| The Matches – To Build A Mountain Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
first off i just have to say that this has to be one of the best songs by the matches. and i can't wait for the album to come out as for what the song means it seems pretty clear that "the fox" is the fox network. i think that the second verse is about the iraq war. methadone is what rehab centers use to get heroine addicts off it and that our addiction to oil is as bad heroine addiction. "we'll all go green in desert shades of camouflage" seems to say we'll move away from oil to a better source of fuel as the war continues. as for "Go ask the bloodhounds till they find the mirage" seems to refere to why we got into this war and our hunt for WMDs and terrorists. the third verse seems to be commenting about the media and that everything we see isn't as it seems. as for the line "Go ask the frog what the scorpion knows" referes to the saying where the frog and the scorpion are enemies. and that seems to be toungue in cheek about asking one enemy about the other. sorry that sort of seems all over the place, but i love the song |
