Overneath The Path Of Misery

Marilyn Manson

Stare into my Kodack room
Jackhammer eyes never thought you'd see the asphalt
Crack, crack, crack like a black eggshell
Don't ever say I never warned you from the start
Don't ever say I never warned you from the start
You're not a shovel and I'm not your dirt

Is there any way to unswallow my pride
Can I fuck myself down
While I die you can kill the father
Dad is missing an E

No Macbeth confessed Oedipus
No longer present tense
No Macbeth confessed Oedipus
No longer pre-sentence

No, no, no, no, no reason
No, no, no, no, no reason
No, no, no, no
No reason

I am overneath
I am overneath
I won't regret letting you live
Even if you forgot what you never saved me from
So I say whatever or for never
For, for, for, for fallen for never
For, for, for, for fallen for never
For, for, for, for fallen for never

Whatever
The rape of Persephone was choreographed by all the wrong Greeks
The rape of Persephone was a marketing scheme
Rape, rape, rape Persephone
Rape, rape, rape Persephone
Rape, rape, rape Persephone
Rape, rape, rape Persephone

I am overneath
I am overneath
Overneath overneath
Unbeloved
Cannot be low

From the top of my lungs
To the bottom of my heart
I scream

At the chasm in between
And the path of misery

Overneath overneath
Unbeloved
Cannot be low

From the top of my lungs
To the bottom of my heart
I scream

At the chasm in between
And the path of misery

I am overneath
I am overneath

No no no no no reason
No no no no no reason
No no no no no reason

    I actualy can't figure any meaning for this lyrics :S The onely thing I get is that in the Born Villain trailer, the guy Marilyn is fighting with is his grandfather, the one that he says was a perverted, and after he say "the wages of sin is death" he kills him with a gun with a crucifix on it. I had to watch the video lots of times to realize that guy was his grandfather xD

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
