| King Crimson – The Court of the Crimson King Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
i think this song has to do with religion. i think court of the crimson king deals with the realm of religion, but quite superficially, & on a global aspect. "I walk a road, horizons change, the tournament's begun. The choir softly sing; three lullabies in an ancient tongue." Demonimations create confusion and chaos, and war is on the horizon. this all is an omen that point to death -> black queen, funeral march (or the image of soldiers in line), the cracked brass bells will ring (justice perversed), to summon back the fire witch (explosion of war), to the court of the crimson king (the enforcement of religion). "the gardener plants an evergreen whilst trampling on a flower." the sort of paradox a religious man finds himself in when claiming that one religion is absolute, proud of his own yet the trampling on the likes of others. In all of this happening to the writer, he finds himself in the grips of a personal conflict, influenced by the conflicts of society -> "I run to grasp divining signs to satisfy the hoax." The HOAX being the portrait of religion that the world paints for you. It has strayed from the very being of religion. A very deep, poignant song. Lots of creative literary devices. |

| Bush – Personal Holloway Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
i honestly believe this is about a strained relationship with a girl, perhaps with a (depressed/suicidal?) girl who has let her condition get in the way of their relationship. And in the end, he decides to end all this bullshit and make himself happy, even if that means cutting this girl off. "She's blue in the face again, paracetamol, sleep the darkness all away" a method the girl uses to drown her sorrow, unhealthily. "And drinking kitchen paint to dye the winter I hope we'll never see again" kitchen paint can be alcohol to make sure the winter, as we all know is the most depressing season of the year, is not as depressing as last time. "Deaf and dumb with the lights on" they or she chooses to be ignorant of the status of their relationship, even when it is clear as day. "Married by signs" he feels as though it's his obligation to stick with her through these obvious signs of her depression. "A personal holloway, six months linen, it's safe to say we are alone" even though he's in a relationship he feels as though he's living in Holloway Prison, alone as ever. "Move a little way forward, move a little way now" here the singer makes a little progress and shows the audience that he's thinking of something in his mind. "Bleed life, breathe life" he is suggesting that maybe letting the relationship die is the best way to make himself feel alive again. "Could it be a better plan" but here we see that the singer can't go through with the plan. he is only stuck contemplating doing what is best for himself. |
