| Jim's Big Ego – The Ballad of Barry Allen Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
I find it interesting that the band chose to use Barry in particular. Out of the four Flashes (Jay, Barry, Wally, and Bart) Barry is the one who was always late for everything. It's sort of ironic that the song describes him being "gone before you see me" -- surely, he's no longer late.
It's also very sad to think that he has all this "time" in his brain. There was an episode of the cartoon Justice League (circa 2005) in which Wally West as the Flash was stuck in a nightmare that depicted everyone frozen around him because they were moving so slowly compared to him. |

Wow, can't believe there aren't any comments.
This song was sung by Paul Carrack (famous with Mike + The Mechanics). It's about the fluctuating nature of the band and how many members they went through.
It can also be interpreted as a man confronting his cheating lover who had been keeping secrets from him. |

I think the song is about two lovers, one of which is extremely nervous that the other might cheat on him. So, he pushes and pushes trying to see if she would actually do it. In a way, it's about paranoia. He can't help himself -- she is his greatest love and he's scared of losing her; but what he doesn't realize is that his paranoia might be the reason she will leave him some day. |

According to Wikipedia: The song thematizes child-abuse through clerics. Corey Taylor sings from the perspective of a man who has been abused by a priest when he was a child and now confronts his torturer. |

Well, I definitely think johnelitist has it absolutely right -- this guy is still in love with his ex: he makes up excuses to keep contacting her, he keeps her picture and tries not to look weak by saying it hides a stain on the wall, etc. I also agree with john's idea that the "big boys don't cry" bit was from their break up. It just makes perfect sense. |
