| Peter Gabriel – Father, Son Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
couldnt have described it better, Woodysing. one of the reasons this song is easy to relate to, is because it is not overly romantic, but acknowledge the difficulties between the father and son. i got tears in my ears by reading the lyrics and the memory of the song. |

| Radiohead – Bullet Proof...I Wish I Was Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
i've always thought of this song as a picture of wanting to invulnerable and avoid getting hurt. most people have probably been in a situation, where you just wish to be bulletproof, so you dont have to spend your time on being depressed and sulking around. -though the fact that we're not bulletproof, is in my opinion, a basic human trait: if you're bulletproof you will not experience great moments, as friendship, love and so on.. (damn sappy, huh?) being hurt is a part of life: just like a child you will get a scratch now and then, but it will make you more experienced and its a part of life. tl,dr: a picture of wanting to be bulletproof and avoid getting hurt in different ways, though being completly bulletproof is not human. |

| Muse – Citizen Erased Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
i think of the first part, as covering up a crucial lie, which would change an important relationship (not necessarily a girl/boyfriend). Our character is rather messed up because of the wish to "to see and to be what you want and what you need" and because "the truth's unwinding, scraping away at my mind, please stop asking me to describe". Torn between wanting to dwell in the blissful ignorance ("for one moment, i wish...) and knowing that the truth must be uncovered. But since it is only for "one moment" he wishes to keep the secret, he obviously tell lie, which leads to part 2: the second part is when the lie have been uncovered and how our character reacts toward the affected person. just my 2 cents at the moment. Though i often interpret the song in different ways depending on my mood. About the rape interpretation; i might hold some truth, but it is just an annoying meaning for all of us who have not been affected by rape. Probably my favourite muse song. |
