| Godspeed You! Black Emperor – BBF3 Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Things are going really badly and the freedom loving good people of the world are alarmed. This man is in tune with his soul and is expressing his feelings, well things were just going so wrong he had no choice. The discussion of guns being used on such a massive level, well that is a scary thought. | |
| Godspeed You! Black Emperor – Antennas to Heaven Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I see a common theme here, these songs are all about doom. What do you do with a dead infant? Its horrible, but its what they make music about, and its a good reminder of whats happening. | |
| Godspeed You! Black Emperor – Rockets Fall on Rocket Falls Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Rockets fall on "rocket falls" the valley where rockets for war were produced! This is vengeance, and justice is blind. | |
| Godspeed You! Black Emperor – Providence Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| More of that beginning of the end of the world music! An eerie evil looms over everything and fear is everywhere. The music sounds of the violence that is to come just moments after, and then the confusion and terror thats left to rule. | |
| Godspeed You! Black Emperor – The Dead Flag Blues Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Its a man talking to anyone about the collapse of everything. A car is burning, there are dead bodies in the streets, the government is corrupt, and so on is the recollection of how it came to this. Obviously it was a sad sight. The flags just suddenly had no meaning and the buildings began to collapse, mothers were powerless to save the children. The flags were there, but they were dead. This was despair, like a story being told about deep pain. The evil of it had an overwhelming beauty, and he can see that now these are truly the last days. He did find love it appears, the kind of love that is not forced but willingly given. Much time is spent reflecting on the pain and beauty of the following days... One morning they fell down a little further, it seems to imply that this was negative despite the attempt to embrace it. The blood in the wallet is money, fiat government bankers evil paper control the world money, he really means it here, they are his last words. It was all so wrong and so sad, and in the end everything was desolate. I can see a common theme with this band, and this song really gets it best, the direction we took was evil and in the end had to destroy everything. Things got bad a while ago and we can only sit back and watch it happen. |

| Portishead – Western Eyes Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I agree, like I almost never agree with other people. Its amazing that you mention Waterbaby, I have such a memory attached to that song. I think this song is not truly understood except by western people that know about life outside of the west. Really, if you live in the west, but have traveled long enough, you will see what the lyrics are about. If I am correct, then the song is about the pain felt by a westerner who understand how wrong life can be in the west, as if the soul of a jaded, well traveled, and painfully aware individual was singing. I feel a little comfort when I hear this song, because I feel a little cold myself, about the mess of our culture in the west. | |
