| Parkway Drive – Sleepwalker Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I have been reading "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" which is a novel that relates the routine of a mental hospital to the daily conformity driven society we live in. I strongly suggest reading it. It mentions the combine and from what my English teacher said it represents how we are sent to the combine to be indistinguishable from the rest of society. This is much like a farming combine, which cuts up the crops and makes them look the same. So the combine represents conformity and how society make us all alike. | |

I think this is about Vietnam. "At first flash of Eden We race down to the sea Standing there on freedom's shore" That would be the U.S. landing troops in Vietnam to protect freedom "Waiting for the Sun" Could mean that the U.S. as a whole is a country waiting for the realization about the conflict and to see the chaos that the war will bring. It could also stand for freedom prevailing. Since "good" is light and "evil" is dark. "Can you feel it Now that Spring has come That it's time to live in the scattered sun" The Tet offensive was a turning point in the war that begin in January 1968 and lasted through the spring and later I think. This bloody battle largely changed the public's opinion on the war. The "scattered sun" could symbolize that the U.S. is ready to accept defeat to the North Vietnamese and they accept that only some of the world can have democracy. "Waiting for you to come along Waiting for you to hear my song Waiting for you to come along Waiting for you to tell me what went wrong" This is the voice of the protester trying to get through to the U.S. leaders. Many people, including soldiers, thought that the war was not being fought wrong, so they want the leaders to tell them what went wrong. |
