thanks AlairaKasimer and deedee, it does make more sense that way. I'm still puzzled by the lines "done it warning / done it now" etc. If this really is what she says, what does it mean, and what does that have to do with the tone/theme of introspection/knowing yourself/etc? deedee's words are definitely worth repeating: "Some song's don't have to be explained" but I still can't help but wonder... |

Re: xdvr's post: I think this song is definitely political. Part of the greatness of phead is that the song is certainly not _just_ political, but the political allusions to me are pretty clear: "soiled coin" can be related to the the "sordid" money that fuels much of the political arena, from lobbying to campaign contribution. Also, being a U.S. citizen, the "talons" remind me of the popular American icon of the bald eagle. Compare Toby Keith's lines of a song that alludes to George "coWboy" Bush and the U.S. response to 9/11: Hey Uncle Sam put your name at the top of his list And the Statue of Liberty Started shakin’ her fist And the eagle will fly Man, it’s gonna be hell When you hear Mother Freedom Start ringin’ her bell And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you Brought to you Courtesy of the Red White and Blue ... to say nothing of the song's grim prescience regarding the current situation in Iraq in the line "Did you feed us tales of deceit"... |
