 Song 123

Hello everyone! Welcome back to the blog! :) I have a good one for you today, the song is Meanwhile by The Funeral Portrait. I have reviewed their songs before, but I feel like this one is different from the other ones I reviewed by them. So let's get into it. There's no intro, just screaming lyrics. First verse: "You'll never know, you'll never know the pain you caused. The ones you've left, to turn on the inside. When it's black as midnight on a moonless sky, the answers are hidden in plain sight. So when the room turns to red, we'll see those apparitions. No, they can't hurt you now!" I won't analyze this part, so I'll move on to the chorus: "Scare it out of me, the clarity. This isn't who I thought you'd be, I see your image in my dreams. Scare it out of me, the clarity. This isn't who I thought you'd be, I see your image in my dreams." I think I know what they're saying here, realizing that people aren't always who we think they are. I get that. Second verse: "Calmly walk towards me, writhing cold and restless. The letters underneath her nails, they scare the daylight out of me. Her pages read, jai un ame solitaire. She marked the death of virtue, paralyzed by. What has this small town come to? Haunting energy, will apparitions save you? Captivate me, when your hopes become your fears. Contradict me, eat your own God***** heart out." I love how they incorporated French into this song, it's always so cool when other languages are added to songs. The French part means "I have a lonely soul" Wow, that's deep. Then the second verse repeats, but with some added lyrics at the end of it. "Driving us to tears, and making fingers bleed with every fist we make." The song writing on this is incredible. The next part of the song, is something I like to call the pre-bridge. It's like a little verse before the bridge. "Do you cut off your nose, just to spite your face? Do you tear off your skin, just to spite your body? Do you gouge out your eyes, just to spite your face?" I love the edgy meaning behind this part, as well as the delivery on vocals in this section of the song. Now we have the bridge: "Steel yourself, a beautiful soul has left the earth. Washed up on the shore, and they couldn't help but. Wonder who she was, who she was." This part slows down, and is a nice almost haunting melody. I think the person they are talking about throughout this song, was struggling mentally and she unfortunately took her own life. There's another section of this song, that has some new lyrics thrown in. "Paralyzed by haunting energy." I like that. This line is also at the outro of the song, instead of instruments. I like that, you can hear the singer's voice clear at the end. It's a great way to end a masterpiece such as this. 

That is it for this review, see you all in the next one! :)
