| Black Sabbath – Heaven And Hell Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I think this song is about religion and how it tells us what is good and what is not, but in the end nothing is black/white, heaven/hell, good/evil as religion tries to teach us. "Sing me a song, you're a singer Do me a wrong, you're a bringer of evil" - religions tend to divide peolpe into categories = do a good action and you get the eternal life, do someone a wrong and you're damned. "The closer you get to the meaning The sooner you'll know that you're dreaming" - religious teachings are full of contradictions and are impossible to understand Meaning becomes more clear when it refers to someone in particular "They say life is a carousel... they'll tell you black is really white". "They " stands for the church, or religion in general. Songs like this or children of the sea are why dio is an awesome lyricist. |
