Song 84

 Song 84

You might want to brace yourselves for today's song! This is probably going to be one of the craziest song reviews I have ever done, but before I get into that I have a couple things to say first. Somebody very special to me sent me this song, huge thank you to them! <3  Next is the content of this song isn't for everyone, and you will see when I analyze the lyrics. So if they trigger you at all, then I recomend you don't read any further. 

Ok, on with the review! This song is over nine minutes long, and has a lot of dimensions. Including a speaking part, which I found really cool. The intro is probably one of the longest parts of the song, but it's very slow going at first. Oh oops I forgot to say the title and artist, my bad lol. Okay today's song is called Further Than Forever by Creeper! Now I reviewed another on of their songs I think a few months ago, but this one is totally different. Like I was saying about the intro, it starts off with this tinkling sound. But then goes into a hard guitar riff. A little further in, and now it sounds completely different! I love complex songs like this, where there's a lot of elements. And it's like a song, within a song, within a song. Some examples would be: Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, or Welcome to the Black Parade by MCR. Once you get past the intro, the first verse begins: "Further than forever, deeper than a dream. I was the night, you, the terrifying light. And our kiss could end a life. The city was a poison in my veins, I crossed the line between a sinner and a saint. Knock knocking boots on heaven's floor. While a band of angels stood appalled, get down on your knees and pray." Pre-chorus: "God*****, God bless, go get undressed. You better count your rosary. Divine intervention won't save a soul like me."  I think what I can gather from this is that basically he's saying that he's not perfect. That's pretty much it, lol. Okay, then we have the chorus: "My Armageddon girl, could end your world with one look. She'll drain the blood, and drag you from the light. (Ooh-ooh) with a city of devils,) (Ah-ah) she's killing angels, (Ooh-ooh) just to watch them die." Then maybe she has some deep psychological issues she needs to work out, lol but seriously I think what he's saying here is that this girl is dangerous, and you should watch your back. Second verse: "I'm a devil doing good deeds instead, I'm Jesus in a strip club giving head. Baby, I'm always dying, never dead. Cry, cry, cry, my darling. Till the tears turn red. And stain the sheets upon your bed." I actually love part of this verse, and it's the last line. I find it very deep, and raw. Next is the talking part: "And at the edge of forever, I saw her. A phantom, a specter in the snow. She took my by the hand, and led me through the frost bitten night. She spoke of communion in the depths of eternity, of evil and sin. Through the cathedral grounds, we walked over graves and moss covered tombs. Under a sea of guilty hung stars, she laid with me. And it was then when she took me, when she sunk herself inside me like a stone. Thrown into the abyss of the ocean, I saw the famous light. I saw agony and ecstasy as I lost myself. Th headstones stood proud above us, and witnessed my death. And rebirth. Dragged down to hell! Hell! Are you brave enough to dream, are you brave enough to dream? I came way down to hell! Hell!" You get the idea. I like the fact that they added a speaking part, I think that's really cool. Are they the first band to do this? no, but it's still cool. Then the chorus repeats one final time, but this time it's also the outro as well. Which means that it's a little softer on the instrumentals, and the vocals also get a little more soft. That's not the case with every song, for this one it is. I like how the outro slowly starts to fade at the end, that's one of my favourite ways to end songs. I think that covers everything, it's a little hard to understand what it's fully about. But I think the just of it is, he's not perfect and there's a girl who's also not perfect. But then they find solace in each other, and know that they don't have to be perfect. Of course that's just my interpretation, and I could be wrong. But that's just how I see it. 

A really unique song, with a lot going on. I really hope you consider checking it out, trust me it is worth it! See you next time :)
