| Robin Thicke – Blurred Lines Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Rape culture? That's a ridiculous notion. Women are very strong and can pick and choose who they want. Women get raped all the time regardless or not this song exists. Robin is contributing to nothing, save his own name and profits from the people he works for. I still believe it's an ugly song, but the music video is all about female empowerment, not degradation -- A little study of the lyrics can prove this; In the chorus that talks about "Domestication", clearly the woman is superior here because "He" almost had her, but she got away. Later on through the song, the woman is in control of her own pleasure. The worse here is if you don't believe in women having a say in their sexual intercourse. Toward the end, the woman takes control of the man. The entire music video is a sarcastic nod to stereotypical sex-based notions. The naked women, obviously a sarcastic nod to men that always want their women naked, child-like and beast-like at the same time. And Robin is making fun of himself through the entire video. I mean come on, who takes seriously the phrase "ROBIN THICKE HAS A BIG DICK" in Mylar balloon letters. All of that, and a bag of chips because sex sells in our society. Blurred Lines, as much as the song sucks is a counterpoint to this supposed "Rape culture" the lot of you believe we live in. It shows what sick men want from women, shoves it in their face, and tells them "No, you cannot have it this way, because I am in control, bitch." -- without being so nasty about it. |

| Soundgarden – Been Away Too Long Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
This song explores the journey of Chris Cornell, between Soundgarden of then and now -- He's been walking around, trying to find his place back "Home", only to discover you can walk a million miles, and still not find it, presumably because home is gone. After so long, people he once knew no longer knew him, or cared enough to save him from danger -- He's been away from who he called friends long ago, for way too long, and there was nothing he could do because it was fate. The next bit could be about drug use, with the frist one being a gimme: "Kilos" (of cocaine going) "Through keyholes" (or up the nose), though, widows through windows and pilots through eyelets confounds me. That is hat it sounds like to me, anyway (hence the revisions made to the lyrics), can't get any better than that. The last bit all talk about various alcohol references; Tankards, large beer mugs, could also refer to steins Flagons, extraordinary large containers normally for alcohol Snifters, wide-footed glasses for spirits and liquors Flutes, referring to the neck of tall bottles Once again an expression of how long he's been away from his friends and fans, in favor for the long-ass drug trip Cornell's been on. And all of it was fate, destiny he knows he couldn't prevent, just another step in his journey through his music career, and more importantly through life. |
