| Cake – Sheep Go To Heaven Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
The sheep and the goats are obviously biblical allusions. If you're a sheep, you're a conformist, you follow the crowd and play it safe and, according to the song, end up in Heaven. If you're a goat, as the singer is, you're out to have fun. "As soon as you're born, you start dying"- we're all dead anyway, why not have fun with it? The singer wants to have fun, but he can't, because society wants him to be a sheep. |

| Train – I'm About to Come Alive Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Obviously, this song is about postmortem zombification. The departed wishes for his girlfriend to heed his warning when he whines, "I'm about to come alive", alerting her that soon he will rise from his earthen grave and become a shambling undead, cursed with a quenchless urge to feast upon the brains of the living. The first stanza tells of his horrific undead march, his former girlfriend trapped in the basement as he listens hungrily to her fearful, tear-laden voice calling for help from the inaccessible police. In the background, a terror-stricken infant calls out, and the zombie, awakened with new hunger, diverges to consume it. The theme continues as he reflects upon his ultimately dismal purpose (terrorizing, brain-consuming, etc.) as a decaying, reanimated corpse. |
