This song means so much to me and to the whole Finland.. As u know HIM is from from Finland and this is for once a good song from a Finnish band! I don't like Darude and Bomfunk MC's that also are Finnish becouse there is no lyrics so the song does not mean anything to me! GO FINLAND!

this song kicks ass!

this song makes you really think about things. i mean come on "wont you die tonight for love, baby join me in death" that makes you think more than anything. this is a kickass song

i love it

pair of suicides. i think they're in love and there is something that prevents them from being together. so they think death will free them up and they'll be together forewer (what a crap!). P.S. song is really not bad. (i play it with my band)

reminds me of romeo and juliet. Very sad yet very beautiful

i'm listening to this right now, and i'm crying. it reminds me so much of my best friend. it's so beautiful.

This song is so beautiful! Its about a guy whos in love with a girl and he really wants to be with her. But he knows it would end somehow in this life, because this life is always about losses. So hes asking if she would die with him if she loves him enought. That way, they can be together forever in eternity.

SO GOOD, HIM HAS A LOT OF LOVE IN IT

This song is damn beautiful.. I listen to it at leas 10 times a day. I truely believe that Ville Valo is the sexiest man alive.

wickedbunny, bet you also cried when you found out he had a girlfriend? sad.. so sad.

him nearly sucks. this song is so.. ugh.

actually, my darling.. I'm not nearly as sad as you are dear. If you dont like them, why post on the lyrics page?

i love this song...him is so great

i think that somehow the person who worte knew that something sooner or later would make them part ways since they love each other so much he just thinks that the best they can do is die together for love...i think...
:):S:(:|:D:'( lolololololol

wickedbunny, "what does this song mean to you?" that's what it means to me. bunch of.. well, wickedbunnies. puss å kram.

i agree with wicked bunny ville valo is the sexiest man alive :), this is also one of my favourite HIM songs, its so beautifull, and sad :(

HIM is a fucking satanist... do u still like his songs now? It's just so funny noone knows that, and all the innocent people think he's so good and writes such good love songs and so on. Do u know who they are dedicated to? Well, u neva know.
And HIM means "His Internal Majesty"... if u still dont believe me, then it's your fuckall ignorance.

and Him also enjoys looking like a fucking woman. If u would have seen the "wicked Game" music video, you will surely not find him the sexiest man in the world anymore. Gross, he has these weird teeth, with huge gaps in them, and he looks like a ghost. Really, im not trying to be mean.

Face it.

yeah, cool song, really beautiful!

HIM is not a satanist you stupid bitch

HIM classifies their songs as love metal, and yes they are love song you dumb cock. the darker side of lyrics and song titles is just showing the the darker sides of relationships you fucking prick. end yourself.

don't know to much about HIM but, their lead singer is jewish and i think their drummer is too so...that would make no sense. and well they do write "metal love songs". and their name does stand for "His Internal Majesty" but that could mean Jesus or one of their idols or someone special to them. how you figure them satanic? i don't know. but you sound like my aunt pam, and well i know none of you know her or me for that matter but, damn. she's a crazy psycho, not making sense, think she knows everything, old fashioned, racist bitch, and etc. but yeah, that's my comment. hate on me, agree with me, or disregard this comment, i don't care.

WHY ARE 6 TO 8 AND GONEWITHTHESIN SUCH IGNORANTS.

U DONT KNOW IT ANY BETTER SO FACE THE TRUTH:

irt's not just the name....

His logo, is a up side down pentagram, just a bit changed, which is satanist. He has songs like "your sweet 666", "stigmata diabola"..... On his jacket it said "your prerry face is going to hell" and so on.
Dont be such a fucking ignorant. Accept the truth.
It is quite well known that he is a satanist.

and he doesn some slow love rock... so? He wants to earn money too, from 14 year old pricks, that dont go into artists life and get informed. If he just wrote santanistic songs he would make less money.

there is more to music then the melody and guitar solos, the meaning behind the lyrics and the artists own intention are most important, but u dont even go deep into the whole thing, which is sad....

enjoy ur hanson cds, and britney spears posters!

YOU STUPID STUPID BITCH!

SYMBOLS AND WORDS


"Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried, and if you want I'll try to love again...the first cut is the deepest... I know..."



Buddha cognac, Michael Eros...


These names are other nicknames of the band members, they´re not used oficially.

Buddha Cognac: Gas
Michael Eros: Migé (also Michael Erosina, Michael Fors)
"The new guy": Burton
Daniel Lioneye: Lily (also Danny)

The booklet of the new album also lists some more names, which can be assigned to the members like this if reading the whole text around it:


Don Vitto: probably Ville (Vitto= finn. "idiot", "a**" or even worse ;)
S. Ieni: probably Migé
Elvis: probably Lily (because of the voice)


Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell




Ville wore a coat on which this sentence was written among many others. It´s the title of a song and an album of Iggy Pop and his band Iggy and the Stooges. This quotation can also be found on a picture of David Bowie named "Mask", but this won´t be the reason for Ville writing it on his coat, cause he´s a fan of Iggy Pop.






You´ll find the lyrics here.
Radio advert for live show/Head on
Death trip
I got a right
Hard on beat
Cock in my pocket
Rubber legs
Johanna
Pin point eyes
Open up and bleed
Raw power
Tight pants

Poem said at the Comet 2001

irony in place of balls
balls in place of brains
brains in place of soul
where is the soul?
where is the love?
where am i?





Ville said this at the show of the Comet 2001 to the audience, after HIM got the price for "Viva2 Viewers Choice". They got the price from Iggy Pop, and those lines are from his song "Mask". HIM covered the song on a concert of their Germany-tour 2001. They admire him (s.a., "In Iggy we trust" in the booklet of the new album) and attracked attention by many acts of admiration.






"I hate myself & I want to die"




Ville gave this as answer in an interview when he was asked, what he likes about him and what not. It alarmed some fans, but there´s a simple explanation: the sentence is also the title of a song by Nirvana, that Ville quoted. He is not that discontent with himself and wants to die.


The idea of the album titles



Deep Shadows and Brilliant Highlights"
"Razorblade Romance"
"Greatest Lovesongs Vol. 666"




The idea of the album titles is, to build up a contrast and form something like a Yin and Yang, two opposites that somehow belong together. The first album shows the contrast of Love (Greatest Lovesongs) and Evil (Vol. 666), the second one Love (Romance) and Pain/Suffering (Razorblade) and the third one Light (Brilliant Highlights) and Darkness (Deep Shadows).


Helsinki Icehockey Maniacs



This name is another possibility to write out the abbrevation "H.I.M.". It was invented by the band, but propably not because of many icehockey-fans in the band. ;) "His Infernal Majesty" as right version was often misinterpreted and combined with Satan-worshipping, that´s why this funnier version was used as answer to the question, what the name "H.I.M." means, and it also was good for fooling moderators (e.g. at MTV Select).


"Funny Song"


Nickname for "Join me [in death]", used band-internal. I don´t know the reason for this name, but Ville often said, that the success of Join me has surprised him and that he doesn´t think it´s one of his best songs. He thinks it´s strange and funny, that just this song has caused such popularity in the Pop-biz.




"666 revisitied"


Original name of "Death is in love with us". The song is just as "Heaven Tonight" an exception on Razorblade Romance. It´s short and rough and reminds of the first album. To emphasize this similar sound, the "666" was used again like it often was on the first album, but not on the second. Later they found another name for the song.




("Heaven Tonight" was the last song that was written for RR, so it sounds more like those from the third album.)


"[OLT]"



Added to the song "The 9th circle", it means "One Last Time". Both songs have almost the same lyrics and only differ in the arrangements. "The 9th circle" is just another version of the song and is not on the normal, but only on the limited edition of the album.

Heartagram




Ville invented the heartagram, it´s a mix of a heart and a pentagram, standing for Love and Evil. It combines two contrasts, just as the album and some song titles do

oops i didnt mean to send all that but oh well

I dont know this band or song i just clicked on the latest comment and Anni i just want to tell u....6 to 8 posts on the ATDI boards as well. They are fucking retarded so its not just u who have noticed
