So, I feel like writing about 3 songs I've been listening to
a lot lately. The songs are "Get Even" by Angelspit, "Head
Kult" by Angelspit, and "Band Aid Covers The Bullet Hole" by
Scarling.

"Get Even" by Angelspit

With these milky lips
We're kissing violence
On these loving tongues
we burn up kings

Turn your fucking cheek
I'm gonna drive the knife through
Your stench of deceit
Before you get a chance to

Your sharp intellect
With crippling silence
Slip between the sheets
Stealthy compliance

Den of lying snakes
2 faced junkie social mores
Mandrake concentrate
I'll give you fucking sores

Shadow whisper breaking chalice
Burning candle blackened malice
Casting circles weeping callous (don't get mad)
Voodoo pinning devil jealous (get even)

first light a fire
next wicked speak
burn singe the hair
vex seal with spit

I am your sweet regret
With protective shell
Gently drag you down
though this dirty hell

Blood brothers, narcissism
Duplicity isn't new
spit sisters, egotism
Watch me while I throttle you

Full of frailty
Growing desperate
To insanity
Pervert flesh on a plate

Scream out treachery
Everyone likes to look
They just want to see you
Dancing on a meat hook

Shadow whisper breaking chalice
Burning candle blackened malice
Casting circles weeping callous (don't get mad)
Voodoo pinning devil jealous (get even)

first light a fire
next wicked speak
burn singe the hair
vex seal with spit

Dance of darkness beats
Spent words misconstrued
Under dermis seethes
Entertainment for the few
Mouth loaded with a gun
Trap door with vocal chords
God puppet beats a drum
Entertainment for the bored
Zombie doll with wings
Feasting on rot
Evil siren sings
cast the fat lot
Vulture rip away
Scavenging parasite
Full blown soul decay
Under the silver knife

So, this is obviously about revenge, but it's not your
typical revenge song. It goes deeper than that. This is
about black magick. And I'm not sure about this one, but I
don't think it's about revenge on just one person. I think
this is about revenge on society. This is about causing
anarchy as revenge.

Next song!

"Head Kult" by Angelspit

Ripe for the slaughter; hiding in the naive
Meat racked on crucifix for the slaves
Drunk on the blood from a random Christ
House of the skulls and the Church of Ice

Pious vermin
Incarceration
Spineless minions
Flesh for the lions

Head Kult
Pigs revolt
Can’t stop them groveling
Let them rot

Head Kult
Pigs revolt
Can’t stop them groveling
Let them rot

Mind of a martyr; body of a child
Insane hallucinate suicide
Delusional salvation a pathetic farce
A higher seat in Heaven closer to God’s arse

Mindless hunger
Abide in rancor
The sheep confide
Heathen pesticide

Head Kult
Pigs revolt
Can’t stop them groveling
Let them rot

Head Kult
Pigs revolt
Can’t stop them groveling
Let them rot

Head Kult
Pigs revolt
Can’t stop them groveling
Let them rot

Head Kult
Pigs revolt
Can’t stop them groveling
Let them rot

Nail one more angel head to your door
Pin another demon’s arm on to the wall
Death and knowledge
Verses bliss and bland

Which part of 'fuck off' don’t you understand?

Pious vermin
Incarceration
Spineless minions
Flesh for the lions

Mindless hunger
Abide in rancor
The sheep confide
Heathen pesticide

Head Kult
Pigs revolt
Can’t stop them groveling
Let them rot

Head Kult
Pigs revolt
Can’t stop them groveling
Let them rot

Head Kult
Pigs revolt
Can’t stop them groveling
Let them rot

Head Kult
Pigs revolt
Can’t stop them groveling
Let them rot

Head Kult
Pigs revolt
Head Kult
Pigs revolt
Head Kult
Head Kult

So, I think it's pretty clear that it's about religion.
Christianity, to be exact. The line "flesh for the lions" is
a reference to the Bible story "Daniel in the Lions Den".
For those of you who don't know the story, it's about a man
named Daniel who was very faithful to God and he was facing
death for his beliefs. He got thrown into the lions den as a
death sentence and God basically saved him because he
prayed. At least, that's how I remember the story. I'm not
sure about this one, but "delusional salvation a pathetic
farce" means that the insane idea that the church will
deliver us from sin is a humorous idea and a marketing tool
that grants us a "higher seat in Heaven". "The sheep
confide" might refer to confession and how people confide in
the priest so he can basically cleanse them from sin.
"Heathen pesticide" might refer to the fact that
Christianity scares people out of "sinning" with the threat
that they will go to Hell. That's all I've got for that one.

Now, for the last one.

"Band Aid Covers The Bullet Hole" by Scarling

Bees in the caramel and I'm not afraid
Surgeons make incisions
What a mess they've made
Tearing at my skin leaving knives in my brain
Stabbing at the voices making me insane
Girls vomit candy and lies that they're fed.
Boys whisper lullabies and wet their beds
Eat TV violence on the toast that they spread
Talking with their mouths full here is what they've said

Say hello to my little friend the world is getting ugly
and we did it again....
Say hello to my little friend the world is getting ugly
and we did it again
Oh Uh Oh the band aid only covers the bullet hole
oh uh oh the band aid only covers the bullet hole

La la la la la la la la la

Spiders in my hair and guns on my mind
Thinking about the people who've been so unkind
If looks could kill them
I might make myself blind
Startled at the reasons that I just can't find
Kids break the dishes they crash on the floor
Parents hate the noise and shove them out the door
Robots steal emotions hide them under their beds
It gets them so excited
Here is what they've said

Say hello to my little friend the world is getting ugly
and we did it again....
Say hello to my little friend the world is getting ugly
and we did it again....
Oh uh oh the band aid only covers the bullet hole
Oh uh oh the band aid only covers the bullet hole

The band aid only covers the bullet hole
la la la la la la la la la blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah.

Now this one's got me very confused! I think it might be
about how superficial things are.

[Bees in the caramel and I'm not afraid
Surgeons make incisions
what a mess they've made
Tearing at my skin leaving knives in my brain
Stabbing at the voices making me insane]

I think this is about how when someone thinks differently,
they are immediately thought of as "crazy" so people go in
and try to fix something that doesn't really need fixing.

[Girls vomit candy and lies that they're fed]

I think this is about how the media feeds girls these stupid
ideas about what beauty is, which leads to eating disorders.

[Boys whisper lullabies]

This might mean that boys aren't allowed to cry because they
need to be "strong" so they privately whisper comforting
words to themselves to make themselves feel better.

[and wet their beds]

This could mean that boys cry themselves to sleep when no
one is watching, so the tears get on the pillow and everything.

[Eat TV violence on the toast that they spread]

This could refer to how we see violence on TV so much that
it doesn't bother us anymore, instead we eat it up as
entertainment.

The chorus is saying that the world has gotten very ugly
because of how superficial things are.

[Kids break the dishes they crash on the floor
Parents hate the noise and shove them out the door]

I think this means that when a child does something that's
considered unacceptable, the parents ship them off to
someplace that will "fix" the child where [Robots steal
emotions] and [hide them under their beds.]

That's all I've got for now!
