"CLOSE MY EYES FOREVER"
By Device featuring Lzzy Hale

David Draiman and Lzzy Hale (Lead singers of Device and Halestorm)
Lyrics of "Close My Eyes Forever"*:

 Baby
I get so scared inside, and I don't really understand
Is it love that's on my mind, or is it fantasy?
Heaven
Is in the palm of my hand, and it's waiting here for you
What am I supposed to do with a childhood tragedy?
If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain unchanged?
If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain the same?
Sometimes
It's hard to hold on
So hard to hold on to my dreams
It isn't always what it seems
When you're face to face with me
You're like a dagger
And stick me in the heart
And taste the blood from my blade
And when we sleep, would you shelter me
In your warm and darkened grave?
If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain unchanged?
If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain the same?
Will you ever take me?
No, I just can't take the pain
But would you ever trust me?
No, I'll never feel the same, Oh
I know I've been so hard on you
I know I've told you lies
If I could have just one more wish
I'd wipe the cobwebs from my eyes
If I close my eyes forever
 Will it all remain unchanged?
If I close my eyes forever
 Will it all remain the same?
Close your eyes 
Meaning: It's a love song. The specifics of it are open for debate.

This song is Song of the Week in honour of Halestorm peforming with Device as the opening band! BEST CONCERT EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Song of the Week- "Sweet Blasphemy"

"SWEET BLASPHEMY"
By Black Veil Brides

Picture
The Lyrics of "Sweet Blasphemy"*:

Through sadness you have taught us to be one with the crowd
Unveil the sacred order, hymns of falling down
You told the greatest stories, of love and bleeding crowns
But to the sick and hungry, you cannot be found
 We are young and we are strong
Through strength in self we become
Something more than they can be
I raise my heart and sing!

 That I won't believe this lie
I know there's something more inside
When darkness is all you'll see
This is our Sweet Blasphemy

 Silence the crooked holy, unchain the tied and bound
No time for allegory, one true reigning sound
Unite the lonely mourning, a simple servant now
We are the only glory, hear us screaming loud
 We are young and we are strong
I raise my heart and sing!

 That I won't believe this lie
I know there's something more inside
When darkness is all you'll see
This is our Sweet Blasphemy

 We are young and we are strong
Through strength in self we become
Something more than they can be
This is our Sweet Blasphemy

 That I won't believe this lie
I know there's something more inside
When darkness is all you'll see
This is our Sweet Blasphemy

 That I won't believe this lie
I know there's something more inside
When darkness is all you see
This is our Sweet Blasphemy

"Sweet Blasphemy" is from Black Veil Brides' first album, We Stitch These Wounds.

The Meaning of "Sweet Blasphemy":

This song seems to be addressing the "holier than thou" attitude that many religious people hold over others because of differences that don't actually effect faith in any way. "These people tell others that they are inferior because of appearance or taste in music, but really God loves us for who we are (supposedly), so why should his people be judging us? " seems to be the message that the song is trying to communicate. Also, it seems to be saying that, "Hey, you ["Christians"] feed me these fantastical stories of love and battle, but I'm working twice as hard as those people in the stories and still coming home every night to an empty table." 

This is an awesome song!
