tears
U.M.A Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thunder roars around me
I've been warned to prepare myself
For the fall
I'm armed to the teeth with tender pain
Of all yesterdays
I will follow into your heart
Sketching rain from afar
Tears on tape
She surrenders needle in arm
While we dance into the storm
Darkness falls
Settling the score with love for once and for all
Soaked in blood I cry
I fear we're lost to the summer rain
Lonely and afraid
Tears on tape
I will follow into your heart
Sketching rain from afar
Tears on tape
She surrenders needle in arm
While we dance into the storm
And for a moment there's no pain
For once there's no more pain in your eyes
And maybe we'll love, just enough
To convince us to keep breathing on
Tears on tape
Tears on tape
I will follow into your heart
Tears on tape
Tears on tape
I will follow you, to your arms
The opening lines of U.M.A.'s song "Tears on Tape" describe a scene of impending doom, setting the tone for the deeply emotional journey that follows. The church bells tolling and thunder roaring around the singer suggest a sense of foreboding, as if the forces of nature are warning them of something to come. The line "I've been warned to prepare myself for the fall" speaks to a sense of inevitability about the pain and sadness that lies ahead.
As the song progresses, we witness the singer struggling with their emotions, armed "to the teeth with tender pain of all yesterdays." This suggests that the weight of past hurts, regrets, and losses is bearing down on them, making it difficult to move forward. However, there is a glimmer of hope in the repeated refrain of "Tears on tape." This phrase may represent the act of capturing one's emotions and turning them into something beautiful, as a way of healing and finding catharsis.
The reference to a needle in arm and dancing into a storm adds a layer of complexity to the song's meaning, suggesting that the singer may be wrestling with addiction or other self-destructive tendencies. Yet there is still a sense of desperation to find solace and connection with others, even in the midst of darkness and turmoil.
Overall, "Tears on Tape" is a poignant meditation on loss, pain, and the human urge to connect and find meaning in the face of overwhelming suffering.

Who's been messing up everything?
It's been Agatha all along
Who's been pulling every evil string?
It's been Agatha all along
She's insidious (Ha, ha!)
So perfidious
That you haven't even noticed
And the pity is (The pity is)
Pity, pity, pity, pity
It's too late to fix anything
Now that everything has gone wrong
Thanks to Agatha (Ha!)
Naughty Agatha
It's been Agatha all along

NOTONEFUCKWASGIVEN CAIO Roger Guenther So you are saying that compromising their artistic integrity to please their die hard fans not a sellout? Is playing the same thing over again over 10 years to never lose fans and cash in with the same old thing despite the composers wanting to try new things not a sellout?
GOOD artist will change and evolve their music style fit their personal preference that changes and evolves as well. Just because that personal preference is not their original concept or that the original fans don't like them does not make them a sellout.
Sellout means:
+Music that the original composers did not create to please mainstream fans
+Music that the composers create (despite wanting to try new things) to please die hard fans
Stop using the term "sellout" just because you don't like their new direction. If you do not like their music then move on.

I just listened to the Kidz Bop version of this.
Oh sweet baby Jesus I don't recommend it. Don't listen to it.
I repeat, don't listen to it.
They don't even say Death do us part
It's This do us part.

UMA THURMAN LYRICS
[Intro]
I can move mountains
I can work a miracle, work a miracle
Oh, oh, keep you like an oath
May nothing but death do us part
[Chorus]
She wants to dance like Uma Thurman
Bury me 'til I confess
She wants to dance like Uma Thurman
And I can't get you out of my head
[Verse 1]
The stench, the stench of summer sex
And CK Eternity, oh hell yes
Divide me down to the smallest I can be
Put your, put your v-v-v-venom in me
[Pre-Chorus]
I can move mountains
I can work a miracle, work a miracle
Oh, oh, keep you like an oath
May nothing but death do us apart
[Chorus]
She wants to dance like Uma Thurman
Bury me 'til I confess
She wants to dance like Uma Thurman
And I can't get you out of my head
[Verse 2]
The blood, the blood, the blood of the lamb
Is worth two lions but here I am
And I slept in last night's clothes and tomorrow's dreams
But they're not quite what they seem
[Pre-Chorus]
I can move mountains
I can work a miracle, work a miracle
Oh, oh, keep you like an oath
May nothing but death do us apart
[Bridge]
You'll find your way
And may death find you alive
Take me down the line
In Gem City we turn the tide
You'll find your way
And may death find you alive
Take me down the line
In Gem City we turn the tide
[Chorus]
She wants to dance like Uma Thurman
Bury me 'til I confess
She wants to dance like Uma Thurman
And I can't get you out of my head

May nothing but death do us apart
