| Bright Eyes – Four Winds Lyrics | 18 years ago |

Good Afternoon class, This song is basically a piece of apocalyptic literature, such as 1984, WE, Brave New World, Utopia and thousands of others, It is wrought with religious as well as demonic imagery. Also the rented cadillac and company jet is an allusion to technology which plays a major role in most apocalyptic lit.... There are literally dozens more examples in the song. Its not the first time Bright Eyes has addressed such issues! Its important to remember that apocalyptic literature is always a critisization of modern times, so this his him telling us whats wrong with the world and how things will turn out if things don't change |

| Manchester Orchestra – Wolves at Night Lyrics | 18 years ago |

I think everyone is missing something... "I'm like a version losing a child" is a reference to Mary, and how she lost christ, and how lonely she must have felt. I think loneliness is the key part to the entire metaphor and a lot of the album. Another theme throughout the album is constant references to sight, seeing, vision and seeing what you believe. He hasn't seen his baby, she is gone, he is alone and so is she.... Mary must have felt this alone when Jesus was crucified.... Wolves = possibly temptation?? |
