| Dadaism. The most relevant art/anti-art movement ever, especially in these times. These lyrics were written nearly 100 years ago by Dadaist poet/performance artist Hugo Ball. And mean just as much/little as they did back then! | |
| The Rolling Stones – Rocks Off Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
To me this song is at once celebratory and miserable & jaded. The singer of the song has led a life of such excess that things that were once great fun now just don't do anything for him. In fact he's so jaded that even things that used to cause him pain don't make him feel anything anymore. His only escape, his only way of getting any kind of 'satisfaction' is to escape into his dreams, into sleep. God, what a fucking horrible thing to have happen to you. And yet, somehow the song, the music, seems so celebratory, maybe ironically so. I dunno, it's a really great song though, pretty mature thinking. |
