High life
Again the burden of losing rest
Upon my shoulders
And its weight seems unbearable
Your tomb is where your heart is,
I should have told her
But within Me a secret so terrible
To cry is to know that you're alive
But my river of tears has run dry
I never wanted to fool you, no
But a cold heart is a dead heart
And it feels like I've been buried alive by love
If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile
If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile
The kiss of vanity you blessed me with a spiritual murder
Fed the gods of war
Your home is there in the darkness, I should have told her
Embrace the fire indestructible
To die is to know that you're alive
And my river of blood won't run dry
I never wanted to lose you, no
But a cold heart is a dead heart
And it feels like I've been buried alive by love
If I should die before I wake
Bring no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile
If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile
Oh, it seems to cry is to know that you're alive
And my river of tears has run dry
I never wanted to fool you, no
But a cold heart is a dead heart
And a desert soul is gone
A cold heart is a dead heart
And it feels like I've been buried alive by love
If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile,
If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile
I've been buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love
Buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love
Upon my shoulders
And its weight seems unbearable
Your tomb is where your heart is,
I should have told her
But within Me a secret so terrible
To cry is to know that you're alive
But my river of tears has run dry
I never wanted to fool you, no
But a cold heart is a dead heart
And it feels like I've been buried alive by love
If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile
If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile
The kiss of vanity you blessed me with a spiritual murder
Fed the gods of war
Your home is there in the darkness, I should have told her
Embrace the fire indestructible
To die is to know that you're alive
And my river of blood won't run dry
I never wanted to lose you, no
But a cold heart is a dead heart
And it feels like I've been buried alive by love
If I should die before I wake
Bring no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile
If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile
Oh, it seems to cry is to know that you're alive
And my river of tears has run dry
I never wanted to fool you, no
But a cold heart is a dead heart
And a desert soul is gone
A cold heart is a dead heart
And it feels like I've been buried alive by love
If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile,
If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile
I've been buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love
Buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love

Life in Your Way
Fortnight
Taylor Swift
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.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
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"
Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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.
Wow someone needs their nappy changed. HIM's music is very drippy and lovey....but it isn't like they try to hide that fact.
That's one of the things that's so great about them - their lead singer is a guy who isn't afraid to be sensitivity or discuss emotions and romance. Stop trying to be so fucking macho.
Valo has a brilliant voice, and yes, correct, he is very good looking. He IS the band. I'd challenge most people to name another member.
Regardless, I like HIM a lot, although I don't have any of their albums, and this song is very very catchy.
if arent into the music then fuck off on the HIM lyrics pages
p.s i like HIM and im a guy - im straight correct me if im wrong but in order to be gay,quiffporn,you have to be attracted to the same sex - im not and im sure other male HIM fans arnt too. i think thats being romantic not gay so there you got.... BURNED!!!
As far as quiff goes at the expense of sounding cliche opinions are like assholes, everyone has one. Therefore, people like quiff who come on these boards and bash the bands are just to be ignored because they are just asking for attention. The best thing to do as aforemetioned is to ignore the person. That is what makes our country so great. We can have beliefs that don't agree with everyone else, and not get killed for it. So that is about it. And by the way I am a 20 year old male who listens to HIM just to disprove the stereotype earlier. Oh and this song is great :)
lol Ok, so does anybody know what the paradox in the song means? "To die is to know that you're alive."
It seems that some people like to get their adrenaline from spending way too much time online insulting other peoples music taste. Yet they have the nerve to be upset when someone disagrees with their views. I love HIM so much. Yet, that character "quiffporn", decided to push everyones buttons. And he had the nerve to talk back when someone else disagreed with his opinions. he even insulted his sisters taste in music. All those 14 yr old grls? did that include his sister as well? how respectable is that? I dont give a damn if he likes it or hate it, I like it and thats all that matters. Im just replying because everyones buttons got pushed because they let their buttons get pushed. Seriosly. its just an opinion. and everyone is egging quiffporn on. he loves to respond, im sure its because he's bored. He has nothing betterto do than to be online responing negativly and twisting others words around so he gets the right of way. Why else would he reply so constantly to EVERY comment posted? He wanted attention. He's definately insecure. im sure he's probably stopped posting his asinine comments. Its been years. and even if he has not, it doesnt matter because everyone is entitled to their opinion. And though I disagree with his opinion, It doesnt mean Im gonna cut on him like some of the other people here did. im not trying to make myself to be a know it all, Im really not. I just think no one should respond to "quiffporns" comments. thats the only way to really show him that NO ONE ON THIS POST CARES IF HE DISLIKES_HIM. As long as we all like HIM in the end ♥
How is it that no one has commented on this song....in my opinion its the best SONG i have ever heard from HIM...its so deep and so true...i think that he's trying to not let go of some one who is trying to let go of him....or probabaly that he really loved some one and they didnt love him the same way...and he says "rescue me with your smile" like when i wake up i want and need you to be with me.
It doesn't matter what HIM song you post comments about coz they're all about the same thing-love and drippy shit! I love him but sometimes it does get a bit boring!
Ive gotta say I know what you mean, about HIM's marketing talents, but regardless of the fact the singer is flaunting his snazzy looks I still think they're a really good band. Back on track this is a really good song. Good on em.
