| Iron Maiden – Age Of Innocence Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| paulo: Maybe you are right in the sence that this lyric may have originated from that particular case. I live in Mexico and it seems to be a perfect description of our reality, so even if it came from a situation that happened in England, I think the song itself has a more universal meaning, maybe that's why they avoided any direct reference to the Tony Martin case. | |
| Iron Maiden – The Man Who Would Be King Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
At least one phrase of the lyrics is wrong: Leaving really is the only way to know should instead say: Living really is the only way to know And as of the meaning of the song, I interpret it as someone who was forced to kill, maybe in self defence or maybe for some other reason. He then had to flee and is now hated by everyone, especially himself. He is now trying to rebuild his life and knows he has to stop hiding, assume the consequences of what he did, recieve whatever punishment comes and then start his life over again. The title and the final phrase: "The man who would be king" at least for me, doesn't mean he would be the head of a kingdom, but rather, that he would be in total control of his own life and destiny, had he not killed. |

| Iron Maiden – El Dorado Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I think it is about how people get trapped in get-rich-quick scams and end up with nothing. It's about greed and how people let themselves get fooled because of it. From wikipedia: "the name of El Dorado came to be used metaphorically of any place where wealth could be rapidly acquired". |

| Metallica – All Nightmare Long Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| In an Interview James Hetfield said that this song is about the Hounds of Tindalos from the Chtulu Mithos (H.P. Lovecraft). In other words, it's about some creatures that hunt you when you travel through time, even in your own nightmares, and altough they are called "hounds", their shape is not actually known as nobody has seen them and survived. | |
