| Jane's Addiction – Of Course Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| i think its about morality. society (big brother) teaches us a moral code and to dislike ourselves when we breach it (slapping ourselves in the face). i think the line 'eat the other who runs free beore him' is about punishing other people who breach the moral code (or maybe propriety is a better word than morality). and 'while fantisising....' is about romanticising our actions -we usually consider morality/propriety to be valuable, but maybe Perry's implying that to be free is really more valuable. this makes sense to me in terms of Perry's drug use -maybe, like the third song on this album, he's being scornful of people who consider drugs immoral and themselves more holy than junkies, when really maybe the junkies freedom is more valuable. the first line of the song i think refers to why we need a moral code -to protect ourselves, so overall i think this song is pointing out how our morality isnt really the high and valuable thing we often treat it as | |
| Jane's Addiction – Stop! Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I'd say its about how in everyday life people fuck over nature and fuck over each other, but noones gonna change this because we're just living our lives. Then he says he's hoping for a future were people wont do this. But then after saying chuck away that smokestack or whatever, he says 'hum along with me, with the tv' and then goes back to 'noones gonna stop' so i dont think that overall this song is not preaching, but is instead just commenting on human nature and not neccesarily saying that its bad | |

First verse: Ridiculing and noting the danger of a type of morality in which someone or some government or whatever can create a world which needs bunkers and then still insist on 'women and children first'. Second: Predicting a bad future (ice age coming) when associated with people or governments who have the above take on morality. And concluding that reasoning with these people is useless (as let me hear both sides is replaced with throw it on the fire), instead you have to just get away from it (take the money and run). chorus: 'here im allowed everything all of the time' might be in reference to a amoral existence, or at least amoral if the above morality is considered moral. Because now he lacks the shitty rules like 'women and children first' which surely arnt in the same realm of morality as 'killing is bad'. last line: fisrt of the children -saying that this is a new begining (rejecting the morality of the fisrt verse) |
