Apocalyptica - I'm Not Jesus

Song: I'm Not Jesus

Artist: Apocalyptica (Feat. Corey Taylor)

Album: Worlds Collide

Apocalyptica is a Finnish metal band from Helsinki, Finland.

I'm Not Jesus is a single from Apocalyptica's sixth studio album, Worlds Collide, which was released in 2007. As I've said before on other posts about Apocalyptica songs, they have no lead singer and most of their music does not have lyrics. The songs that do have lyrics are sung by guest singers. I'm Not Jesus is sung by Corey Taylor, who is the lead singer of both Slipknot (an American metal band from Des Moines, Iowa) and Stone Sour (an American rock band also from Des Moines, Iowa). The song I'm Not Jesus is sung from the perspective of someone sexually abused as a child by a priest. The song is confrontational toward the priest. Corey is a very good singer of metal and rock. His voice fits this song perfectly. As I've said before I love Apocalyptica's mixture of metal and classical music. This song is loud, angry and the lyrics speak of something truly terrible. I think the song should make people think about what has happened and how we shouldn't let people get away with such abuse just because they are in a position of authority

"I'm Not Jesus"

Dirty little secret
Dirty little lies
Say your prayers and comb your hair
Save your soul tonight

Drift among the faithful
Bury your desires
Aberrations fill your head
You need a place to hide
And I am

Do you remember me?
And the kid I used to be?
Do you remember me?

[Chorus:]
When your world's come crashing down
I want to be there.
Your god is looking down on me!
I'm not Jesus,
Jesus wasn't there!

You could confess it all away,
But it's only shit to me
Your god ain't looking down on me!
I'm not Jesus,
I will not forgive!

No I won't! [2x]

I've thought you were a good man,
I've thought you talked to god.
Your hippocratic, messianic, child abusing, turned satanic.

Do you remember me?
Do you remember me?
And the kid I used to be?
Do you remember?
Do you remember?

[Chorus:]
When your own world comes undone,
Let me be the one to say:
I'm not Jesus,
You can't run away!

And the innocence you spoil
Find a way to live
Your god is looking down on me!
I'm not Jesus
I will not forgive!

I won't forgive.
I won't be whatever you want to.
[2x]

Do you remember me?
And the kid I used to be?
Not the same as I used to be!
Oh, do you remember me?

No!

[Chorus:]
When your world's come crashing down,
I want to be there
Your god is looking down on me
I'm not Jesus
Jesus wasn't there!

You could confess it all away,
But it's only shit to me!
Your god is looking down on me!
I'm not Jesus,
I will not,
I'm not Jesus,
I will not forgive!

Oh, I will not forgive, yeah yeah!
No, I will not forgive!

Apocalyptica - Not Strong Enough

Song: Not Strong Enough
Artist: Apocalyptica (Featuring Brent Smith)
Album: 7th Symphony

Apocalyptica is a Finnish metal band from Helsinki, Finland.

Not Strong Enough is the third single from Apocalyptica's 2010 album 7th Symphony. 7th Symphony is the bands seventh studio album. I think the song Not Strong Enough is about someone (and sung from this person's point of view) who is in a relationship where part of him wants to leave because he knows the relationship isn't good but he can't because he's so attached to the object of his love. This person feels that he is not strong enough to walk away. As Apocalytica has no singer and most of their songs have no lyrics this song features guest singer Brent Smith. Brent Smith is the lead singer of American rock band Shinedown. I love Apocalyptica's music. The melding of classical music and metal is amazing.

"Not Strong Enough"

I'm not strong enough to stay away.
Can't run from you
I just run back to you.
Like a moth I'm drawn in to your flame,
Say my name, but it's not the same.
You look in my eyes I'm stripped of my pride.
And my soul surrenders and you bring my heart to its knees.

[Chorus:]
And it's killin' me when you're away, I wanna leave and I wanna stay.
I'm so confused,So hard to choose.
Between the pleasure and the pain.
And I know it's wrong, and I know it's right.
Even if I try to win the fight, my heart would overrule my mind.
And I'm not strong enough to stay away

I'm not strong enough to stay away
What can I do
I would die without you
In your presence my heart knows no shame
I'm not to blame
Cause you bring my heart to its knees

[Chorus]

There's nothing I can do
My heart is chained to you
And I can't get free
Look what this love's done to me

[Chorus]

I'm not strong enough, strong enough
I'm not strong enough, strong enough
I'm not strong enough to stay away
I'm not strong enough, strong enough
I'm not strong enough, strong enough
I'm not strong enough to stay away

Apocalyptica - I Don't Care

Song: I Don't Care

Artist: Apocalyptica (Featuring Adam Gontier of Three Days Grace)

Album: Worlds Collide

Apocalyptica is a metal band from Helsinki, Finland.

I first got into Apocalytica when I heard that Adam Gontier the lead singer of Three Days Grace sang on their song I Don’t Care. Apocalyptica is made up of three classically trained cellists and a drummer. They started out playing covers of Metallica songs on their cellos and then began writing originals. Apocalyptica has no singer and the majority of their songs have no lyrics. When an Apocalyptica song does have lyrics it is sung by a guest singer, in this case Adam Gontier. Lyrically I think the song is about trying to get past a bad, unhealthy, possibly abusive relationship with a significant other, relative or friend, and also maybe about the anger felt towards that person for the lies they told and the shit they put you through. I think it's about leaving or walking away from a relationship with someone who does nothing but hurt you and maybe telling that person to go to hell and that you don't need to take their shit anymore. About deciding that you don’t need that person in your life because they aren’t worth the pain they cause you. I love Apocalyptica’s sound, an amazing mixture of classical and metal music, and I also love Adam Gontier’s voice. Put them together and it’s great times two.

"I Don't Care"

I try to make it through my life
In my way
There's you
I try to make it through these lies
And that's all I do

Just don't deny it
Don't try to fight this
And deal with it
And that's just part of it

If you were dead or still alive
I don't care
I don't care
Just go and leave this all behind
Cause I swear (I swear)
I don't care

I try to make you see my side
I always try to stay in line
But your eyes see right through
That's all they do

Getting buried in this place
I got no room you're in my face
Don't say anything
Just go away

If you were dead or still alive
I don't care
I don't care
Just go and leave this all behind
'cause I swear (I swear)
I don't care

[x2]
I'm changing everything
You won't be there for me

If you were dead or still alive,
I don't care,
I don't care,
Just go and leave this all behind
'cause I swear (I swear)
I don't care

If you were dead or still alive,
I don't care
I don't care
And all the things you left behind
I don't care (I swear)
I don't care
At all
