| Anti-Flag – 1915 Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
This song is about Joe Hill, how his fight for worker's rights brought him to a fake (or at least very questionable) trial and a death sentence. It quotes his last will: "My will is easy to decide, For there is nothing to divide. My kin don't need to fuss and moan, "Moss does not cling to a rolling stone." My body? Oh, if I could choose I would to ashes it reduce, And let the merry breezes blow, My dust to where some flowers grow. Perhaps some fading flower then Would come to life and bloom again. This is my Last and final Will. Good Luck to All of you, Joe Hill" |

| The line "waters may rise" always made me think this song was about Noah's ark. | |
| Machinae Supremacy – Persona Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I just played Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 and knowing MaSu love for anime and games this song could totally be about this game. Especially these lines relate: Put on your new face and run run run through the night Main character loves emo songs and chorus Do you belong or do you try to erase yourself just to pass as one of them, merely refers to game's final decision. But I could be wrong. |

The whole album sounds political to me, thus i agree with first interpretation. Great cleans in song btw. |

| Miss May I – Our Kings Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Looks like a political song to me, huh. They want to say our leaders are greedy bastards not afraid of killing people for their need. Starving to taste ourselves feast for only the ones who are kings - they are starting wars for their own profit. The outcome of a revolution built to consume itself - Those who revolted against injustice will finally destroy their own ideals (sth like "power corrupts") |

| Trivium – Shogun Lyrics | 15 years ago |

Ok, as for hidden meaning, I suppose this song could be about ecological problems. "Time will not heal.." speaks about damage people made to planet that can't be undone. "Monsters walking among us" could be oil, gas and technocrat magnates killing nature just for profits. "Take all you have brought to sacrifice, for you will lose much more" stands for people trying to save ecology, but unaware of how much they shall do for it. And then song comes to some kind of apocalypse, Earth revenge for all the harm done and people striving for life. Other lines can also be interpreted in this way. That's how I see it. |
