I quite enjoy most songs by nightwish (old singer Tarja, not the new "pop-rock" girl who is there now) Seemed the old lyrics had more deeper meaning then they do now.. A lot of good messages decoded into little riddles.

Even a song which sounds superficial like "Pour Some Sugar On Me" by Def Leppard supposedly have a few deeper meanings Oh for classic rock
A Song for Blakey.... "I keep playin' it inside my head All that you said to me I lie awake just to convince myself This wasn't just a dream 'Cause you were right here And I should've taken the chance But I got so scared And I lost the moment again It's all that I can think about, oh You're all that I can think about Is your heart taken? Is there somebody else on your mind? I'm so sorry, I'm so confused Just tell me, am I out of time? Is your heart breaking? How do you feel about me now? I can't believe I let you walk away When, when I should have kissed you I should, I should oh, I should have kissed you I should, I should oh, I should have kissed you I should, I should oh, I should have kissed you I should, I should oh, I should have kissed you Every morning when I leave my house I always look for you, yeah. I see you everytime I close my eyes What am I gonna do? And all my friends say That I'm punching over my weight But in your eyes I Saw how you were looking at me It's all that I can think about, oh You're all that I can think about Is your heart taken? Is there somebody else on your mind? I'm so sorry, I'm so confused Just tell me, am I out of time? Is your heart breaking? How do you feel about me now? I can't believe I let you walk away When, when I Should Have Kissed You I should, I should oh, I should have kissed you I should, I should oh, I should have kissed you I should, I should oh, I should have kissed you I should, I should oh, I should have kissed you When you stood there Just a heartbeat away When we were dancing, And you looked up at me If I had known then That I'd be feeling this way If I could replay I would have never let you go No, oh Never have let you go Am I out of time? Is your heart taken? Is there somebody else on your mind? I'm so sorry, I'm so confused Just tell me, am I out of time? Is your heart breaking? How do you feel about me now? I can't believe I let you walk away When, when I Should Have Kissed You I should, I should oh, I should have kissed you I should, I should oh, I should have kissed you I should, I should oh, I should have kissed you I should, I should oh, I should have kissed you I should have kissed you" This song = Exactly how I feel...
You're dead! You're dead! Your body's cold, Hope is lost, I can't let go, Can I die with you, So we can never grow old? Cut the ties (Cut the ties) With this note you left behind As I read the words I hear you telling me why Too late, too late I never said goodbye Too late, too late Can't even ask you why And now I'm wasting away In my own misery I hope you've finally gone, To a place where you belong My sadness shows, As your name is carved in stone Can't erase the words so the reality grows I wish I died (I wish I died) On that night right by your side So just kill me now and let the good times roll Too late, too late I never said goodbye Too late, too late Can't even ask you why And now I'm wasting away In my on misery I hope you've finally gone To a place where you belong Will you wait for me? (Will you wait for me?) Will I see you on the other side? You won't have to wait too long Ye-yeh-eh-yeah Will you come to me? (Will you come to me?) Will you take me to the other side? 'Cause here I don't belong Too late, too late I never said goodbye Too late, too late Can't even ask you why And now I'm wasting away In my on misery I hope you're finally go To a place where you belong I never said goodbye Can't even ask you why I'm wasting! Away in my on misery I hope you've finally gone To a place where you belong!
Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play? Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day The sun is up, the sky is blue It's beautiful and so are you Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play? Dear Prudence, open up your eyes Dear Prudence, see the sunny skies The wind is low, the birds will sing That you are part of everything Dear Prudence, won't you open up your eyes?

Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play? Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day The sun is up, the sky is blue It's beautiful and so are you Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play? - Beatles
I once knew a nigga whose real name was William His primary concern, was making a million Being the illest hustler, that the world ever seen He used to fuck movie stars and sniff coke in his dreams A corrupted young mind, at the age of thirteen Nigga never had a father and his mom was a fiend She put the pipe down, but every year she was sober Her son's heart simultaneously grew colder He started hanging out selling bags in the projects Checking the young chicks, looking for hit and run prospects He was fascinated by material objects But he understood money never bought respect He built a reputation 'cause he could hustle and steal But got locked once and didn't hesitate to squeal So criminals he chilled with didn't think he was real You see me and niggas like this have never been equal I don't project my insecurities on other people He fiended for props like addicts with pipes and needles So he felt he had to prove to everyone he was evil A feeble-minded young man with infinite potential The product of a ghetto breed capitalistic mental Coincidentally dropped out of school to sell weed Dancing with the devil, smoked until his eyes would bleed But he was sick of selling trees and gave in to his greed Everyone trying to be trife never face the consequences You probably only did a month for minor offences Ask a nigga doing life if he had another chance But then again there's always the wicked that knew in advance Dance forever with the devil on a cold cell block But that's what happens when you rape, murder and sell rock Devils used to be gods, angels that fell from the top There's no diversity because we're burning in the melting pot So Billy started robbing niggas, anything he could do To get his respect back, in the eyes of his crew Starting fights over little shit, up on the block Stepped up to selling mothers and brothers the crack rock Working overtime for making money for the crack spot Hit the jackpot and wanted to move up to cocaine fulfilling the scarface fantasy stuck in his brain Tired of the block niggas treating him the same He wanted to be major like the cut throats and the thugs But when he tried to step to 'em, niggas showed him no love They told him any motherfucking coward can sell drugs Any bitch nigga with a gun, can bust slugs Any nigga with a red shirt can front like a blood Even Puffy smoked a motherfucker up in a club But only a real thug can stab someone till they die Standing in front of them, staring straight into their eyes Billy realized that these men were well guarded And they wanted to test him, before business started Suggested raping a bitch to prove he was cold hearted So now he had a choice between going back to his life Or making money with made men, up in the cife His dreams about cars and ice, made him agree A hardcore nigga is all he ever wanted to be And so he met them Friday night at a quarter to three Everyone trying to be trife never face the consequences You probably only did a month for minor offences Ask a nigga doing life if he had another chance But then again there's always the wicked that knew in advance Dance forever with the devil on a cold cell block But that's what happens when you rape, murder and sell rock Devils used to be gods, angels that fell from the top There's no diversity because we're burning in the melting pot They drove around the projects slow while it was raining Smoking blunts, drinking and joking for entertainment Until they saw a woman on the street walking alone Three in the morning, coming back from work, on her way home And so they quietly got out the car and followed her Walking through the projects, the darkness swallowed her They wrapped her shirt around her head and knocked her onto the floor This is it kid now you got your chance to be raw So Billy yoked her up and grabbed the chick by the hair And dragged her into a lobby that had nobody there She struggled hard but they forced her to go up the stairs They got to the roof and then held her down on the ground Screaming, "Shut the fuck up and stop moving around!" The shirt covered her face, but she screamed and clawed So Billy stomped on the bitch, until he had broken her jaw The dirty bastards knew exactly what they were doing They kicked her until they cracked her ribs and she stopped moving Blood leaking through the cloth, she cried silently And then they all proceeded to rape her violently Billy was made to go first, but each of them took a turn Ripping her up, and choking her until her throat burned A broken jaw mumbled for guards but they weren't concerned When they were done and she was lying bloody, broken and bruised One of them niggas pulled out a brand new twenty-two They told him that she was a witness of what she'd gone through And if he killed her he was guaranteed a spot in the crew He thought about it for a minute, she was practically dead And so he leaned over and put the gun right to her head I'm falling and I can't turn back I'm falling and I can't turn back Right before he pulled the trigger, and ended her life He thought about the cocaine with the platinum and ice And he felt strong standing along with his new brothers Cocked the gat to her head, and pulled back the shirt cover But what he saw made him start to cringe and stutter Cause he was staring into the eyes of his own mother She looked back at him and cried, cause he had forsaken her She cried more painfully, than when they were raping her His whole world stopped, he couldn't even contemplate His corruption had successfully changed his fate And he remembered how his mom used to come home late Working hard for nothing, cause now what was he worth He turned away from the woman that had once given him birth And crying out to the sky cause he was lonely and scared But only the devil responded, cause god wasn't there And right then he knew what it was to be empty and cold And so he jumped off the roof and died with no soul They say death takes you to a better place but I doubt it After that they killed his mother, and never spoke about it And listen cause the story that I'm telling is true Cause I was there with Billy Jacobs and I raped his mom too And now the devil follows me everywhere that I go In fact I'm sure he's standing among one of you at my shows And every street cypher listening to little thugs flow He could be standing right next to you, and you wouldn't know The devil grows inside the hearts of the selfish and wicked White, brown, yellow and black color is not restricted You have a self destructive destiny when you're inflicted And you'll be one of god's children that fell from the top There's no diversity because we're burning in the melting pot So when the devil wants to dance with you, you better say never Because the dance with the devil might last you forever -Immortal Technique
