Don't tell me why
I'm so near to commit a crime
When I stay alone here in front of you
(I'm here)

Illusion falls when you're not honest about the way I feel
I know I need only your voice

Saving all my words only for you
Forgive me
Saving all my words only for you
I don't know why

There's a limit to defy
With the vision of the future at my feet
(I'm here)

The night embrace me while
This picture simply blows me away
I feel I'll need only your voice

And I'm lonely here inside of me
Deep inside of me
Believe in the light in me

And I'm lonely here inside of me
Deep inside of me
Reveal the light in me

Saving all my words only for you
Forgive me

And I'm lonely here inside of me
Deep inside of me
Believe in the light in me

And I'm lonely here inside of me
Deep inside of me
I've never
Never felt myself this way before
I don't want to leave you with my fears
If you'll disappear

Believe in the light in me
Saving all my words only for you

Forgive me
Falling on knees only for you
Forgive me

    This song never made sense to me, until recently. I was especially confused by "Illusion falls when you're not honest about the way I feel." I thought there had been some grammatical error. But for me, this song is about two people. One or both of whom will not tell the other how he/she truly feels. There could be a fear that telling the other how he/she feels could ruin whatever relationship exists, especially since he/she depends on the other emotionally (saving all my words/falling on my knees only for you). This person is sorry for being so emotionally taxing, but he/she needs the other.

    So, much like Jefferson said. haha.

    "I'm so near to commit a crime." Maybe the crime is suicide? being a moral sin and all for some religion(s).

    Wait...what is this is about confessing? horror (me

Corpse I Fell In Love With
Gadjits, The
He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
