Set Phasers To Stun Lyrics


Say yes, say yes, say yes, say yes (say yes, say yes, say yes, say)

I'm sorry it took me so long,
I'm sorry it took me so long,
(to come around, to come around)
I'm sorry it took me so long

Your famous last words started once your
Fingers hit the snooze,
"Just nine more minutes please" (and they)
They all know where to find me
And the word that I said
"what a big mistake"
And the words you let out ("keeping me away")
Well I will never make another promise
(without you)
Well I will never make another promise
(with you in mind)

So pace the stairs to your apartment
Like its where you want to be
(where you want to be)
Where you want to be
(where you want to be)

I'm sorry it took me so long
I'm sorry it took me so long
(to go around, to go around)
I'm sorry it took me so long
I'm sorry it took me so long

Well there's a secret I've been perfecting,
That's what I wondered "would you let me"
I'm comfortably confused (and you)
You've gotten so removed
You know I, I could take the friends of those filth
Ocean blue, paint em white now
(ohh you're gonna fall tonight)
Well I will never make another promise
(without you)
I will never make another promise
(with you in mind)

So pace the stairs the stairs to your apartment
Like its where you want to be
(where you want to be)
Where you want to be
(where you want to be)
So pace the stairs to your apartment
Like that's where you want to be
(where you want to be)
Where you want to be
(where you want to be)

Oh we would paint your sins on the ceiling
I keep them glued to my chest
It keeps me close like a promise kept
(say yes, say yes, say yes, say yes)
If I talk in my sleep, then you just keep trying
I like it enough if you just keep trying
If I choke in my sleep
If I choke in my sleep
(say yes say yes say yes say yes)
I'm sorry it took me so long
(say yes say yes say yes say yes)
I'm sorry it took me so long

So pace the steps to your apartment
Like its where you want to be
(where you want to be)
Where you want to be

Set Phasers To Stun
  • This is about a relationship that has just ended. The guy in the song has suspected it all along but he didn't dare confront his girlfriend about it until she told him. The chorus is him saying, "Fine, you go hang around your apartment like you really want to be there, but you're really miserable."
  • The title is a phrase often said on Star Trek when they needed their weapons, but didn't want to use deadly force.
  • The album title comes from the line in this song, "So pace the stairs to your apartment, like it's where you want to be."

    Time and time and time again
    Tossing and turning and freezing and burning
    Time and time and time again
    Another bad dream and another dead end

    Someone somewhere wake me up! (x4)

    Time and time and time again
    Same old story till the night time ends
    Time and time and time again
    Same dark covers and same [?]

    WAKE ME UP!

    Time and time and time again
    Wake up screaming and wake up dead
    Time and time and time again
    Wake up sweating and out of my head

    Someone somewhere wake me up! (x3)
    Someone somewhere WAKE ME UP!

    Time and time and time again
    I´m waking up shaking and waking in front
    Time and time and time again
    Same be -movie in black and white

    Someone somewhere....

    Released: 2012

    Scream Hallelujah Lyrics


    Scream Hallelujah
  • Black Light Burns is led by Limp Bizkit guitarist Wes Borland, whose credo is evident on this song. "I was thinking how I would probably kill myself if I was in a 9-to-5 cubicle type of job," he said in our 2013 interview . "I thought about how all these people in the world are looking at their phones all the time at dinner and they're watching reality television and how most of the things that they're talking about conversation-wise are either gossip about other people, or they're talking about a show that they watched."
  • Explaining the song if further detail, Borland told us: "'Scream Hallelujah' was a lament; it was a very sarcastic lament encouraging people to just stay on the tracks that they've been put on, stick to the ideals that their parents instilled in them as they were growing up. Don't stay inside and watch that s--tty show over and over again until you're unable to breathe in the plastic bag that you put over your head to kill yourselves.

    It's almost like worshiping Western culture and how just f--ked it is, not in a paranoid way where I think that they're putting something in the water that's brainwashing everyone, but they're definitely putting something through our televisions and through the food we're eating and through fashion magazines and through insane maniac, everyone panic type of media. Giving people all this stuff to worry about and talk about that really doesn't matter at all. People are basing their whole lives on it, so it's almost like a religion."
  • The vocals were written before the music was composed for this song. Wes Borland feels that many of his best songs begin with the words, as it's easier for him to come up with riffs to match a strong set of lyrics than the other way around.

    Wasting my time,

    And I'll never pine
    For the sad days and the bad days
    When we was workin' from nine to five.
    And if you don't mind

    Here by the fire side
    In the warm light and the love in her eyes.

    Raising Hell Lyrics


    I feel the fire (fire)
    Can't touch the flames (flames)
    This is reality, an infamous game
    I taste the blood (blood)
    Can't seem to cave (cave)
    The deed is done, but the debt is unpaid

    Everyday it seems I'm running from the reaper
    Kicking and screaming and going down swinging
    Without my soul you're a gun without a trigger
    Fate is unfolding, who made you the king of the dead

    This is a war that can never be won
    Let me go
    I'll fight forever as the heavens fall
    I'm Raising Hell

    This is a war that can never be won
    Let me go
    I'll fight forever as the heavens fall
    I'm raising hell

    Raising hell

    You got a choice, you digress off your master
    No restraints, no remorse
    Are you hearing this
    You want to test me
    I know, I'll destroy you
    Save your breath, nothing's left
    Here I come at you
    Everyday seems like I'm running with the reaper
    Kicking and screaming, the demons are singing
    Disarray as the grave is getting deeper
    Weakness is showing, I'll make you a slave for the dead (for the dead)
    Slave for the dead

    This is a war that can never be won
    Let me go
    I'll fight forever as the heavens fall
    I'm raising hell

    This is a war that can never be won
    Let me go
    I'll fight forever as the heavens fall
    I'm raising hell

    Raising hell

    This is a war that can never be won
    Let me go
    I'll fight forever as the heavens fall
    I'm raising hell

    This is a war that can never be won
    Let me go
    I'll fight forever as the heavens fall
    I'm raising hell

    This is a war that can never be won
    Let me go
    I'll fight forever as the heavens fall

    Raising Hell
  • The first song from Bullet for My Valentine's fifth album was released on November 18, 2013. It's a return to Bullet for My Valentine's early work, focusing heavily on the band's guitar section. "It's definitely more of a step towards our first two records," drummer Michael "Moose" Thomas told Billboard magazine regarding the LP. "We always like to keep changing our records and our sounds and stuff. I think you have to change, otherwise it gets boring for us and the fans get bored. Look at all the great bands through rock history; they changed on all their albums - especially Metallica. Their albums have always changed, and they're the biggest metal band ever. So we just want to keep changing and get to another level each time out."
  • When the band arrived in the studio to record this song, it didn't have a title or even lyrics. Vocalist Matt Tuck told Kerrang! magazine: "I don't really like to write vocals and melodies until the song is complete musically. I just let the music take me wherever I think it needs to go. That's how I've always done it – I get inspired by the music itself. I sit down with an almost finished version and have it by myself for a couple of hours. Until then, I don't really know exactly how the song will turn out."

  • Lead singer Burton Bell has said that this is one of the heaviest tracks Fear Factory has ever written. The song is about Internet chat rooms and how people talk, gossip and tell lies. They are wastelands where people say things they would never say if they met someone in person.
  • The video was shot in an abandoned warehouse in Australia with loads of Fear Factory fans. They thought they had permission to shoot the video but didn't and managed to get vital shots before the police came in and kicked them all out.

    Baptized Lyrics


    It's safe to say I'm lost,
    Without you in my arms,
    So I call your name and I pray you might,
    Come and watch over me like the pale moonlight,
    Until the sun comes back around.

    Take me down, take me down by the water, water,
    Pull me in until I see the light,
    Let me drown, let me drown, in you honey, honey,
    In your love I wanna be Baptized.
    Take me down, take me down by the water, water,
    I wanna be baptized.

    And the days and nights are cold,
    Without your body to hold,
    So I close my eyes hoping you'll appear,
    Cause it feels like grace every time you're near, yeah,
    Don't leave, until the sun comes back around.

    Take me down, take me down by the water, water,
    Pull me in until I see the light,
    Let me drown, let me drown, in you honey, honey,
    In your love I wanna be baptized.
    Take me down, take me down by the water, water,
    I wanna be baptized.

    Take me down, take me down by the water,
    Pull me in until I see the light,
    Let me drown, let me drown, in you honey,
    In your love I wanna be baptized.

    Take me down, take me down by the water, water,
    Pull me in until I see the light,
    Let me drown, let me drown, in you honey, honey,
    In your love I wanna be baptized.

    Take me down, take me down by the water, water,
    In your love I wanna be baptized,
    Let me drown, let me drown, in you honey,
    I wanna be baptized.

    Baptized
  • The opening song on Daughtry's fourth album also serves as its title track. Chris Daughtry explained the cut to The Hollywood Reporter : "It was one of the first songs written for the record and it's probably my favorite song on the album," he said. "I know it's going to raise questions and make people wonder if it's a Christian album or if it's a gospel album, and it's not. I hope people don't think it's sacrilegious because it's not used in the Christian sense of the word. The song is about being baptized and it has more of a sensual aspect and the record just felt like a fresh start. We just got our bass player [Josh Paul] back, he left for a while and we didn't know if he was coming back. And with the new member of the band, our keyboard player, it just feels like a new version of us."

    Forget It Lyrics


    It's a crime you let it happen to me
    Never mind, I'll let it happen to you
    Out of mind, Forget It there's nothing to lose
    But my mind and all the things I wanted

    Every time I get it throw it away
    It's a sign, I get it, I wanna stay
    By the time I lose it I'm not afraid
    I'm alive but I can surely fake it

    How can I believe when this cloud hangs over me
    You're the part of me that I don't wanna see

    Forget it
    Forget it
    Forget it
    Forget it

    Forget it
    Forget it
    Forget it
    Forget it
    Forget it
    Forget it
    Forget it
    Forget it
    Forget it

    There's a place I see you follow me
    Just a taste of all that might come to be
    I'm alone but holding breath you can breathe
    To question every answer counted

    Just fade away
    Please let me stay
    Caught in your way

    Forget it

    Just fade away
    Please let me stay
    Caught in your way

    It's a crime you let it happen to me
    Out of mind, I love it, easy to please
    Never mind, forget it, just memories
    On a page inside a spiral notebook

    Just fade away
    Please let me stay
    Caught in your way
    I can live forever here
    I can live forever here

    Forget it

    How can I believe when this cloud hangs over me
    You're a part of me that I don't wanna see

    I can live forever here

    Forget It
  • Ben Burnley said that this song was the most challenging song ever, especially as a vocalist. With every verse he goes up a key and it pushed the limits of his singing abilities.
  • Billy Corgan from Smashing Pumpkins encouraged the band to create a new album, not just the same as the first one all over again.
  • Burnley: "It's very cool-both structurally and melodically. It's subtle, but listen closely and you'll hear the song move up a half-step every verse and chorus. As a vocalist, that's really challenging because it forces me to sing in a different key every time. It's definitely unusual, and had it not been for Billy, I probably never would've tried something like that."

    I wanna see you run
    Anywhere you want
    Never let the darkness hold you back
    No fear of getting lost

    I wanna see you fly
    Way beyond the sun
    Anything you're ever gonna dream
    I pray that it will come

    But if you ever fall down straight to the bottom
    And you can't get back where you started
    Any place any time
    You gotta know for you I'll Fight
    (Ooh ooh, ooh ooh)

    Where you wanna go
    I'd love to take you there
    Wish that I could make the road easy
    I wish that life was fair
    Don't wanna see you cry
    Even when it rains
    And I hope you don't forget this
    You were born for better things

    But if you ever fall down straight to the bottom
    And you can't get back where you started
    With no strength to stand
    Gonna reach for your hand
    When the going gets rough
    Right when it's hurting I will be there
    To help any burden
    Any place any time
    You gotta know for you I'll fight

    If you lose your strength to stand

    If you ever fall down straight to the bottom

    It's like a helter skelter, going down and down, round and round but just get

    Because tonight, tonight, tonight

    Tonight, Tonight, Tonight
  • This song is about meeting with a cocaine dealer. The lyrics detail withdrawal symptoms from a cocaine high and the relief of knowing tonight is the night cocaine will be purchased. It deals with the struggle against the highly addictive drug. Phil Collins wrote the lyrics to this one.
  • In 1986, this was featured in commercials for Michelob beer as part of their "The night belongs to Michelob" campaign. It was a case of an advertising agency and/or client looking at the title and chorus of the song without regard for the lyrics, which reek of pain and desperation.

    Genesis keyboard player Tony Banks explained that using the song in the commercial was a big break for the band, since it helped it become a hit. Banks said that if it wasn't in the commercial, it probably would have remained an album track like their song "Domino."
  • With the release of Invisible Touch, Genesis left their Prog-Rock roots behind and were taking over the pop charts with predictable criticisms. Phil Collins took a lot of the heat from the old-school Genesis fans, who figured his solo Pop success had wormed its way into the band. Collins responded in a 1987 Creem interview by saying: "People tend to say now we're just a commercial group who write pop songs, but 'Domino' and 'Tonight, Tonight, Tonight' are more like the old Genesis. We have always written collectively, and any individual songs have been credited to the group anyway. We thought if one person got the credits he would get all the royalties and it would create an unfair imbalance."
  • On the album, this song runs 8:49. The radio version was edited down to 4:32.

    Long Live Rock & Roll Lyrics


    Well I was born
    The year that disco died
    And U2 was in high school
    Thank the Lord that they survived
    Got my first taste, on a Seger 45
    And since that Kiss I rocked out
    All day and partied every night

    We still argue about who's better
    Elton John or Billy Joel
    We still wonder if Kurt really
    Wrote the song she sang in Hole
    No we'll never stop believing
    That's the Journey of our lives
    So won't you help me 'Pour Some Sugar'
    On these memories tonight?

    Sing it
    Long live rock
    Long live roll
    Long live big guitars and music for the soul
    Sing it
    Don't give up, don't grow old
    Long live crazy nights and records made of gold
    Long live rock and roll

    Summer of '96, I got my first guitar
    I played it till my fingers said
    "You're gonna be a star"
    Grunge was everything, at least it was to me
    A Marshall in my Chevy Sprint
    Just running down a dream

    We still argue about who's better
    Motley Crew or G&R
    We still can't believe Van Halen
    Turned into Van Hagar
    Now the record shops are gone for good
    And no one seems to care
    But me and you and all our friends
    'Keep Living On That Prayer'

    Sing it
    Long live rock
    Long live roll
    Long live big guitars and music for the soul, sing
    Don't give up, don't grow old
    Long live crazy nights and records made of gold
    Long live rock and roll

    Went to bed in Cleveland
    Woke up in Tennessee
    No matter where I'll roll tonight
    I'm chasing history

    We still argue about who's better
    The Beatles or The Stones
    They're forever 27
    Jimmy, Janis, Brian Jones
    And we stand here in their memory
    'Cause their songs, they still survive
    So throw your lighters up
    And, darling, sing with me tonight

    Come on

    Long live rock
    Long live roll
    Long live big guitars and music for the soul, sing
    Don't give up, don't grow old
    Long live crazy nights and records made of gold
    Long live rock and roll

    Long live rock
    Long live roll
    Long live big guitars and music for the soul, sing
    Don't give up, don't grow old
    Long live crazy nights and records made of gold

    Long live rock and roll

    Long Live Rock & Roll
  • This acoustic anthem is a humorously nostalgic ode to the good ole days. Chris Daughtry penned the song with Boys Like Girls frontman Martin Johnson and songwriter-producer Sam Hollander (aka, S*A*M), who is best known for his work with One Direction, Cobra Starship and Gym Class Heroes. It was one of five tracks that the trio penned for Baptized. Daughtry told The Hollywood Reporter : "I would have never picked up a guitar and wrote this song. I never would have gone the folk route. I just thought the irony of it was hilarious. Long live rock and roll and big guitars, and it doesn't have any loud guitars. It's all like this folky, country vibe, and very rootsy. I loved that."
  • The track looks at some age-old rock debates such as the Beatles vs. the Rolling Stones, and Van Halen vs. Van Hagar. Daughtry told Rolling Stone the story of the song: "Martin Johnson and Sam Hollander approached me with this idea, and it was something I've never done before," he said. "Sam had this lyric: 'We used to wonder about who's better, Elton John or Billy Joel. And we still wonder if Kurt really wrote the songs she sang in Hole.' I was like, 'Wow, I've never done anything where I've referenced anyone in a song, especially…not in a negative light, necessarily, but something that's kind of a jab.' But it was funny, and I was like, 'Hopefully they won't come looking for me after this!'"

    "I've never written anything like that," Daughtry continued. "People are so used to seeing this hard-ass face, everything is so serious, and if anybody hung out with this band they'd realize that is the last thing we are is serious! So this is a good thing, because no one's ever seen this side of me as a person and especially as a songwriter. My favorite line in the whole song is the Van Halen/Van Hagar thing. That's one of my favorite lyrical moments on this whole record."
