In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
I've seen the place where they meet, I know where it lies
Where ancient demons gather, where angels die...
The darkest pits of the abyss, where flames burns bright
Where satan reigns in terror, there's eternal night
I invoke the elder to lead me, into that place
Drain myself from blood, and drown in sulphur grace
I read the signs and blackened the earth with the magic of mine
I saw the gates of hell open wide...
In the depths I arise in fury, I'm led through hell
We perform unspeakable deeds, we're the ones who fell
In my hands the blades of death, I wil take your life
Then slit your throat, with lucifer's knife
I'm crowned with fire, await my final turn
Perish in flames, burn... burn... burn!
A land of darkness, I saw it in a dream
A desolate landscape, where evil reigns supreme
Give to us your life, I lead you to that place
Of non existing light, beoynd time and space
I'll take you to the place where they meet, show you where it lies
Where satan's soldiers gather, where christians die
Deep in my subconsious, my enemies fall prey
The twisted and the wicked, serve me and obey
I read the signs and blackened the earth with the magic of mine
I saw the gates of hell open wide...
Where ancient demons gather, where angels die...
The darkest pits of the abyss, where flames burns bright
Where satan reigns in terror, there's eternal night
I invoke the elder to lead me, into that place
Drain myself from blood, and drown in sulphur grace
I read the signs and blackened the earth with the magic of mine
I saw the gates of hell open wide...
In the depths I arise in fury, I'm led through hell
We perform unspeakable deeds, we're the ones who fell
In my hands the blades of death, I wil take your life
Then slit your throat, with lucifer's knife
I'm crowned with fire, await my final turn
Perish in flames, burn... burn... burn!
A land of darkness, I saw it in a dream
A desolate landscape, where evil reigns supreme
Give to us your life, I lead you to that place
Of non existing light, beoynd time and space
I'll take you to the place where they meet, show you where it lies
Where satan's soldiers gather, where christians die
Deep in my subconsious, my enemies fall prey
The twisted and the wicked, serve me and obey
I read the signs and blackened the earth with the magic of mine
I saw the gates of hell open wide...

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”

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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/
damn I love these lyrics...
It's about hell, saying he has been there, "I saw the gates of hell open wide", "I lead you to that place" where he leads someone else there
really cool lyrics and great guitars! And I am aware of the spelling mistakes. Sorry!
hail, Toxik.
More like his entry into Hell, I'd say...
"Drain myself from blood, and drown in sulfur grace" Suicide as an entry into Hell, it seems.
Awesome guitars indeed, but the lyrics are kinda cheesy. I mean... "Where Satan's soldiers gather, where christians die" Hahaha, can't get much cheesier, but it's funny.
"Hahaha, can't get much cheesier, but it's funny." <br /> <br /> <br /> Well... Theres everything by Amon amarth. and then Unleashed. "Hammer Battallion Unleashed".<br /> <br /> Love this damned song.
