My Chemical Romance – Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na) Lyrics 14 years ago
Forgot to add.

"The future is bulletproof"

What type of guns did they use in the music video? They used lasers, not bullets. :p

My Chemical Romance – Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na) Lyrics 14 years ago
The song's happy upbeat and lyrics make me think "live your life to the fullest", "go out with a bang".

Watching the music video, that is essentially what its all about. They are non-conformists. The wackiness is kind of ironic because it is how I live my life, which I've been told I remind some people of the comic character "The Creeper". Mwhaha! ;)

"Everybody wants to change the world, but no one wants to die. Wanna try?"

That lyrical line is how you should live your life to the fullest. Just release yourself as if you are trying to change or save the world. It is a win/win because if you die, you still change the world.

Placebo – Twenty Years Lyrics 15 years ago
"There are twenty years to go,
And twenty ways to know,
Who will wear,
Who will wear the hat."

This comes across as who will wear down or break down each year within the twenty years. "Who will wear the hat" means who will still be around each year within the twenty years. This lyrical segment is restated with "Though some may hold the rose, some hold the rope.".


"You're the truth not I"

In my opinion, that line means the truth is the by-product of the twenty years, which is the future self. Metaphorically, the twenty years have been condensed down. All the interactions, friendships, experiences, etc. you've accumulated in those short twenty years has made you into the individual you are, the truth...


"That’s the end and that’s the start of it,
That’s the whole and that the part of it,
That’s the high and that’s the heart of it,
That’s the long and that’s the short of it,
That’s the best and that’s the test of it,
That’s the doubt; doubt the trust in it,
That’s the sight and that’s the sound of it,
That’s the gift, that’s the trick in it."

This elaborates on "You're the truth not I". How? Eight descriptive lines are followed by eight repeats of "You're the truth not I", which they make sense when applied in conjunction.



I relate to this song in the sense that I've plotted out the next twenty years of my life with a high degree of malleability, though the end goal is still the same. Sometimes, I think about all the joys, pains, laughs, sorrows, friends, random strangers, new perspectives, etc. I will experience and encounter. I know in twenty years I will be a different person, I will be a by-product of the twenty years. My future self is the truth of the twenty years. My future self is the truth not I.



Just my perspective, which I sometimes feel like I'm in a cocoon...

Rev Theory – Far From Over Lyrics 15 years ago
I find it means never giving up. Perhaps a holding onto a impossible dream, even though you've been beaten down and spit on in your pursuits.

The dream could be true love or otherwise.
