Lyrics Interpretation

[Reaping Clarity]

I made this thread for anyone to say lyrics they want to know the meaning of/hear the opinions from others. I think it will be interesting to hear what people think about any lyrics, whether it be a comprehensive response or not . Oh and keep it metal if possible

Here's a song i'm curious about, Bereavement by Insomnium.

----------------------------------------------------------
Would you come and share
My cross, my pain, my heartbroken nature
For this burden is too heavy to bear
Too troublesome for one man to handle

Since my darkness swallowed
The last gleam of light
I've been rambling in the shadows
Hour after hour in the dark

They who never got sorrow,
Grinding grief in their hearts
Never lost a thing,
Never had a thing

They who never witnessed beauty,
That flamed even the all-encompassing night
Never lost a thing,
Never had a thing

Now these bitter tears run ceaseless,
And drown my hope far too deep
It must've been the day we parted
When I trapped this sadness in me

Since my darkness swallowed
The last gleam of light
I've been clothed in mourning,
Wearing sorrow day and night
----------------------------------------------------------

To me basically this song is about loss in any kind or form, also possibly that you must appreciate life and live it to the fullest (from what I gather in the chrous anyway)

So feel free to respond to that song with your thoughts or post your own for others to respond to.

What about some misinterpretation? That's far more rewarding.

On the Desecration Master off Inquisitors of Satan, I swear to god, it goes from "Death is coming fast, she's my only faith" to "I eat a lot of salmon, bar, I eat a lot of meteors".

FIne, lets dedicate the thread to both then. Hilarious by the way Satan

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

In Cannibal Corpse's "Hammer Smashed Face" when Barnes goes "rooted in my cortex" I thought it sounded like "murder in my corn flakes".

I know EXACTLY the part you're talking about!!

 

[Hammer of Might]

My brother thought that Manowar's The Crown And The Ring went "I am 19 and only a kid" instead of "high and mighty alone we are kings"

I actually do have a question about lyrics, do you guys think this song is about rape?

Deadly Nightshade by Swallow The Sun​

The strength of her pulse is breaking her chest
She's getting wet from this feverish writhe
The midnight's cruel for a lonely girl
When the unknown slowly undresses her breasts
The voice - and her eyes wide shut
Her fever burns a mark on her bed
The path that she runs among these silent trees
Leads her body for me to claim
The veil of fog covers her velvet skin
As she kneels naked under the moon
The whispers from her lips and her screams
Invite me to her ecstatic flame, over and over again
Her bed is covered in dirt and leaves
And she's burning down on her knees
Midnight's cruel for a lonely girl
And she's getting wet from this feverish writhe​

It's either about rape or backgammon, I can't decide which.

 

[Hammer of Might]

Yeah, could well be. Nice lyrics though.

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

What does Limp Bizkit's Rollin' mean?

Is he doing a roly poly?, or rolling up a piece of paper?, or rolling his grandfather's truck wheel? Im so confused!

 

[Black Core]

he enjoys rolling his weener in his hands, Limp dick has nothing better to do

 

[Lunatic_Asylum]

The worst in understanding for me is Pinball Map by In Flames.
What about "Bereavement" by Insomnium.. I am not sure, but it's either
1. about a werewolf or a vampire's loss of their beloved on the day they were transformed.
2. a common love story, without a happy end (the death of the partner).

Deadly Nightshade by Swallow The Sun:
1. Assassin in the dark, doing it for money.
2. Rapist's happiness.
3. Vampire hunt.

 

[entanglement]

The midnight's cruel for a lonely girl

I don't get this lne.

BEAUTIFUL DARK POETRY.....

The Beautiful Downgrade

Fingered slowly like the first time you came
The agents of oblivion descend upon the sane
Caked with mud and mother's blood
Playing death games in the rain
And we wonder how it feels to be free
I thought I heard them whisper mutiny
Living room rape scenes
We cut their throats while they slept
Dreaming and digesting shards of turtle shell
The television's blaring
And the ghost of Hitler speaks
Crowned with barbed-wire
I smear my warm semen on the walls of my oppression
I accuse God for the murder of eternity
My everything that is nothing
Christian propaganda and dog sperm
Degeneration...
The beautiful downgrade
Do you remember the first sunrise?
Sharpened bone clenched tight in your fist
Screaming into the blue
An urge to kill the sky
I can smell the forest like pussy in heat
Barefoot I run through the chaos
The assassins of freedom tend the burning of truth
As we walk these prison walls
It's maddening, always touching something


and then theres the one and only.....

Old Skin

WE smoke the toenails and hair
of the wiseman
under a BLACKGOD's thumb
we dance like painted puppets
she bleeds orgasm in techni-color
an ocean of alien mystery
we eat the wiseman's eyes
for sight that we might
see the darkness if we kill
the lights fast enough
we eat the brain and pray
that our eyes can open wide enough
we burn the dry shell, a funeral chant
the pulse quickens and we dance
as the blossoms fall
a scattering of dust to the winds
this celebration of old skin
I feel every flower that is
screaming to consume you
the earth and sky your cradle
the earth and sky entomb you
so is the way of forever
teeming with simple cruelties
beatings in cold rooms
hands and head not found
