| Bob Marley and the Wailers – One Love Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I do get what you're saying - I'm kind of confused though. Wasn't Bob Rastafarian? I don't know much about that movement - but according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rastafari_movement they either believe that Haile Selassie I, Emperor of Ethiopia (ruled 1930—1974) was the Christ of the Bible returned, or otherwise worshiped God the Father. In fact they called Him Jah right? "Jah is the term in the King James Bible, Psalms 68. Rastas view Jah in the form of the Holy Trinity — Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit." | |

| Queen – Killer Queen Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| "People are used to hard rock, energy music from Queen, yet with this single you almost expect Noel Coward to sing it. It's one of those bowler hat, black suspender belt numbers — not that Coward would wear that. (...) It's about a high class call girl. I'm trying to say that classy people can be whores as well. That's what the song is about, though I'd prefer people to put their interpretation upon it — to read into it what they like." - Freddie Mercury | |
| Madonna – Shanti/Ashtangi Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| ...another meaning for "Thousand headed, white" is that the creation knows the Creator by many images and names and from what appear to be many different perspectives (Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, islam, etc.) - but at the core of truth there is only the one real Teacher, the one true Guru, and He/She is pure, blameless, infallible, unconditional love. | |

|
"I worship the gurus lotus feet" (I give respect and aim to walk where the Teacher walks, to learn from Him) "Awakening the happiness of the self revealed" (when the Teacher reveals that ego is unreal, happiness is inevitable) "Beyond comparison, working like the jungle Physician" (the Teacher cannot be compared to any other and spreads healing) "To pacify loss of consciousness from the Poison of existence" (the Teacher removes the distractions in day-to-day that rob of knowledge and experience of what is true and real) "In the form of a man up to the shoulders" (bound physically to the material world, yet the Teacher is free to connect to and be conscious and in relation to the divine within and without (heavenly) at all times by mind and soul) "Holding a conch, discus and sword" (the Teacher has the means of communicating to all, giving any tools necessary and able to defeat the enemy, which attacks by fear, apathy and confusion - the conch is internal soul to soul connection, the discus is infallible ability to get done any task with what is at hand, the sword is truth and love) "Thousand headed, white" (the Teacher is in all creation and all creatures - and is pure and sinless by nature) "I bow respectfully" (to the Teacher I give my best and above all, I honor thee) "Peace" (be to you and to all what it is that You - the Teacher - the Master - God - intended in what is when creating it, and what You will now and to come: love and life in all things, and in all things realization of the unbreakable infinite bond between heaven and earth, the material and the spiritual ...understanding that not even death can separate...for there is no death, there is only love and light) That's my too sense any way |

| Pink Floyd – Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. 2 Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This whole album is about greed, manipulation and oppression of authority and systematic indoctrination and the subjugation of individuality, free thinking and healthy relationships sure - but it's also about the bricks of materialism being walls that entrap us. Our love of technology over nature, our obsession with TV and movies, stereo systems, ipods, other cellular technology, cars, computers - entertainment, recreation - drugs, rock n' roll. Why do you think they portray the main rock star as some sort of hitler-esque leader of arian-like brutes - who's followed by hordes of faceless teenagers? The entertainment becomes our captor, the rock star becomes our oppressor - especially under the influence of big business in the music industry - huge arena concerts promoting over-advertised albums that are somehow supposed to fill up our otherwise empty souls? What about the local pub artists? The local circuit bands that are as good or better musicians who just don't sell out and sign deals with large record companies? We miss that soul enrichment by seeking only the biggest and richest and most exposed artists... If you watch the movie - in the end, the Wall falls and humanity continues...through it all, wars, devastation, havoc, suffering - hope was never lost...just missed - forgotten for awhile while the general perception of reality was overly focussed on distractions from life and the living of it. |
