| Regina Spektor – Samson Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Actually, I thought she was talking about her and Samson "the judge from the bibe" and , though the bible talks about Samson and Delilah (? can't ever spell her name), the never mentioned "us" there relationship. She's saying she was his first, and they couldn't bring the colums down and all that jazz but I think it could either be. 1.) Delilah, because she cut his hair. The song may be suggesting that Samson and Delilah actually planned to cut his hair and bring the columns down, but history forgot about them (there true relationship) and changed it around. or 2.) His first wife/bride/lover. Remember, Samie (samson's little nickname) wanted to marry another Philistine (don't remember the Bible naming her, but he was to marry her. idk from that point up. :) |

| Regina Spektor – Genius Next Door Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Ok, mine is long and detailed, but looking at the lyrics and your comments, I think I have the answer!!! 1. Notice how Regina talks about all these different people, local people, the "genius next door", the athiest, and the reporters. 2. In the bible, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan river. In Christianity, christians are baptized in Holy Water, or at least in the Catholic church, this just may be the local lake. 3. At first I thought the "genius next door" committed suicide, but after reading someone elses who thought the same thing. Regina says: Didn't care as long as he was able To strip his clothes off by the dumpsters At night while every one was sleeping And wade midway into that porridge Just him and the secret he was keeping The genius wading in the waters, with his secrets, his darkest sins. Stripping his clothes off is leaving his past behind. when she says: If you just hold in your breath 'Til you come back up in full Hold in your breath 'Til you thought it through You foolish child she's not saying he's foolish after he comes up, but that "he or she,I say he" is foolish, because of his actions at that time. In baptism, you are considered dead when you go under the water, like drowning (If you just hold in your breath, 'til you come back up in full." Thinking it through, are you ready to change. The next day, everything is the same. Last and not least... Basically, no matter how we want to change, we always do the wrong things. Kids get drunk and swim, get a hangover. They didn't care about the lake (I think it was poluted, that's why it was thick, full of garbage and stuff.) athiest were the one keeping the secret, again witht the baptism again, and the 'genius next door' still relize on their sexuality for joy in your life. So she is saying... "If you baptize yourself for a new life, no not just come up, but take time to truely cleans. If not you are a foolish person, becaue you are still doing the same thing. and the genius may have commitied suicide, but he was still alive, unless he was on the other side. |
