| Men at Work – Down Under Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
Get ready to get your mind blown. The song is actually a criticism not a celebration of Australian culture. Similiar to Waltzing Matilda, but at least the military sings that. It's about taking drugs and hedonism and nihilism. And trying to escape that. "Women who glow", as in fake and real tans, radioactive. Suicidal too, as skin cancer is most common in Australia. In other words, Australian women suck. Men who plunder, men who exploit others and have no morals. It's about taking opium in india and being offered child sex. Where the man ironically replies "Are you trying to tempt me? Because I come from the land of plenty?" The land of spiritual poverty. Australian child sex tourism is a big thing. Where the beer does flow and men chunder. A perversion of "Land of milk and honey". Australia is instead the land of beer and vomit. Living in a land Down Under That means living in the Underworld/Hell He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich. When meeting another Australian, the most we can bond over is really bad tasting bread spread. Can you hear that thunder? You better run, you better take cover. This refers to the gods wrath, which will fall on Australians. And where there is nothing more to do but run and take cover. Like sodom and Gomorrah. |

| Adele – Set Fire to the Rain Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
But I think your missing the biggest meaning that what she claims to have done is impossible, 'set fire to the rain', so even though she seemingly has thrown him in the flames 'for the last time', her trying to get rid of him are attempts to set fire to the rain, futile. So for this reason, I think the song is more of a tragedy, and how Adele is 'damaged goods' as far as relationships with a man are concerned, also otherwise known as a 'alpha widow'. |
