| Tool – Rosetta Stoned Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Does an acid trip mean the aliens were not real? I believe not. If you keep up on physics, you know that quantum physicists have to use 10 or 26 dimensions in order to make many calculations work. How many dimensions can your eyes detect? This is where the nifty stereoscopic lenses come in. With just two "2D" pictures (one taken from the each eye's p.o.v.), a magnifying glass for each eye, and you get a "3D" image. Does everything have to be seen | |
| Coldplay – Yellow Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
For me, a song written from God's P.O.V. to us. Reason #1: The stars do not shine for any one person. Therefore this song is being sung to ALL of whom the stars were made for... Reason #2: "I wrote a song for you... And it was called yellow." He (God) is telling us IN the song that He wrote a song for us, and by-the-way it was called Yellow. Similar to prophesies in the Bible... just flipped. Chris is only human, you know. But, credit him for the effect. Reason #3: "You're skin and bones. Turn into something beautiful." We are all skin and bones, right. He is saying to us, as individuals, here, "Wake up, there's more to you than the skin and bones and their wants and needs" He wants to stir our spirit(s), open our eyes to a vastly better existence. Reason #4: "I'll bleed myself for you. Try!" Who bled themself for us? Jesus said, "...I am in the Father and he in me." No, He didn't bleed himself as in commital of suicide, but He planned for and ALLOWED it to happen ... for us. I have a couple other reasons, but no more time. |

Actually, Saga_Lahn is on the right track. But, it's a little deeper and multi-dimensional. It has the double meaning of sex and coming to terms with death. And at the same time, it shows two perspectives (one in each verse). I'll explain the death issue first. There are two ways to view death. One is that you believe in a supreme being and part of you longs for death because you've come to terms with your mortality through belief in a life after death. The other is a fear of death because it is the ultimate end of your existence. In the first verse, the 9-year-old boys are jealous because Jon is still alive. But, Jon (because of his faith in a better life after this one) longs to be where they are. Hence the term "sacred hole" to end the first verse. In contrast, the second verse expresses the fear of death when a person believes it to be THE end of being. This would be the point-of-view someone who has, for some reason, UNDERSTANDING of their mortality yet will not accept that there is a good creator to go to after death. Therefore, this person feels "soothed, disturbed and intoxicated with fear" of death. Therefore, this verse ends in the description of a "dirty hole". Then, there's the other dimension... sex. Jon feels that the 9-year-old boys, who've never had the chance at sex, are jealous of his having the chance to have sex. But, Jon sees both sides (life before and after virginity) and shows his desire to be where they are, the sacredness of virginity. It's kind of a "grass is always greener" scenario. Note to virgins: Who has experienced both and which side of the fence he would rather be on? Then, in the second verse, he goes into the reality of losing virginity and how it's "soothing, disturbing" and evokes a feeling of "intoxicating fear" of the unknown. The "dirty hole" depicts what we fall into once we have lost our virginity. We become slaves to our urges for it, like a primal addiction. Not to mention it's not as great as we expect it to be... for most of us, anyway. Well, that's how I see it. Although, being a Christian myself and realizing that Jon (at the least) has previously sung about the faith, I do like mad_meerkat's interpretation as well. |
