might be about a geographical space, or a feeling; it can mean something individual to each person, and they can interpret it to a memory of theirs... It's perhaps more of a theme rather than a specific message... Feelings that may be universal, without necessarily being totally specific to us, or a place, or a time..."
With the nostalgic sentiment and the overall tone of the song, I think Keane is attempting to express a Portuguese term known as 'saudade', which does not have a direct English translation but roughly means "that which we remember because it is gone."
Zombie
Cranberries, The
Cranberries, The
"Zombie" is about the ethno-political conflict in Ireland. This is obvious if you know anything of the singer (Dolores O'Riordan)'s Irish heritage and understood the "1916" Easter Rising reference.
"Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken
-
Another mother's breaking
Heart is taking over"
Laments the Warrington bomb attacks in which two children were fatally injured on March 23rd, 1993. Twelve year old Tim Parry was taken off life support with permission from his mother after five days in the hospital, virtually braindead.
"But you see it's not me
It's not my family"
References how people who are not directly involved with the violence feel about it. They are "zombies" without sympathy who refuse to take action while others suffer.
jess, so good....
