Deliver Us from Evil

Bullet for My Valentine

What's happening to me
I'm dying from the inside
Body hurts too much to feel
And pressure adds to pain
Deliver us from evil
Straying out of sanity

Why can't you let me be?
Is nothing else important?
Does my mind mean more to you?
'Cause if I carry on
Deliver us from evil
Screaming for your vanity

Will darkness turn to light?
Will darkness turn to light?
Can someone wake me from this nightmare?

Here we go
Here we go

The tank is empty; let it dry
I'm suffering, a passion ending
So the world ceases turning
The tank is empty; let it dry

So now I hope you see
I'm nothing more than human
Making plans for enemies
But here we go again
Deliver us from evil
Crawling back to insanity

Will darkness turn to light?
Will darkness turn to light?
Can someone wake me from this nightmare?

Here we go
Here we go

The tank is empty; let it dry
I'm suffering, a passion ending
So the world ceases turning
The tank is empty; let it dry
I'm suffering, a passion ending
So the world ceases turning
The tank is empty; let it dry
I'm suffering

What's happening to me
I'm dying from the inside
Body hurts too much to feel
And pressure adds to pain
Deliver us from evil
Through evil
Pressure adds to pain
We're evil
We're evil
We're evil

Will darkness turn to light?
Will darkness turn to light?
Can someone wake me from this nightmare?

Here we go
Here we go

The tank is empty; let it dry
I'm suffering

The tank is empty; let it dry
I'm suffering
A passion ending so the world ceases turning
A passion ending so the world ceases turning

    I must have listened to this at least 10 times over to transcribe the lyrics and yet I still 'aint totally sure what it is about. Lol.

    I have some abstract ideas. I imagine it is about feeling heart-broken. That is all I can say for certain at the moment.

    Anyone else?

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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
