| Sting – Why Should I Cry For You? Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
if the reference by Sting is not to the Hamlet, it is well interpreted. like the soliloquies which fill Hamlet, it seems Sting has his own soliloquy here, for so many times he asks himself the same question, why, Sting as the singer here has his own conflict trying to understand what he does not want in himself. the verses below support even more a conflict approaching madness for understanding/resolution. Dark angels follow me Over a godless sea Mountains of endless falling, For all my days remaining, |

| Freur – Doot Doot Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
croaking frogs (sex) barking dogs (response to emotions which drive the questions, "what" and/or "why") laughing man (common response to understanding a mystery, similar to an expression of "ohhh" (now i see)) rock stars movie stars adoring fans reflection ("doot doot") fame is fleeting "what's in a name?" (what is the value of popularity) "face on a stage" (rock star at concert) "where are you now?" (the fame was only temporary, do you realize it now?) "memory fades, you take a bow" (after the popularity is over, even the memory of you/it ends. the bow is the last before the end) "here in the dark" (in the theatre) "watching the screen" (seeing famous movie stars) "look at them fall" (end credits, names, movie stars fall from fame) "the final scene" ("the end" is same for the movie and them) "look at them fall" (the famous rock and movie stars, their time ends) "flicker and fade" (slowly, like the end of a movie reel) "gone are the screams" (no more adorning fans, no more popularity) "i put them to bed, now they are dreams" (a once celebrity comes to terms w/ the end of fame and now fondly recalls the old days) "and we go doot doot doot" (sounds, like croaking frogs and barking dogs, but in this case expressions by no-more celebs reflecting on the glory days of fame) |

| Tears for Fears – Everybody Wants to Rule the World Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
good interpretation that is in line w/ the lyric writer's explanation of the song. Redder, i think you could further elaborate on your interpretation to the rest of the lyrics. perhaps, for example, the line "When they do I'll be right behind you" as you say, 'everyone is going to die', thus the "I" in that line is death. "Holding hands" the last thing to do when only hope is left, humans typically embrace each other in the face of death. reminds me of Sting's song, "Russians". |
