Godhead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Felling things she's never known before
It tastes like rotten candy apples
It burns like all the lies she's never heard before
And all her dreams are shattered
On the floor again
And all her tries have failed
And lie among the dust
She hoped would make him see that she was just the one for him
But he never looked
Inside himself
To find the empty heart of cold
That wraps around his soul of black and buries him
In his grave of pain
And all her dreams are shattered
On the floor again
And all her tries have failed
And lie among the dust
He'll never understand why she cannot see the end
Of the world she made for them
And everything she grew to love
She'll never see inside that he told her only lies
And convictions that he had
Just fell into an empty void
And all that really mattered
To make her whole again
Was broken outside
And never came in from the cold
In this song, Godhead paints a vivid picture of a heartbroken woman who is struggling to make sense of the emotions she is feeling. The opening lines, "She cries herself to sleep, feeling things she's never known before," suggest that she is in a lot of pain and that she is struggling to cope with it.
The second line of the song, "It tastes like rotten candy apples, it burns like all the lies she's never heard before," further emphasizes the idea that she is experiencing something very unpleasant. The image of "rotten candy apples" is particularly striking because it suggests that something that is usually sweet and enjoyable has turned sour and bitter.
The chorus of the song, "And all her dreams are shattered on the floor again, and all her tries have failed and lie among the dust," reinforces the idea that this woman has been through a difficult time and that she feels like she has failed. She has put a lot of effort into her relationship, but it has all fallen apart.
The second verse of the song shifts the focus to the man who has caused the woman so much pain. The lines, "He'll never understand why she cannot see the end of the world she made for them, and everything she grew to love she'll never see inside," suggest that he is selfish and lacks empathy for her.
Overall, the song is a poignant exploration of heartbreak and the ways in which we try to make sense of pain that we cannot fully comprehend. It is a powerful reminder that sometimes, things fall apart - and that we must find a way to pick up the pieces and move forward, even when it seems impossible.

Inspirado en mis baños kinky llegue a la conclusion o idea de que..
El rock es capaz de enamorar al mundo entero pero la mitad del mundo nacio escuchando musica fresita y accesible.
