| Metric – Glass Ceiling Lyrics | 19 years ago |

I think it may also be a statement about the status of women right now. Maybe in the workplace we've gotten some places but in the world women are still objectified so often and so flippantly. The standard is as low as the ground now. And they are ignored...there's no knight in armor to save "her." "Can't count the peices..." this break is causing inumerable pain. There is also something to be said for this being done in the "fast asleep, daydreaming" state. Not everyone, but some, have let the shards on their knees to be a rude awakening. Only in one's dreams does one break the ceiling... |

| Metric – Combat Baby Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Where are my thinkers!!!????? Anyone who knows anything about metric knows that they can't get enough of their political and societal lapses in movement and subtle issues. This song is about someone or several people, even, maybe the whole society, that used to fight for the betterment of the world. Fight the lethargy in the world, that lack of caring. Those mild 70s kids were all about that. She wishes that we cared about our world enough to stick our heads in it and THINK. That's exactly what you're not doing now. Now no one could even add to a conversation about these things....she's tried to just live with it and fit in with the flatness. She misses her all time lows like I miss mine....those bouts of sadness that ensue when you're plagued with knowledge and compassion for the world's issues and defects. I'm sad to see fans so blind. |
