| Portugal. The Man – And I Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| there is a lot of songs on censored colors that have such a wide topic lyrically just about life in general and everything in general like colors, and i, created, our way, and out and in and in and out. maybe its just my opinion but i Know the other 3 previous cds were much different ( i love em all) I think its almost obvious what those songs mean just by listening to them wether or not you can explain out loud or not, not all of there songs come right out and tell you what they mean (they use al ot of metaphors) and maybe im just misinterpreting it or see it differently but I think the cd as a whole is colors of life censored by our reality perspective. "censored colors" or thats what it means to me | |
| Portugal. The Man – Sleeping Sleepers Sleep Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
this is what it means to me it might be a stretch, but i will try to analyze it my way. I think the title sleeping sleepers sleep is a perfect fit. i believe it is about society itself keeping us dumb down and ignorant "I was alseep until my eye opened". "Shave our heads Strip our clothes Burn them books." it list methods in society that are used to strip us of our individuality like aecter mentioned, but also to dumb us down so we are easily controlled and metaphorically speaking we are "sleeping", but i like the fact he says "but the mind still grows. We, people, are dangerous things" that no matter how you try to cage us and keep us asleep or brainwashed you can't control us. "i will walk until my legs are broken." "A sheltered mind with Fears of rings Fear of time And missing links We all once were" i believe this is a reference to religious betrayal of some sort a mind sheltered by the church feeding fear and deception of missing links suggesting we all once were something else just like sweatersdotcom said previously. "Bills sit about talking of people they've used Born of new worlds that have fallen past due" i think that statement about banks that have taken advantage of society and robbed us of our wealth to prepare us for new world order when in fact this "new world" has long since "fallen past due." "We are made to be sewn Body's lips eyes Earthed and regrown" we are apart of a whole as society just like body parts are all apart of a whole into us. I think majorly this song is about the majority of the society being manipulated brainwashed as us mindless simpletons. i know its a stretch but that's what i get from it |
