Read Between The Lines Lyrics


Late afternoon, the sun's goin' down
A ca-ca-call on the cell
(Why's he in such a hurry?)
Leavin' the room, he's mumbling too
Now, now lookin' for his shoes
(He's leaving out the room)
No explanation, no actual location
Just watchin' him pacin'
(Wonder who he's stressing)
Little conversation, leavin' no debation
He left the door swingin'
You better open your mind
You gotta read between the lines
You gotta read between the lines, lines
You gotta read between the lines
You gotta read between the lines
9 in the mornin', up, up, up way before breakfast
Homeboy gettin' restless

(The room is full of questions)
Little replyin', whole lot of denyin'
You're steady collidin'
(So why do he keep on tryin'?)
I search for the median, now he's a comedian
That's all the more reason
(He's changin' like the seasons)
Are you still pleasin'? Well soon you'll be leavin'
Which one will be grievin'?
You better open your mind
You gotta read between the lines, lines
You gotta read between the lines, lines
You gotta read between the lines, lines
You gotta read between the lines
Your replies are getting old
It's in his eyes, gotta read between the lines
Lies are getting told
Look in his eyes, gotta read between the lines
Your replies are getting old
It's in his eyes, gotta read between the lines
Lies are getting told
Look in his eyes,gotta read between the lines
Hope you don't think you're pullin' one over me
'Cause I, I know what's going on
I hope you ain't been plannin' on runnin' me
'Cause that, that ain't what I'm on
Hope you don't think you're pullin' one over me
'Cause you'll look up and I'll be gone
Hope you ain't makin' plans on runnin' me
'Cause I read between the lines
Who got ya thinkin' ya ish ain't been stinkin'?
My temperature's peakin'
(Why is he barely speakin'?)
I'm bustin' his bubble,and he know he in trouble
He's talkin' in doubles
(I'm listenin' but hardly believin')
Ch-changin' the story or tryin' to ignore me
Still reachin' out for me
(But still I'm hardly reachin')
Give me a reason to put you back on the line
You've wasted enough time
I had to open my mind
Gotta read between the lines, lines
You gotta read between the lines, lines
You gotta read between the lines, lines
You gotta read between the lines, lines
You gotta read between the lines, lines
You gotta read between the lines, lines
You gotta read between the lines
Your replies are gettin' old
It's in his eyes, gotta read between the lines
Lies are gettin' told
Look in his eyes, gotta read between the lines
Your replies are gettin' old
It's in his eyes, gotta read between the lines
Lies are gettin' told
Look in his eyes, gotta read between the lines
Your replies are gettin' old
It's in his eyes, gotta read between the lines
Lies are gettin' told
Look in his eyes, gotta read between the lines

Slayer is a thrash metal band from US, formed in 1981. The band was founded by guitarists Jeff Hanneman and Kerry King. The band was credited as one of the "Big Four" thrash metal bands, along with Metallica, Anthrax, and Megadeth.

Slayer's musical traits involve fast tremolo picking, guitar solos, double bass drumming, and shouting vocals. The band's lyrics and album art, which cover topics such as death, deviants, suicide, genocide, necrophilia, insanity, Nazism, religion, Satanism, serial killers, and warfare have generated album bans, delays, lawsuits and strong criticism from religious groups and the general public. Slayer is best known for speaking through perspective without being necessarily sympathetic to the cause of their inspiration.

Since their debut record in 1983, the band has released two live albums, one cover album, one box set, three DVDs, one VHS, two EPs, and eleven studio albums, four of which have received gold certification in the United States. The band has received three Grammy nominations, winning one in 2007 for the song "Eyes Of The Insane", and one in 2008 for the song "Final Six". They have headlined music festivals worldwide, including Unholy Alliance and Ozzfest.

Slayer was formed in 1981 in Huntington Park, Los Angeles, California. The Band was formed by guitarists Jeff Hanneman and Kerry King when they met at a tryout for a local band. Tom Araya soon joined on bass and vocals, and drummer Dave Lombardo joined last later in 1982. They played in a style reminiscent of early Exodus, influenced heavily by punk acts Minor Threat, Stooges and Heavy Metal bands Venom and Judas Priest.

"Black Magic", the heaviest, darkest, and most evil song at the time (according to some), was written in February, 1983, and marked Slayer's definite venture into thrash metal. They secured a spot on the compilation appeareance "Metal Massacre III" in 1983, contributing the speed metal song "Aggressive Perfector". They also recorded two demos in 1983, and became a popular live act in the Los Angeles area. (In 1983, Bob Gourley filled in for Dave for one gig. He later appeared in Dark Angel (US).) Their debut LP, Show No Mercy, was recorded in November, 1983.)

A live EP was recorded in the studio in front of 50 of their closest friends in January, 1984, and after that "Show No Mercy" was released. The "Haunting the Chapel" and "Live Undead" EPs followed.

After 1985's "Hell Awaits", Slayer were signed to Rick Rubin's Def Jam record label, better known for acts like Run DMC. This led to three studio albums, including the brutal "Reign in Blood", as well as a 1991 live double CD, "Decade Of Aggression".

Dave Lombardo left the band in 1987 for several weeks, and was replaced for a few live gigs by Tony Scaglione (Whiplash (US)), and then again left in 1992. Finally, in 1994, Paul Bostaph from Forbidden was brought in, and three more albums were recorded.

Then, in 2001, Bostaph left to join Systematic, and Lombardo, who had been in Grip Inc. and Fantomas rejoined the band.

Interesting facts:

It's official that Slayer is the most covered metal band in the world aside from Metallica and Iron Maiden.

Tom Araya (born Tomas Enrique Araya June 6, 1961 in Vina del Mar, Chile. He has provided guest vocals to recordings by other artists, including "Iron Gland" from Alice in Chains' album Dirt, and "Terrorist" from Soulfly's album Primitive. His brother is John Araya (Bloodcum (US), Thine Eyes Bleed)

Kerry King recorded a guitar solo for "No Sleep Til' Brooklyn" by the popular hip-hop/rock group Beastie Boys.

Tom Araya's brother John (Bloodcum (US), Thine Eyes Bleed) worked as an sound engineer for Slayer in their early days.

According the book of Jarek Szubrycht (Lux Occulta) "Bez litosci. Prawdziwa historia zespo?u Slayer", Greg Hall was asked to play with Slayer after Tony Scaglione left the band in January 1987. It never happens because Lombardo returned to the band.

Gene Hoglan, the legendary drummer who has played in bands such as Dark Angel (US), Strapping Young Lad and Death, used to be a Slayer lights man and roadie on the Show No Mercy tour, and was asked to be Dave Lombardo's drum tech on the Haunting North America tour ('84), but knocked it back to pursue his own music career. He even did backup vocals on the album Show No Mercy (the song Evil Has No Boundaries).

Rumor has it the band was originally known as Dragonslayer, after the 1981 movie of the same name. However, when King was asked "How did you come up with the name Dragonslayer?" King responded "We never did; it's a myth to this day."
