Asherdelampyr -> Not sure what to make of it (6/15/2008 4:14:17 AM)

Ok, so I am a huge fan of music, I listen to many different bands, and do so constantly, recently I've been listening to a band called "The Tossers" a lot and a particular song caught me somehow, so I listened to it again, and every time I listen to it I get a different feeling from the lyrics, almost as though there are multiple meanings for the song

reading these lyrics, what do you all think? (song is called Shade BTW)

The thunder cracks at the hills and plains,
The rain does lash at your window pane.
I am the ghost of your past refrain,
I’m your conscience, let me in, let me in,
I’m your conscience, let me in.

You cannot bear to go on this way,
You’ve passed many trials,
But still you sway,
You know that something has to change,
And it’s weak to sit in blame, let me in.
Oh it’s weak to sit in blame.

No, You cannot bear to go on this way,
You’'ve passed many trials,
But still you sway,
You know that something has to change,
Or like me soon you’ll be a ghost, let me in,
Or soon you’ll be a shade.

Sounds like a jilted lover saying "You''ll regret it. You need me to survive"

Sound to me like someone who feels guilty about what they have done and know they need to change.

thanks for the responses so far

One of the reoccuring thoughts that crop up when I listen to this song is that it is about getting off of your ass and doing something, rather than just thinking about how much you should do it

Wish I could find a video or something, but I cant... the internets has failed me :(

Possible if it’s a schizophrenic guilty person or it's someone that knows someone is guilty of a injustice and is nagging them.

If it helps any, the temple is like a funeral march... I never got the idea of it being a lover scorned, or even really being 2 people, mainly from that last line

"Or like me soon you’ll be a ghost, let me in,
Or soon you’ll be a shade."

To me it sounds like the writer has regrets about something in their past that they have not come to terms with, and the guilt/angst is causing them to not be true to themself.

I kinda got that too, was wondering if I was the only one

anyone else have any thoughts?

Here is another one:

I remember the rosary, the Catechism, and the stations of the cross, the plenary indulgence and i know it isn't this.
Depression and nightmares and panic through and through.
Although i have been successful, there is always more to do.
There are many things i know i have done to help me to survive, but i will never tell anyone as long as i am alive.
It seems at times there is no way out, not any to escape, because of abuse and turmoil and trauma and of rape.
I feel eyes upon me every minute of the day, hiding all around me, i turn my head away.
I've seen them in my bedroom when i am exhausted and done.
I've been seeing them for years, but i've never told anyone.
I am walking into doors and walls 'cause i am not all there.
I've split from a reality, of what i didn't want to share.
I can tune out conversations and with what the outside world is.
Then sex just didn't matter in my relationships.
You can't rely on feelings when love and trust is first betrayed.
I enter sexual situations, i didn't even want to make.
'Cause i was anxious, i was bored, or any non-sexual need.
When abuse is matched with affection or protection it misleads.
I say, "Drop what you do and listen, 'cause now it's me that calls the shots."
This is the sign of a life out of control adults.
I sometimes drink to oblivion, in spite of what i know.
I sometimes create chaos anywhere i go.
Always anxious, always have to move to help me to forget feelings of little value or humiliation yet.
Because there was no one there for me, i expect people to leave.
So, i repeatedly test them and this is what you've done to me.
I know they way i've overworked myself has turned out positively
and that many other people don't have my opportunities, but goodness, yeah, you can make it.
You are well on your way to heal, because you already know it, and you already know the deal.
You are not alone, this is sadism, and this is not your fault.
And who would choose to live through this, so it is not yours at all, and you know this was given to you,
so let's put it out of your home and you know that this is not yours, and you are not alone.
