| Echo and the Bunnymen – The Puppet Lyrics | 17 years ago |

What I love about this song is that the chorus is so catchy and bouncy that you find yourself singing along happily: "I was the puppet!" Then after a couple of seconds you kind of realize what a dark song this is. I think the contrast of the tone and the mood of the words gives the whole songs a sarcastic feel. As for the meaning, it's obviously about feeling controlled. The bit about "the salt of the earth" makes me think he's referring to being controlled be God because I'm pretty sure that's an allusion to something in the bible. (haha I should pay more attention in sunday school) Anywho, I think this song is about not wanting God controlling your life and wanting free will. The chorus seems to be him yelling at God for letting him think that he had free will. Well, that's what I got out of it anyways, but I always had a tendency to be a bit off in English class... |
