| Jethro Tull – A Passion Play Lyrics
| 16 years ago

I'm really at a loss for words.
Does anyone have any idea what the meaning of this ong is? I know it's about a man who dies and his journey in the afterlife, but that gives me next to no context for all of the bizarre allusions, metaphors and/or nonsense throughout this gem of an album. |

| Jethro Tull – Thick as a Brick (Parts 1 & 2) Lyrics
| 16 years ago

The title of the song pretty much says it all, but it's not until hearing or reading all the lyrics that one finds this out. The main point of the album is (of course) "wise men don't know what it's like to be thick as a brick". It essentially states that the fools built society and compose its majority, and should be granted control for once, instead of the wise men. However, the song also greets us with the paradox that in order for the fools to run the show, they need to stop being fools. |

| Coheed and Cambria – 21:13 Lyrics

This is a tribute to Rush only by way of the title. It is actually called 21:13 because (on the CD) after The Light and the Glass ends, there are 21 minutes and 12 seconds of silence before this song begins, collectively called A Whole Lot of Nothing. This song is, I believe related to My Brother's Blood Machine, and the characters Butchie and Long-Arm Bleam, who have a strong love for their mother. This song details their final moments before their planet is destroyed. Another hint that this song relates to My Brother's Blood Machine is its placement on the album. Like 21:13, the final song on MBBM (78, which details the start of the Amory Wars) is preceded by 77 individual silences known as the space between Easter and the end. |

If anyone has ever listened to and fully understood the story of My Brother's Blood Machine, this explanation will make a lot more sense that most of the above. This song mainly tell us what happened to the Bleam Brothers after the events in Margretville and where they are now. Apparently, one of them stayed true to their mother's word and continued to tend the blood machine, while the other left to pursue his own aims. Key hints that brought me to this conclusion are the chorus, and the phrase "your father's dead, he passed in his sleep." |
