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.
Oh don’t feel unwanted
My love, I know
I will stand undaunted
Before, your grace
And entirely
And eternally
Death is in love with me
Uh-oh
In love with, death is in love with me
Uh-oh
In love with me
Uh-oh
My life
Too soon to be hunted
Not yet
Cause entirely
And eternally
I know since for years
You have been taking me away
But I always come back
Because there’s been so much to do
This time it’s different
It’s our final kiss
My final departure
I’ll rise up from the fire
My wings are not strong yet
But I can fly
I can fly
I can fly
Death is in love with me
Uh-oh
In love, death is in love with me
Uh-oh-oh-oh
Entirely
And eternally
I will be yours
I will be yours
I will be yours
I will be yours
I will be
I will be yours
I will be yours
I will be yours
My love, I know
I will stand undaunted
Before, your grace
And entirely
And eternally
Death is in love with me
Uh-oh
In love with, death is in love with me
Uh-oh
In love with me
Uh-oh
My life
Too soon to be hunted
Not yet
Cause entirely
And eternally
I know since for years
You have been taking me away
But I always come back
Because there’s been so much to do
This time it’s different
It’s our final kiss
My final departure
I’ll rise up from the fire
My wings are not strong yet
But I can fly
I can fly
I can fly
Death is in love with me
Uh-oh
In love, death is in love with me
Uh-oh-oh-oh
Entirely
And eternally
I will be yours
I will be yours
I will be yours
I will be yours
I will be
I will be yours
I will be yours
I will be yours

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
I think this song is about coming out of a long depression. All of that time, you've felt suicidal, and therefore you'd say "Death Is In Love With Me" because of all of your close encounters with death. The part that says
"This time its different Its our final kiss My final departure Ill rise up from the fire My wings are not strong yet But I can fly"
I think that Kerli is trying to say that she's stronger now. She doesn't have suicidal thoughts anymore, and she's recovering. the last two lines especially say that although she's still a bit weak, she's strong enough to say goodbye to death, and fly away.
where can i get this song???
death is personified, and they may have had some kind of flirtation/relationship on the surface (suicidal tendencies). she knows they belong together, but they must wait. and she knows they will be together in the end.
the final departure from the fire (hell) is the last of god's spirit leaving this world.
(idk if you have noticed, but we live in a pretty messed up place, and there seem to be more demons than angels roaming this earth).... eventually all of gods influence will have nothing to do with this place all together...
but before she can spread her wings, she has more to learn (My wings are not strong yet).
i think she means that over and over she has lived in different life times as different people (in past lives), and this time it will be her last life lived on earth...one of the theories of past lives is that we come back to earth so many times to learn different lessons that can't be learned in only one lifetime. the part where she says "i know since for years, youve been taking me away,but i always come back because there has been so much to do... this time its different, its our final kiss, my final departure, i'll rise up from the fire my wings are not strong yet but i can fly" makes me believe that she thinks by the time she is done with this life, she will be a complete spirit. after all, if you have lived so many lives and death is the only thing that always, with out a doubt comes back for you, wouldnt you think it was in love with you?
Since there is much imagery of butterflies in Kerli's music videos, as well as much symbolism that might indicate she has split personalities (a characteristic of mind-controlled individuals, as their brains are compartmentalized in multiple ways, and they develop "triggers")--I have come to the conclusion that she is a mind control victim and puppet of the Illuminati. Her videos desensitize us to occult symbols, while encouraging the Illuminati's New World agenda. The consistent use of butterflies makes me think she was a product of Project Monarch--and if this is the case, then this song would make sense on a whole different level than how many people might interpret it. You see, the Freemasons, Illuminati, and devil worshippers all love DEATH. DEATH is their master. They believe that if they control the messages we receive via mass media, music, education, and the like--that we will all obediently go along with their plans to cut the world population down, in light of limited resources. They have already begun this agenda, in their pushing of the H1N1 vaccine, which has ALREADY caused 3,587 MISCARRIAGES that the CDC has DISMISSED! childhealthsafety.wordpress.com/2010/09/22/flu-vaccine-caused-3587-us-miscarriages-%C2%A0stillbirths/
That being said, one can now begin to make sense of this song. Kerli perceives death as being in love with her, because as a mind control victim, DEATH is her master. She then goes on to say "My life...Too soon to be hunted, not yet"--meaning, she has not yet fulfilled her purpose as a mind-controlled Illuminati puppet, so DEATH will not come to her yet.<br /> "Cause entirely,And eternally<br /> I know since for years<br /> You have been taking me away<br /> But I always come back<br /> Because there's been so much to do"<br /> <br /> In this part, we see that she has been overcome by something that's been dragging her down, making her feel as though she is already dead...that she has felt this way forever, "entirely, and eternally"--but that she keeps coming back to sing, despite how dead she feels inside, and because she hasn't fulfilled her purpose as a puppet/slave.<br />
"This time it's different<br /> It's our final kiss<br /> My final departure<br /> I'll rise up from the fire<br /> My wings are not strong yet<br /> But I can fly"<br /> <br /> In this part, Kerli looks to the future, when she is liberated from her captors. She passes away--but wait: she rises from the FIRE...so she goes to hell? The fact that she is rising from the fire, and she has wings--brings to mind the phoenix rising out of the ashes. But what does it mean? A phoenix rising out of the ashes? The occult meaning behind this is as follows:<br /> <br /> "The Phoenix ... is believed to be a divine bird going back to Egypt ... This Phoenix destroys itself in flames and then rises from the ashes. Most occultists believe that the Phoenix is a symbol of Lucifer who was cast down in flames and who they think will one day rise triumphant. This, of course, also relates to the rising of Hiram Abiff, the Masonic 'christ'." [Bill Schnoebelen, quoted by Dr. C. Burns, "Masonic and Occult Symbols Illustrated", p. 123]<br /> <br />
That being said, we might render this phoenix-like reference to Kerli's hope amid her mind-controlled confusion; the hope that if all these things come to pass, and she's a good puppet/slave for the Illuminati--that she will rise from the ashes with the coming of the Devil, and be able to live once again. What you never see her recognize in her songs, is that we are saved only through believing on Jesus Christ: and if Christianity weren't remotely truthful, then there wouldn't be so many people in the world working against it. Christians wouldn't be being persecuted in the Middle East, and Saudi Arabia wouls stop shredding Bibles and giving Bible thumpers death sentences!I honestly think that she is a lost individual, which is reflected in her music lyrics and videos. After all...art imitates life!
Oh don�t feel unwanted My love, I know I will stand undaunted Before, your grace And entirely And eternally i think this means that she loves this guy and she saying dont feel unwanted cuz she wants him but she cant have him. Death is in love with me Uh-oh In love with, death is in love with me these lines mean that death is in love with her cuz she keeps on dying cuz shes always being reincarnated My life Too soon to be hunted Not yet Cause entirely And eternally I know since for years You have been taking me away But I always come back Because there�s been so much to do shes done reincarnating cuz she learned all her lessons in life but she doesnt want to leave cuz she fell in love and she doesnt know why shes done reincrnating cuz theres alot to do This time it�s different It�s our final kiss My final departure I�ll rise up from the fire My wings are not strong yet But I can fly this means shes leaving and shes departing from this life and the last 2 lines means shes not stong enough to leave him but shes stronger now
