| Cage the Elephant – Lotus Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
First off... I believe there is a lyric change needed. It should be "they'll said it's all been done" instead of "because it's all been done". But otherwise, good job! "Driven by religion, running backwards down a one-way road I've caused collisions, big decisions trying to save your soul. Manifest destiny is just a fancy word for murder. I got this feeling, its gonna stop..." This verse in particular shows me that this song is about the Iraq war. "Driven by religion"- shows that we were supposedly in it for good intentions. "Running backwards down a one-way road" - When the war started, we hurt rather than helped. We caused innocents to die everywhere. "I've caused collisions, big decisions trying to save your soul" - We've fought trying to save the middle east "Manifest destingy is just a fancy word for murder" - We invaded, hurt, and we thought it was for good, like the people who believed in manifest destiny "I got this feeling it's gonna stop..." - The war eventually lost a lot of its support The chorus for the song is honestly well explained by RaShock though. The rest of the song can be explained in the context of the war pretty easily, though. |

| The Beatles – Let It Be Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| From what i've seen most, i haven't seen anything i agree with... From what i saw, and this came straight from Paul, this song is about a drug trip he had once, where his mother came to him and said let it be... that's about all it is, really. | |

| Rush – Vital Signs Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| First off, I agree with what everyone has said so far, and that this song is amazing. I just really got into it today, to be honest. But what I've noticed about Rush and their albums is that often times they have a common theme. In Moving Pictures, for instance, there seems to be an idea that conformity and being "normal" is just a myth, that everyone is different. And in Counterparts, the theme seems to be that things will always be bad, so just learn to try and appreciate the good parts of it. I'm not sure, but that is what it seems like to me... | |
