There stands a dark monument
Born of unfortunate events
A house of myth rumored near
A lost road leading north of here

I tried to warn you, I swear I did!

Tenanted by fear and gloom
Despair calls out from every room
Walls that drip with hopelessness
Filled with an air of malevolence

I tried to warn you, I swear I did!

Abandon hope
All who enter here
Those who ignored
Simply disappeared

They're gonna have to
Scrape you off the walls
That's if they even
Find your body at all

They're gonna have to
Scrape you off the walls
That's if they even
Find your body at all

All that you will find, is hell waiting inside

A blackness lives inside this place
An evil you'll learn to embrace.
It will lure and calm your doubt
Eat you alive and spit you out.

I tried to warn you, I swear I did!

Abandon hope
All who enter here
Those who ignored
Simply disappeared

They're gonna have to
Scrape you off the walls
That's if they even
Find your body at all

They're gonna have to
Scrape you off the walls
That's if they even
Find your body at all

All that you will find, is hell waiting inside

Inside Of This Place
Death Will Not Come Quickly

It Won't Leave A Trace
Death Will Not Come Quickly

It Is Much Too Late
Death Will Not Come Quickly

You Have Sealed Your Fate
Death Will Not Come Quickly

All that you will find, is hell waiting inside

    Y do people post a song and not immediately comment? Ominous song obviously. Pretty self-explanatory although house is used metorphorically. Perfect song for the upcoming Halloween holiday.

Blank Space
Taylor Swift
This song is Swift's response to the negative reputation the media has given her. "I can make the bad guys good for a weekend" - the bad guys are the paparazzi to Swift, but are good to the "player" since association with Swift immediately gives publicity. Any publicity is good publicity and Swift knows this. "You can tell me when it's over" - the tabloids rumor relationships are over before the couple announces it officially. With this song Swift is portraying the way she is portrayed by the media. It is a sarcastic jab at how she views herself and how her "ex-lovers" only wanted to be with her to increase their fame. I applaud the brilliance in writing about how you always write about relationships. It is expected so Swift is giving the media what they want and profiting off the attention.

Alma Matters
Morrissey
The man has pseudo-friends who constantly criticize his actions. They moralize him, "teach" him and advise him to make a significant change in his life, because the way he is and what he does is not what they say it should be. They may find his life lame or immoral. They hold themselves up as role models. The man replies that he will make his own choices and decisions and he does not agree to unconditionally make himself under the influence of questionable quality advice. He justifies this by saying that there is always someone for whom he will be important, no matter what he does and no matter what he is. Although it is not said directly, I read it as meaning that he will always be important to himself in every way and he will always have his own support. "Everyone is different and maybe that's a good thing, but you exceeded that mark 1000 times" - I remember very well how sad the words I once heard (from my peers and it was in negative context) at school made me feel.
