Can't Hold Back

Amber Pacific

I've come to accept, the fact from my head,
I'm lost and alone, in this life that I've led,
I'll figure this out, it's summer's away,
A choice that may leave me, with no room to say,

If it happens, it happens, and I'll feel the same,
Can't hold back on the choices I made,
If it happens, it happens, and I'll be the same,
Can't hold back on the choices I made that day,

I've come to accept, the things that I see,
I've read every word, every line, every thing,
Just say what you will, just tell me I'm scared,
I won't let you down, for the moment I'm here,

If it happens, it happens, and I'll feel the same,
Can't hold back on the choices I made,
If it happens, it happens, and I'll be the same,
Can't hold back on the choices I made that day,

If it happens, it happens, and I'll feel the same,
Can't hold back on the choices I made,
If it happens, it happens, and I'll be the same,
Can't hold back on the choices I made,

If it happens, it happens, and I'll feel the same,
Can't hold back on the choices I made,
If it happens, it happens, and I'll be the same,
Can't hold back on the choices I made that day,

    Ah, it didn't finish. I meant to say, I love it so much! It's about how you shouldn't regret anything because leaning on what you did in the past won't get you anywhere

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

Corpse I Fell In Love With
Gadjits, The
He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

The Spy
Doors, The
Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
