Descending the heavens
Forced into this sphere
10 crowns for 7 heads
An angel cast in mirror

Leering at each other
Await the serpents touch
Seal of god on your forehead
Only in death
Shall you know love

Fire enters the gallows
Prisoners trapped like rats
Somewhere out there watching
Your savior starts to laugh

Nailed inside your coffin
Descending the abyss
Nails intrude the deep
As splinters shred your wrists

Sudden outcry of pleasure
All is forgiven
Somewhere in hell
As has risen

Don't leave me
Out here in this cold
My fingers numb
As the world caves in on me

Cracks of the sidewalk
Dreams of the homeless
I push on religiously

    Unless you're qualified to analyze and interpret Gnostic texts you're pretty much fucked. I laugh at anyone who thinks that Integrity lyrics are 'up to your own interpretation.'

The Last Dance
Within Temptation
@[Kahiara:35260] Actually I think the husband passed away, "She sang for you last night She heard you were calling" Many people say they have felt, heard, or seen their loved ones after they have passed. "Don't be scared now Close your eyes She holds guard tonight Go on forward no remorse Life will take it's course" This is said to the late husband by a third part (never named), who encourages him to pass on. Because life will eventually continue. The phrase "holds guard" refers to the ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake_(ceremony) ) which is a Christian ceremony held after someone dies. Now it is usually held right after the funeral, but in most celtiic countries the wake is held before the funeral. "She danced with you last night so you will remember All you have shared, a lifetime." This sentence feels as if the only thing it wants to convey is their history together, namely, husband and wife. For the rest it just refers back to the first verse.

Blank Space
Taylor Swift
This song is Swift's response to the negative reputation the media has given her. "I can make the bad guys good for a weekend" - the bad guys are the paparazzi to Swift, but are good to the "player" since association with Swift immediately gives publicity. Any publicity is good publicity and Swift knows this. "You can tell me when it's over" - the tabloids rumor relationships are over before the couple announces it officially. With this song Swift is portraying the way she is portrayed by the media. It is a sarcastic jab at how she views herself and how her "ex-lovers" only wanted to be with her to increase their fame. I applaud the brilliance in writing about how you always write about relationships. It is expected so Swift is giving the media what they want and profiting off the attention.
