Remorse is an emotional expression of personal regret felt by a person after he or she has committed an act which they deem to be shameful, hurtful, or violent. Remorse is closely allied to guilt and self-directed resentment. When a person regrets an earlier action or failure to act, it may be because of remorse or in response to various other consequences, including being punished for the act or omission. In a legal context, the perceived remorse of an offender is assessed by Western justice systems during trials, sentencing, parole hearings, and in restorative justice. However, it has been pointed out that epistemological problems arise in assessing an offender's level of remorse.
A person who is incapable of feeling remorse is often labelled with antisocial personality disorder - as characterized in the DSM IV-TR. In general, a person needs to be unable to feel fear, as well as remorse in order to develop psychopathic traits. Legal and business professions such as insurance have done research on the expression of remorse via apologies, primarily because of the potential litigation and financial implications.
Sanna Viktoria Nielsen (born 27 November 1984) is a Swedish singer. She comes from Bromölla in Skåne, Southern Sweden.
At the age of eleven she reached the number one spot on the Svensktoppen Charts with the song "Till en fågel". At that time, she sung with the dansband Mats Elmes. She participated in Melodifestivalen 2001 singing "Igår, idag", which finished 3rd. Nielsen returned to Melodifestivalen again in 2003 with "Hela världen för mig" which finished 5th, and again in 2005 with "Du och jag mot världen", a duet with Fredrik Kempe, which finished 8th.
On 3 March 2007, she participated in Melodifestivalen again with "Vågar du, vågar jag". During the Second Chance round, the song qualified for the final in Stockholm Globen Arena on 10 March 2007, where the song ended up in 7th place after the final of Melodifestivalen 2007.
Nielsen participated in Melodifestivalen 2008, singing "Empty Room", written and composed by Bobby Ljunggren and Aleena Gibson. She reached the final from the Västerås semi-final on 16 February 2008. Although she won the public televote in the final at the Stockholm Globe Arena on 15 March, beating second-placed Charlotte Perrelli by more than 50,000 votes, she was denied the chance to represent Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest after she lost out to Perrelli in the overall points-based scoring system once a jury vote had been factored into the results, thus finishing only second in the final official standings.
Pulling the trigger
A shot would fire then he'd wake
To red lips above him smeared
With scorn and stale restraint
She covered him with pity
Like a snake about to strike
And then pronounced him hopeless
When he wouldn't do as she would like
He's so sorry he can't feel remorse
He tries to keep the helpless ship on course
The blameless sky pales as a storm comes
Taking it by force
He's so sorry
Flashes of justice
After all she'd done for him
For the first time she was quiet
As he touched her moon pale skin
They found him hours later
He was talking to the gun
Saying father please forgive her
[Verse 1 - Dr. Dre and Snoop]
Tonight's the night I get in some shit (yeahhh)
Deep Cover on the incognito tip
Killing motherfuckers if I have to, peeling caps too
Cause you niggas know I'm coming at you
I guess that's part of the game; but I feel for the nigga
Who think he just gonna come and change thangs
With the swiftness, so get it right with the quickness
And let me handle my business, yo
I'm on a mission and my mission won't stop
Until I get the nigga maxing at the top
(I hope you get his ass 'fore he drop)
Kingpin kicking back while his workers slang his rocks
Coming up like a fat rat
Big money, big cars, big bodyguards on his back
So it's difficult to get him
(But I got the hook up with somebody
Who knows how to get in contact with him)
Hit him like this and like that
Let em know that I'm looking for a big fat dope sack
With ends to spend, so let's rush it
If you want to handle it tonight, we'll discuss it
On a nigga's time, and a nigga's place
Take my strap just in case one of his boys recognize my face
Cause he's a sheisty motherfucker
But I gives a fuck; cause I'm going Deep Cover
[Hook - Dr. Dre and Snoop]
Yeah, and you don't stop
(Cause it's 1-8-7 on a undercover cop)
Yeah, and you don't stop
(Cause it's 1-8-7 on a undercover cop)
[Verse 2- Snoop Doggy Dogg and Dre]
Creep with me, as I crawl through the hood
Maniac, lunatic, call me Snoop Eastwood
Kicking dust as I bust, fuck peace
And, the motherfuckin punk police
You already know I gives a fuck about a cop
So why in the fuck would you think that it would stop?
Plot, yeah, that's what we's about to do
Take yo' ass on a mission with the boys in blue
Dre (what up Snoop?) Yo, I got the feeling
Tonight's the night like Betty Wright, and I'm chilling
Killing, feeling, no remorse, yeah
So lets go straight to the motherfucking source
And see what we can find
Crooked-ass cops that be getting niggas a gang of time
And now they wanna make a deal with me
Scoop me up and put me on they team and chill with me
... and make my pockets bigger
They want to meet with me tonight at seven o'clock (so what's up nigga?)
What you wanna do? (What you wanna do?)
I got the gauge, a uzi, and my motherfuckin twenty-two
So if you wanna blast, nigga we can buck 'em
If we stick 'em then we struck 'em, so fuck 'em!
("I can feel it!")
[Hook]
[Verse 3 - Snoop Doggy Dogg and Dre]
Six-fo'-five was the time on the clock
When me and my homey belled in the parking lot
The scene looked strange and it felt like a set up
(Better not be, cause if it is they getting lit up! )
Oh - here they come from the back in they 'llacs
I'm checking for the Gats they strap, so what's up, black?
(Chill, let's hear the deal
If it ain't up to what you feel then grab your steel)
Right, so, what you motherfuckers gonna come at me with?
Hope you ain't wanting none of my grip
Cause you can save that shit (guess what they told me?)
"We give you 20 G's if you snitch on your homey
We'll put you in a home, and make your life plush
Oh yeah, but you got to sell dope for us."
Hmmm, let me think about it
Turned my back and grabbed my gat
And guess what I told him before I shot it:
"If you don't quit, yeah, if you don't stop, yeah
There in those tears where I had to leave you drowning
My pearl, you went to face the most cruel of my gifts
And now I'm here to face the cold of what I've done
Not finding anything to calm the pain that came to wash my faults
Misunderstandings, of what our hearts said
I've lost what of purer I could find in the sky
And now I could never forget the void I daubed in your eyes
Those eyes I would hold in my hands, your tears in which now I'd die to drown
Beating the strings of a guitar to pay for the weight of my blames
the shade of your loss burns my soul to the bone
And now I'm here to heal the wounds your unjust pain has left to me
just not finding anything to calm the rain
Misunderstandings, of what our mouths had never said
We've lost the last glares we could find in this sludge
"The killer drove an ingot into each of his own eyes, then cut off his head"
Captivated
In their hearts and souls
The fear and desire
Just won't let go
Naive as it seems
We all want control
You're paralysed
When panic sets in
Quietly you drown
In your sleep
We once had a passion
It all seemed so right
So young and so eager
No end in sight
But now we are prisoners
In our own hearts
Nothing seems real
It's all torn apart
No-one knows
Where to draw he line
Accusations, a pledge
For resistance of mine
In power we trust
We can't get out
The time we spend fighting
The anger and hate
Hope for tomorrow
Is never too late
We all turn to dust
On heaven's command
Time moves by fast
No second chance
(Music: Sammy - Vivian - Theon - Christian Lyrics: Theon)
Does it even matter what I've said
Too much in the past to forget
Does it even matter what I feel
(pause)
Does it even matter what I've done
Pushed you out of the harms way
Does it even matter
Does it even matter
Same way that you've burned
I feel the fire in my words
The soon forgotten words of deceit
Now you feel like the one who was left alone in the sun
Does it even matter what I've said
To ease your one regret
Does it even matter
How your lives shatter
Same way that you've yearned
I feel the mourning in my words
The soon forgotten words of deceit
Now you feel like the one who was left in the sun to see all the light behind the shadow
Oh, mother of weeping woe
Carry me with your hands so fragile
Through the brisk of the night
In to the trails of enlight
I'm everything
As walking among
Among these deadly,
Venomous seas
Seas that life carry
My porcelain skin
Peeling by words
Poisonous words
I fell in love with dead
Liquid that burns me
Dirge of agony
Flowing through my body
Inhale the gleam of last light
Drowning into the rushing despair
Brook of bitterness
Eager to break free
Life strength now crushed
I thought i could forget you
But i know it's not true
I tried every day
Every way, anyway
I see your smile every where
And i hear you coming up the stairs
I feel your hands behind me
And i don't want to know what it's going to be
Oh no...
Set me free
I had never thought that
I would ever get that
Remorse
I thought i could forget you
I now that it's not true
I try not to think
To think of you, to sink
But i hear your voice everywhere
And i hear you coming up the stairs
I feel your hands pushing me
And i don't want to know what it's going to be
Oh no...
Set me free
I had never thought that
I would ever get that
Have you ever looked into the mirror
In faith of finding yourself
Have you ever made a promise
A promise you couldn't keep?
I regret and I'm sorry
I'm sorry for the pain I caused you
Help me find forgiveness
Are you sometimes frightened of tomorrow
Do you fear the truth?
Do you dare to stand up for your sins,
And feel the wounds deep within
Or are you afraid of the shame?
Rise from the fall try to capture what you've lost
Angels sings to restore your memory
You've got to rise from the fall, try to capture what you have lost
Every time the man is dead
Every time you feel bad
Every time someone is crying
Every time I am dying
Every time someone is screaming
Someone is scratching
Someone is weeping
Someone is tearing
Someone is bleeding
Someone is dying
I am crying
Every time the man is dead
Every time you feel bad
Every time someone is dying
Every time I am crying
I am the Earth
I am the ground
I am the silence
I am the sound
I am a love
I am a hate
He stands in the chill of night
With snow swirling down
Memories lurking in his eyes
Blood is on his hands
She still lives inside of him
She still holds in eyes in thrall
She still softly sings to him
And she still owns his soul
And he will live forever more
The walls of his world crashing down
Alone in the dark
The walls of his world crashing down
Shadows in his might
The walls of his world crashing down
Sanity has gone
Tears of blood rolled down his cheeks
As she cried his name
Trapped, he stood and watched her fall
Screaming in the rain
He still hears her crying there
Sees her pictures on the wall
He still sees her lying there
And he still hears her call
And he will live forever more
The walls of his world crashing down
Alone in the dark
The walls of his world crashing down
Shadows in his mind
The walls of his world crashing down
Sanity has gone
Walls of white and silken sheets
Line his padded cell
Far beyond the metal door
Eternity his hall
Well, they did not understand
When he cried out her name
No, they did not understand
Have you ever looked into the mirror
in faith of finding yourself
Have you ever made a promise
a promise you couldn't keep?
I regret and I'm sorry
I'm sorry for the pain i caused you
Help me find forgiveness
Are you sometimes frightened of tomorrow
do you fear the truth?
Do you dare to stand up for your sins,
and feel the wounds deep within
Or are you afraid of the shame?
Rise from the fall try to capture what you've lost
angels sings to restore your memory
You've got to rise from the fall, try to capture what you have lost
