Shinedown – Burning Bright Lyrics | 17 years ago |
I feel like there is no need for conversation (he doesnt want to talk about it, no need) Some questions are better left without a reason (because there some things that cant be explained) And I would rather reveal myself than my situation (he would rather talk about hismelf, then the state of confusion he is in) Now and then I consider, my hesitation (he thinks about why he doesnt act, make a choice, a path) The more the light shines through me I pretend to close my eyes (The more he feels God, the more he looks away) The more the dark consumes me I pretend I'm burning, burning bright (likewise, when the enemy comes, and tests him, he acts if he is of the light) I wonder if the things I did were just to be different To spare myself of the constant shame of my existence (did he sin, solely because he wanted to look away from the real reason he was born, to pick a path) And I would surely redeem myself in my desperation Here and now I'll express, my situation (he would save himself if he could.) There's nothing ever wrong but nothing's ever right Such a cruel contradiction. (the paths are not clear to him, is evil good and good evil?) I know I cross the lines its not easy to define I'm born to indecision (he cant grasp just what each path leads to, the light leads to? and the dark leads to? In a state of confusion, one might think the dark path is the fun and therefore best pick) There's always something new some path I'm supposed to choose With no particular rhyme or reason (he see's the paths, new each day, and not sure why he should pick either. . . therefore his situation which he did not want show us, is that he knows he has to pick, but hasnt as of yet.) Put the bong down and PICK ONE DAMN IT! |

Buckcherry – Alone Lyrics | 17 years ago |
It is either God/Jesus Christ talking to someone, about the state of their soul, and how Satan is going to fall. . . or he is talking to a bitch about how much he loves her and willing to "go for it" |
Shinedown – Burning Bright Lyrics | 17 years ago |
The more the light shines through me I pretend to close my eyes The more the dark consumes me I pretend I'm burning, burning bright (Clearly to me an others at least is the writter is struggling between the light and the darkness. . . but seems to not full engage in either or. . . The more the "light shines through him" the more he closes his eyes "eyes are the windows of the soul btw, atleast in a biblical standpoint. The more the darkness "evil" consumes him, the more he pretends its not there, and acts if all is okay. ) I wonder if the things I did were just to be different To spare myself of the constant shame of my existence And I would surely redeem myself in my desperation Here and now I'll express, my situation (He looks at his "being" as a whole and is ashamed, part of the light "goodness" shining through him, telling him he has done wrong, and now he would surely "redeem" himself, if he could and then expresses once again his "plight" in this fight over light "good" and darkness "evil" from within. There's nothing ever wrong but nothing's ever right Such a cruel contradiction. (Again, not of either side, the light or the darkness, not right or wrong) I know I cross the lines its not easy to define I'm born to indecision (But he knows he has cross the line "of no return") There's always something new some path I'm supposed to choose With no particular rhyme or reason (And he has to pick his path, "good or evil" but can't seem to make sense or reason enough to pick either yet, hence the "I'm born to indecision" line as well. Just another way to see it, the "light" way. . . bahahaha! KingJehu |
Alice in Chains – Man In The Box Lyrics | 17 years ago |
Oh Pleaseeeeeeee. . . The song is clearly about the songwriter/actor being DEAD!! SSHhhhhhh I'm the man in the box Buried in my shit (DEAD and buried in his shit/sin/mistakes) Won't you come and save me, save me (And asking Christ to save him) Feed my eyes, can you sew them shut? (He was lead by sight and not faith and asking Christ to sow then eyes shut) Jesus Christ, deny your maker He who tries, will be wasted (You deny Christ, you denie your maker, and if you try you will be wasted JUST like him, the man in the box, buried in his own shit) Feed my eyes now you've sewn them shut I'm the dog who gets beat Shove my nose in shit Won't you come and save me, save me (Woe is the writer, complaining he was always the down trodden in life, like the dogs) KingJehu |
System of a Down – Aerials Lyrics | 17 years ago |
The song is about Angels, God, Christ and the Holy Spirit "Aerials, in the sky" "Life is a waterfall, We're one in the river, And one again after the fall." (Baptised in the river, then falling from grace) Swimming through the void We hear the word, We lost ourselves, But we find it all? (There the void of life we still hear the word, and lose it, only to find it again) Aerials, in the sky, When you lose small mind, You free your life. (Stop using mans mindset and free your life.) Aerials, so up high, When you free your eyes, Eternal prize. (Christians live by faith and not sight alone, as we are told, free your mind to the possiblities of there being "Aerials in the Sky" and you might gain an Eternal prize) KingJehu |
3 Doors Down – When I'm Gone Lyrics | 17 years ago |
There's another world inside of me that you may never see There's secrets in this life that I can't hide Somewhere in this this darkness there's a light that I can't find Maybe it's too far away or maybe I'm just blind Or maybe I'm just blind (He is looking for the light within himself, and asking the light within to hold him when he is not totally within the light, i.e. Christ, God, Holy Spirit, etc etc. ) |
Metallica – The Outlaw Torn Lyrics | 17 years ago |
And know I wait my whole lifetime... for you And know I wait my whole lifetime... for you (Something he has wanted his whole lifetime) I ride the dirt; I ride the tide... for you (Someone) I search the outside, search inside... for you (He looks in the world, and within himself) To take back what you left me (He finds someone has left him something inside, but lost it, and now wants it back, so he searches) I know I'll always burn to be No one seeks so I may find And now I wait my whole lifetime (No one else seeks for him or can so he waits, wanting) Outlaw of Torn Outlaw of Torn And I'm Torn (An outlaw, rebel, torn between doing what is within the outlaws nature, and this thing he searches for) So on I wait my whole lifetime... for you So on I wait my whole lifetime... for you The more I search, the more my need... for you The more I bless, the more I bleed... for you (The more he looks for this someone, the more the need is to find the someone) You make me smash the clock and feel I'd rather die behind the wheel Time was never on my side (Time is running out in this search and he feels just like giving up the search, again torn) So on I wait my whole lifetime Outlaw of Torn Outlaw of Torn Outlaw of Torn And I'm Torn Hear me And if I close my mind in fear Please pry it open (He is asking the someone to hear him, and to open his mind to the someone that hears) See me And if my face becomes sincere Beware Hold me (If he acts like he is being heard, he might not believe it anyone, so he is asking the some to hold him to help him keep believing in the somone) And when I start to come undone Stich me together Save me (If he turns back to his outlaw ways and unbelief in the someone that hears him, he wants the someone to help him get it back together, then he wants the someone to save him) And when you see me strut Remind me of what left this outlaw Torn (And if he shows pride, he is asking the someone to knock him off his high horse and remind him of just what made him tear away from his outlaw ways) Make what you will of it, thats pretty much a walked down of the way alot of people see it, and as for any claims of James or anyone saying it means this or it means that, you'll have to bring me the cited publication/show/recording ect ect . . . To the writter is a sinner, torn between sin and Christ, has felt Christ inside in the past, and yet feels lost or torn between sin and Christ and is pleading to Christ to remind him of way he was torn away from being an outlaw in the first place.

Soundgarden – Outshined Lyrics | 18 years ago |
(It's about a preacher/priest etc etc losing his faith.) I got up feeling so down I got off being sold out (Feels like it's all been a lie) I've kept the movie rolling But the story's getting old now (He keeps up the preaching, but wants evidence, it's getting old to him) I just looked in the mirror Things aren't looking so good I'm looking California And feeling Minnesota (He looks and see's a warm happy and sunny person, but feels cold like Minnesota) So now you know, who gets mystified Show me the power child, I'd like to say That I'm down on my knees today (Telling God, so now you know i'm losing my faith, show me this power child you sent to save us, I'll even get down on my knees and pray) It gives me the butterflies, gives me away Till I'm up on my feet again I'm feeling outshined (He feels a bit of the love of Christ inside, till he is able to stand on his own feet/faith again, he feels "otshined" by God and Christ, They have shown Him enough.) Someone let the dogs out They'll show you where the truth is (Somebody let the people of sin out, the non-believers, which the bible calls "dogs" and they'll show you the truth so they say) The grass is always greener Where the dogs are shedding (Because the grass is always better on the other side of the fence, where the dogs sin/play/party. . . they want him to some on over to their side) I'm feeling that I'm sober Even though I'm drinking I can't get any lower Still I feel I'm sinking (He's falling for it, sin, and has fallen to a new low, as low as you can go, yet he gets lower. . . so he calls out to God to be shown the "power child" that he himself preaches about) So now you know, who gets mystified Show me the power child, I'd like to say That I'm down on my knees today It gives me the butterflies, gives me away Till I'm up on my feet again I'm feeling outshined (OR it could be about being jumked out on meth/horse, main lining, puking up, and the dope not taking effect anymore, take your pick :) |
