Angels Or Devils Lyrics

Angels Or Devils

The artist states that the angels burn inside "for" us while the devils burn inside "of" us. This makes it seem as if the devils are intrinsically inside and a part of us while the angels (representing good) are an outside/exterior factor trying to work its way inside of us. The writer of this song definitely knew what he/she was writing about - no one could write such a deep emotionally charged song without experiencing it in life first. (thanks, Live Freak - Beirut, Lebanon)

This song was used in a very emotional scene in the TV show Smallville - episode 2.8 - "Ryan." (thanks, Stee - Kent, England)

They're Not Horses, They're Unicorns Lyrics

You're pulling out your teeth
And I'm the Novocaine you pump in your cheek
That's why I'm still around, you've got blood running down your chin
But you suffered peacefully

She was a termite
Eating away at my roots
I was just a lost soul who needed a home
I was filling a void with you

And I can't, can't wait
Till you've see see seen
What death and disgust
Have done to me

And I spent three years
Wishing for two things
That one day you'd break
And I'd get to see

How all the choices you've made
Would drive you insane
I wish we never met

As angry as I sound
That's just the way I cover up, the way I feel
I've been that way for years and years
Slave to broken hearts and sex appeal

And she was a termite
Eating away at my roots
I was just a lost soul who needed a home
I was filling a void with you

And I can't, can't wait
Till you've see see seen
What death and disgust
Have done to me

And I spent three years
Wishing for two things
That one day you'd break
And I'd get to see

How all the choices you've made
Would drive you insane
I wish we never met

She was a termite
Eating away at my roots
I was just a lost soul who needed a home
I was filling a void with you

And I can't, can't wait
Till you've see see seen
What death and disgust
Have done to me

And I spent three years
Wishing for two things
That one day you'd break
And I'd get to see

How all the choices you've made
Would drive you insane
I wish we never met

They're Not Horses, They're Unicorns

Before Bayside lead singer Anthony Raneri got married and started a family in 2014, many of his songs dealt with relationship struggles, including this one where he describes an ex-lover as "a termite eating away at my roots."

In our interview with Raneri , he explained that he gives himself little exercises to keep his songwriting fresh and get him out of his comfort zone. On this song, he gave himself an interesting assignment: incorporate a 3-2-1 countdown into the lyric. The result:

I spent three years wishing
For two things,
that one day you'd break

The title of this song doesn't appear in the lyric. It implies the delusion of the girl Raneri is singing about.

Tequila Lyrics

Tequila

Tequila is an alcoholic beverage named after a town in Mexico. It is a key ingredient in Margaritas and is often done as a shot by licking salt, taking the drink, then sucking a lemon wedge. Many bars turn this song into a production, often offering shots of tequila directly from the bottle.

This was originally released as the B-side of an aptly named song by The Champs called "Train to Nowhere." Disc jockeys flipped the single and played "Tequila" instead, making the song one of the biggest hits of the '50s.

Danny Flores, who was the saxophone player in The Champs, wrote this song (it's credited to his pen name, Chuck Rio).

Flores had the melody kicking around for a while, and would play it as an interlude during the group's club shows. He was a tequila drinker, so when the band decided to record his melody as a B-side, he named it "Tequila" and added the spoken title, which he voiced.

According to Leo Kulka, who was the second engineer, this song was an afterthought after the band recorded "Train to Nowhere" (the A-side of the record). Some of the musicians had already left the studio when it was brought up that nothing had been recorded for the B-side. The remaining musicians were rounded up and the song was written on the spot. The "Tequila" part of the song was simply a silly attempt to cover up the holes in the song. After all, it was just the B-side. (thanks, Keith - Reno, NV)

Not performing on this record, but later members of the group were Glen Campbell, Jimmy Seals and Dash Crofts (Seals & Crofts of '70s fame). (thanks, WC - Charlotte, NC)

This was featured in the 1985 movie Pee Wee's Big Adventure. It was used in a scene where Pee Wee Herman wins over the crowd in a biker bar by doing a dance to the song. The movie was the first feature film directed by Tim Burton, and Danny Elfman wrote the score.

This won for Best Rhythm & Blues Performance at the first ever Grammy Awards in 1959. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

Album: The Walking Wounded
Released: 2007

Duality Lyrics

Some days, I get crazed
I don't know why it's all relevant
I'll take deep breaths
And keep control, go on

I've tried brave and you've tried to save
I'm proud to keep it bottled up
I think I past my prime
Lost my mind and I'm torn

No telling what tomorrow holds

Who let, who let this feeling die
When all I did was try?
Who let you let this feeling die
I can't get you out of my head, my head
You're the flame that burns me so I know that I'm still alive

Some say it's all fate
But I say we control our lives
And if my destiny should out best me
Then that's fine

I may believe thrill and apathy
Don't exist in me fairly equally
The truth is doubts are all I've got
To call mine

No telling what tomorrow holds
No telling what voice takes control

Who let, who let this feeling die
When all I did was try?
Who let you let this feeling die
I can't get you out of my head, my head
You're the flame that burns me so I know that I'm still alive

Is there anybody out there? Is anybody calling?
Woah, if what I say is really wrong
Is there anybody out there? Is anybody calling?
Woah, if what you say is really wrong

I'm not in control, think I'm out of control

Who let, who let this feeling die
When all I did was try?
Who let you let this feeling die
I can't get you out of my head, my head
You're the flame that burns me so I know that I'm still alive

Duality

Songwriters - especially those in the Punk Rock realm - are prone to a range of emotions that they often struggle with and express in their songs. In this song, Bayside lead singer Anthony Raneri explains how he often feels two conflicting emotions, like thrill and apathy. That's his duality.

Bayside writes their own songs and shares the composition credits equally. "Duality" is the only song they co-wrote with someone else: they wrote it with their producer Shep Goodman. Anthony Raneri told us how it came together: "Him and I had our manager at the time, Nate Albert, who played guitar in the Mighty, Mighty Bosstones, the three of us got together in the studio while we were almost done recording that record. We had a couple more days left to record. The whole record was done, and then the three of us were having lunch and one of them was kicking around on an acoustic guitar while we were all eating, and that came out."

The Spiral Lyrics

Sometimes we only live for the here and now.
Sometimes we're lonely.
Sometimes we feel we need a place to be grounded,
Or fly away again.

[Chorus]
I will fly away again.
I feel rain pouring down.
I wait to rot away, live again, here forever, The Spiral never ends.

Why are we feeling something's familiar around us?
Are we just dreaming?
Always we search for the answers but nothing is found.
We fly away again.

[Chorus]

The Spiral

This song deals with the Wiccan belief in Reincarnation and how when a person's soul is reincarnated, they begin to see the same things they saw in their past lives. It is similar to the 1997 Godsmack song "Voodoo" in that it has a spiritual meaning and somewhat of a tribal sound. It uses some of the same percussion instruments used in "Voodoo." (thanks, Natasha - Saint Robert, MO)

"The Spiral" is a combination of 2 tracks on the Awake CD: "The Journey" and "Spiral." "The Journey" is the 49 second intro to "Spiral." They are generally considered one song.

The music to "The Journey" was written by Sully Erna and Tony Rambola. The lyrics to "Spiral" were written by Sully Erna and the music to "Spiral" was written by Sully Erna and Tony Rambola.

Katrina Chester of the band Luxx provides the vocals in the middle of the song.

An acoustic version of this song was included on Godsmack's 2004 acoustic EP The Other Side. (thanks, Nick - Paramus, NJ, for above 4)

This song is derived from the chapter on social morality in book three of C. S. Lewis' Mere Christianity, where Lewis describes Christian society: "[The New Testament] gives us a pretty clear hint of what a fully Christian society would be like… It tells us there are to be no passengers or parasites: if man does not work, he ought not to eat."

Suck my dick kid, like your daddy did.

While your sister's on her knees waitin' for your
Little peanut.
Wait, where'd ya get that little dance?

Like them idiots in Waco, you're burning up in Bako where your father
Had your mother, your mother had your brother, it's just too bad your
Father's mad, your mother's now your lover.
Come on hillbilly, can your horse do a fuckin' wheelie?

South in the fall, you sure do got a purdy mouth.

[Chorus]

And I love you!

And I'll butt-fuck you!
And I'll eat you!
And I'll lick your little dick, motherfucker.

All In The Family

Features Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit with additional drums by Justin Walden. KoRn played this live with Fred at the Family Values concerts.

KoRn lead singer Jon Davis and Fred Durst thought it would be funny if they put out a track where they just shoot insults back and forth at each other, like a good old schoolyard brawl. This was the result.

Two remixes of this song were made, the "Clark World Mix" (mixed by Clark Kent) and the "Sowing the Beats Mix" (mixed by Level X). Some releases of the Follow the LeadeR album came with an additional CD with these 2 tracks on them. (thanks, Nick - Paramus, NJ, for above 3)

Comet, Come to Me Lyrics

Comet, Come to Me

This is the title track to Meshell Ndegeocello's eleventh studio album. She wrote the song with Shara Worden, who also performs on the track. Worden performs under the name My Brightest Diamond. "Her and I had a conversation, and she turned that conversation into a song," Ndegeocello explained. "I told her the title and she just went off on a tangent."

The title uses just five different letters, which intrigued Ndegeocello. There is a random element to the song that leaves it open to interpretation. When Meshell floated the title past some of her friends, they all came up with different ideas as to what it meant.

Meshell gave some insight as to what it means to her in our 2014 interview when she was discussing awareness of her mortality and how she expects her musical gift to one day vanish. "I can see the comet coming to destroy me eventually," she said. "I watch the people that have come before me, and eventually that gift will leave. Eventually, it will leave and not return."

Greed Lyrics

Two faced!
I feel you crawling under my skin
Sickened by your face
By the way, to think that you're so fucking kind?
You ain't!

Hard to find how I feel,
Especially when you're smothering me
Hard to find how I feel,
Please someone help me

I knew when an angel whispered into my ear,
You gotta get him away, yeah
Hey little bitch!
Be glad you finally walked away or you may have not lived another day.

Hard to find how I feel,
Especially when you're smothering me
Hard to find how I feel,
Please someone help me
Hard to find how I feel,
Controlling me every step of the way
Hard to find how I feel,
You Greedy little baby

Hard to find, hard to find, hard to find
Hard to find, hard to find, hard to find
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!

Hard to find how I feel,
Specially when you're smothering me
Hard to find how I feel,
Please someone help me
Hard to find how I feel,
Controlling me every step of the way
Hard to find how I feel,
You greedy little baby

Greed

This song is about a former friend of the band who lent them money to record the indie version of their first CD. He said he didn't want any money back, but the band paid him back anyway along with an additional $10,000 as thanks. This guy then tried to sue them, saying he owned 10 percent of Godsmack. The song is just telling him off for being ungrateful and putting them through a year of negotiating with lawyers.

This was the second single from the album.

The music and lyrics were written by lead singer Sully Erna. (thanks, Nick - Paramus, NJ, for above 3)

Folie A Deux Lyrics

Folie A Deux

A French phrase that literally translates to "madness has two," "folie a deux" is a condition where two people who are very close share the same mental disorder.

The phrase doesn't show up in the lyric: she chose a French title because she is signed to Naïve Records, an independent label based in France.

In our interview with Meshell Ndegeocello , she said: "That song's about breaking up and how we treat each other. It's two people involved in craziness, and that's how I see love sometimes."

Sour Lyrics

Mellow out....bitch
Hell no
I thought I knew ya
Took the time to put my love into ya
Screw ya

'Cause now you got me sittin' in the sewer
I'm through with all them roller coaster rides
See, I ain't forgot about the knots
That you been tying with my insides
I dropped my pride

Without you I was sure to die
I tried with cash
And all I could, to make it last
Now I accepted that was in the past
I know you love me

Love me like a piece of trash
But at first you were so sweet
Couldn't go without seein' your face for an hour
So Sour
It all became a hassle

You were even living in my castle
Just to use me
And verbally abuse me
That's not the way I'm running my shop
It took a while to see the light before I stopped
And you got dropped off

It's over, probably I'll be sweatin' it
But in the long run you'll be the one regrettin' it
Maybe you won't, maybe you will
But baby, you're still about as real as a three dollar bill

[Chorus]
There's no one to blame but you
And who gets the blame me
Ohh ohh, I sound like a bitch
A little bitch in heat
With all that anger that I'm feelin
Bitch I think it's heat
Another split tail
Just another split tail

Thanks for the lesson
Now get your shit and hit the trail
We know I'm coming from that old school
You damn fool
Intensity is something that I'm made of

And certainly I'm not afraid of
A little smack in my face
Thanks for the taste

[Chorus]
