Your misery is worn as a veil
To hide bewitchment of the ugliest kind
In place of eve a bitter parody hails
Daggers from the swagger
Of a sodomite's concubine
Bine (Bine)

Gilded cunt
Oh, you gilded cunt

Your thin pretence overstretched and sickly
Feigns love and light a long time laid in the grave
My preference leans to killing you quickly
Scissored in the gizzard
That a heart no more maintains

But I am tied
To the labyrinth and the beast
The one-way track of eyes
Black and grey like panzers

Loose your shell
Shoot the mouth
The gates of hell
Have often dropped their jaws about
Satan's agents were perversion to bear
Side to side with their diversions
You use to guide my fingers there

Dirty little gold digger
Dirty little gold digger
Dirty little gold digger
Dirty little gold digger
Dirty little gold digger
Dirty little gold digger

Cunt (Cunt)
Gilded cunt
Oh, you gilded cunt
Cunt
Cunt

Nothing is above you save a boreal light
That halo paid for by a consummated ring of ice
And below you, will I see you tonight
Glower from your tower
Built of ivory and spite?

For I am torn
Between the sheets that keep me borne
And the teeth of a storm
They reap then rape my stanzas

Click your heels
Three times six
The stars are fixed
May I climb and get you one?
The palace at Versailles never held your tongue
Nor did heaven ever weather
The crosses that you came upon

Dirty little soul frigger
Dirty little soul frigger
Dirty little soul frigger
Dirty little soul frigger
Dirty little soul frigger
Dirty little soul frigger

Cunt (Cunt)
Gilded cunt
Oh, you gilded cunt
Cunt
Cunt

    I think cunt is an angry word...I like the word "fuck" better, cuz you can say the "F" word and it doesnt neccessarily have to sound angry...but have you ever heard "cunt" said (or said it yourself) without it sounding angry? Oh yeah, this is songmeanings...uhhh dunno what the song means, but Cradle kicks ass! Wooo! I'm gonna go over there now wanders off

    sodimite isnt a homosexual...sodomy is sex acts...a sodimites one who puts sex acts into practice...ok heres what I personally think it means-----

    OK first off, gilded cunt- gilded means like covered to look better...and a cunt is..in this usage- a very insulting name for a female.

    SO i think its about a girl, a gold digger, who looks good n seems all perfect, but really shes a selfish heartless bitch, just out to get what she wants, and uses her body to do it. like a gold-digger/whore in disguise.

    Daggers from the swagger Of the sodomite's concubine.

    daggers(not litteral) kinda like saying you were backstabbed. a swagger is like one of them bitches that act like they r king shit, sodomites concubine. sodomy=sex. concubine is like a girl that has sex with a guy, but isnt like married...or in this case 'commited' to the man. So basically dani (or the guy hes talking about) is giving into this girl, fuckin around with her, but keeps gettin daggers. (not litterally) ...its like sayin he keeps gettin burned.

    Your thin pretense overstretched and sickly, Feigns love and light a long time laid in the grave. My preference leans to killing you quickly, Scissored in the gizzard That a heart no more maintains.

    OK here- dani ( or the guy hes talkin about thats fuckin around with this girl, were just going to say its dani from now on..) ok so here^ dani is just not catching on to her... pretense is overstretched.. pretense is to act, normally to decieve someone.. and its overstretched... if u get a balloon, you cant see through it, but blow it up, it gets stretched out... you can see through it... so hes now catching on to her ways.. ''feigns of love and light'' shes faking love...but it lays in the grave.. because He knows it isnt true.. ""my preference leans into killing you quickly, scissors in the gizzard of a heart no more maintains"" dani knows shes heartless at this point...he wants to kill her, for the pain and hurt shes caused him, by deceiving him.... ok got it so far? next...

    But I am tied To the labryinth of the Beast The one way track of eyes Black and grey like panzers. ~~here hes saying he is tied, because hes lusting for her...he wants the sex...the beast(satan) tempts us with sex...dani is tempted...the beast(satan) is the next line is ONE WAY TRACK OF EYES he only see's one thing..one thing on his mind..the lust.. (lust for you that dont know is simply a craving of something, ex. a guy wanted to fuk a girl..he doesnt love her, he lusts for her) black and grey like panzers .. again- like the saying ''you only see things in black and white'' --AKA a one track mind...lust.

    Loose your shell, Shoot the mouth, The gates of Hell Have often dropped their jaws about. Satan's agents are perversions to bear. Side to side with the diversions You use to guide my fingers there. ~~basically saying that he confronted her, or wanted to, or tried to...'break it off' with her..for lack of better words, but satans agents are perversions, the lust for that body.. and the next part ''Side to side with their deversions, you used to guide my fingers there'' can be two things.. either A: She destracted him from his flee of escaping the hold of lust she had on him...by a derversion- Her body. she would guide his fingers to her.. OR more litteral- B: Side to Side with the deversions... Opend up her legs..guided his fingers there... as a deversion, tokeep him under her controll. i know when a hot girl grabs my hand n guides it down between her legs...i aint goin NOWHERE..atleast not for 30-40 minutes ;-) ok ok ok- 1-2 minutes, and thats including tha after-sex ciggerette :-( lol OK but yeah anyway..

    NOw.--Nothing is above you save a boreal light. That halo paid for by a consumnated ring of ice. And below you, I will see you tonight. Glower from your tower, Built of ivory and spite.

    
    consummated was spelled wrong up there by the way, i think so cuz this spelling makes scence..cuz it means to close a deal...or like..achive something uv been trying to get.. so she got everything by consummanting a ''ring of ice'' which means..maybe marraige? HOWEVER, she just did it for the 'gold' not for the love...hence ring of ice...ice melts..she doesnt plan to be in this marrage forever..or even long..  ok-- and --- 'and below you i will see you tonight, glower from your tower built of ivery n spite'' WHICH i interpret as- shes going to be on top of him..sex..? hmm? makes sence... shes riding his d*ick, thats her tower...its built of ivory n spite, cuz he hates her, but he cant give her up. the sex. the lust. the evil. shes glowing down at him, cuz she never liked him, she just wants the good, and he knows that, but he cant give up the sex. shes has him hooked. good so far? oh it gets better...later he changes is aggression from her to someone else..mwhaha but we'll get to that. ANYWAY lets continue...next 
    
    For I am torn,
    Between the sheets that keep me borne,
    And the teeth of a storm,
    That reap and rend my stanzas.
    ~~hes torn, between the sheets 
    that keep him borne (borne forced to tolerate)
    aka hes tollerating what shes doing because of the sex AND FINALLY next
    
    Click your heels,
    Three times six,
    The stars are fixed,
    May I climb and get you one?
    The palace at Versailles never held your tongue,
    Nor did Heaven ever weather
    The crosses that you came upon.
    ~~~ this is the part i get confused, i studied it for about 2 hours, and i came up with so many hypothisis
    but lets try this... she pretends to be this super divine girl, has her halo n hes saying click your heels three times..(on wizard of ozz, the good witch gave dorathy the magic slippers..click heels 3 times..) 666 is the devils number , the stars are fixed, means the time is now- may i climb n get you one = is there anything i can do for you?? i need sex! the palace is known because a long time ago some treaty was signed to end the evil of war--- n hes saying it never held her tongue because she isnt stopping the evil she does to him... n heaven never helped him by earasing the ''good' he saw in her.. he thought the sex was a blessing , like she was sent by God with crosses..n when somethings weathered, its basically degrading-but the crosses were fake n heaven (GOD) never helped him to see the truth by taking away the fake crosses... so now hes mad at GOD for fukin up his soul. Soul frigger. 
    
    ANYWAY thats my opinion, if theres anythin anyone wants to Add to it or take away from it, im all ears. Id like to hear anyone elses interpretations also, or comments on mine..so keep it posted!
    
    Im going to do other cradle songs too, but it will take a while...im only going to do the songs that rock.. only the good ones..only the ones i like... and it will take a while to do EVERY CRADLE SONG so bare with me :)  MYSPACE-- /ilovemichellie    aim-tripfallouch

    "dirty little gold friggar" is supposed to be "dirty little soul figgar" whoever posted these lyrics cant understand the artist and shouldnt be trying. This song imo is based on the pope. He hides behind his golden crown looking perfect to hide the truth. The second paragraph is describing his appearence... hes old, its also saying that he gives a falses appearnce of love and light but will just rot in his grave like all others. He finishes by saying he would like to kill the pope and by the lyrics he is harming him. next part is about him staying away from relgions because he feels they are all false. The 3rd is stating that the pope is hiding and saying things that are making artist "drop his jaw" "You used to guide my fingers there" is saying that relgion has become corrupt and they are guiding the people in the wrong direction. Gold digger comment is saying how they are taking peoples money to make the leaders golden thrones and such. "Nothing is above you" That linked me to the pope considering everyone considers him the most holy living person. "glower from yuor tower" is saying that he sits up above like he is all holy and calls his people sinners and is living in disgust at them even though he himself is a liar. next part agian saying how hes keeping away from them. I made the connection "click your heels" to do with goverment, the catholics are fighting wars for god that dont seem needed. "the stars are fixed" I feel the author is saying that the positions in heaven are filled and the next line is saying would you like me to take one so you can have a spot in heaven. The palace of versailles is famous for kings having mistresses unknown to their queens. I think this is saying that hes saying that sex is a sin but hes not only allowing it but may have taken part in it as a youth. and the final lines "heaven ever weather the crosses that you came upon" is saying that god and his angels are hating the fact that they are all bearing the symbol of the cross... if you were jesus would you like to come back and see the thing that appearntly you were killed upon? didnt think so, the final line "stupid little soul friggar" is saying he is corrupting his people by leading them in the wrong direction. "gilded cunt" is just making a comment on how he is always wearing such nice garments and jewelry, taking peoples money for this. By just reading the lyrics a female comes to mind, if you look more in depth it makes sense that its about jesus, but if you think about how everything in the song connects with the pope then it seems to be obvious answer. Put your imput and what you think the song is about, im anxious to hear what you think.

    This song refers to a spoiled dominatrix. A conniving, devious reptile who lives the life of luxury at the expense of others. Beneath the glitter of her expensive jewelry, she is no more than the tendered mutton dressed up as a lamb.

    Did sithspawN ever think that, for all the reasons he mentioned, it was directed at god himself? "Glower from your tower, Built of ivory and spite." in Heaven torn asunder, dani says "invasions scale babels ivory towers". the tower of babel was meant to be a tower built up to god.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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."
