A Game We Shouldn't Play

Helloween

I still remember every hour
Every second has been ours
Far away from any burden
We met eyes without a curtain
Headless into a new sensation
Weather brain nor fear or patience
Careless we had a game to play
You crossed my way for twenty days
Why don't you just heal
The yearning that I feel?
Hey, what we called a game
Is more than just a handful of pain
We go the wrong ways
'Cause I believe it's more than just a handful of pain
We go the wrong ways
'Cause I believe it's more than just a handful of pain

We're different colours, different nature
Both we were like pupil and teacher
It's a puzzle with two pieces
Still not done 'cause one still misses
Helpless I go through unknown stages
A chapter of life which has missing pages
Torture's not only physical
It pains unbound
Way, way down
Why don't you just heal
The yearning that I feel?
Hey, what we called a game
Is more than just a handful of pain
We go the wrong ways
'Cause I believe it's more than just a handful of pain
We go the wrong ways
'Cause I believe it's more than just a handful of pain

    That's about the human cloning and how christianism is against it.

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

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.
