Donnie Darko, Donnie Darko, Donnie Darko....
Okay, fine, Donnie Darko was an awesome movie, but you youngins don't seem able to grasp that this was a totally awsome song back when Jake Gyllenhaal was only 7 or 8 years old. Learn to appreciate the song for itself!
...and get the hell off my lawn, you damn kids!!

I get the feeling that the song is about a person who ran away from home or, perhaps, someone who left town for college and never came back, even to visit. The runaway scenario seems to fit better. |

"Our golden handshake has been smashed into this shape," is a reference to a Claddagh ring. I used to see them used as Promise Rings here in the States, but in the early '90s it was trendy for the young professionals to use them as the actual wedding ring. It is unclear from the lyrics (to me, at least) whether this is failing relationship or failing marriage, but it's really just a matter of degree as to just how much it sucks to break up in each case. |

I think there is more to this than DM lambasting the media for giving the public 'bread and circuses' (and the public's eager acceptance of same). Yes, there is plenty of 'Which star has celulite' and 'Which Royal was behaving badly' and all of that crap, but Diana used that attention for charities like landmine removal, starving children, and AIDS awareness. She used the existing machinery that works to create more and more fluff to create somthing of substance. You can't change the world, but she was able to start changing the facts, which ultimately did change the world in some lasting ways. |
