Battle dawn--- Mercedes Lackey

I must contain my anger, or I won't control my power-
But gods! How long I've waited just to see this very hour!
It's just as well I'm not the one who calls the storm of fire---
Or I would turn this battle plain into your funeral pyre!

The priests all say I must not hate--- but I will not pretend.
I saw the wreck you made of her, my Herald and my friend---
The scars you left in flesh and soul will be so slow to fade---
Oh, would I had your coward heart beneath my naked blade!

I must control my rage, or lose ability to plan,
I must direct the fight from here, not charging in the van.
As you will likewise do, no doubt, for all that you are cruel
And revel in shed blood and pain, I think you are no fool.

But in the name of all the gods, you're all that I despise,
Who planned to take by treachery my kingdom as your prize---
My throne, my child, my people. All, you plotted to despoil---
By tricks that only miracles enabled us to foil.

I must control my fury or let slip all that I've sought-
But vengeance would not be enough for all the grief you've wrought.
Gods grant this day you fall beneath the steel of me and mine---
And drink full deeply of defeat, that cold and bitter wine.

My crown is on my brow, my naked blade within my hand.
My army like an eager hound lies waiting my command.
With how you tortured, killed and lied revealed to them this day---
By all the stars that ever shone,
By all the gods, known and unknown,
For Herald Kris and my Queen's Own---
I swear that you will pay!

Analysis:

     This song is one of those few songs that are unique enough to be hooked on no matter what. It's one of those songs that brings out things like "dragons", "mages", and things like that. The tone of the song in the video has that mesmerizing effect that will most likely get you thinking "what more is out there like this?" and start look for the rest of it.

I must contain my anger, or I won't control my power-
But gods! How long I've waited just to see this very hour!
It's just as well I'm not the one who calls the storm of fire---
Or I would turn this battle plain into your funeral pyre!

The priests all say I must not hate--- but I will not pretend.
I saw the wreck you made of her, my Herald and my friend---
The scars you left in flesh and soul will be so slow to fade---
Oh, would I had your coward heart beneath my naked blade! 
      The first verse is like the logic in the situation like in the third verse in the song. The line "I must contain my anger, or I won't control my power" is obviously the thought if she let go to her anger, she'll lash out at everyone but those that need the angry side but... she wanted to see that very hour. She wanted to see him the way things became with him. On his side, he's suffering while she's enjoying the fact that he's getting what he deserves. In the third line, she's the innocent one but not afraid to make that battlefield the place of burial for all that oppose her. In the second verse, the first and second lines are the truth.  I mean, priests in this situation always say that hate is not the answer but pretending is not the answer. The injuries that the opposer had inflicted will like the lyric says "will be so slow to fade" and him/her under her naked blade.

I must control my rage, or lose ability to plan,
I must direct the fight from here, not charging in the van.
As you will likewise do, no doubt, for all that you are cruel
And revel in shed blood and pain, I think you are no fool.

But in the name of all the gods, you're all that I despise,
Who planned to take by treachery my kingdom as your prize---
My throne, my child, my people. All, you plotted to despoil---
By tricks that only miracles enabled us to foil. 

     The first line of the third verse that goes "I must control my rage, or lose ability to plan" which is basically another truth. It's like.... rage impairs certain abilities. Planning is actually one of them and in order to stay in the clear, a clear head must be a necessity. But the ones that oppress the ruler of the kingdom will let their rage impair their judgment like alcohol would and honestly, that is what would foil their plans. But due to them reveling in bloodshed and the pain they cause, they're no fools by any standards. But the following verse is like, the ones that are trying to take over those that they are after, it was a miracle that those victims were able to foil their plans when their rage was unable to.

I must control my fury or let slip all that I've sought-
But vengeance would not be enough for all the grief you've wrought.
Gods grant this day you fall beneath the steel of me and mine---
And drink full deeply of defeat, that cold and bitter wine.

My crown is on my brow, my naked blade within my hand.
My army like an eager hound lies waiting my command.
With how you tortured, killed and lied revealed to them this day---
By all the stars that ever shone,
By all the gods, known and unknown,
For Herald Kris and my Queen's Own---
I swear that you will pay!

     The first of these 2 verses is basically like, a prayer that those that want to go after the leaders of the kingdom to fall dead before them like the line "Gods grant this day you fall beneath the steel of me and mine" basically saying that the ruler wanted to personally kill them. In the second verse of this grouping, the second line "My army like an eager hound lies waiting my command" is just a descriptive way of saying that they're ready to kill those that try to kill the ruler. And the very last lines: "By all the stars that ever shone" "By all the gods, known and unknown" For Herald Kris and my Queen's own---" "I swear that you will pay" basically is showing that he/she won't have anything of what they are plotting.

     I hope you liked this song. I have a few other songs like this coming your way. :D

Until next time,

Voices---- Chris young

You could say I'm a little bit crazy
You could call me insane
Walkin' 'round with all these whispers
Runnin' 'round here in my brain

I just can't help but hear 'em
Man, I can't avoid it
I hear voices
I hear voices like

My dad sayin', "Work that job
But don't work your life away"
And mama tellin' me to drop some cash
In the offerin' plate on Sunday

And granddad sayin', "You can have a few
But don't ever cross that line"
Yeah, I hear voices all the time

Turns out I'm pretty dang lucky
For all that good advice
Those hard-to-find words of wisdom
Holed up here in my mind

And just when I've lost my way
Or I've got too many choices
I hear voices
I hear voices like

My dad sayin', "Quit that team
And you'd be a quitter for the rest of your life"
And mama tellin' me to say a prayer
Every time I lay down at night

And grandma sayin', "If you find the one
You better treat her right"
Yeah, I hear voices all the time

Sometimes I try to ignore 'em
But I thank God for 'em
'Cause they made me who I am

My dad sayin', "Work that job
But don't work your life away"
And mama tellin' me to drop some cash
In the offerin' plate on Sunday

And granddad sayin', "You can have a few
But don't ever cross that line"
Yeah, I hear voices all the time
Yeah, I hear voices all the time
All the time 

Analysis:

     Oh...... what can I say about this song? Just by the look of it, I think he has some nighttime spirit issues with them talking to him. And when you try to ignore them, why would you thank god to have them? Some people would say that one that talk to spirits are absolutely nuts but, honestly, I think if you don't have any way to judge for certain if someone is "insane" or not, it's not your place to say. Very few things that we hear in our heads actually tell us to do the right thing but often times, we don't listen to that and go the opposite direction.

You could say I'm a little bit crazy
You could call me insane
Walkin' 'round with all these whispers
Runnin' 'round here in my brain

I just can't help but hear 'em
Man, I can't avoid it
I hear voices
I hear voices like

     Some would say that he would be crazy/insane with him hearing those in his mind. Most would classify that as Schizophrenia and wouldn't put that as normal. But then again, if it's like talking to your late family and friends, I don't see the problem in it to be honest. Even though he can't stop hearing the voices.

My dad sayin', "Work that job
But don't work your life away"
And mama tellin' me to drop some cash
In the offerin' plate on Sunday
      Basically this verse is from the father's/mother's perspective. The father's side of the story, you can work to support yourself and your family but don't just make it all about work like most do. Which leads to the mother's side of the story with dropping money in the offering plate. That's actually the best event pairing to "make the money to live" and to "put it in the plate".

And granddad sayin', "You can have a few
But don't ever cross that line"
Yeah, I hear voices all the time

Turns out I'm pretty dang lucky
For all that good advice
Those hard-to-find words of wisdom
Holed up here in my mind
     What can I say about this? Simple rlly. It's just the grand father's words of wisdom.

My dad sayin', "Quit that team
And you'd be a quitter for the rest of your life"
And mama tellin' me to say a prayer
Every time I lay down at night

And grandma sayin', "If you find the one
You better treat her right"
Yeah, I hear voices all the time
      With the father saying that quitting that team would label him a quitter for life and the mom that prayer is the best pre bedtime thing to do to keep your mind within it's own "peace of mind". The wise words of his grandmother saying that if he finds the one, treating her right is the only way to keep her. Mostly to ensure happiness and to know that there's a woman that loves him on a deeper level.

     Honestly, this is the shortest analysis that I've ever done. Honestly, I was kind of crunched for time a little bit..... If I had more time today, I would have tried to make it more detailed. This kitty is very sorry. *sad kitty face* so long! :D

Until Next time,

Dream Walkin---- Toby Keith

Okay, something different. :D

She left a yellow rose and a long neck bottle
On a table beside my bed
With a short little note that said I had a good time
It was written in lipstick red
She didn't sign her name I wonder
If that a little secret that she keeps
Ooo... she's walkin' around in my sleep

Dream walkin', pillow talkin'
She's callin' my name again
Day's breakin' I ain't wakin' up, I'm sleepin' in
I'm on a roll now, I gotta know how this dream ends

She took my new sunglasses and my old jean jacket
And she never even bothered to ask
You could say I haven't seen her since late last summer
But every night she comes back
Just like smoke through the keyhole
She slips in so silently
Ooo... she's walkin' around in my sleep

Dream walkin', pillow talkin'
She's callin' my name again
Day's breakin' I ain't wakin' up, I'm sleepin' in
I'm on a roll now I gotta know how this dream ends

Ooo... there's a thin line between dreams and memories
I'll be losin' my mind 'till she comes back to me

Dream walkin', pillow talkin'
She's callin' my name again
Day's breakin I ain't wakin' up, I'm sleepin' in
I'm on a roll now I gotta know how this dream ends
I'm on a roll now I gotta know how this dream ends
I'm on a roll now I gotta know how this dream ends

She's walkin' around in my sleep
She's walkin' around in my sleep


analysis:

     This song is one of the best songs that most would easily relate to if they listen to this artist.

She left a yellow rose and a long neck bottle
On a table beside my bed
With a short little note that said I had a good time
It was written in lipstick red
She didn't sign her name I wonder
If that a little secret that she keeps
Ooo... she's walkin' around in my sleep
     Most guys have this situation happen to them. They see something like mentioned in the first and the last 5 lines. A rose in a beer bottle, a note in lipstick without it signed, a secret, and feeling like the girl is walking around in his sleep. Some girls are just that secretive, but in this situation, it could be mistaken for a dream..... It could have been. Some girls would love to cause a "dreamlike" scenario like this but she keeps wondering if she is found. So, she leaves any and all areas that the guy would visit..... Even the place they met.

Dream walkin', pillow talkin'
She's callin' my name again
Day's breakin' I ain't wakin' up, I'm sleepin' in
I'm on a roll now, I gotta know how this dream ends

     This verse is basically like: "this dream is too real and I don't want to lose it forever". The lines "Day's breakin' I ain't wakin' up, I'm sleepin' in" "I'm on a roll now, I gotta know how this dream ends". Which is basically like every other dream that is interesting to them. I would be the same if I was in the same dream realm that this verse describes. Most wouldn't want to wake up from a dream like that. And which sane person would want to? I mean, I would love to have this kind of dream but with a guy that I really like.

She took my new sunglasses and my old jean jacket
And she never even bothered to ask
You could say I haven't seen her since late last summer
But every night she comes back
Just like smoke through the keyhole
She slips in so silently
Ooo... she's walkin' around in my sleep

     The first line is like the thing that most women do..... taking their new sunglasses and their favorite jacket and on top of that, not bothering to ask to do anything to them, common. After the second line, the comparison between the fog/mist and how she enters his dreams at night is amazing because some girls can actually be closely resembled. Sometimes I could have that "smoke through the keyhole" like silence when I enter a room/exit a room. At times, it's like, a freaky aspect of it all.

     This is one of Toby's most entrancing songs. In my mind, he is one of the best male country stars of this century. That's just my opinion.

Until next time,

The drug in me is you---- Falling in reverse

I heard a knock upon my door the other day
I opened it to find death staring in my face
The feel of mortal stalking still reverberates
Everywhere I go I drag this coffin just in case

My body's tremblin' sends shivers down my spine
Adrenaline kicks in, shifts into overdrive,
Your secrets keep you safe, your lies keep you alive
Snake eyes every single time, you roll with crooked dice

(Ah)

I felt the darkness as it tried to pull me down (pull me down)
The kind of dark that haunts a hundred year old house
I wrestle with my thoughts, I shook the hand of doubt
Running from my past, I'm praying feet don't fail me now

I've lost my goddamn mind
It happens all the time
I can't believe I'm actually
Meant to be here
Trying to consume
The drug in me is you
And I'm so high on misery
Can't you see?

I got these questions always running through my head
So many things that I would like to understand
If we are born to die and we all die to live
Then what's the point of living life if it just contradicts?

(Ah)

I felt the darkness as it tried to pull me down (pull me down)
The kind of dark that haunts a hundred year old house
I wrestle with my thoughts I shook the hand of doubt
Running from my past I'm praying feet don't fail me now

I've lost my goddamn mind
It happens all the time
I can't believe I'm actually
Meant to be here
Trying to consume
The drug in me is you
And I'm so high on misery
Can't you see?

I've lost
Myself
You tried to reach me but you just can't help me
So long
Goodbye
You tried to save me, it won't work this time

'Cause now

I've lost my fucking mind
And there's no fucking time
I can't believe I'm actually
Meant to be here
Trying to consume
The drug in me is you
And I'm so high on misery
Can't you see?
Oh, can't you see?
Can't you see?


Feeling:

     This song has a message in it that most don't really understand but if you break it down verse by verse and looking at possibilities that the messages could be. In songs nowadays, there could be 5-6 messages in one song.

I heard a knock upon my door the other day
I opened it to find death staring in my face
The feel of mortal stalking still reverberates
Everywhere I go I drag this coffin just in case

     This verse is basically saying that there was a girl that he would tell that would kill him if he wasn't careful. Everywhere he goes, he feels like he's being stalked by her and can feel that she knows where he is at every moment of the day/night. And due to that, he drags the coffin around just in case that so called "drug" kills him. But I personally think that he's exaggerating about it and just being paranoid.

My body's tremblin' sends shivers down my spine
Adrenaline kicks in, shifts into overdrive,
Your secrets keep you safe, your lies keep you alive
Snake eyes every single time, you roll with crooked dice


     Due to his "paranoia", the chills is like the wind chills of the girl "stalking" him like in the previous verse, and to me, he needs to chill and just take a deep breath. The third line in the verse: "Your secrets keep you safe, your lies keep you alive" is true. It's like that time when I went through Inglewood and Crenshaw Heights, and for those that know........ I/B and C.H./C. (For those that know, you know what I mean by the abbreviations). And I think you know what I mean by mentioning this incident. The line: "Snake eyes every single time, you roll with crooked dice" in my mind, it means that no matter what you do, you always get snake eyes regardless of what you roll.

I felt the darkness as it tried to pull me down (pull me down)
The kind of dark that haunts a hundred year old house
I wrestle with my thoughts, I shook the hand of doubt
Running from my past, I'm praying feet don't fail me now
     This verse is cryptic in it's own right. The first line: "I felt the darkness as it tried to pull me down (pull me down)" I think referring to what I believe the darkness is like the shadow of the girl that is causing his so-called "paranoia" by "stalking him. The first line is basically comparing the girl stalking him to the darkness of a "hundred year old house" with the haunting of ghosts. The last line is basically like praying that he could get away and hoping that his feet could carry him away.

I've lost my goddamn mind
It happens all the time
I can't believe I'm actually
Meant to be here
Trying to consume
The drug in me is you
And I'm so high on misery
Can't you see?

     This verse is like his denial phase due to the lines "I can't believe I'm actually" and "meant to be here" with the name of the song following the lines mentioned due to the steps of grief/acceptance.  Honestly, some girls make it seem like they have no way out. Personally, I get how they feel cause it's not only a girl thing, it's also a guy thing that the guys also do it too. If you don't believe it, think long and hard about it, it'll be worth it.

I got these questions always running through my head
So many things that I would like to understand
If we are born to die and we all die to live
Then what's the point of living life if it just contradicts?


     This verse actually speaks the truth. It's like the lines "If we are born to die and we all die to live" "then what's the point of living life if it just contradicts?" Which is true because we start our lives born then at the end of our lives by the hands of death. Most think that if your acts are kindly, you go to heaven, and if your acts are cruel, you go to hell. But that's not the case, that's just a state of mind to me. I don't think that we just go to just heaven or hell. I believe in the "spirit world" which is our soul's interpretation of their ideal reality when they pass on to the afterlife. Like the pharaohs for example, if they pay well and all that good stuff, Anubis would pass them on to eternal life with endless riches and goods.

I've lost
Myself
You tried to reach me but you just can't help me
So long
Goodbye
You tried to save me, it won't work this time
     This verse is basically like "I've had enough. I'm done with everyone. Good bye forever cruel world. See you all in hell" kind of thing. And I believe that it was pointed to the girl that he had and the lines "You tried to reach me but you just can't help me" and "you tried to save me, it won't work this time" and the next verse was basically the same thing as this one but more in detail than this verse. Most would have missed it but, just think about it.......



    Well, this is one of the more interesting posts that I've personally made to date...... in fact, the first one by far...... see you later. :D

In the end----- Black veil brides

In the end
As you fade into the night (oh whoa oh oh)
Who will tell the story of your life?

In the end
As my soul's laid to rest
What is left of my body
Or am I just a shell?
And I have fought
And with flesh and blood I commanded an army
Through it all
I have given my heart for a moment of glory
(I gave it all)

In the end
As you fade into the night (oh whoa oh oh)
Who will tell the story of your life (oh whoa oh oh)
And who will remember your last goodbye (oh whoa oh oh)
'Cause it's the end and I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid to die.

I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid to die

Born a saint
But with every sin I still wanna be holy
I will live again
Who we are
Isn't how we live we are more than our bodies
If I fall I will rise back up and relive my glory

In the end
As you fade into the night (oh whoa oh oh)
Who will tell the story of your life (oh whoa oh oh)
And who will remember your last goodbye (oh whoa oh oh)
'Cause it's the end and I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid to die

In the end
As you fade into the night (oh whoa oh oh)
Who will tell the story of your life (oh whoa oh oh)
And who will remember your last goodbye (oh whoa oh oh)
'Cause it's the end and I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid to die

Who will remember this last goodbye (oh whoa oh oh)
'Cause it's the end and I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid to die

Not afraid
I'm not afraid to die
No not afraid
I'm not afraid to die! 


Feeling:

     This song is one of BVB's more...... deeply embedded songs that will burrow it's way into the soul and never let the soul go making it one of their more interesting songs. Yet the lyrics are well paired up where they can capture any good BVB fan's heart.

In the end
As you fade into the night (oh whoa oh oh)
Who will tell the story of your life?
     It symbolizes how when life ends, who would actually tell everyone else what the person has done during their life and what has been. If I was in the position of the one that died, I would be wondering if anyone would tell of my story. Fading to one with the night was practically the fate of those that were in the situation. It's like the don't wish to share their story and make themselves look good.

As you fade into the night (oh whoa oh oh)
Who will tell the story of your life (oh whoa oh oh)
And who will remember your last goodbye (oh whoa oh oh)
'Cause it's the end and I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid to die.
     It's one of those verses that's so cryptic like "what do I think about it?" but it's simply, darkness as fallen all around the person and they are wondering who will tell the person's spirit that they'll constantly think about them. But not many are like that at all. It's all within the willingness of the person to do so. It's saddening, I know. But some aren't afraid to die for real, which is not a bad thing....

As you fade into the night (oh whoa oh oh)
Who will tell the story of your life (oh whoa oh oh)
And who will remember your last goodbye (oh whoa oh oh)
'Cause it's the end and I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid to die.
     The repetition of the song is obvious in the song. But honestly, I know how it feels because when I think about, it's all psychological. Personally, I feel that right now because of what happened after I got back from my "homeless adventure" in California and he was too heartless to just come to me and just tell me. Which I don't blame anything like this but it just strikes as sensitive.

     This is one of their more cryptic songs which honestly, I love the song all the same. And due to the song being as cryptic to me, the analysis is also very cryptic as well. If you can explain the song better than I can, feel free to tell me in a 3 paragraph comment. thanks.

Thanks for reading,

Fallen Angels---- BVB

Song:

Scream, shout
Scream, shout,
We are the fallen angels

We are the in between, cast down as sons of war
Struck to the earth like lightning, on this world we're torn
We won't cause the pain, of living out their law
Take joy in who you are, we know our wings are flawed

We're bored to death in heaven
And all alone in hell
We only want to be ourselves

We scream (we scream), we shout (we shout)
We are the fallen angels
We scream (we scream), we shout
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh

To those who sing alone, no need to feel the sorrow,
We scream (We scream) we shout whoa,
We are the fallen angels

Follow the mourning star, a light when darkness fell
The passion left unholy, now you find yourself,
We have nowhere to go, no one to wish us well,
A cry to find our home, our stories they will tell

We're bored to death in heaven
And all alone in hell
We only want to be ourselves

We scream (we scream), we shout (we shout)
We are the fallen angels
We scream (we scream)
We shout, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh,

To those who sing alone, no need to feel the sorrow,
We scream (we scream) we shout whoa,
We are the fallen angels

[Instrumental]

Scream, shout, we are the fallen angels
Scream, shout, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh

We scream (we scream), we shout (we shout)
We are the fallen angels
We scream (we scream), we shout, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh

To those who sing alone, no need to feel the sorrow,
We scream (we scream), we shout whoa,
We are the fallen angels

We scream, we shout, we are the fallen angels,
We scream, we shout, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh,
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
We shout whoa, we are the fallen angels




Feeling:

     In the first verse when it's mentioned:

We are the in between, cast down as sons of war
Struck to the earth like lightning, on this world we're torn
We won't cause the pain, of living out their law
Take joy in who you are, we know our wings are flawed

     It's basically, we're not all perfect or well off. War is a plaguing aspect of everyday life. The second part of the first line "Cast down as sons of war" verifies such aspects of it all. Then when the lyrics go to the next lines, it shows how it's like living without being entirely "holy" or entirely "demonic" in the eyes of some people. I know that some people would think so but in my mind, we are not classified as just all "holy" or "demonic". In my thoughts, if you commit acts of kindness, you get a pardon to heaven, but if you acts of cruelty, you get a pardon to the underworld or some may say, hell. The last line: "Take joy in who you are, we know our wings are flawed" basically is saying one simple thing. It's saying one thing: "You're perfect with who you are. You know that your not entirely perfect and your wings are flawed, but it's not entirely the end of the world.

     Then again the song goes into greater detail..... let's dive deeper in the next verse:

We're bored to death in heaven
And all alone in hell
We only want to be ourselves

     Basically, like I was saying in the previous verse description, We're not entirely "holy" like in the first line and obviously has a bigger meaning to it. Of course, it was also basically another way of saying the same thing that all good motivational speakers tell you on the subject, "be yourself and you'll never be lead astray. Just follow your heart and you'll never be wrong". Some may think that they are all alone in the world alone, but it's only the person that thinks it that is really walking alone.

     I personally think that people have no hope but there is always a hope that is hidden.... you just need to find it:

Follow the mourning star, a light when darkness fell
The passion left unholy, now you find yourself,
We have nowhere to go, no one to wish us well,
A cry to find our home, our stories they will tell
     Basically, like this whole song is saying, follow who you truly are. You can't be someone else but yourself. Like the first line of this verse, "follow the morning star, a light when darkness fell". It's basically saying, with the darkness around you, follow the purest light that is in existence to show you who you are. If you don't follow that light in your soul to where you are to be, doubt will set in like a demon that is leading you on the wrong path. Even though nobody knows the truth, they won't be able to wish you well regardless. The pain from rejection and regret eats at you alive and nobody would care. We try to find were we will call home, but we have no hope..... But our stories would be told too late for our tastes.... the pain eats at us.

     Nobody would understand us. But those that do have no fear to be seen with us:

To those who sing alone, no need to feel the sorrow,
We scream (we scream), we shout whoa,
We are the fallen angels
    Some actually don't have those around us that will want to be seen to sing with the "outcasts" or the "emo" kids. But honestly, they're are just like everyone else. They have ambitions and wants too. I know how it feels because I was mistaken for one of those kids that dressed in all black. They have no shame in singing alone or doing anything alone. The pain gets to them, of course but it's to the point where they don't give a shit about it anymore. They're the angels that have fallen from heaven and such like the very first official verse of the song just seconds in the song...... When I first heard this song, my eyes opened..... my mind couldn't help but to grasp the thoughts and the message of the song. I'm so glad that I did.

     I personally think this is one of the best songs by Black Veil Brides. Andy Biserck did really well.

knives and pens----BVB

Alone at last we can sin and fight.
And I've lost all faith in this blurring light,
(Stay right here we can change our plight.
Storming through this despite what's right.)

One final fight for this tonight.
Whoa-oh-oh
With knives and pens we made our plight.
Whoa-oh-oh

Lay your heart down, the end's in sight.
Conscience begs for you to do what's right.
(Everyday it's still the same dull knife,
Stab right through and justify your pride.)

One final fight for this tonight.
Whoa-oh-oh
With knives and pens we made our plight.
Whoa-oh-oh

Well I can't go on without your love, you lost, you never held on.
(We tried our best. Turn out the light. Turn out the light!)

One final fight for this tonight.
Whoa-oh-oh
With knives and pens we made our plight.
Whoa-oh-oh

Feeling:

     It's basically saying that it's a fine line of ending it all and thriving...... Honestly, I know how it is because I've felt this way because of what's happened in my past....... Even in the very near past. From being beaten by my mom and what an ex had done to me, I'm surprised that I'm still alive but still hungry for reinsurance.... Sometimes I cry at night knowing how it feels for those that are just inches away from suicide. I was strong enough to not do so. I just wish that those that did the heinous act just stayed strong and just muscled through it like most of it....... I know I have depression, I know I want to kill myself, but I can't bring myself to do it. I just want to know that all those that were lost due to this horrible disorder are not forgotten.... And there is one that I want to never forget for as long as I can manage to live if he has committed suicide...... even though he's on my shit list, I will forever love him regardless of what he's done to me and regardless of the fights that we've had in the past........Ti amo per sempre. And I mean it.

Raised by wolves---- Falling in reverse

I was lost now I'm found
I'm sustained by the sound
Of the angels singing me to sleep
While my feet are leaving the ground
Am I dead? Or am I dreaming instead?
A cornucopia of opiates have flooded my head

I'm insane, I am smart
All it takes, is a spark, to ignite my bad intentions
And do what I do best to your heart
Don't be fooled, I was raised by the wolves
Now the moon hangs in full, so you know I won't
Play by the rules

I will never spill
Spill my blood for you
You have let me down
One too many times

Someway, somehow, we've fallen out
Caught in between my enemies
No way not now, I won't back down
I draw the line at you and me
You're what I started, now disregarded
One day they'll see, it was always me

Due to mistakes, I have made to the state
I am trapped inside a Dillinger
Diligently thinking of ways to get out of this god awful place
I have learned that my fate is something I can't escape so

Sound the alarm, what I've said from the start
Is I'll never let your system break me down or tear me apart
Don't be fooled, I was raised by the wolves
Now the moon hangs in full, so you know I won't
Play by the rules

I will never spill
Spill my blood for you
You have let me down
One too many times

Someway, somehow, we've fallen out
Caught in between my enemies
No way not now, I won't back down
I draw the line at you and me
You're what I started, now disregarded
One day they'll see, it was always me

Oh, this is the end of you
This is where I draw the line
And I won't lose
This war is mine
Oh!

Spill my blood for you
One too many times

Someway, somehow, we've fallen out
Caught in between my enemies
No way not now, I won't back down
I draw the line at you and me
You're what I started, now disregarded
One day they'll see, it was always me

One day they'll see
It was always me

It was always me


Feeling:
      It's what I feel to be like the guy was unwilling to keep on dealing with her bull and honestly, if it's worded like this, I wouldn't blame him. Basically, it's like, due to her bull, he's saying that his real self is coming out regardless of what they may think of him. He's not sure if he's really living or deceased...... The full moon is his true predecessor and knowing that, he completely turns into a monster that he can't control. His true animalistic instincts come out at the thought of all those times she messed up. I know how it is personally due to my now ex boyfriend of a few months was like that when we fought. It was like every time we fought a full moon would come up above our heads and he completely turns into an agitated monster......I wished that it wasn't like that but...... why would I wish that it would be over? I still thought I loved him and I trusted him, but apparently it was wrong.
      It was like we were two feuding wolves constantly at each other's throats...... I cry at night but I know that what I did, it was like I couldn't control it. The constant fights were all we knew honestly, but I couldn't stop it. There were times that I wanted to throw in the towel but I couldn't due to the fact that I knew that he needed me. But his wolf was way too strong to deal with and he just ripped me apart without me knowing about it and this wolf has found out that revenge and getting even was all that she could do........ But now, his fate is sealed.......

One---- Metallica

here's a song that seems to be....... a little odd...... Don't know how to put it right now. But you'll find out. I will make all the following video and photo additions in another page. You will get the song and the description from now on.

 

 

One:

 

I can't remember anything,

Can't tell if this is true or dream,

Deep down I feel to scream,

This is terrible silence stops me,

Now that the war is through with me,

I am waking up I can not see,

That there's not much left of me,

Nothing is real but pain now.

 

Hold my breath as I wish for death,

Oh please god, help me.

 

Back in the womb it's much too real,

In pumps life that I must feel,

But can't look forward to reveal,

Look to the time when I'll live,

Fed through the tube that sticks in me,

Just like a wartime novelty,

Tied to machines that made me be,

Cut this life off from me.

 

Hold my breath as I wish for death,

Oh please god help me.

 

Now the world is gone I'm just one,

Oh god, help me hold my breath as I wish for death,

Oh please god help me.

 

Darkness.

 

Imprisoning me,

all I see,

Absolute horror,

I cannot live,

I cannot die,

Trapped in myself,

Body my holding cell.

 

Landmine

 

Has taken my sight,

Taken my speech,

Taken my hearing,

Taken my arms,

Taken my legs,

Taken my soul,

Left me with life in hell.

 

 

 

what I think on the song:

 

          Honestly, what can I say about the song? Basically, the truth is said in a simple song with insanely awesome guitar riffs. Everything is basically what we have to deal with in life because it's like we are born, we live, then we die like the last 2 main verses. I mean, who wouldn't think that it's the truth. We're not immortal, and if we were, we will still see death all around us no matter what it would be. The first of the last two major verses:

 

 

Imprisoning me,

all I see,

Absolute horror,

I cannot live,

I cannot die,

Trapped in myself,

Body my holding cell.

 

It's basically saying: "we all die regardless of what it may be because we're not all hardened and needed to be broken down". which is the truth in the honest sense of the scenario. No matter what we think, we all are mortal in some way, shape, or form. That's basically all I have to say about it.

 

 

Thanks for reading. Until next time all you avid readers. :D

 

 

Until next time,

Master of Puppets-----Metallica

     All these blogs will have a few key components..... Lyrical/official vids (if one can't be found, no biggie), a band photo, lyrics, and my thoughts on the lyrics and the feel of the song. Enjoy! :D

.......I couldn't find the official video, but like I said, no biggie. :D now, enjoy the band photo. :D

Lyrics are as follow:

End of passion play,
Crumbling away,
I'm the source of your self-destruction.

Veins pump with fear,
Sucking darkness clear,
Leading on your death's constructions.
Taste me and you will see,
More is all you need
Dedicated to,
How I'm killing you.

Come crawling faster,
Obey your master,
Your life burns faster,
Obey your master,
Master.

Master of puppets,
I'm pulling your strings,
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams.

Blinded by me,
You can't see a thing,
Just call my name 'cause I'll hear you scream.

Master,
Master.

Just call my name cause I'll hear you scream,
Master,
Master.

Needle work the way,
Never you betray,
Life and death becoming clearer.

Pain monopoly,
Ritual misery,
Chop your breakfast on a mirror.

Taste me and you'll see,
More is all you need,
Dedicated to,
How I'm killing you.

Come crawling faster,
Obey your master,
Your life burns faster,
Obey your master,
Master.

Master of puppets,
I'm pulling your strings,
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams.

Blinded by me,
You can't see a thing,
Just call my name 'cause I'll hear you scream.

Master,
Master.

Just call my name 'cause I'll hear you scream,
Master,
Master, master, master, master.....

(bridge)

(First solo- James)

Master, master,
Promised only lies.

Laughter, laughter,
All I hear or see is laughter.

Laughter, laughter,
Laughing at my cries.

FIX ME!!!!!!!!!!!

(Second solo-Kirk)

Hell is worth all that,
Natural Habitat,
Just a rhyme without a reason.

Never ending maze,
Drift on numbered days,
Now your life is out of season.

I will occupy,
I will help you die,
I will run you through,
Now I rule you too.

Come crawling faster,
Obey your master,
Your life burns faster,
Obey your master.

Master.

Master of puppets,
I'm pulling your strings,
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams.

Blinded by me,
You can't see a thing,
Just call my name 'cause I'll hear you scream.

Master,
Master.

Just call my name cause I'll hear you scream,
Master,
master.

(outro, random laughter to fade)


Feelings:

      Honestly, this song is something that nobody wants to talk about which in my mind, I wouldn't blame them to be honest. Things depicted in the song like the first verse that goes:


End of passion play,
Crumbling away,
I'm the source of your self-destruction.

Veins pump with fear,
Sucking darkness clear,
Leading on your death's constructions.
Taste me and you will see,
More is all you need
Dedicated to,
How I'm killing you.

Come crawling faster,
Obey your master,
Your life burns faster,
Obey your master,
Master. Shows what I was thinking about with the "death" and "self destruction. In my mind, this song is basically saying "You have no choice but TO obey me because I have the ability to control what happens to you all together. But some enjoy doing this to others and those that get it in my mind enjoy having it done to them. But those that know what those that do that are up to, they won't have that happen to them. They're strong enough to prevent that but, everyone has their own breaking point. I know I do because there are some cases when I was the puppet and the user was the master puppeteer. Now that I learned what they are up to, I'm not going to let that happen to me again. Most won't learn, but others eventually will learn the error of their ways. But, human nature is what it is. Nobody can create a perfect human, if we could, we wouldn't have all the hell and war that we have.



          I will make a few pages with essays on every aspect of this song and many others if I can in the future. I hope you enjoyed this analyses.

 

 

 

Best wishes,

Wildkat (Mreow :D)
