Song Meanings

[ASD]

Post song lyrics and we try to interpret them, or post the artist's explanation. Though there usually is none, so I figured I'd make a thread and if we put our heads together, we'll eventually decipher the hidden s4t4n1c meanings behind all these songs.

Katatonia - Departer

the blinding white
so far behind i am
running
over idle ground
this evening
i kept my word
did you
i'm turning around
wait for your sound

only so far
according to who
departer
the journey of our lives
i'm slow (when did you first say)
compared to you
departer (i swear it's the truth)
it's the month of july

brother
in your eyes i was the stronger
so how am i to cover you now
without shadowing your path
this time
i watch from the sidelines
your ghost in the limelight
face your fears
and pierce the night

so close
if only you knew
defender
the story of our lives
i'm so rash (why would I swear)
compared to you
surrender (you know it's the truth)
it's the path of our lives

---

EDIT: So far, I'm thinking along the lines of one brother dying, they didn't have a very good relationship but they loved each other anyway and the surviving one has to go on through life without him.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Suddenly she stood there close to me
A woman too grotesque to even be
I felt quite dim, but I was still aware
That I was too drunk to see or care

I said: baby, metal is what I need
Not some bloody whore to feed
She looked at me with stupid eyes
Then I gave her my advice

Piss off, I'm drinking...piss off...or die

She didn't seem to understand what I had to tell
I simply said: I don't want you, so you can go to hell
I was born to play the highest level, living hard and loud
I am into metal and forever to be proud



This shit is deep.

 

[Ice Burn]

Lividity - oozing vaginal discharge

Semen mixed with your feces, rectal high. Choked on dick,
Oozing blood. Beating on my stiff cock, should you fuck
Me? Tied up, I stick your legs in the air. Your cunt,
Tastes just as sweet as your asshole. Trust me my dick
You'll feel. Cutting the skin between your asshole. My
Dick is just to big to fit in. All the years of mental
Torment. Never, will you ever, will you hurt me again.
All the years of mental torment. Never, will you ever,
Will you hurt me again. God is dead, crucified his
Bastard son, took his place on the cross. Now Mary
Awaits, for my cock to take control. Suck my dick you
Sweet whore. God is dead, crucified his bastard son, took
His place on the cross. Sucking on my cock, is it
Everything you dreamed of? Knife wounds on your clit,
Ripping out your uterus.

 

[ConnorFromHell]

Dismembering - to chop her body I begin
Bastard - bastard inside
Disfiguring - abdominal wall is opening
Offal - come to sight

Malintention, to chop the foetus I intent, hateful am I
vile malodours, rancid odours I percieve
I'm getting high

Hate and repulsion is that
which strenghtens my intent
fetal incising causes premature decease
loathing am I to commit
infanticide in unborn state
to tear out the foetus, my aggressions do increase

Mutilate the stillborn

Dismanteling - excoriate the dead unborn
Vile waste - vile waste inside is
Festering - prenatal fluids I adore
Offal - come to sight

Mutilation, the stillborn body chopped in half
hateful am I
Disemboweling,
the torso drained of tepid bowels
I'm getting high



I think I know this one... is it Michael Buble?

Consequences will never be the same.

 

[Cythraul]

You feel your hair with hair-mousse, you fill it with shampoo
We'll crush your face with crowbar, that's what we're gonna do

You exercise and run, you wanna be in shape
But when you're outside jogging your girlfriend we will rape

Tough guys don't look good

We're long-haired and we're dirty, we're ungly and we smell
But if you're in our way we're gonna give you hell

Tooth brush is unknown to us, the dentist cries in fear
And instead of doing exercise we drink a lot of beer

Tough guys don't look good

We drink whiskey like water, we're drinking wine and booze
And if you wanna fight us you're gonna f**kin' lose

So if you not one of us, you're our enemy
You'll wake up in a hospital, that's where you're gonna be

Tough guys don't look good

 

[Slayed Necros]

I support the posting of Gehennah lyrics. Let's make this shit worthwhile:


Too drunk to be silent, can't stay on his feet
With a horrible language he crawls down the street
A pleasant condition, can't hold down the food
Fistful of vomits, he's now in the mood

When he starts tumbling and drops to the floor
It's the sign he awaits, he's got to drink more
Insulting the shorthaired, his arm starts to twist
Their nose bones receives the speed of the fist

He's dirty...he's alone...he's metal to the bone

HARDROCKER

The most incdecent back at school, he always skipped the class
Told his teacher to fuck off and stick it up her ass
He'll never fit into the crowd, he'll never lose his pride
He won't allow no shorthaired heads, he would rather die

Shortcut hair in sight, no words are needed to start the fight
All disco-dance must end in broken bones
Enough to get him pissed, count the teeth you soon shall miss
Footprints in your swollen face shows the way it must be done

Criminally tough and hard, headbanging where we lie
Whiplash-damage, aching neck, still banging till we die
We'll stand together to the end, ain't ever wimping out
We live and die the metal way, loud is all that counts

HARDROCKERS


This literally describes my life.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Hell yes. I attempt to live my life by these laws.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Years have past
Metal will last
Forever growing strong
As we CRUSH the cowards

Destroying the trends
Killing the false ones dead
Headbanging 'til the end

METAL NEVER BENDS

Hail to our friends
Drinking until the end
Playing METAL from our hearts
Hitting the stage in a

DEATH METAL RAGE

Metal and leather bound together
The war has begun
Axe swung low, fists held high
The battle has been won

 

[SkeletonWitch]

Was it a dream?
Was it in Hell?
What is the difference?
I scarcely can tell
Is it just I
Or the world
That's gone mad?
This Vision insane, I'll explain, that I had...

Mourning for something
Something I've never known
I Search for a headstone
A Plot with a marker
But what did I find
In time?
Nothing but a blindness inside
And golden birds in the clouds of my eyes

Then a ghostly waif did arrive
And demanded:
"Who will love or listen to me now?
What lost urchin searches for my poor disfigured ghost?"

And so a Grave I did find
In time
Not one of the dead
But voices echoing in my head
They said:

Standing condemned
The trial commenced
None to defend her and no evidence
Vaguely aware Of her hands in their chains
Heedless of all that the chamber contained

The sentence was passed
The barristers laughed
When they had killed her they cut her in half

When golden birds flew
Out from her severed halves
They trapped them to sell to the gathered riff-raff

All the ghosts had gone unnoticed there
They haunted
Every corner of the court and
Outside in the square they waited

Golden feathers now in their tin cages
Waving farewell to the shades as they brought her to

This place where only memories can breathe
She sits sewn together and scarcely bereaved
Unheard she sings an unearthly lament
And no one on earth seems to know where she went

"Footprints" by Warning

"I am not feeling the green burning flame,
As I gaze back along footprints you have made.

And I am not dreaming of more than you have shown.
You are not a foundation,
You are not a stone.

But I'm afraid of the way that I'm feeling,
Afraid of this new understanding now;
Afraid for the beauty within me,
And that which I hold within my hand.
And this is the ultimate secret
That many before me have ever known.
So capture me while I am weakest
I want to know,
I want to know.

Here I am wide open, surrendering to your side;
I have laid down my armour,
I have no sword at my side.
I leave behind me the ruins of the fortress I swore to defend;
I leave behind me foundations;
I'll leave you a man I'll need you to mend.
And through all the battles around me
I never believed I would fight.
Yet here I stand a broken soldier,
Shivering, naked, in your winter light."

I always say this song as about desperately loving someone who is now out of your reach.

 

[waif]

To me that sounds like wanting someone even though you know they're not right for you.
But I could be projecting.

 

[The Ozzman]

We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand

CHORUS
Never gonna give you up,
Never gonna let you down,
Never gonna run around and desert you,
Never gonna make you cry,
Never gonna say goodbye,
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it
And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see

(CHORUS)

CHORUSCHORUS
(Ooh give you up)
(Ooh give you up)
(Ooh) never gonna give, never gonna give
(give you up)
(Ooh) never gonna give, never gonna give
(give you up)

We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand

(CHORUS)

 

[SentinelSlain]

She is waiting to kiss my hand
But she will wait for my command
My chains and collar brought her to her knees
She now is free to please

Woman, be my slave
That's your reason to live
Woman, be my slave
The greatest gift I can give
Woman, be my slave

Before her surrender she had no life
Now she's a slave, not a wife
Her only sorrow is for women who live with lies
She's taken off her disguise

Woman, be my slave
That's your reason to live
Woman, be my slave
The greatest gift I can give
Woman, be my slave

Your body belongs to me

Woman, come here
Remove your garments
Kneel before me
Please me

Woman, be my slave
That's your reason to live
Woman, be my slave
The greatest gift I can give
Woman, be my slave

DEATH METAL RAGE

Metal and leather bound together
The war has begun
Axe swung low, fists held high
The battle has been won

I'd say the meaning o this song is that Death Metal isn't a party.

[Estellise Sidos Heurassein]

I always thought "Beyond the Realms of Death" was a very profound song about someone disconnecting from reality and losing the will to live. It has my very favorite lyrics.

 

[King Richard]

rickroll

I think this song is about Ozzman eating a bag of dicks.

You got the right idea, but you're missing the part about how the guys somehow lost control of his body due to mental illness or disease and is somehow happier in his coma/paralyzed type state.
