Lying face down, lying face down
In the gutter now, so damn proud
Well, I know, I know, I know
It's my fault, it's my fault

Lying face down, lying face down
In the gutter now, so damn proud
Well, I know, I know, I know
It's my fault, it's my fault

In a world where we all just waste away and suffer
(We just waste away)
In a place you cry for today
(We're all going mad)

Believe, believe, believe in me
(I will follow)
Believe, believe, believe in me
(I will follow)

Lying face down, lying face down
In the underground, so damn proud
Well, I know, I know, I know
It's my fault, it's my fault

In a world where we all just waste away and suffer
(We just waste away)
In a place you cry for today
(We've all been brainwashed)

Believe, believe, believe in me
(I will follow)
Believe, believe, believe in me
(I will follow)

Believe, believe, believe in me
(I will follow)
Believe, believe, believe in me
(I will follow)

Love, silence and fade away
(Darkness, darkness and decay)
Scarlet kiss and what to say
(Darkness, darkness and decay)

Love, silence and fade away
(Darkness, darkness and decay)
Scarlet kiss and what to say
(Darkness, darkness and decay)

Believe, believe, believe in me
Believe, believe, believe in me

Believe, believe, believe in me
(I will follow)
Believe, believe, believe in me
(I will follow)

Believe, believe, believe in me
(I will follow)
Believe, believe, believe in me

    For me It's about someone who has tried living on there own, relying on themselves and shunning any help from friends, and he ends up in the gutter, helpless and pleeing for help. That person says "believe believe believe in me" he says "I will follow". I'm a Christian so I saw it as God helping me when I was in the gutter... But that's just how this song hit my heart, It's different for everyone. :)

    xedajx you're so right. when people have other people believing in them. It really will give you the motivation to keep living your life and trying to make it worthwhile. I went down the road of suicide. I thought everything was hopeless but my 2 best friends showed me I can be someone new and change my past. And now im doing better than ever. Help someone else you know by believing in them. It could save their life. =]

    ok this song is totally different to any other songs and since most of the people that listen to aiden say "AIDEN YOU GUYS SAVED MY LIFE" and since they say"Music Is My Life" then wiL wanted to let to know the people that they can do anything they want that nobody can stop them that they are free that he BELIEVES. instead of just telling people why not put in a different perspective and since music is mostly listened to that talking might as well make a song about it. in my theory, of course

    Well thats wot its about at the end of the day. We all come on here and give our opinion about wot songs mean, but all that really matters is wot it means to you, and how it affects you personally.

    I think it's about trusting the wrong person...from the point of view of the person who was trusted "It's my fault", with some response from the truster....("Believe Believe Believe in me" "I will follow")

    and more, I think it's kind of.... the person who was trusted lead the truster into a place of despair, and into a place of just ....bad...."In the gutter now, so damn proud...In the underground now, so damn proud" and maybe the truster is trying to show the person that they can do something on their own....that they don't need them....

    and then "Love silence and fade away Darkness darkness and decay A scarlet kiss and what to say Darkness darkness and decay" is kind of like- it doesn't matter. nothing does.

    It also reminds me of Robert Downey Jrs. Character Julian in Less Than Zero. He always had hope then everything crashed on him

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
