| Electric Light Orchestra – 10538 Overture Lyrics | 17 years ago |

This is a very beautiful song with very deep lyrics: Did you see your friend crying from his eyes today Did you see him run through the streets and far away Aah Did you see him run, did you see him fall Did his life flash by at the bedroom door *It's referring to a person whose friend is a non-conformist in a society of conformity, he almost conformed (did you see him run, did you see him fall) but this person made a come back, and wasn't lost to conformity or society.* When "someone has been found on the rocks down in the bay," this non-conformist has "died" or conformed to society... And his life means more than it did before because non-conformists are considered radicals, and there aren't that many to begin with.. Now there are even fewer left. People are talking in disgust as Number 10538 had tried to escape the normalness of life, and trying to escape the safeness of it all. |
