Tonight the sky will fade into a darker black
With the hint that you won’t be taking me back
I took a knife and slit you from ear to ear
In the silence you seem to scream so clear
You’re wounds may never fully heal
If I tear you’re heart out over and over again
I know you love the bloody kiss I leave you with
If you didn’t why would you always come back for more?
I know it’s not because you like to bleed from your

At times like these there’s no nicer words than
“I hate you”

A candle’s lit for each and every time I’ve lied
If it were up to me this house would just burn down
You’re screaming is just music to these swollen ears
Your tears are the poison that fills this empty cup
I’d surely drink it all down if I knew it would pleasure you
I’d rip my beating heart right out of this chest
If you said I wouldn’t end up like the rest
I don’t want to just be another worthless lover
Or a bloodied body on the cover of the morning news

At times like these there’s no nicer words than
“I hate you”

Your face down on the floor just wishing this could end
Tears flow from your swollen cheeks as you choke you’re reply
No words escape, but baby, you sure know how to cry
Bite you’re lip until it bleeds
Just so you don’t waste any more tears on someone who doesn’t care
You know deep inside that he cares
When he showed you his heart someone else was there
You wish you could have at least one more chance
At our loving but bloody romance

At times like these there’s no nicer words than
“I hate you”

You slowly scream into the telephone
Just to find out that I’m not home
You’ll leave a message on the other end
Saying “You hate me, I’m not you’re friend”
We lay back and think of then
And in a few more days it’s happening again
You slowly scream into the telephone
Just to find out that I’m not home
You’ll leave a message on the other end
Saying “You hate me, I’m not you’re friend”
We lay back and think of then
And in a few more days it’s happening again

At times like these there’s no nicer words than
“I hate you”

Tonight the sky may turn blood-red
If it does I hope you know I’m dead
If it doesn’t, well then I hope you know
I meant everything I said
Tonight the sky may turn blood-red
If it does I hope you know I’m dead
If it doesn’t, well then I hope you know
I meant everything I said

At times like these there’s no nicer words than
“I hate 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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Magical
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.
