| Tori Amos – Dark Side of the Sun Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I believe that plath81 is right, but i also can see it as a double meaning, where as it is pointing out how extremists are willing to die for their religion, and there are people giving up their lives and the love of their woman, it is also i believe a statement against how america sends out its boys to fight on the forefront of an extremist ideal, for example "Is there a way out of this If there is I don’t see it Can Heaven & Hell coexist Not when both battle for dominance" is like a statement of having gotten entangled in the war front in iraq, and with no way out in sight, where both sides preach that they are fighting for a haven, in the case of extremist muslims they are fighting for the rewards of jihaad, and the americans are fighting to bring an idea of peace and security to iraq, IE: to turn it into a haven, i dont know this song really can be viewed in anyway, and seriously it is not just localised to muslims, the burning bush and abraham and ishmael are from the bible... and there is such a thing as a christian extremist as well *cough* george bush *cough* lol |

| definately i think the song could do without that addition: i mean it gives it context but it is delivered in a way that robs the song of its seriousness | |
| Tori Amos – Mr. Bad Man Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
i think its talking about a person who used to be so sweet, but now they are a "bad man" and all those other guys who are hangin around waiting for her to be free are there to show sympathy, but it is not a genuine sympathy... either way its a relaxing song :D |

| Tori Amos – Dragon Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
this is definately my fave from this new album, i think the meaning of it is that it is directed at a love interest and basicly its some one with baggage left over from a previous relationship, and saying you know, that whatever happened in his previous relationship should come between them, and basicly saying its time to pull that wild card, and get rid of that baggage symbolised as a dragon that needs slaying... i think overall its saying that, there is like an overtone that she is the solution to this problem, and in the undertone there is a hint that perhaps she knows she is guilty of telling sweet yet hurtful lies as well... hmm well thats what i get from it |
