So to resist this awful temptation I'm going to dissect the first song on the playlist of the C.D. Derek gave me!
The song is... Nightmare, by Avenged Sevenfold. Great way to start off a C.D.
When I first heard this song I started laughing because it's so not the music I typically listen to. Also when the f bomb came up, that was great. But it's really fascinating, especially when examining the lyrics. It's now one of my top 15 favorite songs.
It starts off with this haunting bells or xylophone solo while slowly getting darker and scarier.
Then... BAM the rock music starts. It's the same notes as the bells part but with an electric guitar and keyboard or something.
NIGHTMARE!!
Ashes burning, you can smell it in the air (Today is Ash Wednesday so that's cool)
Still dancing with your demons... trying to resist temptation (Derek) is like dancing with Satan.
It hurts to know that you belong here (in hell)... yeah, that would hurt.
I'm guessing the narrator of this song is like, a demon. Or Satan perhaps. Someone who's taken me into my nightmare where there's no way out. My pain is what they desire. Is the nightmare a metaphor for something? Probably.
Wait. In my lyrics it says the word, 'anekatips' after 'not to fall, fall'. I will look this up later.
My favorite part: "And I know you hear their voices (calling from above), and I know they may seem real (these signals of love), But life's made up of choices (some without appeal).
Maybe these signals of love seem real to me, the signs that I read that Derek is in love with me... but he's telling me I have a choice. Some without appeal... is he saying that I don't find it appealing to be without him, but I have to? Or is he saying that the truth is, he's not that appealing?
All right, let's look up 'anekatips' and find out if this is a legit word in like German or something.
Research results:
"So yeah, Anekatips isn't a word and it isn't in the song. It is just "working fine, no glitches, plug me in and flip some switches". The guy is just slipping his websites name into lyrics."
"anekatips
To alter and replacate or impersonate the original copy. Does not need to be exactly idenical, but enough, to know it is the same as first. Re-Create."
"There is a domain of that name controlled by two servers. As far as I can discover it seems to be a made up name, probably based on the name Anneka which is a variant of the old name Anne or Hanna, a Hebrew name meaning 'blessed with a child'. "
Interesting stuff. I guess it's just a made up word... I'm not really sure. Moving on. :)
"They took for granted your soul and it's ours now to steal" I hope he means that my soul is his to steal. <3
I'm kinda tired of investigating this song now... should I do another song, or just finish this post now?
I know. I'll flip a coin. Heads - another song. Tails - finish the post.
Can't find a coin. Flipping my library card... bar code up, finish the post, color side up, do another song.
Turns out flipping a library card is kind of hard. It landed on bar code up, however. So this is the end of my post. Woohoo!
Some life lessons I have learned today: everyone should just love everyone else. The world is a cruel place. Things are never as they seem. Sex is fun. Guys from other schools always seem more attractive than guys from your school. Homework should always be done at the last minute. Life sucks but it's worth it. Love never lasts.

Wingapo.
Wow, that sounds like a really freaking interesting song! I'm gonna have to check that out.
