| Kanye West – Flashing Lights (feat. Dwele) Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
GUYS!!! One thing you MUST know about Rap is that at times it is cleverly CLEVERLY SUBTLE! These guys are not going to spell everything out for you all the time... And also their lyrics are about the everday things that plague themselves and sometimes everyday people in general... This song is about his Ex, and FLASHING LIGHTS is a metaphor for the paparazzi-- hence he got caught cheating on his Ex with another woman-- |

Yeah... guys. I think you are getting a little far-fetched with teh whole "FBI planting V-chips in our brain cells" thing... In case you havent noticed V-chips are here with us TODAY, and they put them in t.v.s... Now why would the government or FBI need to somehow sneak in people one-at-a-time secretly jam chips in our brains and makes us become humanoid robots, when watching 30 minutes of "Family Guy" can do that for us??? The REAL control aint in some Matrix-like fantasy future with v-chips and batteries and bad-ass FBI agents practicing Kung Fu Wing Chun while planting advanced technology in our bodies and all that other jive, the REAL CONTROL IS THE television set! Think about it... EVERY home in America has one, and about 90% of homes constantly watch it, about 60% of homes have a t.v. in EVERY ROOM. This kind of control has already slowly taken threshold in our society stealthly. And Serj is warning us and telling us about it and the implicit dangers that come with it |

| Serj Tankian – Beethoven's C*** Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Also Sejota, as far as the c.d. being politically-minded... politics is actually BUILT on the people... without the people you have no government... without the people you have no control... So therefore "people" and their relationships are just as much apart of politics and perhaps even more than those things you mentioned like "war" and all that other stuff . | |

this song is about ... i know it sounds funny... but golddiggers. Golddiggers exist in society WAAAY more than people realize. And he's chastizing them for it... To be a golddigger does not mean you sexually prostitute yourself for riches, but can be about other things too .... Some people are gluttons for money, some for constant attention, some for constant pleasure, etc. etc...We all have these STUPID lewd conceptions about "true love" and Serj is telling this generation full of hedonistic people that love is NOT all about you and your dreams coming true or your dream lover (like Disney movies have raised us up to believe) but about the building block to the culmination of humanity and other much greater altruistic purposes like the bringing up and rearing of children... And what he means by civilziation being on trial and the clocks eliminating time tie in directly to what I've said about love being the building block of the culmination of humanity.. Without it or without knowing what it really is humanity is doomed -- thus CIVILIZATION IS ON TRIAL, and that time is slowly winding down to its impending doom of being destroyed whether by your death (which is inevitable) or the return of a higher power... Not surprisingly, this same crisis Serj is saying that is forthcoming, has already taken a hold of over America with the divorce rates and illegitimate children and growing crime and poverty... So he is warning us (like he always does, lol!) |

All lyrics and just things in life can be looked at 2 ways- simple and complex... As some of you said, Yes, the meaning is simple if you listen to the lyrics, but the video may make the meaning a bit more complex. Some of you are asking questions like, "Why did she leave him" or "Did she leave him because he danced? And if she did why would he dance to try and bring her back?" Here is your answer: She didn't leave him because he danced she left him because he was obsessed.Listen to the song.He is lamenting the loss of a woman that still moves him years later and all he had to do to keep her was cut back on the dancing.He COULDN"T do it.So how does he show his deep sorrow for losing the woman he loved to his dancing? In the only way he can fully remember and reminisce her in a case of nostalgia...He DANCES!!!!That is obsession defined. The video wasnt merely to point out HIS mistakes or HIS particular obsessions... but the little crazy obsessions in all of us, that cause us to depart and take on other paths in life— like mother and daughter, husband and wife, sister and brother, friend and friend, boyfriend and girlfriend, we all either WILL depart one day or MUST depart one day in out lives, hell it could even be inanimate things such as departing from ideas or ventures, etc… Its all about life and the tough choices and things that come with it. These “departures” a lot of times cause regrets or sorrow as in the case with this man and his woman. He wasn’t WRONG for being obsessed with dancing and She wasn’t WRONG for leaving him.... Just a strain of different interests- thus they departed… which is really what life all is about, but unfortunately in Human Affairs feelings get caught up in it too… this it what makes the man dance to this day But in either path he chose—whether to stop dancing or depart from his woman he STILL would have had REGRET! The man symbolically baptizes himself in this “regret ritual” by first realizing his obsession that caused his regret and then EMBRACING it, instead of ignoring it like he did when he had his woman. Our obsessions are as much a part of us as our minds, body, etc. and the only way we can truly be free (like this man dancing) is to accept them... Although it was misfortunate in the end, not many people are as lucky as this man to have their obsession clearly revealed before them, so in a way from his loss he actually gains another greater piece and whole of himself. The whole point of his ritual… |
