Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
All the dams will give at the end,
At the end, at the end of the world.
Will you swim for me?
And the lights could go at any time,
Any time, any time, any time.
How will you look for me?
Catastrophe keeps us together.
We're the architects of the world.
We're taking it all apart.
And the bridges will burn at the end,
At the end, at the end of the world.
How will we cross the seas?
And the plans have got to hold--a destination
That you and I can rely on for sure.
I want you to find me.
Catastrophe keeps us together.
We're the architects of the world.
We're taking it all apart.
Do you think we could go on forever
When the architects of the war
Are handing out the swords?
But I've got a plan.
I'm gonna find you
At the end
Of the world,
At the end
Of the world.
All the dams will give at the end
At the end, at the end of the world.
So will you swim for me?
And our eyes could go at any time,
Any time, any time, any time.
So how will you look for, how will you look,
How will you look for me?
Catastrophe keeps us together.
We're the architects of the world,
And we're taking it all apart.
Do you think we can go on forever
When the architects of the war
Are handing out the swords?
Well I've got a plan.
I'm gonna find you,
I'm gonna find you
At the end of the world,
At the end of the world,
At the end of the world
I've got a plan.
I'm gonna find you.
I'm gonna find you
At the end.
At the end, at the end of the world.
Will you swim for me?
And the lights could go at any time,
Any time, any time, any time.
How will you look for me?
Catastrophe keeps us together.
We're the architects of the world.
We're taking it all apart.
And the bridges will burn at the end,
At the end, at the end of the world.
How will we cross the seas?
And the plans have got to hold--a destination
That you and I can rely on for sure.
I want you to find me.
Catastrophe keeps us together.
We're the architects of the world.
We're taking it all apart.
Do you think we could go on forever
When the architects of the war
Are handing out the swords?
But I've got a plan.
I'm gonna find you
At the end
Of the world,
At the end
Of the world.
All the dams will give at the end
At the end, at the end of the world.
So will you swim for me?
And our eyes could go at any time,
Any time, any time, any time.
So how will you look for, how will you look,
How will you look for me?
Catastrophe keeps us together.
We're the architects of the world,
And we're taking it all apart.
Do you think we can go on forever
When the architects of the war
Are handing out the swords?
Well I've got a plan.
I'm gonna find you,
I'm gonna find you
At the end of the world,
At the end of the world,
At the end of the world
I've got a plan.
I'm gonna find you.
I'm gonna find you
At the end.

Corpse I Fell In Love With

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.
Battle Royale
Word Alive, The
Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.
Light Up The Sky

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.
Holiday

@[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.
I loveee this song. I just got the new album, it's amazing! Rainer Maria love.
