I think that depends on how you define "blue". If it's "blue" as in "lonely" it would kinda make sense to go, "I'm so lonely, my girlfriend is too..." :D

HIM - Join me
Quote:
We are so young our lives have just begun
but already we are considering escape from this world
and we've waited for so long for this moment to come
we're so anxious to be together together in death oh oh

Ref.:
Would you die tonight for love (baby join me in death)
Would you die (baby join me in death)
Would you die tonight for love (baby join me in death)

This world is a cruel place and we're here
only to lose so before life tears us apart let
death bless me with you oh oh

Chorus

This life ain't worth living (x4)

Chorus

Did I get that right? He's saying "You're the love of my life, but life is most likely gonna suck. So let's go and die together." Isn't that what they call EMO nowadays?
Seriously, he even says that he's young, so what tells him that his life can't be good? Especially if he can be with the one he loves? But no, killing yourself is much better... Dude, he'd be f***ed if he'd have to find out that Buddhism is right...

I may be a bit scarier than the average person, but not dumber

So those kids are a german issue only? The ones who say "That song rocks and he's so right. Life can't do anything but suck, so I might as well kill myself." and do exactly that?
If that is so, then please accept my apologies.

You make me tired, songs might suit you in certain moments of your life and teenage is the most complicated period of time for a person when you experience a lot of changes but hei this is the lyrics thread, these things don't belong here. Just wanted to point out how silly was your point if you had one... it's like saying potf fans only think about love and and stuff they sing about. Umm that's it i guess it's better to end this before i get annoyed.

You do realize that I picked only one song, not all of them? Besides, I kinda like the sound of that song, but the lyrics always make me shake my head... They're a bit dangerous for the younger fans... (God, I should really stop... I already sound like one of them 'computer games are evil'-guys...)

I don't think those lyrics are that bad. I'm thinking whoever wrote this is young but life has already branded him, so in order to spare himself from more pain he wants to die. That he wants to take his love with him would then be an act of protection, and of love.

There's so often a layer beneath the most simple and seemingly stupid piece of text that it is equally often stupid to class them as such at first glance. :)

When it comes to Join Me...

Anything can make you commit suicide if you are willing (and stupid enough to be influenced by others) to do it. I just don't understand why this particular song is the worst or more importantly, why the lyrics are the most stupid in that sense. I mean, one can put here many songs which sound like they encourage you to kill yourself or shoot the hell out of others. Why this song? The message is the same as of one of Shakespeare's most famous plays. I assume that also makes people kill themselves (and their loved ones in the process) but I have never heard anyone calling that play stupid.

It's from a Dutch group, and this is not Dutch nor some tropical language, it's just nonsense language, it really doesn't mean anything at all. And they even participated at the song festival with this^^

i kind of agree. The song has the same message in it as 'dont fear the reaper' and thats a classic. But this song sounds far more sinister, and it really makes my blood boil when bands like HIM treat suicide as a casual matter that they can sing about whenever they like.

I think it totally depends on how you look at it. I don't think they mean to sing of suicide as a casual matter, it's just a description of a certain feeling that you sometimes might have. Saying this song encourages people to kill themselves is like saying that Illusion and dream lyrics "I've got no hand in matters wordly, I hardly care at all, what's going on fails to concern me, cause I'm locked behind my wall" should mean "Don't care about anything and lock yourself up in a room and never come out again".

Lyrics are often meant as metaphors and shouldn't be interpreted literally. Thereby I'm not saying there are people who do :P

The death sung about in that HIM song might as well mean something else, you know? Death of your emotions or something.

most likely Rancid Amputation by Cannibal Corpse (and no, i dont listen to this stuff! I heard the Andrew Hansen version. and if you don't know who that is go and buy a copy of the Chasers war on everything season 1 part 2... NOW!"

Ripping through flesh is what I do best
hack off an arm amputate a leg
eyes removed, cranium smashed
decomposing remains severed in half
torsos hanging from their own intestines
raped off all bodilly extensions
stumps writhing with infection
suffering a rancid amputation
my muscles tighten as I feel the rush
I look at your corpse starting to gush
etc. until it ends in the wonderful line...
rape the limbless cadver

now imagine those lyrics sung in a calm voice and played in a lounge style! :D comedy gold! stupid lyrics though

My cousin listens to Cannibal Corpse... shit... complete shit.

Never ever listen to that, NEVER! The words may be written in a gory, twisted sequence but it comes out like:

guyasfbczu fgwuc fwfcnurcgy aecfjjanfmamffmnnaf tgukvnnhgbe

Not worth a second of a life long ago lost.

Die Ärzte - Die Einsamkeit Des Würstchens

Früher, da war ich eine Currywurst
Die Bulette sagte guten Tag

Translation:

Die Ärzte - The loneliness of sausages

I used to be a currysausage
The meatball said "good day"

That's all the text ;) Though in fact it's stupid, it ís funny in some kind of way which makes it pretty cool xD

Oh, guys, you`re so lucky that you haven`t heard anything of bulgarian pop-folk music, or `chalga`... Not only the lyrics, but the melodies are real shit... for example:

`O-o-o, tiger, tiger,
do you have any money any stupid women?
if you don`t have money you`ll have old women!

fighters, give me some money,
give me some money and stupid women
fighters, give me some money,
give me some money and sing until dawn`

That`s one of the most meaningless things I`ve ever heard... I don`t think there is something to add :?

Hahaha, good one! I often wonder how they can write such stupid lyrics... I mean, if I try to do so, I`m sure I won`t be that successful :D

Oh, look this:

`The stones are falling, falling from the sky
A drop has fallen in my heart
I wish, Lenche (this is name) I colud live with you
live with you and sing to you`

:D
