| The Bravery – An Honest Mistake Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
This song is about Endicott's past experiences.Post 9/11,he and a female friend (as they had been for years) experienced an inevitable case of post-traumatic stress (would this be the correct term??).It has been scientifically proven that when some people experience death at such magnitude or immense personal shock,they react by attempting to share intimacy with others in the extreme-whether that be simply sexual or a relationship.apparently endicott got involved with an old friend and as time past and grief too..he realised it wasn't right,even after the consideration of marriage.and thus,he proclaims, it was an 'honest mistake'. "But sometimes I still think of you And I just wanted to, just wanted you to know My old friend..." so sad and bittersweet,yet painfully honest: "I swear I never meant for this" |

| The Rolling Stones – Wild Horses Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| "lets do some living after we die"- freedom, liberation,almost a Romeo and Juliet type sentiment I suppose. Not being able to live in this world,so hoping to be together in the next. An idealistic, bittersweet lyric! | |
| U2 – Van Diemen's Land Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Basically a song about social injustics; about a man probably morally coerced into a life of crime or theft to survive and either for himself or his family. Thus he is "sent away" to van Diemens Land- a place established for those who broke British criminal rule.In those days laws were strict and when they brought someone down,it was usually the masses in extreme poverty the reasons being a mixture of political and social beliefs that had been continually upheld by the British,stationed in Ireland for 600 years. This song exemplifies the sentiment of multiple Irish generations,particularly those who came before the great famine of the 1840's,mainly in the 18th century- who were plundered by those "kings" who will continue to "rule" over the "poor" who will continue to "toil". The idea of revolution rebellion- this man and his comrades "fought for justice and not for gain"- probably an attempt of reclaiming food and land that was rightfully theirs.Remeber- at this peiod of immense poverty throughout Ireland,the British were exporting more food than importing it. And so,this man years for his loved one to hold him one last time as he faces the "rising tide" towards the dreaded Van Diemen's Land. | |
