to all the fallen...
your goals will never be achieved
in light of what has happened...
filthy vermin invading every right to believe
your lavish order is now disorder...
in my dreams, or sick fantasies
bodied bags, toes tagged
in delight of a nation growing sicker
a cheap imitation of life takes over
thriving forward, absorbing yours and making it mine
slowly forcing souls to my side
a god among the waste...you pray to get the story straight
a god among the waste, we should never have to live this way
a god among the waste
a highness to destroy this state.
to all forgotten...your strategy is received
but its not as you expected
you can't match my hatred
evading every issue unseen
no common knowledge or fortitude inbetween

    This song seems to be about a person coming to grips with the harsh realities that we are all slowly waking up to.. call it the NEW WORLD ORDER, the FALLEN ONES.. whatever... this person sees whats been going on and is making it clear "your goals will never be achieved, in light of what has happened..." what has happened is, the steady take over and break down of our society by the evil, rich, elite or "fallen". This person is getting visions, dreams of the "endgame" scenarios of mass deaths of the increasingly brainwashed and complacent society. Sickened by the "cheap imitation of life" being sold to us, taking over the world. Then, possibly speaking from the NWO perspective: "thriving forward, absorbing yours and making it mine,slowly forcing souls to my side" The person sees these people trying to become "god, among the waste" but hopes the story is correct, and not just crazy talk "you pray to get the story straight" Then this person seems to address those who have come before who tried to fight this battle and wake poeple up "to all forgotten...your strategy is received" but he wants to take it to the next level because "you can't match my hatred evading every issue unseenno common knowledge or fortitude inbetween"

    I hope we all have the strength to find the truth and peacefully revolt against this tyranny. Thank You WOLRD UNDER BLOOD!!!! myspace.com/theveilbetween

    Song Meaning

    "A fan favorite, this was one of the first songs we wrote. I remember doing the vocals with Logan Mader engineering and I had the lyrics, but no vocal pattern or melody ideas. We pressed 'record' and that's what happened. I wanted it to start the record off because it just kicks in with the fastest blast on the whole cd and the song ends very mellow. there's a lot of dynamics. the bridge riff reminds me a lot of DEATH''s Spiritual Healing. Lyrically its pretty much about finding a legitimate political leader, and finally cleaning up the U.S. When will we finally be desensitized as a nation to political correctness and just do what needs to be done?" - Deron Miller

    Song Meaning

    "Probably my favorite song off of the album. I think it's one of the most perfect songs I've ever written. Child abuse makes me fucking sick and this song pretty much gives my unrestrained opinion. A lot of people enjoy claiming that metal is the most evil form of music, but actually it's the only genre that artists tend to explore serious subject matter, and try to take a stance against things they believe are not right. The opening riff is one of the hardest riffs to play on guitar, and I shot myself in the foot when I wrote it because no matter how much I practice it, it doesn't get any easier. Out of 20 years of songwriting this song is in my top 5. Killer drumming and awesome solos." - Deron Miller

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
