@GomJabber11 I've always viewed it as the beginning of a relationship. There's always that time that you sit down and wonder whether this is going to the one who makes you happy forever (blessing), or is it going to be the one who takes your heart and runs (curse). To be honest though, it's pretty open ended.
I love how almost all the comments on this video are actually related to how good the music is, I don't even know why I bother reading the comments on most videos: Comment remarking on the amount of dislikes, Comment about how mainstream music sucks, Comment saying something in the suggestion bar sucks. I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT. Thank you my fellow meatloaf fans for not doing this, you guys are almost as awesome as this music.
i did got to the pub to hear this song in my way of seeing what this song is about is that you r with some one and knowing it will not last but u try anyway even thou it hurts doing so but what can u do
I am a lifetime Meatloaf fan, and as I get older (I am only 20) I find that I understand more and more the depths I felt in his songs even as a child.
I want to know how many people really knwo what he is singing about, becuase you wouldn't think it is so pretty if you did. I do love this song though and I love Meat :D
The lyrics in this song are just beautiful...they give me the chills....and I think the "it" in this song is the feeling of not feeling anything at all, or numbness...anyone else agree? if u think about the lyrics it kinda makes since.
I always thought he was singing about being cursed to look ugly. I used to think this song was the Prequel to 'I'd do anything for love' explaining how he cursed :s
ever since i was a little girl my dad and i have listen to meatloaf together. his songs were my lullaby. in fact meatloaf is such a favorite of mine i played one on their songs at my father's funeral.
i gotta say... modern society is a pain! I LOVE Meat Loaf's music yet i get shunned for it... people at school are all the time laughing at me for carrying around my father's cassette tape player... i even broke up with my ex cause she said Meat Loaf sucked! thats how strongly i feel about his music... adn im only 14! ROCK ON FOREVER MEAT LOAF!!!
@Mabozarichy123 Haha I'm 14 and i'm obsessed with him too, he's amazing I know every song he's ever done by heart...it's awesomee that there are still some kids out there that listen to good music:D
@rhettpeter83 Its like if an epic Fantasy crashed into a horny teenagers mind and formed a divine version of Heavy Metal but with rock and roll and motorcycles.
It's a subway going down to the pits! (Ha ha!) No, seriously, I don't know what a lot of Meat Loaf's songs are about 'cause I don't do enough drugs to understand his lyrics, but I still think he's a great singer!
I like that one! I have listened to this song for years, and my first and lasting impression has been it is some sort of memory (either good or bad) that one cannot escape from, and that can be a lot of things, and love certainly falls into that field of play. Either way, one of my favorites of all Meat Loaf songs!
The Monster Is Loose has an equal share of songs that deserve to be on the record, but just as many that dont...personally, for me that's every Steinman song there, with the addition of Blind as a Bat and minus Cry to Heaven. What About Love, In the Land of the Pigs, If God Could Talk...these songs are absolutely amazing, definetly worthy of a Bat out ofHell album
lol I suppose Bat 3 holds a special place because I was listening to it while traveling around Italy, so whenever I hear "alive" or "cry over me" I'm instantly transported back to the towers of Bolonga or the back streets of Reggio Emillia.
I gotta say though that recently I've really gotten into Bruce Springsteen, mostly because I love Objects in the Rearview mirror which is as close to Springsteen as Steinmen gets :)
It's about a guy falling in love with a girl he regards its positive and negative aspects while analysing it.
