Hollywood Undead-Hollywood Forever








Undead

I'm tryna be a role model for all of the kids
And keep it full throttle, fuck societies grits
So what happens if I call it quits?
Who's on the front line takin' all the hits?
'Cause money ain't shit if you've got no loyalty
I love every single one of you that supported me
Every single fan and all my family and friends
So let me tell you this, without you, I'd be dead

I got the same shit that plagues you
I have suicidal thoughts too
(Split personality too) and we never thanked you
Because you saved us too

So what about the kid that got off the ledge?
All the people saved by Hollywood Undead?
If I could save just one kid
I'ma keep this mask on as long as I live

Everywhere I go (everywhere I go)
You've become a part of me
And all the love you've shown (all the love)
Is worth the blood I bleed
This is all I know (this Is all I know)
What I was born to be
So take a 40 to the head
'Cause you're rocking with the best
Every single one of us is undead
The undead

From tall cans and freestyles in a parking lot
To bad record deals and falling off of the top
I used to have big dreams then I lost a lot
Now I need this more than ever
This is all that I got
I thought I lost all when I lost my dad
It's kind of hard to be sad when you're so fuckin' mad
That the train's off the tracks and it's not coming back
'Cause when life hits you hard you start punching it back

'Cause I do whatever it is
For you, and you and both of my kids
'Cause it's true that life is a bitch
So don't you ever give up if you ever get stuck

Now I'm in the studio so intoxicated
I gave up my dreams of being nominated
But I do give a shit, I guess I'm complicated
I'm just waiting for the day to tell my mom I made it

Everywhere I go (everywhere I go)
You've become a part of me
And all the love you've shown (all the love)
Is worth the blood I bleed
This is all I know (this Is all I know)
What I was born to be
So take a 40 to the head
'Cause you're rocking with the best
Every single one of us is undead
The undead

Can't even count the times I lost my fuckin' mind
Pulled back from the brink, got back to my feet, why?
There ain't a pill in this world that can save me
And I swallowed every one they ever gave me
But I have you and that's my one truth
Only shoulder I ever had were the speakers, hear me come through
And what I wanna say, there were so many days
That I wished I was a ghost and I could just fade away

Hide the pain underneath the surface
But you saved me, gave me a purpose
I don't know, maybe I deserve this
But now I know that my pain isn't worthless

I do this for the ones that I bled with (bled with)
The ones that sing-along, that I keep it undead with
This is for the ones that gave meaning to my life
This is Hollywood Undead 'til I die

Everywhere I go (everywhere I go)
You've become a part of me
And all the love you've shown (all the love)
Is worth the blood I bleed
This is all I know (this Is all I know)
What I was born to be
So take a 40 to the head (head)
'Cause you're rocking with the best (best)
Every single one of us is undead
The undead

The undead
The undead

I like the scrape of the singer's voice. I like how it begins mellow and becomes more and more unhinged. I also enjoy the depth and ambiguity of the lyrics -- there's a whole story behind them.

But you will be
I'm not sorry
Cause I'm not sorry

Shanice- I'm Cryin








I'm Cryin'

Puttin' on my coat
Wanna break out from these walls
Catch a bus and take a walk downtown
Maybe run into a friend
I just know I got to get out

But everywhere I go
I see lovers hand in hand
Reminds me of the way it used to be (reminds me of the way it used to be boy)
Baby it felt so right
When you were walkin' with me
(don't you see)

[Chorus]
I'm cryin' how could you leave me all alone
I'm cryin' just can't make it on my own
I dream of you the whole day through
But when the night time falls
I'm all alone
Cryin' all alone

When I close my eyes
I can feel your lips on mine
Nobody ever touched me like you did (nobody ever touched me like you did boy)
There ain't a thing I wouldn't give
Baby for just one more kiss
(Don't you see)

[Chorus]

My friends say I'll love again
I wanna believe but why pretend
Tell me why, why pretend baby
I'm always gonna feel the same
No one will ever take your place
No nothing can compare
With the love that we shared, baby (don't you see)

[Chorus]

Gwar-The New Dark Age




Full Album:


No more age of reason
Darkness
Men are lost in the night
Gorging on the gloom
No love of light is left
Where there once was science
Is now a cult of death

These are the New Dark Ages
Lies have become contagious
Flames, famine, Black Death rage
This is the New Dark Age
New Dark Age

Bone-fires of the inquisition
Lawless, superstition and lies
Beggars in the street
Corpses in the flood
Knowledge without wisdom
At the price of blood

These are the New Dark Ages
Lies have become contagious
Flames, famine, Black Death rage
This is the New Dark Age

You stupid motherfuckers
Get your hands up in the air
Your world has gone to shit
But we don't fucking care
The air is foul, the oceans dead
We surf the blood-dimmed tide
Tonight we celebrate
And watch the world die

So get your titties out and put 'em on the glass
Clown britches down and shake your big fat ass
Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh
New Dark Age

These are the new dark ages
Fire lights, the fallen faces
These are the New Dark Ages
Cold sun, dark and rayless
These are the New Dark Ages
None of you now stand blameless
Flames, famine, Black Death rage
This is a New Dark Age

There's no more
Age of Reason
There's no more
Age of Enlightenment
There's no more
Age of Science
Now we're in
A New Dark Age

Rainbow-Since You Been Gone








Oh-woah, oh-ho-oh, woah-oh-oh

I get the same old dreams, same time every night
Fall to the ground and I wake up
So I get out of bed, put on my shoes and in my head
Thoughts fly back to the breakup

These four walls are closing in
Look at the fix you've put me in

Since you been gone, since you been gone
I'm out of my head, can't take it
Could I be wrong? but since you been gone
You cast your spell, so break it
Oh-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Since you been gone

So in the night I stand, beneath the backstreet light
I read the words, that you sent to me
I can take the afternoon
The nighttime comes around too soon
You can't know what you mean to me

Your poison letter, your telegram
Just goes to show you don't give a damn

Since you been gone, since you been gone
I'm out of my head, can't take it
Could I be wrong? but since you been gone
You cast your spell, so break it
Oh-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Since you been gone

If you will come back, baby you know
You'll never do wrong

[dqngerous]

this is my favorite song of all time, on my favorite album of all time, by my favorite artist of all time.
it's where my title comes from:

i am the damned
i am the dead
i am the agony inside the dying head
this is injustice
woe unto thee
i pray this punishment would have mercy on me

in my humble opinion, michael jackson is underrated in terms of sad songs. in fact- i'll link another favorite: stranger in moscow. the perfect manifestation of loneliness, isolation, & depression.

i was wandering in the rain
mask of life, feeling insane
swift and sudden fall from grace
sunny days seem far away

Return To Dust-Belly Up








What becomes of I
After we have died?
Belly up and scream
Life's a bitter feeling

You could be anything
Anything you want
Oh, you know better
Don't you know better? (yeah)
You could do what you choose
You'd abuse it all
Oh, you know better
Don't you know better?

So I made a mistake
Wound up on the floor
With something inside my veins
Maybe I have no place
It keeps me at war
Belly up and be saved, my child

Stuffed with corporate lies
Stretched on a disguise
Reach inside the dark
Hands are ripped apart

You could be anything
Anything you want
Oh, you know better
Don't you know better? (yeah)
You could do what you choose
You'd abuse it all
Oh, you know better
Don't you know better

So I made a mistake
Wound up on the floor
With something inside my veins
Maybe I have no place
It keeps me at war
Belly up and be saved, my child
Belly up and be saved, my child

So I made a mistake
Wound up on the floor
With something inside my veins
Maybe I have no place
It keeps me at war
Belly up and be saved, my child

Through Fire-Lose It







I try to be the voice
That rises up above the noise
In the madness, in the static
I try to hold it all together as it falls apart
We dismantle what we can't handle
We're polarized from every side

When did everybody lose it
Everything we used to be
Humanity, our sanity, our dignity
When did everybody give up
When did everybody turn on me
I'm sick of it
Nobody wins
I'm over it
When did everybody lose it
I'm about to lose it

I'm buried by the weight
Infected by the fear and hate
It's contagious, all this rage is
Feeding the dark
Were we dead from the start
Your demons are my disease

When did everybody lose it
Everything we used to be
Humanity, our sanity, our dignity
When did everybody give up
When did everybody turn on me
I'm sick of it
Nobody wins
I'm over it
When did everybody lose it
I'm about to lose it

All I see is total chaos
All I hear is logic lost
All these souls with hell to pay off
Evil all around
I won't let you take me down
Won't let you take me down

When did everybody lose it
Everything we used to be
Humanity, our sanity, our dignity
When did everybody give up
When did everybody turn on me
I'm sick of it
Nobody wins
I'm over it
When did everybody lose it
I'm about to lose it
When did everybody lose it
I'm about to lose it

When In Rome-The Promise








If you need a friend
Don't look to a stranger
You know in the end
I'll always be there
And when you're in doubt
And when you're in danger
Take a look all around
And I'll be there

I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
(I promise you)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
(I promise you)
But if you wait around a while I'll make you fall for me
(I promise you)
I promise, I promise you, I will

When your day is through
And so is your temper
You know what to do
I'm gonna always be there
Sometimes if I shout
It's not what's intended
These words just come out
With no cross to bear

I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
(I promise you)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
(I promise you)
But if you wait around a while I'll make you fall for me
(I promise you)
I promise, I promise you

I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
(I promise you)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
(I promise you)
And if I had to walk the world I'd make you fall for me
I promise you, I promise you I will

Gotta tell you
Need to tell you
Gotta tell you
I've gotta tell you

I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
(I promise you)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
(I promise you)
But if you wait around a while I'll make you fall for me
(I promise you)
I promise, I promise you

I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
(I promise you)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
(I promise you)
And if I had to walk the world I'd make you fall for me
I promise you, I promise you I will

I will, I will

Your eyes look just like bullet holes
It must be all that crying
You haven't learned a thing at all

Another helter skelter
Moonlight has come and gone
The bloody writing's on the wall

Chloroform girl, how have you been?
Don't let me catch you sleeping again
You're only alive because I like you

Your eyes look just like bullet holes
It must be all that crying
You haven't learned a thing at all

Another helter skelter
Moonlight has come and gone
The bloody writing's on the wall

Chloroform girl, how have you been?
Don't let me catch you sleeping again
You're only alive because I like you

It's been three years since you've seen the sunlight
But I know you're having fun
Bound, gagged, and chained up in my basement
You look just like a zombie
Inches from dead and pretty
With purple flowers in your hair

I hear the angels crying
Just as the devil smiles
All little pigs will die tonight

Chloroform girl, how have you been?
Don't let me catch you sleeping again
You're only alive because I like you (Because I like you)

It's been three years since you've seen the sunlight
But I know you're having fun
Bound, gagged, and chained up in my basement

I hear the devil singing the most haunting melodies
I've got this overwhelming feeling of morbid ecstasy
Coming over me

Chloroform girl, how have you been?
Don't let me catch you sleeping again
You're only alive because I like you

It's been three years since you've seen the sunlight
But I know you're having fun
Bound, gagged, and chained up in my basement
Chloroform girl

You look just like a zombie
Inches from dead and pretty
With purple flowers in your hair

I hear the angels crying
Just as the devil smiles
All little pigs will die tonight

Chloroform girl, how have you been?
Don't let me catch you sleeping again
You're only alive because I like you (Because I like you)

You're only alive because I like you (Because I like you)

Sorry Caroline, but I've got things to do
I've got things to write, habits to undo
Sorry Caroline, I leave you to your hell
I still have roses to pick, here, at yours, it's the desert
Sorry Caroline, I've got hearts to rummage through
I've got skyes to conquer, and roads to avoid
Sorry Caroline, I think we even explored all the options
Sorry my friend, but I think this is all over

[Unique verse]
So let me go, quickly please honey
Just let me fly away, far from you and your desires
Because of you I mistaken love and the friend I was
Without never really having to give you : you gave me back everything
Eh
Sorry Caroline, but I leave you to your summer
That is actually a big winter way too well disguised
Then, sorry my beauty, here, see, everything's over
But, sorry my friend, I don't think I can keep it going

Oh
Sorry Caroline, there's too much guys to love
I have to visit all the cities, I've got other nights to undress
Then, sorry Caroline, I've got sails to unfold
I've got stars to recount and winds to enchant

Thanks to you, yes, I've known the friendship that makes you go crazy
Because of you we disappointed each other the day you wanted everything
You flattered all my demons, you dreamt of us a bit too far
We found ourselves like two idiots, while I thought you were my brother

Thanks to your two too clear eyes you turned away the tip of my face
Nonchalantly, I let myself be pushed around, besieged like a kid
You know, I've got fruits to taste that don't grow where you're hanging
Big poems to recite, that you wouldn't know how to put in my veins

Eh
Sorry Caroline, you will never make me cum
I don't ever want you please you again, I see tears in your laughs
Then, sorry my treasure, I can't love you more
So, sorry my beauty, I think this is all done
Oh
Sorry Caroline, I've got to find back the proses
Of my passionate rushes, there's no roses in overdose
Then, sorry Caroline, I don't wanna make no more efforts
I prefer Jimmy next dor, there will never be another "encore"

Oh
Sorry Caroline, but I have to end it all tonight
There's nothing easy there, what you want : I can't give it to you
Then sorry my baby, I don't have any more energy to provide
I've run so much after the friend, while you were trying to seduce me

Oh
Sorry Caroline, I have to find new allies
I even threw away our ring that always tied us to friendship
Then, sorry Caroline, I leave you to your parties
Then, sorry my baby, but I think this is all over

[Outro]
I can't fall for you
I can't fall tomorrow
I can't fall for this
Even if we always fall for nothing
I can't fall for you
I can't fall tomorrow
I can't fall for this
Even if I fall once again
How am I supposed to do, supposed to please, without C ?
How am I supposed to do, supposed to please, without C ?
How am I supposed to do, supposed to please, without C ?
(Sorry Caroline, sorry)
How am I supposed to do, supposed to please, without C ?
(Sorry Caroline, sorry)
How am I supposed to do, supposed to please, without C ?
(Sorry Caroline, sorry)
How am I supposed to do, without C ?
(Sorry Caroline, sorry)

Even if we always fall for nothing
I can't fall for you
I can't fall tomorrow
I can't fall for this
Even if I fall once again
How am I supposed to do, supposed to please, without C ?
How am I supposed to do, supposed to please, without C ?
How am I supposed to do, supposed to please, without C ?
(Sorry Caroline, sorry)
How am I supposed to do, supposed to please, without C ?
(Sorry Caroline, sorry)
How am I supposed to do, supposed to please, without C ?
(Sorry Caroline, sorry)
How am I supposed to do, without C ?
(Sorry Caroline, sorry)

[Mirrory Me]

His Face Is Everywhere
MAY THE LORD of Love, who projects himself
Into this universe of myriad forms,
From whom all beings come and to whom all
Return, grant us the grace of wisdom.
He is fire and the sun, and the moon
And the stars. He is the air and the sea,
And the Creator, Prajapati.
He is this boy, he is that girl, he is
This man, he is that woman, and he is
This old man, too, tottering on his staff.
His face is everywhere.
He is the blue bird, he is the green bird
With red eyes; he is the thundercloud,
And he is the seasons and the seas.
He has no beginning, he has no end.
He is the source from which the worlds evolve.
From his divine power comes forth all this
Magical show of name and form, of you
And me, which casts the spell of pain and pleasure.
Only when we pierce through this magic veil
Do we see the One who appears as many.
Two birds of beautiful plumage, comrades
Inseparable, live on the selfsame tree.
One bird eats the fruit of pleasure and pain;
The other looks on without eating.
Forgetting our divine origin,
We become ensnared in the world of change
And bewail our helplessness. But when
We see the Lord of Love in all his glory,
Adored by all, we go beyond sorrow.
What use are the scriptures to anyone
Who knows not the one source from whom they come,
In whom all gods and worlds abide?
Only those who realize him as ever present
Within the heart attain abiding joy.
~~ From the Shvetashvatara Upanishad
Within the heart attain abiding joy.
