A crazy old guy trying to seduce little kiddies into following him to...wherever. The cartoon voices in the background make it scary as hell. |

| Oingo Boingo – Lost Like This Lyrics

"Lost" here can have different connotations...to me, it can either mean lost within his mind (i.e. daydreaming) or lost in love with someone who has hurt him (Personally, I think it's the first one). Either way, both can drastically alter one's persceptions of the world ("This place is not like anything I've seen before") and actually become so pertinent that the person in question will become dependant upon the feeling it brings ("But I wouldn't be happy anywhere else"). |

| Oingo Boingo – Home Again Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
You can't go home again--because once you leave, it's not home anymore. This song shows what happens when people lose their way and realize they can never go back to the way things were--"She" and "He" are trapped in their current lives with no chance of escape. "She" goes to see "a crazy old man" for guidance, advice that ultimately points out how aimless she is. "He" pines philosophically about his predicament (most likely over a large amount of alchohol, right?) The final little burst of song (not quite a verse, not quite a chorus) is a look inside one of their heads, seeing how EVERYTHING they're doing is wrong, and only digging them deeper.
Whew. |
