| Weezer – The World Has Turned And Left Me Here Lyrics

First time I heard this I thought it was 'You remain turned away, turning burger every day'. Like it was about being stuck in a dead-end job. But then I engaged my brain and thought that that couldn't be right. |

| Idlewild – These Wooden Ideas Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
Freud, you're basically saying the same thing in your first paragraph as everyone else... yes, the lyrics are simple and satirise post-modern thinking. It's basically asserting that postmodernist ideas are wooden, with no convition, full of contradiction (which I believe them to be; it's a very astute choice of lyrics).
These ideas sell repetition in the sense of an undemanding familiarity, and sell reduction. Look up reductionism; it's a method of deducing the meaning (or lack of) behind something by breaking it down into smaller simpler constituent parts. It often fails if applied to things like human behaviour, consciousness, self-organisation or any system with 'emergent' properties. Rigid postmodernist thinking does not like systems with emergent properties. |

Thanks for adding the lyrics
This song is properly dirty, but you love it (you slag). I think it's about mistakes made in lust, and 'Malheurs' just means 'misfortunes'.
