| Bad Religion – Sinister Rouge Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
I see this song about the Cathaholic Church, particularly in light of the molestation scandals of the past couple of decdes. I can't find a historic reference to "sinister rouge", but agree with Latchkey Kid that is is probably a refefence to the red robes of the cardinals. "The modern world rejects your hand" is an allusion to the Michelangelo painting where God's hand touches Adam's. Most in the modern world, particulary educated people like Dr. Graffin, find traditional religions superfluous. This is consistent with Greg's Ph.D. dissertation and the book he's writing. |

| Rush – Nobody's Hero Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| This song is about heroism. A "hero" is not a singer, actor or athlete, but people who really make a difference in the world, either in a global way or in a personal way. Example of the first are scientists who cure diseases, people who save lives, etc. The second are people who, often in a subtle manner, enhance the lives of people around them - like the gay person mentioned in the first verse who expanded the lyricist's reality. The murder victim was one of the Karla Homolka/Paul Bernardo's victims, whose family knew one of the band members. | |
