WTF, these lyrics don't make a lick of sence.
You know, there are those songs that sound fucking the awesome. I know I said fucking the awesome. Anyhow, they sound great, but then you listen to the lyrics, and you have no idea what the hell they are talking about...happens a lot in metal. Anyhow, I've been listening to Holy Diver, good sound, but seriously, what the fuck.
Holy Diver You've been down too long in the midnight sea Oh what's becoming of me Ride the tiger You can see his stripes but you know he's clean Oh don't you see what I mean Gotta get away Holy Diver Shiny diamonds Like the eyes of a cat in the black and blue Something is coming for you Race for the morning You can hide in the sun 'till you see the light Oh we will pray it's all right Gotta get away-get away Between the velvet lies There's a truth that's hard as steel The vision never dies Life's a never ending wheel Holy Diver You're the star of the masquerade No need to look so afraid Jump on the tiger You can feel his heart but you know he's mean Some light can never be seen Discuss |

Feel free to add to the list of cool ass lyrics that don't seem to mean anything.

Such sordid words have fallen into deaf ears. A mind ignored in swollen form and without fear. Today I show my face and whispers turn to screams, visions of what might have been and what will never be. Conforming to rejection, and its coexisting pain until abnormal is routine, and it's routine to tolerate. The scars are imbedded, lost in translation, spoken too softly, or maybe you didn't hear me. Carved in reflection, the beast in the beauty, loathing and glistening, or maybe you weren't listening. So where will you run when the sky starts falling? When your home is nowhere to be found? Will you remain unscarred beyond relentless crawling when your world comes tumbling down? Today I showed my face and whispers turned to screams, Visions of what might have been and what will never be. Cause and effect, and ignorance is bliss. Words can be weapons if that is what you wish. Pause and reflect with the blade at your wrist. The silence is deafening and screams all of this…

Going back to personifying heroin as the subject in question, "you can feel his heart" goes back to the main character's addiction--he's having withdraws. He can feel the urge coming back on. "You know he's mean", obviously, the holy diver character knows that he needs to abstain because of what all heroin's already gotten him into. The last line is probably alluding to the fact that, despite staying off of it, he's still going to jail for it. His purity will remain unwitnessed, his sobriety will remain contested. Life's a never ending wheel, that's how it goes, shit happens, etc. |

And if you think that's crazy, I can explain how "Evil" by Interpol is about masturbating.

Some people have speculated that the entire song is actually about the band--four verses, four Beatles? I think the order might've gone Ringo, George, John, Paul, if you're keeping score.
It was originally written for Timothy Leary's attempt at becoming a California governor, but was later rewritten when Leary was busted for pot. Take that as you will. |

It's by no means the only interpretation, of course, but I got a chuckle out of it. Keep in mind the name of the song--and the old taboos concerning masturbation being "evil," or at least something that you should be ashamed of/feel guilty for.

Just the song. Some of it kinda makes sense at the last moments of christ...but not all of it. Probably more just to sound cool while being an abstract view of the last moments of christ. It don't know who Elisabeth Bathory.

I can't figure out what song meanings are. How is Raining Blood last moments of Jesus Christ? I don't see it at all. The only thing that makes sense to me is "Betrayed by many"

Return To Power Draws Near, Pierced From Below, and Now Ornaments Dripping Above all kinda fit the Christ motif.
"Return To Power Draws Near" could mean when he dies, he will return to a position in heaven with God the father. "Pierced From Below" could refer to Christ being pierced by a spear. "Now Ornaments Dripping Above" could be refering to the crown of thorns, an ornament, now dripping with his own blood. |

Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball he one holy roller He got hair down to his knee Got to be a joker he just do what he please He wear no shoeshine he got toe-jam football He got monkey finger he shoot coca-cola He say "I know you, you know me" One thing I can tell you is you got to be free Come together right now over me He bag production he got walrus gumboot He got Ono sideboard he one spinal cracker He got feet down below his knee Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease Come together right now over me He roller-coaster he got early warning He got muddy water he one mojo filter He say "One and one and one is three" Got to be good-looking 'cause he's so hard to see Come together right now over me |

Can't take it, never could
Time to end it, wish you would Friends and family, they're all gone Life for you is just a con Dig yourself a hole in the ground Push up daisies six feet down Take a dirt nap, buy the farm Inject a bubble in your aim Kill yourself, kill yourself! Why don't you kill yourself? Don't rely on no one else End it all just kill yourself! Life is just a one way ticket Everyone must go around Here's bucket go and kick it Slit your wrists without a sound When you go don't make a big deal No dramatics, don't overplay Cause don't you know that we'll all feel Better once you're gone away You're a loser, there's nothing left for you A worthless loser, at everything you do |

The real question is, Why does this song have a minute and 20 seconds of virtually silent intro? HUH?
