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!
