Stone Sour - Through Glass

Song: Through Glass

Artist: Stone Sour

Album: Come What(ever) May

Stone Sour is an American rock band from des Moines, Iowa.

The song Through Glass is the second single from Stone Sour's second studio album. The album was released in 2006. I think the song is about celebrities being fake, and plastic. About how a lot of plastic celebrities are making 'entertainment' that has no real meaning and no real value. I think it's about how with some celebrities it's way more about what they wear than what they actually do. The lyrics "How much is real? So much to question. An epidemic of the mannequins, Contaminating everything" says it all. The music video shows the band at a party full of people like the aforementioned fake celebrities. As the band members walk around the party, these people turn into cardboard cut outs. I really like lead vocalist Corey Taylor's voice. The song is awesome and I really like it.

"Through Glass"

I'm looking at you through the glass...
Don't know how much time has passed
Oh, god it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever
Feels like home sitting all alone inside your head

How do you feel? That is the question
But I forget.. you don't expect an easy answer
When something like a soul becomes
Initialized and folded up like paper dolls and little notes
You can't expect a bit of hope
So while you're outside looking in
Describing what you see
Remember what you're staring at is me

Cause I'm looking at you through the glass...
Don't know how much time has passed
All I know is that it feels like forever
When no one ever tells you that forever
Feels like home, sitting all alone inside your head

How much is real? So much to question
An epidemic of the mannequins
Contaminating everything
When thought came from the heart
It never did right from the start
Just listen to the noises
(Null and void instead of voices)
Before you tell yourself
It's just a different scene
Remember it's just different from what you've seen

I'm looking at you through the glass...
Don't know how much time has passed
And all I know is that it feels like forever
When no one ever tells you that forever
Feels like home, sitting all alone inside your head

And it's the starrrssss
The sttarrrsss
That shine for you
And it's the starrrssss
The sttarrrsss
That lie to you.. yeah-ah

I'm looking at you through the glass...
Don't know how much time has passed
Oh, god it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever
Feels like home, sitting all alone inside your head

'Cause I'm looking at you through the glass...
Don't know how much time has passed
All I know is that it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever
Feels like home, sitting all alone inside your heaaaaddd

And it's the starrrssss
The sttarrrsss
That shine for you.. yeah-ah
And it's the starrrssss
The sttarrrsss
That lie to you.. yeah-ah

And it's the starrrssss
The sttarrrsss
That shine for you.. yeah-ah
And it's the starrrssss
The sttarrrsss
That lie to you.. yeah-ah yeah

Ohhhoh when the starrs
Ohhh oh when the starrrrs that liieee

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!
