| Genesis – Abacab Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
I think I have figured out this song. First ABACAB denotes the structure of the song...but the song is about having a hit song...see my edits below Look up on the wall, there on the floor, (Posters of rock stars) Under the pillow, behind the door. (Posters, records, tape players) There's a crack in the mirror. (pictures of the rock star shoved in the frame of a mirror) Somewhere there's a hole in a window pane. (rocking out hard that something went through the window) Do you think I'm to blame? (rock and roll is to blame) Tell me, do you think I'm to blame? (rock and roll is to blame for kids bad behavior and may be a play on Ozzy's Suicide Solution lawsuit he had to go through) (When we do it) you're never there. (when people rock out to your hit song) (When you show it) just stop and stare. (the first time you see someone rocking to your song it is weird) (Abacab) he's in anywhere.(the song is playing everywhere) (Abacab) If you're wrappin' up the world (touring to support your hit) 'Cause you've taken someone else's girl, (rock stars always get the girl) When they turn on the pillow, (headphones?) Even when they answer the telephone, (hit songs have been used extensively as a way to answer the phone using the melody) Don't you think that by now... Tell me, don't you think that by now. (you have a hit( (When we do it) you're never there. (see above) (When you show it) just stop and stare. (Abacab) he's in anywhere. (Abacab) doesn't really care. (after awhile your hit dies) Do you want it? You got it. Now you know. (this is what it is like to have a hit song) Do you want it? You got it. Now you know. It's an illusion. It's a game, (making hit music in the industry) Or reflection of someone else's name. (someone else may have written the song) When you wake in the morning, Wake and find you're covered in cellophane, ( CDs and cassettes used to be wrapped tightly with cellophane) Well, there's a hole in there somewhere. Yeah, there's a hole in there somewhere. Baby, there's a hole in there somewhere. ( there was a hole in the cellophane that you would put a pen or pencil into to rip the cellophane off) Now there's a hole in there somewhere. (it was always hard to find) (When we do it) you're never there. (When you show it) you stop and stare. (see above) (Abacab) he's in anywhere. (Abacab) |

great song - the conscience that speaks to you - the voices that make up who you are from past experiences... we have dreams, aspirations - our conscience sometimes keeps us down...sometimes we need the voice within to be positive - too many times it is negative |
