| The White Stripes – Black Math Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
This song could be taken as an attack on the value that America places on formal education. First, the lyrics talk about someone drowning in a sea of books, words, and concepts that he doesn't really understand. He is 'proud' that he can write down things that he doesn't understand. The lyrics complain about black fingers from too much writing with ink, and speculates "Is it the fingers, or the brains/that you're teaching the lesson? " meaning that the teaching he has recieved has little to do with understanding and more to do with wiriting down a lot of meaningless nonsense. Finally, it states that: "Well maybe I'll put my love on ice" indicating that he desires to be free of the educational system and just learn life on his own. This can apply to learning guitar, but I think it applies to a much more general imprssion of education. And teach myself, maybe that'll be nice |
