High life
Ray of light annoying as a cold breath in the eyes
Water falls down
Lights around are flashing
and in meat a razorblade
water falls down
Seems to be the day
(I cannot handle this)
listen to the music in my mind
for a while
seems to be my hour
my shell has disappeared
swallow whirls of dust into my mouth
But it's wonderful I know
Hiding all my fear
my nightmare is becoming real
take a look at me
I'm a loser
Hiding all my crimes and then
forgetting all my ideas
Take a look at me
I'm a loser
I'm a loser
Water falls down
Lights around are flashing
and in meat a razorblade
water falls down
Seems to be the day
(I cannot handle this)
listen to the music in my mind
for a while
seems to be my hour
my shell has disappeared
swallow whirls of dust into my mouth
But it's wonderful I know
Hiding all my fear
my nightmare is becoming real
take a look at me
I'm a loser
Hiding all my crimes and then
forgetting all my ideas
Take a look at me
I'm a loser
I'm a loser

Word Alive, The
Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.
Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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."
We all know what it is to experience envy. Can we really hold our head up high as we compare ourselves to one with greater appearance, wealth, or social status? When we must stand in a group with these people, how do we stand our ground? Self-esteem is not abundant for some people. Confidence is delicate, and fragile like glass. When we drop it, it shatters into a thousand pieces.
The line "swallow whirls of dust into my mouth" is a great one for visualizations. You feel like you are chewing on dust sometimes when you talk to people because you feel so bad.
Wow!!!!! I love Acetica's interpretations of Lacuna Coil's music. She really grasps their true meanings. I truly love this band and their music. Their songs are all so touching and moving:)

this ong makes me feel how much a big loser i am at school when i listen but it almost me feel really good
someone please tell me why evanesance is big and lacuna coil isnt? anyways awesome solo in this song and great lyrics, exactly what lacuna coil is, talent. It seems to be that you can't get ahead in life and just so many setbacks and roadblocks.
Lacuna Coil IS Big!<br /> However they're not on the 'top countdowns' of shitty music listeners.<br /> Which makes their following a dedicated bunch of people who know Good Music without having to be told what it is.<br /> By the way You seem to be implying Evanesence is Similar to Lacuna coil. <br /> I understand the female singer hitting all those wonderful notes is a similarity, however the bands are totally different in background, sound, AND Image.<br /> <3 Lacuna Coil <3
Lacuna Coil has a darker sound, Evanescence has a more mainstream one. Why does everyone correlate the two? I love them both, but come on, they aren't that similar.
Still trying to figure out what 1:19 has to do with the lyrics. All Andrea and Cristina are saying is that it's the distance between two places... I'm thinking the description makes it look like a crime scene or perhaps a religous building, but those are a bit too obvious to be right =/. Then, it also reminds me of a delusional scene, perhaps suicidal? "Lights around are flashing/and in meat a razorblade/water falls down" -- Candles flicker, razorblade, and bleeding? That's a far reach, someone should plant a general idea before I spout out nonsense again...
I take this song as someone who's sentenced with the death penalty.
I happened to have a personal connection to Lacuna Coil, because they have a history that extends far beyond Italy. In fact the original members of the band were based in - get this - New Orleans, LA. The original lead guitarist wrote this song after watching a TV movie about St. Joan of Arc, which directly plays into theories about someone being sentenced to death. The song was originally titled "Wonderful," and the reason it held that title was because the little girl playing the young Joan in the movie kept yelling the phrase, "It's wonderful! Everything is wonderful!"
Maybe the movie about St. Joan of Arc was 1 hour and 19 minutes long?
