| Oingo Boingo – Winning Side Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This song is about the general Mob mentality humans are so easily caught up in. We all want to belong to "something" and it feels good to belong. When we get wrapped up in The Mob (be it a church a political party, a small group of friends a counter culture) we forget wrong and right and lose our own values and don't question the status qou in fear of being outed from the "winning side" . So yes the crusades would fit that description as would the Nazis 'the republican party' the democratic party, any church goer who thinks any fellow man is not as good as he is for whatever reason. I have always liked the line "And when Jesus comes he'll march on With the winning side" I have always taken irony with that line as if it is saying there will be A LOT of people surprised on Jesus's return. However I could be reading more into this line than Danny meant as I am not sure how much he cares for religion but that is a sign of a great poet everyone can interpret their own philosophies to the poem. |

| Oingo Boingo – Private Life Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This song is mostly about how we alienate ourselves from people to protect ourselves from being hurt. It also is how we then replace the basic need of human interaction with obsessive behaviors of religion porn and materialistic things. We are so ashamed to show our real self's (THE SKELETONS ARE HIDDEN IN THE CLOSET) but yet we all crave and beg others to get us out of our self built cage. but yet when some one "knocks" on our door we tell them to "leave me alone this is my private life" at least that is how I always interpreted this song. |
