This is just a hackneyed communist diatribe with no specific connections to the song's lyrics. Are you basing this interpretation on anything besides your own political beliefs? I don't buy it. |

Huh? As of right now (11/13/2011) the lyrics just read "Don't bring me back
Don't bring me OoOoo" over and over. These are not the lyrics. |

Nevermind, Spotify mislabeled a track, so I was actually listening to a different song. |

| Kate Bush – Running Up That Hill Lyrics

Kate Bush weighs in:
"I was trying to say that, really, a man and a woman, can't understand each other because we are a man and a woman. And if we could actually swap each other's roles, if we could actually be in each other's place for a while, I think we'd both be very surprised! [Laughs] And I think it would lead to a greater understanding. And really the only way I could think it could be done was either... you know, I thought a deal with the devil, you know. And I thought, 'well, no, why not a deal with God!' You know, because in a way it's so much more powerful the whole idea of asking God to make a deal with you. You see, for me it is still called "Deal With God", that was its title. But we were told that if we kept this title that it would not be played in any of the religious countries, Italy wouldn't play it, France wouldn't play it, and Australia wouldn't play it! Ireland wouldn't play it, and that generally we might get it blacked purely because it had God in the title."

also i went to school with this guy, he is not a heroin addict and probably not an abused child. this song sounds to me partially like an internal emotional dialogue in his own head, and part dialogue with other people, maybe imagining what he would like to say to them. take the lyrics in whatever way they mean something to you. except drugs. it's not about drugs. if that's what you hear in every song, maybe you need to go to an NA meeting. most talented people would be nowhere if they were drug addicts, especially not at the beginning of their career, as this band is. |

so many people on here think every song is about drugs. what the hell is wrong with you? do you think musicians sit around doing drugs all day and writing songs about drugs? life is complex and subjective and song lyrics reflect this in abstractions. drugs can be fun, do whatever you want, but people don't build careers as artists by writing songs about drugs all the time. think about it. |

| Gnarls Barkley – Crazy Lyrics

I don't think this song is about psychedelic drugs, gang bangers, or "how we're all a little crazy." Cee Lo suffered from crippling depression. Often when people are lost in the throes of mental illness, they are unable to "act normal," and come to terms with not being able to adhere to social norms. This departure from caring what people think of you is in many ways liberating, and in a lot of ways allows you to see the world from a new perspective, and how trapped everyone is desperately trying to act like everyone else. His heroes probably weren't "gangbangers" (honestly, the worst interpretation here). If you look at almost any artist, musician, anyone a creative talent like Cee Lo Green might look up to, they're all pretty nuts, and do grandiose, ballsy things with their lives. Many of them have some kind of mental illness or social disorders that they have dealt with in the past or constantly live with, giving them this kind of freedom. Cee-Lo's father died when he was very young, and his mother was paralyzed in a car crash and then died. He may have felt trapped as a child, wondering how to be free. And in insanity he found freedom.
You don't even have to pay much attention to the lyrics, just listen to the emotion he sings them with. And maybe try to think a bit less literally about poetry and penetrate the depth of a song a little bit further than trite references to drugs and street life. |
