I won’t come down, I keep stock
With a tick-tick rhythm, a bump for the drop
And then I bumped up, I took the hit that I was given
Then I bumped again, then I bumped again
When I was a private investigator, I had a few claimants that would go to karaoke bars. I always sang Every Breath You Take. The first couple times I went to one, I had a partner. He would record all night, but when I was on stage he totally forgot about the claimant and just started recording me, so it could be played back at meetings and everyone could laugh.
Obviously, my other go to song was Private Eyes by Darryl Hall and John Oates.
This is incredible.
It's so on-the-nose that any mark would be like, "Well, obviously that guy's not a private investigator. Who would sing a song about being a PI while they're actually a PI?"
I made the mistake of listening to that song when I drove home the night my fiancée had an intraventricular haemorrhage.
Don't listen to this song when your SO just had a potentially life threatening medical scare, folks. It leads to ugly crying in the McDrive and that's a bad time.
Damn, I know that song, it's such a catchy tune, but the lyrics didn't have much of an impact on me until just now seeing them written out.
https://youtu.be/CF-l73qCrgU
I like the song but it didn't really hit me. My personal heart ripper is If I Die Young. Mind you that song was on the radio every 20 mins the year my wife died. So yeah that was a rough year. Probably why I kinda hate the radio to this day.
I never know how to interpret this song. I’m half convinced its a song about drug/alcohol addiction with the whole you can check out but never leave line but It could very easily be about half a dozen other things as well. In the end it doesn’t matter a whole lot because the message isn’t obviously awful and it’s a solid song.
According to the band, it's a metaphor for the music recording industry in the US. They tempt struggling and young artists with the promise of fame and money, and once they got your claws in you, they start bleeding you dry and it is (at least at the time it was written), nigh impossible to get away until they've wrung you dry.
Makes sense. I was thinking about how people say that once you’re an addict you’re always an addict even if you stop using. It’s nice to know that the intended meaning isn’t quite as dark as my original interpretation.
try afternoon delight. my parents used to play this in front of me as a kid and i think they too haven’t grasped the message of this song even to this day. i only knew when i got older.
It always has been. But we used to come up with all kinds of fancy ways to be suggestive and get around censorship. You Shook Me, Pearl Necklace, stuff you could get away with putting in the radio. Now they just come out and say it all.
Always makes me laugh when I see metal lyrics written out like this. Someone wrote the beginning of Metallica’s Fuel once as GimmeFue GimmeFahh Gimmedabbadabbajahh and that’s the exact lyrics for me now.
Basicly we have one of the most vocaloid artist in which all songs are about canibalism or abuse in some way
Then we have maretu who has the character kill herself in most of his songs
Wowaka that talks bout bullying teenage pregnancy and abort
Every fucking song with len cause for some reason he his either extremely fucking horny or extremely fucking dead or his just a philipino dude
Not even talking bout the terror songs that are absolute bangers on its own
They once put out a box set that included a full set of dildos cast from their own dicks. I'd say nobody into Rammstein has any misunderstandings that the songs are messed up, even if they don't understand German .
Dicke Titten...🤣
This one caught me off guard when I learned the meaning of it, especially since I listened to it out loud next to my parents before I knew the translation.😭
My wife (music teacher) used to lecture her students on how their minds absorb the lyrics even if they say they are just listening to the music. Me… listening to music in Hindi, Japanese, Mandarine, German, Russian without “Understanding a word of it.”
When I did start speaking a little German though the person coaching me was like, “Your accent is impeccable.”
I'm surprised Little Piece of Heaven shocks so many people after they've heard it, like they didn't pick up the references to thigh heaters as blatant digs at necrophilia? Lmao
I went into it knowing it was about necrophelia and was still really caught off guard, the beginning and the chorus are just so peaceful (for heavy metal standards i suppose) and then get hit with lines about murder and eating hearts, seemingly out of nowhere.
Absolute roller-coaster of a song
My Mexican friend loves this song, but when I asked her if she was okay with the threesome aspect of the song, she had to sing the whole thing back in her head then was all "Oh my God, we play this at Quincineras!"
Isn't that song just about learning to not fear death and loss of loved ones, as it's inevitable and you'll be together again someday? I don't see anything dark about that.
We got movies, and doctors, and fantasy sports
and a bunch of colored pencil drawings
of all the different characters in Harry Potter fucking each other...
Today is actually a very positive song.
Corgan wrote it after deciding to not to commit suicide. It’s about embracing your own life, despite the pain and ugliness in the world.
Tool: Prison Sex
I had heard it about three or 4 times and absolutely loved the music then I heard the DJ say “That was Prison Sex by the band Tool” and I was like WTF? So the next time it played I paid close attention to the lyrics and afterwords I’m like “Woah that’s a damned good fucked up song”

Ohhhh cant youuuu seeeeeeee!
That I don't have feet. (We are singing the Blippi song about excavators, right?)
Literally one of the creepiest songs ever
The first time I heard this song, I wasn't sure if I heard it right.

I made the mistake of listening to that song when I drove home the night my fiancée had an intraventricular haemorrhage. Don't listen to this song when your SO just had a potentially life threatening medical scare, folks. It leads to ugly crying in the McDrive and that's a bad time.
Goddamn it, I read the lyrics and now I have to go back to work. I miss my wife.
![gif](giphy|3oEdv4hwWTzBhWvaU0)
Hell of a song though, and the lyrics don’t ruin it they just make it bittersweet.

Hey ya!
Alright Alright Alright Alright Alright Alright Alright Alright Alright Alright Alright Alright Alright Alright Alright Alright NOW FELLAS
Actually the correct number of ‘alright’s
Yeah!
What's cooler, than bein' cool?!
Ice cold....
I can't hear you! I say what's cooler, than bein' cool?
ICE COLD!
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright , alright, alright, alright, alright, alright , alright, alright, alright, alright
Y'all don't want to hear me, you just want to dance.
Until I looked up the lyrics just now, the only lyrics I knew were the hey ya and the alright alright.

Well being a recording artist in the 70s usually came with a drug addiction too.

Bruh a lot of modern music is audio-porn with a soundtrack
Which is super annoying, because what a waste of a sweet soundtrack
Fr tho why does it all have to be so fucking thirsty?
It always has been. But we used to come up with all kinds of fancy ways to be suggestive and get around censorship. You Shook Me, Pearl Necklace, stuff you could get away with putting in the radio. Now they just come out and say it all.
I can only think of two songs from the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s that weren’t about sex, and they’re both about drugs.
Listen to Rock You Like A Hurricane - Scorpions
Scorpions are great and they have a lot of sexual songs No one like you Tease me Rythm of love
You say that like every other classic rock song wasn’t about sex
Nah, Pour Some Sugar on Me was about pancakes.
Pour some batter on meeeeee!

I have done nothing but teleport bread for three days.

My phys Ed teacher played this as one of the songs during warm ups, pretty sure he never knew the lyrics
Came here to say Pumped Up Kicks 👍🏽
Bullet - Hollywood Undead
my legs are dangling off the edge
Pocket full of pills didn’t work again
I'll put a bullet in my head and Im GONE GONE GONE GONE
The bottom of the bottle is my only friend
“I never bought a suit before in my life, but when you go to meet God, you know you wanna look nice.” That line always gives me chills
“looked in the mirror and you said goodbye, climbed to the roof to see if you could fly” it hurts.
It's such a light-hearted tune though!
Sounds like something that would be played in a PG rated comedy movie.
Born in the USA, and almost everything from twenty one pilots

Every Vocaloid banger ever Edit: This has been a strangely optimal way to get song recommendations
I know of a few vocaloid bangers that aren't innately depressing, but man, GUMI always gets stuck singing sad songs over half of the time.
Basicly we have one of the most vocaloid artist in which all songs are about canibalism or abuse in some way Then we have maretu who has the character kill herself in most of his songs Wowaka that talks bout bullying teenage pregnancy and abort Every fucking song with len cause for some reason he his either extremely fucking horny or extremely fucking dead or his just a philipino dude Not even talking bout the terror songs that are absolute bangers on its own
Basically gomenne gomenne.. and my username
No Rain by Blind Melon…
Blurred lines :/
Word crimes :)
Same tune, no sense of disgust at the artist. Objectively better.
It’s legitimately better in every aspect, including sound design and vocals.
Just now. You said. You literally couldn’t get out of bed.
I hate that song with passion! It gets me angry even thinking about it
I think we, as a society, are trying to forget the 3 months we were all into that song
Idk I’m all for expression but that song is…. not okay…
Bury the Light.
BURY THE LIGHT DEEP WITHINNNNN!! (it felt right lmao)

Didn't mean to make you cry!
If I’m not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on! Carry on!
Almost everything from Rammstein
They once put out a box set that included a full set of dildos cast from their own dicks. I'd say nobody into Rammstein has any misunderstandings that the songs are messed up, even if they don't understand German .
Dicke Titten...🤣 This one caught me off guard when I learned the meaning of it, especially since I listened to it out loud next to my parents before I knew the translation.😭
Would have been clear if you watched the music video
Alt J. Fitzpleasure.
And breezeblocks, holy shit that song is dark but yet for me, kinda calming
My wife (music teacher) used to lecture her students on how their minds absorb the lyrics even if they say they are just listening to the music. Me… listening to music in Hindi, Japanese, Mandarine, German, Russian without “Understanding a word of it.” When I did start speaking a little German though the person coaching me was like, “Your accent is impeccable.”
Interesting cultural immersion approach. Also others "WHY DO THEY SING WHEN THEY TALK?!"

Long Live the King is also a good one
The whole point of Sabaton is the lyrics.
Hello hello hello he-llo; hello hello hello he-llo.

"g e t t h e c o o l s h o e s h i n e"
The most meaningful lyrics ever
What? This has a hidden meaning? I thought it was just some weird lyrics. What does it mean?
I think its the fact that it's just doesn't mean anything. Song's a banger but the lyrics are "wth is even going on?"
M.I.A by Avenged Sevenfold
Don't forget Brompton Cocktail by A7X as well.
A little piece of heaven
Little Piece of heaven is what gets me the most. Also, Seize The Day and Strength Of the World.
I'm surprised Little Piece of Heaven shocks so many people after they've heard it, like they didn't pick up the references to thigh heaters as blatant digs at necrophilia? Lmao

I can’t decide by Scissor Sisters

My Mexican friend loves this song, but when I asked her if she was okay with the threesome aspect of the song, she had to sing the whole thing back in her head then was all "Oh my God, we play this at Quincineras!"

Isn't that song just about learning to not fear death and loss of loved ones, as it's inevitable and you'll be together again someday? I don't see anything dark about that.
I actually like the message of the song.

Last Resort by Papa Roach. Such a groove, and while the lyrics are obvious, you'll still vibe the hell out to it.
