Pedro the Lion – A Simple Plan Lyrics 20 years ago
ok this song is NOT about socialism or whatever the crap. I mean... i think the system he's talking about is obviously socialistic... however that is NOT what the song is ABOUT.
it's about a guy who's life was built around fixing problems:
"i fought for a decade, corruption & greed, it gave me a purpose, a reason to breathe"
solving problems is all he knows. he thinks it's all he's good for. he needs to be relied upon... he needs to be needed. and he think since the problems are fixed, and his family doesn't "need" him to rely upon anymore, that his life is meaningless and it doesn’t matter if he lives. he thinks if he isn’t being useful that life isn’t worth anything.
“it's such a simple plan, to take it like a man
but i'm not sure i can, i have a simpler plan”
...he can’t deal with not being needed... so he's gonna take his life.

mewithoutYou – Four Word Letter (Pt. Two) Lyrics 20 years ago
"But I'm so afraid," or "I'm set in my ways"
But He'll make the rabbits and rocks sing His praise
"But I'm so tired, I wont last long."
No He uses weak things to overcome the strong!...

See 1 Corinthians 1:27-28:
"But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things-and the things that are not-to nullify the things that are."

mewithoutYou – The Soviet Lyrics 20 years ago
"The dead are dancing with the dead,
The dust is whirling with the dust."

...it's from a Oscar Wilde poem called "The Harlot's House".
He's writing as someone looking into this house of a harlot and seeing the ghosts of men and prostitutes dancing together. These people... their lives are meaningless as of this point in time... they are basically dead already. Isn't that sin at it's truest...

During the verses there are words being said in the background. Does anyone know what is being said? I can't seem to find anywhere that can tell me.
