Before the story begins, is it such a sin
For me to take what's mine, until the end of time?
We were more than friends, before the story ends
And I will take what's mine, create what God would never design

Our love had been so strong for far too long
I was weak with fear that somethin' would go wrong
Before the possibilities came true
I took all possibility from you

Almost laughed myself to tears
Conjuring her deepest fears (come here you fucking bitch)

Must have stabbed her fifty fucking times
I can't believe it
Ripped her heart out right before her eyes
Eyes over easy, eat it, eat it, eat it

She was never this good in bed, even when she was sleepin'
Now she's just so perfect I've never been quite so fucking deep in
It goes on and on and on
I can keep you lookin' young and preserved forever
With a fountain to spray on your youth whenever

'Cause I really always knew that my little crime
Would be cold, that's why I got a heater for your thighs
And I know, I know it's not your time
But bye, bye
And a word to the wise, when the fire dies
You think it's over but it's just begun
Baby, don't cry
You had my heart, at least for the most part
'Cause everybody's gotta die sometime
We fell apart, let's make a new start
'Cause everybody's gotta die sometime, yeah, yeah
But baby, don't cry

Now possibilities I'd never considered
Are occurring the likes of which I'd never heard
Now an angry soul comes back from beyond the grave
To repossess a body with which I'd misbehaved

Smiling right from ear to ear
Almost laughed herself to tears

Must have stabbed him fifty fucking times
I can't believe it
Ripped his heart out right before his eyes
Eyes over easy, eat it, eat it, eat it (eat the shit out of it)

Now that it's done, I realize the error of my ways
I must venture back to apologize from somewhere far beyond the grave
I gotta make up for what I've done
'Cause I was all up in a piece of heaven
While you burned in hell, no peace forever

'Cause I really always knew that my little crime
Would be cold, that's why I got a heater for your thighs
And I know, I know it's not your time
But bye, bye
And a word to the wise, when the fire dies
You think it's over but it's just begun
But baby, don't cry
You had my heart, at least for the most part
'Cause everybody's gotta die sometime
We fell apart, let's make a new start
'Cause everybody's gotta die sometime, yeah, yeah
But baby, don't cry

I will suffer for so long (what will you do, not long enough)
To make it up to you (I pray to God that you do)
I'll do whatever you want me to do (well, then, I'll grant you one chance)
And if it's not enough (if it's not enough, if it's not enough)
If it's not enough (not enough)
Try again (try again)
And again (and again)
Over and over again

We're coming back, coming back
We'll live forever, live forever
Let's have wedding, have a wedding
Let's start the killing, start the killing

Do you take this man in death for the rest of your unnatural life
Yes, I do
Do you take this woman in death for the rest of your unnatural life
I do
I now pronounce you

Becuse I really always knew that my little crime
Would be cold, that's why I got a heater for your thighs
And I know, I know it's not your time
But bye, bye
And a word to the wise, when the fire dies
You think it's over but it's just begun
But baby, don't cry
You had my heart, at least for the most part
'Cause everybody's gotta die sometime
We fell apart, let's make a new start, oh
'Cause everybody's gotta die sometime, yeah, yeah
But baby, don't cry

    My Interpretation

    I think people are taking the lyrics a bit too seriously. I think it's more of a metaphor of a dysfunctional relationship. Due to his excessive paranoia, maybe he got abusive or controlling. He says at the beginning how "Something would go wrong,Before the possibilities came true, I took all possibility from you" Basically, this explains how he would stop her ever being able to leave him/cheat on him whatever. The abuse/controlling is expressed by the 'stabbing'. Her stabbing him, in return, I believe is her leaving him. It's like a fuck-you for being like that, I'm off, and that pain symbolises his 'stabbing'. After this, he says he must "apologise from somewhere far beyond the grave" I think the 'far beyond the grave' symbolises the grave of their relationship, ie. after things ended. After that, they rekindle their love and get married, explaining the wedding ceremony. Where it says "We're coming back, coming back We'll live forever, live forever Let's have wedding, have a wedding Let's start the killing, start the killing" I believe the 'start the killing' says that they both accept they were wrong in the relationship, but as it's now them BOTH 'killing' it may be some sort of agreement to maybe take their problems out on OTHER people instead of each other.

    Anyway, that's what I think... Kate Revengeance.

    dude falls in love with chick. he's afraid she might one day leave him so he kills her before she gets the chance. he keeps her body young and rapes her corpse. her soul comes back reposesses her body and kills him. they both spend eternity trying to make it up to each other. then i guess they come back to earth from, hell and start killing people? that part with the demon voice came out of nowhere.

    Halloween acid trip doesn't even begin to describe this song. I cannot listen to this song without seriously laughing my ass off for how amazingly fucked up some of these lyrics are. I mean seriously "’Cause I really always knew that my little crime would be cold that's why I got a heater for your thighs" it does not get any sicker than that haha

    He seems like a crazy sadist because he laughs as he kills her and enjoys her fear. And when she comes back she smiles as she murders him. Doesn't seem like there's a lot of love in their relationship at the time of her murder. There's also a hint of insanity when you listen to the laughing, and then at points it's grave and he feels remorse. Or it could be some obsession type thing on his part and simply revenge on hers, and then his remorse.

    It's a lot to consider and the song itself is pretty confusing. And I love it!

    A guy kills his wife/girlfriend, eats her hearth, fucks the corpse and then the girl comes back from hell and kills the guy, and eats his heart. They marry in hell, and they live happily ever after.

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.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
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.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Album art
Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Album art
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.
