| Danger Mouse and Daniele Luppi – Black Lyrics | 13 years ago |

This part is interesting "Until you travel to that place you can't come back". It could refer to Judgement after death but I feel like it's more referring to life experiences. I think most people have places in their life they can't go back to. The song refers to crimes, so this could relate to dark life experiences such as going to jail, but I think ended relationships fit too. Like if someone you loved lied to screw you in a divorce "and they tried", then there's nothing left but black. Going back to the criminal undertones, it was a perfect fit when they played this in the ending episode of season four Breaking Bad. The complete moral fall of the character Walter White and his rise from the ashes becoming becoming the danger, it was underscored by this song perfectly. It's an amazing song! |

| When I Was A Lion – 6 Little Eggs Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
IMHO, I think it's a simple dark song for clubbers about how your life and the lives of friends can change fast, so be safe. Simple and very general. A little dark but honest. Good beat too. Conceptually this song is like Ring Around The Rosy. It's short, whimsical and it has meaning. Eggs is a common term for young people or in context young adults. They have sex then "boom dubi dom". That sounds like a whimsical conclusion meaning something like "oops things changed". My impression is it's probably symbolic for a life changing event relating to sex. Further emphasized with the words "watch out be safe" This is a lot like how the phrase "They all fall down" is used in Ring Around The Rosy. This is a song about how all the "eggs" fall down. So what's happening in the song? * Words: 6 little eggs on the run Meaning: Young adults running around * Words: they fuck each other Meaning: sex, fighting, drugs, craziness * Words: three goes "boom dubi dom" Meaning: Arrested, Pregnant, Disease, other life changes * Words: watch out be safe so Meaning: This is a warning * Words: 3 little eggs had sex Meaning: sex, fighting, drugs, craziness * Words: 1 win and 2 explode, goes "boom dubi dom" Meaning: 2 were: Arrested, Pregnant, Disease, other life changes Win could mean life got better in some way or life stayed the same and didn't get worse. * Words: 2 little eggs in the sun, one sleep too long goes boom boom, boom dubi dom Meaning: Could be symbolic of overdose or addiction, probably explaining how those last two "eggs" lives "exploded". * Words: the story ends with 1 little egg was blind, make suicide with a pen bomb, boom dubi dom Meaning: Blind to happiness, "pen bomb" could mean she wrote a suicide note and suicided or "pen bomb" could mean she made a legal filing like divorce. If I was making a music video, I'd show show someone signing a legal paper and handing it in. * Words: another story come Meaning: There are a lot more new people out there and new stories, your story is one of them. This song makes me think of some friends I knew in college: * One couple had sex and oops, pregnant and boom dubi dom they married. Life changed. * Another guy had sex and thought the girl was on BC, boom dubi dom she had a kid and ran off with the child. He lost his life as a surfer dude. * One guy's wife ran off with the neighbor. Boom dubi dom, life changed. * Another guy lost a chunk of leg in an accident. Wife didn't like cripples. Boom dubi dom, life changed. Eventually they put him back together and boom dubi dom his life got better. * One guy I knew got all the girls then his arm almost torn off in adventure sport. Boom dubi dom, it slowed him down for a little while but he pushed though it. The point is, a lot of things can happen in life. You could make very long lists of all the good and bad things that can happen in life. But that wouldn't work for a short song, so the song writer was more metaphorical. |
