Now you know When I couldn't grow Places where I live Downward you'll soon drift On the sailless boat Nothing left to give All I see is throat Flowing glower Witless knower Seedless sower Will you realise? If it's all a lie Right before we die My soul leads to the wrong Now that I bleed a song Changeling of the night Purely based on fright I have this new sight Sad with my face so long Flowing glower Witless knower Five steps lower If I tell a lie Will you realise? Numb the pain Way high and real low Now it feels the same Hollowed out with shame Have love or feel so With my brand new name Hoping to see the day Flowing glower I'm bipolar Seedless sower If I die tonight Then in time you'll find Will you be alright? Quest your heart and mind Thirst becomes boring Over space and time Now that we're soaring All you are is mine Done with exploring Flowing glower Ruthless flower Breathless blower If it's all a lie Will you realise? Seek and you shall find Everything inside Read between the lines Here in the afterlife I'll show you the light

    This song is so relaxing, his voice is so soothing, I think he just tried to come up with as many words as possible to ryhme with "glower".

    I thought maybe I was the only one that really thinks it's about vampires. If I get bored enough, I will take the song and analyze it more upon this basis.

    This Song, I think has got to be about Vampires, or being a vampire. So many things point to being a vampire or transending into a vampire. Heres a few reasons why i say this. "All I see is throat", Sucking Blood from the throat. "Have love or feel so Hollowed out with shame Hoping to see the day" Vampires find it hard to find love unless its with another vampire, and the reference to wanting to see the day, we all know vamps cant be out in the day time. Heres another interesting lyric, "Then in time you'll find Thirst becomes boring", Of how the thirst for blood becomes boring and old. This whole verse makes me think about being a vampire or becoming one, "Right before we die My soul leads to the wrong Changeling of the night Now that I bleed a song Purely based on fright Sad with my face so long I have this new sight", Now, right before you becomes a vampire you will die, and you become a souless thing, your soul leads to the wrong, a changling of the night, such as deadsy says, and he says he has this new sight, the sight of a vampire perhaps? But who knows, it could be about a blowjob, "Downward you'll soon drift" "All I see is throat" "Breathless blower", lmao.

    While the previous poster did put some thought in to his conclusion, I have to disagree with him.

    Deadsy isn't your typical 'goth' band. I find it hard to believe that they would sing about Vampires.

    I think the song is about a guy who died before he was able to tell a girl he loved her. Or vice versa.

    Either way, I don't think it's about vampires. I do however believe it's about lost love.

    I thought it might have been about getting a blowjob but in the dick's point of view "All I see is throat" LOL

    I have many different ideas about this song. I agree with AgentONeal, and I think Megalodon made a great observation. Ultimately I think it must have something to do with becoming immortal. I imagine it's about someone who's died and is a spirit. "Downward you'll soon drift On the sailless boat" I believe that is making reference to a soul traveling the river of Cocytus in the Underworld of Greek Mythology.

    I also think it might be referring to God. With all the lines of being a "seedless sower" and "breathless blower" I think it could refer to God because He has the power to do anything regardless of resources.
    And the line "I'll show you the light Here in the afterlife" especially provokes me to believe it's about God.

    There are so many ways to take it and I think that makes it a very good song. The possibilities to analyse this song are nearly endless.

    My Interpretation

    I agree with a few of the earlier posters, I believe Deadsy is NOT you usual Goth band, their songs are of philosophical concepts and real life experience. Now with that I agree with one of the posters who. was argued with that it is the concept of being an immortal, a Vampire. I happen to know Elijah is an Ann Rice Fan and her Vampires are represent real human issues. Feeling depressed, spiraling downward. So I think it is a Vamp song but with a deeper meaning, one a human can relate too.

    Song Meaning

    It's about bipolar depression and the temptation of suicide as an ever-present way out, Elijah Blue stated this in an interview.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Mountain Song
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."

No Surprises
Radiohead
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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
