The Band In Hell Lyrics
The band in hell
Plays all night long
It's a sold-out show
And there is only one song
There is no rhythm
And there is no rhyme
It goes on forever
Until the end of time
Now the devil, he plays guitar
And Hitler plays the drums
I'm the man on the microphone
This is what I've become
I'm sorry that
I'm sorry that I love you
I'm sorry I
I'm sorry that I am what I am
Another coal on the fire
Now there was once a man
Who walked the earth with no shoes
He went from town to town
Playing rhythm and blues
And there was love in every note that he played
And there was truth in every word that he sang
He offered those who believed his guarantee
But somehow he missed me
I'm sorry that
I'm sorry that I love you
I'm sorry I
I'm sorry that I am what I am
A damnation to you
I'm sorry
Plays all night long
It's a sold-out show
And there is only one song
There is no rhythm
And there is no rhyme
It goes on forever
Until the end of time
And Hitler plays the drums
I'm the man on the microphone
This is what I've become
I'm sorry that I love you
I'm sorry I
I'm sorry that I am what I am
Another coal on the fire
Who walked the earth with no shoes
He went from town to town
Playing rhythm and blues
And there was truth in every word that he sang
He offered those who believed his guarantee
But somehow he missed me
I'm sorry that I love you
I'm sorry I
I'm sorry that I am what I am
A damnation to you
I'm sorry

I get the feeling that this song doesn't have that simple of a message. Electric Six has never done songs endorsing any particular religion and I doubt that they would start with something like this. It seems like a song about a man in a downward spiral (crime related? maybe drugs, with some of their other songs) who is bringing down the woman that he loves. He realizes this, but can't stop what he's doing, hence the "I'm sorry that I am what I am".
This song talks about a romantic disappointment, it seems evident to me. The guy is completely in despair, like in a cursed orchestra whose music can only be horrible. He feels so bad that he even feels abandoned by the love of Jesus. He is alone with his romantic feelings that the other (not defined) doesn't share, and he ends up being sorry for loving this person (I'm sorry that I love you). This excellent song by E6 concludes with a cry of disappointment, "I'm Sorry," as if he had to bear the responsibility for the other's lack of interest. I find it beautiful.
it definately about missing out on salvation that was provided by Jesus Christ and having eternity to think about it.
what two words appear the most in this song?
"i'm sorry"
there you go.
