| A Fine Frenzy – Borrowed Time Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| This song is simply beautiful. I agree with all the other comments. The only lyric I wish was explained is "Waiting to divide, to divide." I looked all over for an explanation to that lyrics but I can't find one! The explanation I came up with is that our time in life keeps getting divided little by little, and we need to appreciate every second of it without fearing the end and regretting not living our lives. | |
| Shiny Toy Guns – Major Tom (Peter Schilling cover) Lyrics | 14 years ago |

After my 12th repeat I decided to look the lyrics up. I must say I was blown away. Major Tom seems to be trying to find his place in life, and he is willing to abandon his way of life to do so. He wasn't completely honest with those around him, but he was selfish, he wanted to find his purpose. The setting of space symbolizes how lonely this mission is, finding his place. I think this is relates to everyone. The younger generation is still searching for their purpose, figuring out what they want to do with their life. Older generations may have realized they made a mistake when determining this, they may want to change it. They might also just question it, wonder what else they could have done. A few translations from the original german song didn't translate into the song. Liem's input on the translation: "Hello Major Tom. Are you receiving? Turn the thrusters on. We're standing by." the german version goes "Hello Major Tom, can you hear us? Do you really want to destroy this project?" which strongly implies that he decided to throw the mission.The ending is also slightly different, with Major Tom musing that a "light is leading me through space, I'm coming soon ... I'm starting to feel cold". |
