Amanda
John Krueger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can write those letters
And I can sing those songs
We can try to forget that we're so far apart
And the distance is getting longer

Oh, Amanda
Don't run away with my heart
Before it's over
Giving you all
Well I love you more and more each day
So tell me it's okay to not be afraid
Of loving you

I'll fly to New York City
To be with you and this won't be so hard
Cos the telephone just won't cut
The distance between our lives

Oh, Amanda
Don't run away with my heart
Before it's over
Giving you all
Well I love you more and more each day
So tell me it's okay to not be afraid
Of loving you

I'm searching for flights
Or maybe, just maybe I will drive




That's what I'll do
Cos honey I love you, Amanda

Freddy V : The Dream Child (1989)

I like that scene celebrating the fusion of flesh and metal; with all that combination of high speed, smoke, sparks; and all those wires brutally penetrating underneath his skin... it really looks and feels very violent as well as painful, and - though not being a sadist - I have to admit that it's kind of exciting to see the poor boy thus tortured !

_"AAAHHHH !"
_"FUEL INJECTION ... AAA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA !!! ... POWER DRIVE ! FAST LANE !!!"
_"AAAARRRRGH !"

... sounds like some Iron Maiden (or any other heavy-metal group) lyrics ! Ha ha ha ... Freddy is very CRUEL !

I hate that this movie was censored. The people who did the effects on the Nightmare films were incredibly talent. In terms of filmaking, they are work of art.

The Foggy Who?

I remember watching this scene with my older brother and his friends back in the early 90’s. I was around 3-5 years old, all I remembered from this scene were him trying to get to the phone and the wires on the motorcycle injecting into him. As I got older I would wonder what this was from. That’s just the magic of childhood, so many things seen on tv that are just vivid memories of not knowing what they truest were.

This franchise always came through with the video game style deaths that made you wanna writhe in agony with the victim, puke from the gore and just stare in amazement at how cool someone's death could possibly be.

This actually terrified me as a kid. I spent years trying to find what movie this was from and almost started thinking I imagined it all as a kid.

😩😩😩😩 this is what happens when your parents don’t β€œfinish” the job.

I guess it's all a matter of how old you were when you watched it. I was around thirteen and I just found it funny and goofy. But when I saw Tina die in the first movie I was ten and, to this day, it's freaky as fuck.

Albeit this scene is extremely disturbing, ya gotta admit he looks damn cool after the transformation!
