| Powerman 5000 – When Worlds Collide Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| Excellent essay and interpretation, ChristianGoth. At first I suspected that the song was addressing the science fiction novel "When Worlds Collide", because the lyrics matched up with a majority of themes from the story (although I suspect the film was probably their initial influence). But I didn't fathom the religious depth of the lyrics to the extent that you have illustrated. Frankly, it is surprising to me that so many people seem to not connect the song with the book / film. While Christian religious themes are prevalent in both the book and the film, your interpretation of the possible depth of the lyrics is logical, and opens up a whole new spectrum of meaning to the song. | |
