| Bruce Springsteen – Born in the U.S.A. Lyrics
| 20 years ago

The character in the song (not Bruce) is, as many have mentioned, a vet who serves his country and comes home to find a country that's angry at him and a government that doesn't care about him.
I think the chorus represents his best attempt at staying optimistic, staying patriotic, but as represented by the synthesized riff that echoes it throughout the song, it doesn't exactly ring true, it's a little fake. |

I'm not gonna try to tackle the whole song, but I've always wondered why "he" would say "one and one and one is three". I just realized that maybe "he" is questioning religious doctrine, the Christian idea that father, son, and holy ghost are "one god". Just an idea. |

That makes sense RTBRAND, that part's supposed to represent the simplicity that 2D has lost, Murdoc never had, and Noodle still embraces. |

Is there an environmental meaning here?
"Windmill, windmill for the land" = alternative energy, like the big windmills they're building everywhere.
"Is everybody in?" = Asking if people are going to get on board with these efforts, because if everyone did it might go along way towards solving energy problems, but there's still a lot of resistance ()ie Nantucket Sound in Massachusetts)
This definitely doesn't account for the whole song, but might be worth conmsidering. |

I kinda like the 9/11interpretation. He considered it some kind of justice, and is therefore "dancing in the rain of descending ash", and he's considered an anathema because he doesn't buy into the blind patriotism that took the country by storm. The song could be from the point of view of someone in the Middle East or other predominently anti-American part of the world, he's not necessarily expressing his own opiinions. I don't know how all the fashion references relate to this though... |

Damn good song, just a small correction on the lyrics, I think in the beginning it's "everytime I try to get a peace of mind". I could be wrong though. |

| OutKast – Da Art of Storytellin' (Part 2) Lyrics

At first glance this song is about the apocalypse ("Mamma Earth is dyin", "thinkin I see four horsies", etc.), but I think its actually just about being really high and paranoid. Like for example "the sky is electric blue" is not exactly cause for alarm. The "All's well, nothing's well" part makes sense in this context too. |
