"there will be no more winter there will be no more spring and there will be no more dinner bells left for you to ring" following with the apparent theme of modernism presented in some of the other tracks, I see this as possibly being related to global warming perhaps, or the potential for the end of human civilization maybe? No more winter/spring suggests global warming will put an end to this, and also "there will be no more dinner bells" possibly suggests the end of man and thus his artifacts along with him, no more people to ring the bells. No one to clap hands, etc. Plus, "I've heard all your treasons, I've heard all your pleas", could correspond to politicans and their attempt to justify that pollution is necessary (their treason) and their "pleas" to justify polluting as a necessary act for economic reasons. |

| "I need sunshine" again, another line related to nature, possibly cannot experience nature, "the sun" in the modern world. Look at Plato, the sun represented "the good" in the cave alegory because it enabled people to see the truth - that is, figures in the material world as they really were(or really seem to be, this would be debated by many philosophers in the modern age). "Give me your eyes" - perhaps though the eyes of another, a lover perhaps, the world will be clearer, or at least, if not able to escape the modern world, with the lover he can at least cope with it better. | |

"If I could take the fire out from the wire I'd take you where nobody knows you And nobody gives a damn" Perhaps, and as usual, this is merely an interpretation, and I have not really taken much time to contemplate the meaning of this particular line "take the fire out from the wire", but perhaps it is related to technology, or modernity, as several other tracks (i.e. modern world, grounds for divorce, dinner bells(perhaps???). Anyway, "take the fire out from the wire" may indicate some desire to remove, or decrease the emphasis on electronics(fire in the wire meaning the usage of electricity perhaps) and getting back to nature where: "nobody knows you", etc. Well, this is just a possibility, I might be wrong, gooday to all!!! |
