| Gary Numan – Absolution Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
This song's about the absolute love he feels for a woman, describing his love, he tells her what he's willing to do to show her that love. Starting soft, "swim across oceans" ending fanatically "kill the children of Eden" or "close the dead eyes of God". This song is full of biblical / Christian references (cfr. devil, heaven, disciple, prophets, children of Eden, God)... but I think Numan isn't that religious. |

| Gary Numan – A Prayer For The Unborn Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
I think this song's about how he lost a loved one and completely lost his belief in God because God wasn't there to save that loved one. It starts "soft", praying to God, asking for help, but God doesn't listen so he tries to find an explanation, rather sarcastically; making miracles? The song goes on like that, till he explodes in rage "If you are my Shepherd"... I can't believe I'm the first one to comment on this song. It's simply magnificent, perhaps not as popular as 'Are Friends Electric?' or 'Cars' but twice as brilliant! |
