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.
I know how it feels to be on your own
In this cruel world where hearts are bound to turn to stone
Where you are alone and tired of breathing
It's all going wrong and you just can't stand the pain anymore
You're too numb to believe in anything
Baby just don't close your heart
Baby just don't close your heart
Baby just don't close your heart
Darling don't let me down
I know how easy it is to let go
Surrender to despair lurking at your door
To lose your soul and all your feelings
Strength all gone
And so many things left unsaid and deeds undone
You've stopped caring
Cause it's all in vain
Baby just don't close your heart
Baby just don't close your heart
Baby just don't close your heart
Darling don't let me down
You're so alone and tired of breathing
It's all gone wrong and you just can't stand the pain
Baby just don't close your heart
Baby just don't close your heart
Baby just don't close your heart
Darling don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Just don't let me down
In this cruel world where hearts are bound to turn to stone
Where you are alone and tired of breathing
It's all going wrong and you just can't stand the pain anymore
You're too numb to believe in anything
Baby just don't close your heart
Baby just don't close your heart
Baby just don't close your heart
Darling don't let me down
I know how easy it is to let go
Surrender to despair lurking at your door
To lose your soul and all your feelings
Strength all gone
And so many things left unsaid and deeds undone
You've stopped caring
Cause it's all in vain
Baby just don't close your heart
Baby just don't close your heart
Baby just don't close your heart
Darling don't let me down
You're so alone and tired of breathing
It's all gone wrong and you just can't stand the pain
Baby just don't close your heart
Baby just don't close your heart
Baby just don't close your heart
Darling don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Just don't let me down

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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 cried when I heard this song...one of the best HIM songs there is.
Wait
THIS is the song that I don't like..
it's a don't thing.
The lyrics seem like something Valo threw together in a span of five minutes and it just didn't work out! cries WHERE'S MY HIM? WHY'D IT TURN INTO CHEESE?
I think HIM (His Infernal Majesty) is one of the best bands around, there music is meaningful, its so true, its pure this song is about him not wanting anything to give up just like us in some relationships, this song touched me!
HIM and His Infernal Majesty are two different bands =)
no duh but were not talking about that crappy jaz band are we?
gotta be careful, HIM fans get touchy if u say his infernal majesty lol, the band just say HIM stands for something else and make up lies because they think its funny . . .
I love this song! it was like the second song i heard from them, HIM are a great band to listen to when you're dysfunctional teen (like me)
This song was actually kind of a disapointment. It's way too pop for my personally tastes. I mean here they are just venturing WAAAY too far into pussy-dom. In my opinion this one is more "filler" than "killer". Oh well i guess they can't all be good.
All you dudes who ar elike 'this is too cheerful and pop like' your not seeing the deeper meaning! Ville is saying that no matter how bad life gets don't let go! don't give in and end it all, if you keep alive oneday you will find true happiness! so next time think about the words befor eyou jump in with your ' o it's so cheery' well maybe Ville wanted to send the message that deaht isn't the answere!
ok before u start i am fixing my spelling mistakes Are Like Before You Death* im not perfect so don't start
Hi, Clocks is a great song, I like it. What about the meaning of this song.. I don’t think there is only one meaning. I’ve read some meanings of the site and I can understand them all. If I hear this song, I think that Chris is a bit depressed, he wants that it all stops. He wants to go home, to the save place in his life.
