| David Sylvian – Forbidden Colours Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| The song was originally written by Ryuichi Sakamoto for the 'Merry Xmas Mr Lawerence' soundtrack. It is during World War 2. To me this song is about the patriotism for one's country. In particular about the responsibilities and emotions that are asked from a soldier when he goes off and fights. When a soldier kills in the name of love and family, he gives his blood for his country and sheds blood in its name. So much senseless killing and violence, and for what? It's about the simple act of trying to love after witnessing and committing so many atrocities. | |
