| John Lennon – Working Class Hero Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
As soon as you're born they make you feel small By giving you no time instead of it all Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all {I think this represents the fact that only what "you" believe matters in your life, and listening to other people will just weigh you down, you can think of how parents can be highly controlling and don't let their kids experience certain things, or who make their kids afraid/upset because they disagree with everything he/she says simply because they're young. So from the beginning how people are already being restricted from what they can do or say} They hurt you at home and they hit you at school They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules{Basically the pressure of being in the middle, or being normal...results in anger..depression whatever} Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV And you think you're so clever and classless and free But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see {everyone is so fixed upon what's on a screen, or the end of the rainbow, too blind to realize they're not helping themselves, but making themselves feel worse} The whole workingclass hero thing... i think it's ovbious John wanted people to not lot let capitalism get out of hand (which it has), because it's controlling the way we FEEL and ACT, like a child again and our parents.. I think I got it down? |

lets sail away find our own country we'll build a house and beds out of palm trees lets get away, lets push our lives aside {(i think this means him and this girl can just stop their lives and live in a total different direction if they just choose to and they can prevent as much as they want from happening)} i'll sport a smile take in some color under the stars i'll be your lover [{once his wish comes true he could finally reveal to her how much she means to him)] with no distractions i'm gonna treat you right {she'll finally see what true love is...} it seems like things are only getting better it seems like we can never catch a break [{now there is no turning back, everything is perfect and the way they'd dream of)] just keep a hold of me, don't let go if you float away, if you float away waited so long for a ship to come don't you float away, don't you float away {[Now that his dream has come true, he doesn't want anything to go wrong, because he went through so much for this girl, he couldnt take her leaving when he just had the most excitement hes felt in the longest time, he wants her to stay with him forever, save him from anymore heartache...}] lets go to bed lets stop debating look at the time we're always waiting but we're in love and that should be just fine {now that theres issues in the air he doesnt want to ever deal with them because it shouldnt matter since theyre in love anyway they should be making love and debating about their problems would just waste their time}] it seems like things are only getting better it seems like we can never catch a break just keep a hold of me, don't let go if you float away, if you float away waited so long for a ship to come don't you float away, don't you float away just keep a hold of me, don't let go if you float away, if you float away waited so long for a ship to come don't you float away, don't you float away and if you'd like and if you'd like, some other time i would like to introduce you to the finer things if we survive if we survive and i'm alive i'd like to say how beautiful i think you... {[if she decides to choose him over anything else, and their relationship is a success, he will be able to tell her things like how beautiful she is...}] just keep a hold of me, don't let go if you float away, if you float away waited so long for a ship to come don't you float away, don't you float away |
