| Dream Theater – The Bigger Picture Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
I get the impression that its about someone who's committing suicide. Not a specific person, but it's speaking out to the listeners and readers as the signs and description, signs, and actions that a person without hope and guidance in their life anymore is looking for a light, a hand, the help they need desperately but aren't receiving. As it goes farther down the song it's like you're missing the signs, and as they mentally get worst, and can't contain themselves, he eventually does kill himself. |

| Nocturnal Rites – Fools Never Die Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
The thing I find it to closest relate to is the news, and specifically the news presented by Fox News. How if your opinion opposes what was stated on national TV that naturally the societies we live in today believe that you're the controversial one for even opposing what was said on the TV screen. Though it is controversial to do so by obligated standards that the fools present, its only because they think being informed is enough to make them feel that they're superior and have a larger ego. Quickly jumping the gun that the media today and news even more so are wrong more often than not and that the assumption of "NEW" things being the intellectually highest standard achievable. The conceited people like this psychologically are connected to the same studies that cell phones give off when it draws the line of how we socially and almost make it a hobby to simply check things like the news and use it to close out the rest of the world in our own little space of comfort and ignoring others. Sadly with social media today though, this occurs more often than it ever should because the concept of the internet freeing most intimidation from free-speech. e.g Saying fuck you on the internet, and saying it seriously in real life. A lot to say, but I support everything that it represents in this song honestly. |

| I Fight Dragons – Money Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Doesn't really need a lot of explaining to interpret this song, as it explains itself clearly. Its all about money, derp. Today we use it, we need it, it makes us, it takes us, and so on and so fourth with the analogies that aren't really that hard to live by. We just deal with it and live with the requirement, when we were born it wasn't a prerequisite. Though at a certain age it becomes more than just that. Comments about shitty bosses, about shitty government, everything basically. But when it breaks down to it, the song is just saying that everything would be in chaos if we suddenly didn't have money. If the world's money just disapeared what would things turn to? Chaos. Its because love, faith, bosses, corporations, everything we live by today doesn't matter. Money is the back-bone of all of it. - Along with many other things of course, but money is the most contreversial debatably. |

| Symphony X – Dehumanized Lyrics | 14 years ago |

Following up with my comment on "Bastards of The Machine", it appears that my suggestion that the humans were being turned into Robots was correct. http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858873409/#73016072073 On that note it's most certainly the case of a human creating a robot, or life-saving technology that would take and experiment with the human-natures and features of the body. "Tap the vein - inject my brain And let the poison flow Torn apart - you're ripping out my heart It's painless, let it go" This song begins with talking about injecting a person's vein to number their brain with a unknown chemical, as they proceed to rip out his heart. (and other organs more than likely) Not necessarily replacing his body parts, but creating a whole new image of a being (robots). Its painless, which may imply that they've taking his brain out as well or that the injected chemical was a pain-killer of some sort, or numbed him, or even killed him in the processing of it spreading. "Come on, Hit the switch - you son of a bitch I'm devoured, broke in two You take control and resurrect my soul Becoming something new..." Saying "Hit the Switch" may imply that there were forms of death like poison, electrocuting, etc that were possible to use if it went wrong, while they ignore it as he's being consumed even more by the venom as it describes "devoured, broke in two". It takes control, and brings him back to life after he was previously dead when they took his organs, becoming something new. A machine no less? - Derp. Its unsure to what exactly they were creating, but based on the 'robot' factors in Bastards of The Machine it's likely that robots are indeed what was being made. "What's done is done - I'm dead inside I'm what you've all become - mindless and mesmerized" The venom is still spreading as it's reflecting on the fact that he's already dead, (hypothetically) mentally by the idea, and literally from his heart being taken out. He's exactly what the plausible experimenters are, just basically stuck in awe as they're carefully staring at the reaction happening mindlessly. "Dehumanized I'm Dehumanized Don't you realize - I'm Dehumanized Oh, and Victimized You can't break me, You unmake me - Dehumanized Yeah! Ooh!" He's no longer human as this entire experiment reflects on the change that has happened in such a short time. Ripping out his organs, while his body is changing entirely into something new and un-humane. Whatever the results of the experiment from this point on, it is clear that he is no longer human. They didn't break and ruin the human species as a whole, but took it apart and "Ripped to shreds - the venom spreads Release the system plague Shed your skin - electrified within Complete the final stage" He's ripped to shreds from his body parts being torn out, as the venom is still spreading through his body no less with an open chest, as his skin is shedding and being torn apart, he's completing the "final stage" predicting that the venom is almost finished spreading and circulating through his remains. The song goes on further in detail about how he's not fully skinless which may mean when he says "I will break my shell, and unleash hell" that the robots can regenerate the skin to look like humans but on the inside… Yeah. "Just a cut above - a sacred new blood" I'm sure of what this refers to frankly, though its debatable, it may mean the fuel source which could be something involved with the 'venom' earlier that spread through him. It’s the best guess in my opinion since nothing is else plausible is spoken of. (in this song anyways) In the last lyrics, on the "is this life" part, it hints the possibility that the brain was left in the body and that they have a sense of consciousness. Which is more than likely true due to how he says "You take control, and resurrect my soul" earlier on. So what does one consider that? When they're being controlled, their body externally is fake, cold and numb. They can't see, and generally aren't sure of what they've become. Is it worth the question? Is it a life or just a lie? Are you living or is what is left of you just a lie. Is that even living? Our own consciousness is one of the most controversial things in human existence, so what can you even think in a time of unknowing, unbarring, and unfeeling existence? A very nice song though it merely just describes the process of the robots taking over humans, no battling of course, but that's why I like this song. It doesn't change its subject and surroundings suddenly and switch to rocket arms, it stays focused on the expression, pain, and aftermath of taking over. This may not be the fullest-description of the song, though all that I said is the best interpretation I've got. |

I'm really have difficulties understanding what this song is targeting specifically. Though of course when I listen to it I feel like I've just read a book and heard a story. Lol. The entire album is revolved around the HumanxRobot subject, like Iconclast explains with the battle to begin the album. So what this makes me begin to think of is possibly humans that are being born outside of the remaining society suiting themselves to choose whether to assist the robots or go with the humans, etc. I really lean towards this merely because how the song is always left and right with the crucial subjects. So I begin to think Human or Robot as well. Though to go into depth on other thoughts, I begin to think that no matter what decisions they make that are suggested in the song that at some point they are going to be taken by the robots, etc. Because its saying you have your choice of what you want to be, then suddenly says "Enslaved and hypnotized", and so fourth as it continues on with good or bad, then proceeds to say "With a kiss of death - a last farewell". The humans who are caught are turned into robots by the robots themselves, and when he says, "I see your demons rise - Deep within your burning eyes You are the Bastards of the Machine The Bastards of the Machine" It may be a reflection or more or less warning to the newer humans that if they don't make the right decisino that they'll end up being one of the robots in the end. They're bastards because their mother and father characteristics no longer even matter since they're a whole new being. - This is my best guess anyways. |

| Within Temptation – Faster Lyrics | 14 years ago |

Good song, I had the same thoughts as Lemon on this for the most part. However the hardest part of this for me to interpret is when she says "Faster, and faster, and faster,", etc. The song is titled that, but what is it really saying about the relationship aspect? - Anyone with half a brain could think of sex, though that certainly isn't it obviously. Really, re-read the lyrics. It starts off with, "I can't sleep 'Cause it's burning deep inside Like gasoline On a fire burning wild" You can easily see that it goes amongst the lines of "being driven by loust, love, and self-indulgence" and how its hurting her, but she "can't" stop it. "No more fear 'Cause I'm getting closer now So unreal But I like it anyhow" She's not afraid of the consequences or aftermath because she's already at a "point of no return" to where its impacted her enough so it doesn't phase her with caution. She's only doing it more and more and enjoying herself because even with the bad out-come she's lost a level of self-respect, or something on those lines to where it doesn't matter to her. So she continues to "I go faster, faster Faster, faster Faster, faster Faster" See, then its just "FASTER, FASTER, FASTER" from no where. Is she saying she's feeding into her temptation, addiction, or lust, etc? It isn't really explained in depth about what she's feeding into, though obviously with the mentions of love its more than likely a relationship of some sort. |
