| The Psychedelic Furs – Love My Way Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
The Furs have always been really hot when it comes to innuendo. I've always thought that nothing they do could or should be taken at face value. We have two references presented that ofer up the song as some sort of tryst between two lovers who never knew that they were destined to meet. Potentially to passers in the night who shared a part of their souls in a mere glimps. The song could also potentially be about the persecution of the Jews and Fascism. I'm not saying that I'm correct in this, but certainly there are parrellels that can be drawn. 1." Army on the dance floor"- the goose stepping and posturing and the many parades held by the 3rd Reich 2. "Fashion with a gun"- SS uniforms or something yet even more obscure such as the German masses being brain washed into believing that the corralling of the Jews by force, and intering them in camps was what needed to be done. Potentially something that was more than simply en vouge. 3. "Swallow all you tears my love Put on your new face"- Don't worry about the morallity of persecuting your neighboor. Set those things aside and don the face of the New World Order. 4. "They'd put us on a railroad They'd dearly make us pay"- Cattle cars and concentration camps.1 5."In a room without a door a kiss is not enough" - Perhaps the mere moments before the inevitable gasses were released inside of the showers. Perhaps something worse. 6. "Emptiness behind their eyes There's dust in all their hearts"- I can just envision the Jews looking out from their slatted cattle cars looking at the faces of their German neighboors watching them depart for the death camps. I'm potentially very wrong about the song, but I might be at least partially right. |
