@[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.
When I see you in the sun you're as pretty as a swastika
Take you down, down from the inside
Take you down, down from the inside
I want to smash into your face, like a plain
And drown in between your legs
Take you down, down from the inside
Take you down, down from the inside
I'd die for your sins
If you don't kill me while I'm trying, baby
Let me show you where it hurts
Let me show you where it hurts
Let me show you where it hurts
There's more than one way, to make you cry
When I see you in the sun you're as pretty as a swastika
When I see you in the sun you're as pretty as a swastika
Take you down, down from the inside
Take you down, down from the inside
One of us is a knife
One of us is ripe, baby
Let me show you where it hurts
Let me show you where it hurts
Let me show you where it hurts
There's more than one way, to make you cry
Let me show you where it hurts
Let me show you where it hurts
Let me show you where it hurts
There's more than one way, to make you cry
Take you down, down from the inside
Take you down, down from the inside
I want to smash into your face, like a plain
And drown in between your legs
Take you down, down from the inside
Take you down, down from the inside
I'd die for your sins
If you don't kill me while I'm trying, baby
Let me show you where it hurts
Let me show you where it hurts
Let me show you where it hurts
There's more than one way, to make you cry
When I see you in the sun you're as pretty as a swastika
When I see you in the sun you're as pretty as a swastika
Take you down, down from the inside
Take you down, down from the inside
One of us is a knife
One of us is ripe, baby
Let me show you where it hurts
Let me show you where it hurts
Let me show you where it hurts
There's more than one way, to make you cry
Let me show you where it hurts
Let me show you where it hurts
Let me show you where it hurts
There's more than one way, to make you cry

No Surprises

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
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.
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 its all genius metaphores for having sex... aon the other hand it could mean something more political but i know manson... so its probably both meanings at the same time...
First.
Great song. More about someone who would do anything for someone else who may be a particularly ruthless person.
this shits my favourite.
Manson is one weird dude. lol I think that he uses his initial lyrics to kind of freak us out. As in the public. Then he has hidden messages or stories in his lyrics that we can kind of find. lol like Reflecting God is kind of a message of how the human race is helping destroy itself but on the outside, it just seems like he's calling himself God.
marilyn manson said he saw a girl with black hair,red lips,and a pale face and told her she was as pretty as a swastika and it led to sex.
i wouldn't consider that to be weird. i would consider it brilliant. most people don't understand the meaning behind most of his songs. but if they did, and if they actually TRIED to accept the meaning. They'd be suprised that there is actually someone this smart in the world. that's all manson is. one smart guy, trying to get people to open their eyes a little bit and look for a deeper meaning to life.
not a bad song, but the title just seems like a desperate attempt to be 'shocking' for publicity
and armagoddamnmotherfuckingeddon wasn't? lol come on now.
Pretty as a Swastika is about one of his girlfriends or romantic interests, he said it himself and it related to the black hair, pale skin, and red lipstick. I think you can find it in an interview. He also mentions how the record company wouldn't let him put 'swastika' because stores like Wal-Mart refused to sell it so he had to put ($) which he said means the fact that everything is revolved about money and it sickens him. Look it up you'll find it :)
did anybody catch how this song coincides with the first one to create an emotion? devour ends and goes right into this song. with a smash and the heart rate jumps up. ensues. in devour they reject the person who put themself out there. this song reminds me of everytime my ex would refuse to converse with me and slam a door in my face and id spend hours screaming and crying at his door. abusive at best on both parts.
eventually you ust get stabbed. it hurts. let me show you where?
