| Counting Crows – Colorblind Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I think this song is mostly about the different extremes we feel in our lives and the defenses we put up to keep people from seeing the things we try to hide them from. I think it gradually moves into being about becoming ready to let our defenses. | |
| Lupe Fiasco – Daydreamin' Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
The first part about the giant robot, or "walking project building" as he refers to it later, is definitely a metaphor for the hood/projects/ghetto. "Now there�s hoes selling hoes, like right around the toes And the crack heads beg, at about the lower leg There�s crooked police, that�s stationed at the knees And they do drive-bys like up and down the thighs And there's car chase, going on at the waist" This is obviously a depiction of different things that you see happening more often then not in the area the giant robot is a metaphor for. The second part is Lupe mocking mainstream rappers and their videos, but showing how some turn their back on where they came from while others never really leave them mentally. Like the phrase "You can take the boy out of the hood but you can't take the homeboy out of the hood". |
