| A Perfect Circle – Passive Lyrics | 17 years ago |

This song is actually about his mother, as is Judith from "Mer De Noms". It's about the change in his relationship after she had a cerebral aneurysm that left her paralyzed. Keenan's relationship with his mother became strained after she made him move with his father in Michigan. It's not a political song, it's not about an ex girlfriend, it is simply a son crying out for his mother whom he loves dearly, yet hates at the same time for sending him off. |

| Stromkern – Night Riders Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
While no one can truly say what this song means save for Stromkern, I will tell you what I take from it personally. This song is not about a specific time period or peoples, but about the constant struggle between good and evil. These two words are both clearly defined, and yet, their definitions change from person to person. They are subjective, always meaning opposites, but changing based on the user. I feel that this song is simply about the struggle that everyone goes through at some point between their good and evil, they decide what they find righteous and what they find condemnable. Some simply have a goal and will do anything to achieve it, or "Locked on target and we're flying blind". Some have a set of agendas and a set of morals to boot, "Raise the darkness and expose their lies". then there are those who don't have a clue what they believe, and so they follow the first thing they feel they can remotely agree with, "Challenge order well I'll follow your lead". then there are the people, who, no matter what path they follow, they find themselves to be wrong, or they find themselves "Watching paradise go down in flames". there are some who are strong enough to stay faithful to their "good" and condemn their "evil", but there are those who are confused about their good and evil, and can't decide which is which, or the people who simply don't care. Simply put, I believe this song to be about the struggle all of humanity goes through, and we all come with different answers, ideals, morals, and goals, but we all fight to find our own good. |
