| Cat Stevens – Miles From Nowhere Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| i think its about just kind of taking life as it comes, not rushing it, and just realizing what you have. its very accepting of both life and death and grateful for the experience of life. one of those lines that just sticks in your head "lord my body has been a good frieheend, but i wont need it when i reach the end." really shows a freedom of spirit and love of everything around that he is able to take in, even though in the end it all wont matter. | |
| Red Hot Chili Peppers – Save the Population Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
listened to this song over and over, and if its about what i think its about, i have seen everything anthony's describing in friends w/serious drug problems like rhcps have seen... its about getting drunk/getting high, living the party life because the night is young & you can. the second verse is about how when people do this they always know what can result: arrest, car accidents, killing themselves, killing someone else but they "pick their broken down devotion." essentially saying the risk is worth it, & you consciously choose to get caught if you get wasted illegally or drive drunk & get caught. "eyes wide with revalation shine at the police station," is about when it does happen, you've fucked yourself over, and now your realizing maybe it wasn't worth it (hence revalation) and the shining could be referring to teariness or simply glazed over stoned/drunk eyes. and then, when the verdict comes around, despite the fact that you now realize what you've done, you're going to go down (get charged for your crime) you stay all night in jail to "save the population" its about drinking or smoking & getting in an accident or just caught, in which case your substance is the pistol. its about trying to decide where the to draw the line because it gets too dangerous, but after all is done, most people who didn't care to begin with, dont care after. if drugs & alcohol meant more before, they probably still do, and you'll do it again & the cycle continues, as it does at the end of the song love this song, however you take it, anyone can relate |
