| Matthew Good – Champions of Nothing Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
"When Hollywood runs out of Indians" is probably about the dwindling native population in Hollywood. When the last "authentic american" there disappears, no one will notice as Hollywood becomes 100% fake. The next part is about leaving your wife/girlfriend because you realise she's a fake. "And I'd say what you'd say it makes me feel nothing" is about saying "I love you" There are references throughout the song to issues of global warming, poverty and human rights violations |

| The version with violins is insane. Best jedi mind song imo. | |
| Massive Attack – Atlas Air Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I recently went to their concert and this song was one of my favorites when performed live. Some of their songs change quite a bit when performed on stage. This one was definitely better live than angel. | |
| Massive Attack – Pray for Rain Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I think this song is about Massive Attack's relationship with their fans. "In deepest hollows of our minds A system failure left behind Dull residue of what once was A shattered cloud of swirling doves" Massive Attack was suffering from creative challenges (e.g. it's taken them 7 years to release a new album) "And their eyes change As they learn to see through flames And their necks crane As they turn to pray for rain" The fans have grown to love the music, and learned to see through "flames" (the logo of Blue Lines) Their necks now craned as they "prayed for rain", i.e. wished the band released more music "Vision walls fall all receding Hearts and wings commence to beating All unending, all completing" The band feels inspired and moved at last, and begin to produce music once again. Heligoland is the result. This song could also be interpreted similarly in connection with any creative/talented person that others depend upon for whatever reason. The person goes through a "system failure" but recovers in the end and begins to benefit others once again. |
