| Fugazi – The Kill Lyrics | 16 years ago |

For me this song is clearly about ignorance, which is just another word for indiscretion. So many people just accept the socio-cultural background they are born into without reflecting on it much further. They are born into a specific system and actually believe that they have to keep up all the values of this system. Think about those people who adopt racial prejudices/patriotism or whatever from their parents ("born into race and nation accept family and obligation"). Some even take over their jobs, which reminds me of this practice being actually connected to the medieval ages, when it still was a necessity ("accept tradition and occupation"). As to the "uniform", "waiting for the call", this reminds of the many people who are third or fourth generation soldiers just because they think they have to continue the "tradition" of their fathers. I don't mean to say anything against that, but maybe some more thinking for oneself would result in a different lifestyle. PS: I think the second singer is Guy. |

| Bear vs. Shark – Ma Jolie Lyrics | 19 years ago |

Well I just got acquainted with Bear vs. Shark and I'm listening a lot to their first album at the moment. I know it's a bit lame but for me the opener "Ma Jolie" deals with infidelity :) Someone fell in love with a woman who has a boyfriend or something and they are having an affair. She's like his goddess ("she would step right over the water") but there's also the threat of being discovered by her boyfriend all the time. That's why "telephones have eyes" and "birds as helicopters"... Whatever it means, the song is absolutely amazing. |
