| The Dresden Dolls – Slide Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
I think this song means one of two things: One: The orangeman is actually age, waiting at the bottom of the slide one last time to take her away from the playground and make her grow up, hence " and her little girl cheeks start to wrinkle but her smile is wide and her legs are spread wider her hair growing long and her hips getting larger", meaning she's growing up, perhaps too soon because " who left the playground a good decade before the bell rang?". Two: The song is about rape/sexual abuse, and the orangeman is a rapist who is tempting her with pennies at the bottom of a slide. The line "who left the playground a good decade before the bell rang" could mean that her innocence has been taken away by being raped. This is one of the most haunting songs I've ever heard though, Amanda Palmer is a freaking genius |

| My Chemical Romance – Hang 'Em High Lyrics | 21 years ago |

It helps to look at the whole concept cinematically, so Hang Em High is, to me, the part of the story where the man and the woman die in the gunfight. When he says Mass convulsions Strike the choir By the grace of God Gun it while i'm holding on But don't stop if i fall And don't look back Don't stop Bury me and fade to black I think is the part when the man gets shot, hence "Mass convulsions, strike the choir". It's like a movie. People frequently begin to convulse when they've been shot, and the choir's singing in the background while he's holding on for dear life. And the guitar disarray in the background can be attributed to the man dying, or the woman crashing the car and both of them dying (or so the man thinks) |
