| Arcade Fire – Rococo Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
for anyone who doesn't know, rococo was an 18th century artistic movement. it was light, airy and disgustingly ornate and most of the subject matter of the painting and sculpture was the nobility enjoying themselves in the countryside. it's widely criticized because for all its style and detail, there was no substance underneath. it was empty of true meaning. obviously this connects right into the idea of the "modern kids" who use "great big words that they don't understand." if you look a lot of the popular styles with the young kids (especially hipsters), you see this same thing. they obsessive over perfecting their appearance with, expensive clothes and vintage accessories, spout words like "immolation" and "poseur," but don't really have any idea what their saying. essentially, they're modern rococo. what's incredibly clever is that the example of these "great big words" we're given is the word rococo itself. |

There's chaos everywhere And panic written on the air That everyone is breathing And crushing light of day Pain will never wash away Fear will never leave Wow. This song is just gorgeous. It sounds so much like Muse in some places. |

Oh my god. This song is FANTASTIC. Air Traffic is great at achieving the prefect balance between piano and guitar, and I think it's most evident here. lianna123- I think "in love there are no answers and in life there is no right" is correct. |
