It took me a while to get used to this song, but I think it's pretty good.
It kind of reminds me of the movie Mad Max 2 for some reason.. haha. |

I think I get it now.
Maybe it's about the Seventh Son dying, and that he's bitter because all the idiots blindly believed in Christianity instead of believing in what he told them. |

Seems to me that this person that the lyrics talk about thinks that God will help him and free him from misery, but obviously, that won't happen. |

I think it's about doing your own thing, and not giving a crap about worthless religious rules, or what anyone else says, for that matter. Do what's best for yourself, don't let others hold you back. |

I actually think this is one of the better Blaze-songs. Very underrated, in my opinion.
Are there any live recordings with Bruce singing this one? |

Yeah, great song, but what is it really about...? Is it about the death of the Seventh Son or what? And why does he refer to Christianity (or religion) in a bitter way?
Maybe I would have known if I'd read the book... |

| Johnny Cash – San Quentin Lyrics
| 20 years ago

The lyrics on this song varies a little bit on different recordings, it seems.
These are the changes that I can remember:
"Cloistered" - "Hosted"
"Mister Congressman, you can't understand" - "Mister Congressman, why can't you understand"
The last line is sometimes "San Quentin, you've been living hell to me", I think.
This song reminds me of my school. I hate the damn place, and I'm sick of doing useless crap for no reason at all.
I should play this on the last-day-of-school-show-thing and change San Quentin to my school's name. That'd be sweet. |

| The Unicorns – Inoculate the Innocuous Lyrics
| 20 years ago

Although I suppose this is really about what meaow13 is talking about, I gotta say it really reminds me of fever and sickness. And hospitals. I don't know why...
The first version of the song (from the album Unicorns Are People Too) reminds me even more of this. It's also a somewhat more depressing than the most recent version. (none of them are really depressing, though..) When you hear the children playing and laughing, I imagine the guy in the song has been fed numerous different medications, so he's probably a bit drugged. He knows he's gonna die, and he's looking out the window or whatever, where the children play, and he thinks about how much he'll miss the world when he dies.
That's probably nowhere close to what the song is really about, but at least that's what I think about when I hear it. There's not really a wrong vs. right when it comes to what a song means to ME anyway, is there... |

This is also quite obvious, but in case anyone misses it; the differing between first person and third person perspective in the last verse implies that he (the killer) is a schizophrenic.
By the way, does anyone get that sweet guitar-intro? It's harmonics, I suppose, but what the hell? |
