Don't believe what you see
Believe in me and my reality
I am a man of God
God, can't you give that I am begging you
Don't believe what you hear
Believe in me and I will reappear
Salvation here at last
At last, I want you, answers all my questions
Is a desert running dry
Deep inside
You refuse to face the facts
But pray for life
Find salvation's in this phrase
We will wait for the day
You began ending a way
Don't believe what you see
Believe in me and my reality
Infinity in me
This is the end all and be our last hope
Is a desert running dry
Deep inside
You refuse to face the facts
But pray for life
Find salvation's in this phrase
We will wait for the day
You began ending a way
Domine Jesu,
Demitte nobis debita nostra
Salva nos ab igne inferiore
Perduc in caelum omnes animas
Praesertim eas, quae misericordiae tuae maxime indigent
In nomine patris, et filii, et spiritus sancti
Amen
Give me our lie
You and I will devour,
Our senses bring us to forget
Children, sons and you have seen
And our cross, it gives us hope
Is a desert running dry
Deep inside
You refuse to face the facts
But pray for life
Find salvation's in this phrase
We will wait for the day
You began ending a way
And we wait for the day
To discover there is no way
I can't wait and this play
Is the bitter way to wait to end this lie
Believe in me and my reality
I am a man of God
God, can't you give that I am begging you
Don't believe what you hear
Believe in me and I will reappear
Salvation here at last
At last, I want you, answers all my questions
Is a desert running dry
Deep inside
You refuse to face the facts
But pray for life
Find salvation's in this phrase
We will wait for the day
You began ending a way
Don't believe what you see
Believe in me and my reality
Infinity in me
This is the end all and be our last hope
Is a desert running dry
Deep inside
You refuse to face the facts
But pray for life
Find salvation's in this phrase
We will wait for the day
You began ending a way
Domine Jesu,
Demitte nobis debita nostra
Salva nos ab igne inferiore
Perduc in caelum omnes animas
Praesertim eas, quae misericordiae tuae maxime indigent
In nomine patris, et filii, et spiritus sancti
Amen
Give me our lie
You and I will devour,
Our senses bring us to forget
Children, sons and you have seen
And our cross, it gives us hope
Is a desert running dry
Deep inside
You refuse to face the facts
But pray for life
Find salvation's in this phrase
We will wait for the day
You began ending a way
And we wait for the day
To discover there is no way
I can't wait and this play
Is the bitter way to wait to end this lie

Hayalperest
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.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
I think this song is another one by Epica commenting on corrupt religion is. Mark growls the lines by the 'man of God' showing how sinister and demonic the supposed figure of trust is.
"Don't believe what you see, believe in me, in my reality"
suggests that religion urges people to forget what they see (i.e - the way things really are) and instead believe in God. 'In my reality' shows that people who believe in God are in a different reality than the rest of us.
The parts sung by the female choir represent the innocent people who cry out to God for genuine help, only to be answered by the lies of the Church, telling them to put all of their faith in something which doesn't exist.
Simone is the voice of reason, telling these people that believe that they 'refuse to face the facts'. Alternatively (I haven't decided yet :P) she is telling those who don't believe that God clearly exists and they're just refusing to see it. They all wait for the day that God or Jesus will 'break out and reawake' although admit that their hope is waning, comparing it to 'a desert running dry'.
The growls are back as the man of God mocks them with ‘lies!’
Aside from “In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti, Amen” which I’m assuming means ‘in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen’ I’ve no idea what the Latin bit means, so I’ll just gloss over that.
“I can't wait at this rate” suggests that the religious people have given up waiting for God, as he’s never going to come and save them.
This is all just my interpretation of the song, I don’t mean to offend anyone who’s religious.
