Dream Theater – Finally Free Lyrics 18 years ago
^ you can tell from the very last noise nicholas makes in the song, before the static comes in. It sounds like he is...being killed.

Question: Which "suicide" note is the real one? Because there are two versions (one from the newspaper in Beyond This Life and one from the Miracle's own words, here) that say basically the same thing but the wording is different. Just wondering.

Dream Theater – Beyond This Life Lyrics 19 years ago
well the song is pretty self-explainatory....no need to say anything else about it.
I LOVED it in Live at Budokan. First video I ever saw od Dream live, and it was just overwhelming when they resume the song after the whole duel in the middle....my God I could go on for ages about this song, maybe I'll just stop and say i love it =)

Dream Theater – Blind Faith Lyrics 19 years ago
From what I gather this song is about the christian faith (no shit) and how it has grown less and less compatible with human nature, if that makes any sense. It expresses, in a way, that people don't need God the way they used to, through a speaker that believes in God but does not believe all that God asks us to. The speaker says that human kind should be cut some slack because we are not perfect, that we can live our life and find peace with or without God, and He needs us. As for the Mona Lisa line, I agree it means some sort of perfection the speaker has found, but I also think it means he found his own path and he can be happy through it, no need for a God, or a Messiah, there.

AFI – Miss Murder Lyrics 19 years ago
I'm pretty sure this theory has ben said already. I believe this is about God and Jesus and the way They are supposed to help us worthless mortals, but They don't.

Hey Miss Murder can I
Hey Miss Murder can I
Make beauty stay if I
Take my life?

(Ok the chorus was a tad confusing, but in the end I think that by Miss Murder he meant God, who lets disaster happen, when He's supposed to save us. Can I make beauty stay if I take my life - I think the beauty of it all, the perfection, the flawless concept of chistianity maybe? like a martyr dying for their beliefs, and the question asked is meant in a sarcastic way: can I do that too?)

With just a look they shook,
And heavens bowed before him.
Simply a look can break your heart.

(Well this would be clearly about Jesus if you're thinking about the song like this)

The stars that pierce the sky
He left them all behind
We're left to wonder why
He left us all behind

(He left us behind, He didn't save us, He went to heaven and now there's a lot of religious confusion, poeple are ceasing to believe, because poeple wonder why He left ud behind instead of doing as He was supposed to)

Dreams of his crash won't pass
Oh, how they all adored him
Beauty will last when spiraled down

The stars that mistified
He left them all behind
And how his children cry
He left us all behind

(I think this is pretty obvious)

What's the hook, the twist, within this verbose mystery?
(about the twistedness within it all, after all religion and God are a mystery to us)
I would gladly bet my life upon it
That the ghost you love, your ray of light will fizzle out
Without hope
(those who believe will be disappointed when they realize God did leave us behind, He gave us a chance by sending Jesus and we didn't take it, and we're going to realize it and be without hope)
We're the empty set, just flowing through, wrapped in skin
Ever searching for what we were promised
Reaching for that golden ring we'd never let go
But who would ever let us put their filthy hands upon it?
(I think this means God sees us as worthless human beings - empty set flowing through wrapped in skin - we're always searching for salvation - this would be from a religious point of view - we hold on to the illusion of a God who will save us - the golden ring is a metaphore - but we're not worthy of redemption, we don't deserve to put our filthy hands upon it)

Ok I still need to work on it some more...but I dont feel like thinking right now... :D

looking back it does sound kind of harsh so I apologize.

U2 – Mothers Of The Disappeared Lyrics 20 years ago
I never said the interpretation was wrong, I found it a very unusual way to look at this song. I think if you read the rest of my last post you can deduce I was extremely pissed off at that time. and anyway, what I meant was, that's a different way to look at it, I hadn't thought of that at all.

to rossclark:
it's true, pinochet's regime was NOT communist. But that doesn't make his regime any better. You make it sound like it was the dissapeared's own fault that they were kidnapped, tortured and murdered by the government. Let me tell you what: Salvador Allende was the one that made sure every single child in the country would be provided milk. He may as well have ended poverty in Chile if the whole thing hadn't happened. The capitalist world may have decided pinochet was the best thing that could happen to the country, but why don't you tell the mothers of the disappeared that? I know so many people that lost relatives to the military government - why don't you tell them how right it was that pinochet took over and made our country suffer? huh?
My uncle was arrested, my parents went through a lot thanks to the curfew - maybe it would have been a lot better if Allende's government had prevailed.

and to vschtyle: what the hell?
