| Peggy Lee – Is That All There Is? Lyrics | 4 years ago |
| The philosophy of Absurdism wrapped up in a song - really succinct and beautifully put. In the face of a lack of objective meaning in all our lives, what is there to do but kick on and enjoy it while coolly realising that it's all for nothing? | |
| The Smiths – Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Boy grows into adulthood with lofty ideas about beauty, truth and the poetry weaved throughout the world. Then gets suddenly struck with how basic the adult world seems to operate - a straightforward Attractiveness Competition held between every woman on earth, one overseen and perpetuated by men. Morrissey, not specifying exactly what it is about women that varies in size, highlights how trivial the boy sees this 'one concern'. People are shaped differently, who cares? And while he might mourn about it, he starts to discover that HE cares too... And he finds that both exciting and confusing. |
