| Iron Maiden – Sea Of Madness Lyrics | 16 years ago |

I think this song can possibly be about WWII. I have a rather good explaination for this. The first verse is about London burning. The Nazis tried to raze London to the ground. People were obviously crying. The part about his eyes seeing and not believing and his heart being heavy, means that he realizes that there is little he can do about the situation. This is from the perspective of someone who is going to go fight the war. The chorus is obviously about storming the beaches of Normandie. There were paratroopers dropped inside the German lines, as well as the troop transporters which dropped soldiers off near the beaches. This is the sea of madness. The beaches were quite chaotic and maddening. The second verse is about a soldier who is on the beaches. However, there is still a hope, a dream if you will that they will succeed. Someone is calling out the name of a fallen companion. The final bit is about how depressing the beaches were. So many bodies, so much madness and sadness. The sea in this is of course the sea of madness. Which is what war is really. It is a sea of horrific events. At least this is my interpretation/meaning of the song. Somewhere in Time is probably my favourite Iron Maiden album. Which is ironic, because Bruce Dickenson really hates it. |
