Maybe they were thinking that, maybe not. You should deffinantly ty to contact the GSoA with such a suggestion though 'cause if they want to rally an support there's no better song for it. |

That method has It's merits. But is very peronal and reletivistic. It is theway someone cn find what a song means to them. Explication or line-by-lin analysis is the method I use. See my explication of Operation Ground And Poound, or the on I did o Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne to better understand the term. Explication clarifies any hard to catch single line meanings or obscure allusions that 97% of people will miss while allwing people still to cometo heir own conclusionsaboutthe big pictue. |

Yeah... That's mildly possible. I was just mentioning how n the bible the word "wilderness" always reffes to S'eer Wilderness outside Jeruslem |

If DragonForce sucks, why are you posting on this thread? I don't believe that anyone is inherantly worthless or I wouldn't waste my time replying to you. I do, however belive that a person with no passion is merely a marionette. And a far worse thing is a person who waste their passion on hatred. Are you so passonate in your hatred of DragonForce that in a room as filled as this thread with people who put so much passion into their love of the band you would curse them so? Are you so full of hate that you would stand before these people and urinate on a dragonforce poster to symbolize your hate? If you are then you're a fool, but a ar braver fool than you are now. And if you're not willing to do that then it's best if you keep you head down and your comments off tredsrelating to DragonForce. Do you really want to beso negaive anyway? I suggest you just forget DragonForce and go find something you love so that you can be impassioned in it's hgh praise, rather than bringing yourself down by attempting to ring others down. |

Actally The Wilderness couldthrice as easily be a biblical/geographic referance. Or an allusion to the crusades. The area around Jerusalem called The Sa'eer Wilderness is a brutal desert where Jesus was supposed-to-have wandered for fourty days and fourty nights. It is also the place european knights, hoping to clam the holyland in the name of christendom, had to pass throug to reach the revered city. Of course I don't expect evyone to be as ell versed in history as myself, but seriously man, runescape? That's the best you could come up with? |

Ozzy Osbourne – Crazy Train Lyrics | 15 years ago |
Many kudos to masterktwist. Very few metalheads attempt explication though I have no Idea why. It could be that very few have college lever literature, songwriting, and US history courses. Not to make any assertions in that direction. I don't feel in any way above those people who don't and I can't assume for sure that it is the case that most of you don't. :D However since I know for a fact that I do I'll make things a little easier for anyone coming here to actually have this song explicatively dissected and lack the know how to do it for themselves. Crazy, but that's how it goes Millions of people living as foes (The first lines come together to state that it makes perfect sense that Ozzy as well as a great many other people are losing their minds given the conditions of the world at war.) Maybe it's not too late To learn how to love And forget how to hate (These three lines hold a profoundly strong message. If you need a really good understanding of the idea please rent a documentary called The Freedom Road by David Icke but what I can tell is that this statement has to do with how we make our own reality and by love we make our reality good, and by hatred we destroy ourselves. But still we have a chance to hold love in our hearts and minds.) Mental wounds not healing (For Ozzy at least all that's been done to him is not reversing. He is still in fear, anger, depression, and dependence.) Life's a bitter shame (Ozzy is ashamed that he and so many others remain controlled whether they want to or not.) I'm going off the rails on a crazy train (This could be to do with addiction as well, which is in fact a method by which people are controlled. Yet at the same time many drugs do have the side affect of allowing people to see that they're being controlled, but it is beyond their own control to escape it.) I've listened to preachers I've listened to fools ("Say amen! Say God-Bomb!" Preachers and fools both are the sort of sheep who first follow the Sheppard.) I've watched all the dropouts Who make their own rules (Ozzy has seen people who try to live outside the system of control fail epically because the system will not let people live outside it's reach.) One person conditioned to rule and control (Many of the world's leaders are brought up with total indoctrination. Example, an Arkansas boy named Bill finds himselwisked awy from the time his lineage to ancient kings is discovered at some time in middle school and hes given all sorts of schollarships to fancy schools where he is conditioned to think like those who rule. Bill one day is to become the president of the untited states. People think "Wow that nobody Arkansas boy really did it." However this Arkansas boy didn't come orriginally from nobodies and wasn't taught, as most of us are, to be a nobody.) The media sells it and you live the role (The News and all the sell the control and convince people that it is nessessary and most people simple follow and live the life the tube tells them to.) Mental wounds still screaming (Perhaps there are beings of evil energy which can speak to humans and convince them to comply.) Driving me insane I'm going off the rails on a crazy train I know that things are going wrong for me You gotta listen to my words Yeah-h! (Despite Ozzy's own predicaments he does insist that we hear him out because we still have a chance.) Heirs of a cold war That's what we've become (If ypou don't know what shis means you should be slapped. This is a highly political statement. In that time the "Cold War" between The USA and The USSR had gone on since Ozzy was a child. and didn't yet seem to be nearing it's end. Inheriting troubles I'm mentally numb Crazy, I just cannot bear I'm living with something that just isn't fair (Living with all of this Ozzy's generation was so used to it that it no longer seemed like anything but the way the world was and they knew that none of them were at fault and yet none of them could stop it either.) Mental wounds not healing Who and what's to blame (From an ordinary perspective the cabal that controlls it all is far from sight and comprehension.) I'm going off the rails on a crazy train |

Yep You are very right on the spelling. There is a person named Randi Rhodes, but that person is a female comedian. |
DragonForce – Through the Fire and Flames Lyrics | 15 years ago |
They're great live. The get kinda crazy at times and the crowds get crazier and people under 5'3" should avoid standing in them for fear of trampling, but the band is great and you feal involved like whe the singer will hold out the mic and let the crowd sing the Wo-o-oh bits all together. |
DragonForce – Through the Fire and Flames Lyrics | 15 years ago |
Come now grant if you hate them so much why view this thread in the first place? Hmmm mayhap you lack in better things to do with your life, you could be in the sections regarding artists you do like explicating on the meanings you find in their songs. Or is it mayhap that you have little or no skill in explication which nfortuanately makes you like all of the people who mindlessly prais this song except you mindlessly bash it. It's very easy not to even come to the Dragonforce section and that's a habit I recomend you get into. |

And what the divil is meaningless about that? You must not be a gamer. If you were then erhaps you would realize that for gamers games have meaning. Especially D&D. |

BTW Herman Lee is a ninja, that's why he gets a solo. lol |
DragonForce – Strike of the Ninja Lyrics | 15 years ago |
It specifically illustrates the comradery of ninja which is rarely explored but in a few anime like Naruto or highly fitionalized films such as Shinobi. Ninja are usually portrayed as lone assassins with little care for anyone besides themselves. And who can ever know which image is closer to the truth? I only know that the few pupils of the ninja arts who I've met were not at all loners. |
DragonForce – Reasons to Live Lyrics | 15 years ago |
It is about myspace, or internet chating in general using the popularity and descreetness of of the name myspace as a tool to get that point to the audiance without openly saying what it is. And it goes deeper. I know from experiance most recently involving my ex wife. allow me to explicate. Once again I'm here alone, my secret life awaits me, (Obviously the speaker is lives as a very differnt person online.) -----> Still a thousand miles away from a land of broken dreams, (The speaker is far frome he cause of their dismay, perhaps figuratively, Literally in my case.) Night falls and the screen is shining, force deception behind the lines, (It means that te speaker doesn't tell the whole tuth online) -----> Hours wasted aimlessly gone, time and time again. (This line should be obvious, Have ye not been there good sais?) [Pre-chorus:] Try to understand, desperately lost with a dream in my hand. Will you wait alone for me tonight? Hold me, save me. (The ntire pre Chorus could reffer to a long distance relationship, or a frindship that the speaker desporatelly wants to be more than friendship but is afraid of being hurt again.) [Chorus:] A star shines in all of us, we'll search for all our lives, One day we'll find a way, and a reason to survive, Cry for the day to return, life no one can understand, We all face our fears in the world, We all hold our place in the universe, For eternity... (People who are overly used to online frindships/relationships and not very social in real person to person contact and thus become self-made outcasts and have a hard time believeing they can change. Hide the lines deceive myself, erase the past from my space, (It could mean something like deleting pictures and comments of/from an ex trying to move on as if you were never with that person.) -----> Images of loneliness sent far across the land, (The only pictures that the speaker now sends are of the speaker alone, and quite lonely.) -----> Once sure, but my eyes are blinded, Frantic charge for a place to hide Lost generations apart, an ancient life returns. (There is a reat deal of confusion in the speaker as to whether he really wants to forget what he had before or move on to something new so soon and he has to start answering questions about what happened between him and his ex "an ancient life returns.") Kindness in her eyes, taken away by a man in disguise, (I can only conjecture, and I won't say what I think, but I doubt that your guess is as good as mine.) -----> Won't you wait alone again tonight? Save me, take me. I only heard this song for the first time when i bought the extended eddition of Ultra Beatdown yesterday. But it describes something close to my life for the past few months. |
DragonForce – Operation Ground and Pound Lyrics | 15 years ago |
Here are the corect lyrics, with my explication. Smashing through the boundaries Storming through the burning fields (this is a reference to the song storming burning feilds. Which precedes this one on the album an refers to a battle against evil in holy guise concealed.) -----> Stand before the evil one, on towards the morning sun (Morning-star is another name for Lucifer.) Falling under skies of pain Still theyr're searching endlessly Crashing over seven seas Torture in the winter sky, riding over plains of ice Shadows in the fields of the slain Crashing steel and raging fury Smash the west, destroy the army (One source suggets that this says cross another quest, however by isolating and slowing the section I have discovered that it actually seems to say west. perhaps very contrivercial if true.) -----> Crush the legions of the twilight ("Low men cast long shadows." -Stephen King. In otherwords those who come at twilight are the servants of The Crimson King, or in this case lucifer.) -----> Templars of steel overrun. (Templars of steel reffers to the Knights Templar, for as we all know "Swords are made of steel.") Cry far away, as we reach for the day Blasting our way through the punishment and the pain (it is slightly drawled so it's hadt to tell but with close analysis I've found that this line does begin with the word "blasting") -----> Reach for the wall, as the sky begins to fall (As in run for the wall, the meaning it had to POWs while they were still imprisoned no memorial had ben build and they hadn't become bikers.) -----> Rising through the darkened ashes Praying that I'll you all (The speaker, like any prisoner of war, waishes to be reunited with his comrades in arms.) Far away, will our eyes now see the day For today, the everlasting eternal sun washed away, the dreams of a brighter day (This section may or may not speak literally of the sun. One interpritation could be that Lucifer, Rain, Elogin, the tyranus sun-god by any name remains standing taking away hope.) -----> Forever hold the dream inside The chance to fight another fight The breaking hearts that stand for all our li-i-ives Live tonight (The second section of the chorus speaks of the perseverance of good and the will of the hero to continue.) Watch you die I watch you die inside While fear controls your life (Fear is the weapon of evil that is used to controll the masses.) Then reject this animosity That killed so many minds (Hatred takes away the senses, one should reject the hatred of their fellow humans that allows evil to take hold.) -----> We feel the power deep within The fear you hold inside Just to find the reason for the treason Now you will be mine (Here evil speaks briefly through the speaker explaining that your fear gives it power and it will use any excuse to make you betray your fellows and take possession of you.) Screams of pain in death descending (Dying hurts. Just a warning for any of you Dragonforce fans who didn't realize that. I'm sure quite a few of you hadn't eve given it a thought.) -----> Rise again from hell defending (A metphor for redemption of those who have done evil.) Play the harps, we'll lift the fire (or prossibly "Burn their hearts within the fire" Which would give a very different meaning. As is it is an extention of the redemption metaphor.) -----> Warriors of light will be slain (Wariors of light reffers to Illuminati, Cabalists, or posssibly Masons.) Rise through the pain, like the sun will rise again Day after day but the memories never change Stand before the storm, as the last horizon (Horizon = Egpt Horus: Egyptian sun-god. Grk Horos: boundary. IE. Smashing through the boundaries / Stand before the vild one, on towards the morning sun.) -----> Blinded by the vision and the innocence of our souls (The innocent may see no evil. and some forsight has brought some confusion to the matter.) Far away, will our eyes now see the day for today, the everlasting eternal sun washed away, the dreams of a brighter day Forever hold the dream inside The chance to fight another fight The breaking hearts that stand for all our li-i-ives Live tonight Far away, will our eyes now see the day for today, the everlasting eternal sun... Far away, will our eyes now see the day for today, the everlasting eternal sun Washed away, the dreams of a brighter day Forever hold the dream inside The chance to fight another fight The breaking hearts that stand for all our li-i-ives Live tonight |
