| The Beatles – Yesterday Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Lennon: "I never went to high school reunions. My thing is, Out of sight, out of mind. That's my attitude toward life. So I don't have any romanticism about any part of my past. I think of it only inasmuch as it gave me pleasure or helped me grow psychologically. That is the only thing that interests me about yesterday. I don't believe in yesterday, by the way. You know I don't believe in yesterday. I am only interested in what I am doing now." :D |

| Muse – Megalomania Lyrics | 20 years ago |

I also thought it was about religion and God. I always thought that most of the time he is talking to "God" in the lyrics. "take off your disguise i know that underneath it's me" is reminiscent of the classic quote from an old movie, The Ruling class: Peter O'toole's character claims he is God; someone asks him "How do you know you're God?", O'toole responds "Simple, when I pray to Him I find I am talking to myself." The megalomania -- fantasies of omnipotence -- is in equating yourself to God. If there is indeed a God, it must be yourself. "paradise comes at a price that i am not prepared to pay" The price being death or complete non-existence? As for the girl who can't have babies thing, farked if I know. |
