1) HIM (sometimes stylized as H.I.M.) was a Finnish gothic rock band from Helsinki, Finland. Formed in 1991 by vocalist Ville Valo and bassist Mikko "Mige" Paananen under the name His Infernal Majesty, the band broke up in 1993, before being reformed in 1995 by Valo and guitarist Mikko "Linde" Lindstrรถm. After being rejoined by Mige, as well as new additions keyboardist Antto Melasniemi and drummer Juhana "Pรคtkรค" Rantala, the band, now called HIM, released their debut album Greatest Lovesongs Vol. 666 in 1997. In 2000, now with drummer Mika "Gas Lipstick" Karppinen and keyboardist Juska Salminen, the band released the album Razorblade Romance, which reached the number one spot in Finland, Austria and Germany. Their first single, "Join Me in Death", also charted at number one in Finland and Germany, eventually going platinum and gold respectively. Following the addition of Janne "Burton" Puurtinen on keyboards, HIM released Deep Shadows and Brilliant Highlights and Love Metal in 2001 and 2003 respectively. Both cracked the top ten in several countries, and allowed the band to tour the United Kingdom and the United States for the first time.
In 2005, HIM released Dark Light, which became the group's most commercially successful album to date, charting in fifteen countries. With Dark Light, HIM also became the first Finnish group to receive a gold record in the US. In 2007, HIM released Venus Doom, the making of which was marred by problems in Valo's personal life. Despite this, the album gave the band their highest chart position in the US at number twelve. After 2010's Screamworks: Love in Theory and Practice, HIM went on hiatus as drummer Gas Lipstick took medical leave. Following several months of uncertainty, the band regrouped and eventually released the album Tears on Tape in 2013. In 2015, Gas Lipstick announced his departure from the band to pursue other musical projects, and was subsequently replaced by Jukka "Kosmo" Krรถger. On 5 March 2017, HIM announced that the band would be disbanding following a farewell tour in 2017. The band played their final show on New Year's Eve 2017 as a part of their annual Helldone Festival.
HIM is one of the most commercially successful Finnish bands of all time, with sales of over ten million records. The band have released eight studio albums, five compilations, three video releases, and two box sets, along with one live and one remix album. HIM has also received numerous accolades, including eight Emma Awards.
Critics have referred to the music of HIM as gothic rock, gothic metal, alternative rock, alternative metal, and dark rock. The band themselves have referred to their music as "love metal", the title of their fourth studio album. According to Ville Valo, the term "love metal" was coined as a response to people having difficulties categorizing their music.
A central of part of HIM's image has been the heartagram. The heartagram is the trademarked symbol of the band, which was created by vocalist Ville Valo on his twentieth birthday in 1996. A combination of a heart and a pentagram, the heartagram is meant to represent the juxtaposition of "the soft and the hard, the male and the female, the yin and the yang" according to Valo. Musically the heart is also meant to represent the softer side of the band, while the pentagram symbolizes their heavier influences. This juxtaposition was also prevalent in the band's album titles. On their first album, HIM used a heart with "666" inside it as their logo, which Valo later felt was "a bit boring". The heartagram was first predominantly used on the cover of HIM's 2003 album Love Metal, and has since appeared on numerous releases from the band. Valo has later stated that the heartagram "is probably the best thing I've ever come-up with", and that it's "worth a lot more than money" and is "bigger than our band". The heartagram has also made several appearances on TV, including Charmed, LA Ink, Viva La Bam, and Criminal Minds.
2) HiM is a dub influenced post-rock group formed in 1995 by Doug Scharin, drummer for the bands Codeine, Rex and June of 44. Their first album, Egg, was their most dub-based effort. Each successive album has gone more in a quasi-world music direction. After some recording for Crooklyn Dub Consortium and Wordsound, "Interpretive Belief System", HiM settled on a lineup of Scharin with Bundy K. Brown, Rob Mazurek and Jeff Parker, members or occasional members of Tortoise and Isotope 217. Their first album was the underground hit Sworn Eyes, produced by Doug Scharin. A few personnel changes followed, and the revamped lineup including members of June of 44. Golden released Our Point of Departure in 1999, which signified a very clear shift toward a more jazz-like sound, followed by a major American and European tour. In 2003, HiM released Many In High Places Are Not Well on Fat Cat Records, which was received as their most successful and fully realized release. Peoples was released in mid-2006, featuring a cleaner sound with more vocals than any of HiM's previous releases. Included in this line-up are Martin Perna and Jordan McLean from Antibalas, Griffin Rodriguez from Need New Body/Icy Demons, Adam Pierce (Mice Parade).
The latest HiM records, "1110" and ใ,released in 2008 and 2009 on Afterhours in Tokyo, are collaborations between Doug Scharin, Josh Larue and the Tokyo-based group, Ultra Living.

HIM Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I ran away again. I wonder, have I been forsaken
I want to hear you call this man a child of God, forgiven
So much wasted time twisted up in lies, so senseless
Youโve been here all along. You loved me through the wrong, relentless
Here we are again
Iโm calloused and broken, tired and worn
Standing in your grace, undeserved, unearned
Forgiven here I am
I was caught up in the world
Thought I didnโt need you, but you chased after me
You opened up your arms, embraced me in your mercy
Oh, you love me
Open up the skies. Scales fall off my eyes, I see you
You say Iโm your friend. You make me whole again. I need you
Here we are again
Iโm calloused and broken, tired and worn
Standing in your grace, undeserved, unearned
Forgiven here I am
I was caught up in the world
Thought I didnโt need you, but you chased after me
You opened up your arms, embraced me in your mercy
Oh, you love me
I know that you never give up, never give up on me
I know that your grace is enough, grace is enough for me
I know that you never give up, never give up on me
I know that your grace is enough, grace is enough for me
I know that you never give up, never give up on me
I know that your grace is enough, grace is enough for me
I know that you never give up, never give up on me
I know that your grace is enough, grace is enough for me

The lyrics of "Again" by HIM are about the cyclical nature of a troubled relationship. The singer observes that the person they are addressing has "turned their back on love again" and is heading down a familiar path of despair. The repeated refrain of "despair kissing our lips again" and "despair holding our hearts again" emphasizes the sense of hopelessness and futility in trying to break the pattern.
The verses suggest that the singer has been hurt in the past by this person and fears being hurt again. They wonder if the other person will notice their pain ("will you see me crying behind your back again") and if they will care about it ("and you hear my heart beat slowly down again"). There is an underlying sense of resignation and acceptance that this is just the way things are: "oh baby yes I feel / despair kissing our lips again."
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of emotional exhaustion and a longing for something different, but also a recognition that change may not be possible.

Him again
You are back in my life
I've seen
I have noticed your return
I see you've turned your back on love again
You have given up on love once more
And I feel
I am experiencing
And I feel your stumbling down that road again
I sense you falling back into old patterns
Despair kissing our lips again
We are feeling hopeless and defeated
Despair holding our hearts again, yeah
Our sadness and despair is weighing heavy on us
Will you see
Will you notice
Me crying behind your back again
Will you be aware of my tears and pain
And you hear
And you are listening
My heart beat slowly down again
My heart is breaking once more
Oh baby yes I feel
Oh I am definitely experiencing
Despair kissing our lips again
We are succumbing to a sense of hopelessness
Despair holding our hearts again
Our sadness and despair is taking over our emotions
Despair holding our hearts again, oho
Our despair is consuming us completely
That's right
Yes, it's true
Yeah

@MarcelineYT
I have a story for y'all.
When I first heard this song, this version โ it was in haggard.
And during the time I had gone through my extreme HIM/CKY phase, I was addicted to H***in.
(censoring in case that's sensitive)
Now, I was practically rock bottom. I had been for 2ยฝ years.
A man took advantage of me during my vulnerability, and actually enjoyed seeing me หcrazy and fked up.ห I knew it was wrong to listen to an enabler, but at the time, my judgement was clouded.
He wanted to have someone like me, someone that couldn't run away.
Someone he could use. A ragdoll.
Now, despite all the negative things that had happened to me, I overcame my addition. I found my place, and peace.
โฆand this band was there for me.
If you're wondering why I chose to tell my story here, well, this song has it's own special way of explaining it.
