| Incubus – Warning Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
i think the bit about the frogs is great... because if you drop a frog into boiling water it jumps out, however it you put it in tepid water which you then boil, it cannot register the slow change in temperature and thus boils to death... its indicative of the plight of man, so unimportant in the larger scale of things, so unable to understand that it is those things that are changing slowly that will kill us i think it can be applied to the society and how it is worsening yet we are blind to it, there are those who call out warnings, but generally there is the underlying incubus existential matra, live life for its own sake, dont worry about the world ending, make sure that you've done all you wanted to do |

| Creed – Inside Us All Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
hey all, this is my first post on this amazing website that i have just discovered quite by chance. i think its fitting that i start off with a creed song, as they are almost my favourite band. i think that all of the creed songs are quasi-religious to say the least, and this one is no execption. Scott Stapp seems to create each song as a tribute that he then holds up to God. Despite this, there is nothing stopping each song holding individual meaning for everybody, as TheExile has just shown. The mood set by the guitar and percussion is very sombre, and when Scott starts singing its almost muttered, as if he is in some kind of a dazed stupour having spent an age reeling in his own thoughts. Although i havnt researched this and therefore have nothing to back myself up, i do know that Stapp did divorce his wife, and bearing this in mind i read the lyrics and it struck me that for the first time he is all alone, nobody to remind his he is still here- marriage is having somebody as a witness to make sure that nothing you do, however menial or trivial it may seem, is ever gone unnoticed. 'shadows paint the scenes, where spotlights used to fall' i think that this is referring to photos of them together, which were spotlighted, in other words especially important times in his life, however the divorce has replaced them with shadows. 'although names change' i guess this is his wife changing her name. i have no idea if this really was written about divorce.. somebody could look up some dates and prove me wrong... ultimately scott is battling with his Christianity that tells him not to divorce and to confront the troubles. this song is all about despair, but this does not make it less beautiful, it is an affirmation of the fragility of human existence, the enigma of life, and the importance of confession and humility in the wake of things we cannot understand. |
