| Lady GaGa – Judas Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
For all of the people who think this song is blasphemy and that Lady Gaga is writing all about religion, I have to disagree. The way I look at it, this song is about a type of, "forbidden love," if you will. Gaga uses religion and the Bible as a sort of, literary allusion. Of course, I don't know much of who Judas is or any of that in the sense of the Bible - but I truly believe she's just using things as examples. Gaga herself said that the most controversial thing about the song was the video's costumes. |

| Arcade Fire – Neighborhood #2 (Laika) Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I've read somewhere that this song was written about Christopher McCandless, also known as Alexander Supertramp - which, in my opinion, is why they talk about an "older brother" named "Alex." This theory makes sense to me because of the information I've collected about the life of McCandless. For those who don't know his story; following his college graduation, Christopher McCandless - for lack of a better word - ran away from home, cutting off all contact with his family and whatever life it was he had before. He changed his name to Alexander, or "Alex," and went on a great journey, only to have it end fatally. Now, there's a lot more to the story, which I find quite interesting. You should look into it if you're interested, but more about how this story relates to Arcade Fire's song. As for "our mother should have just named you Laika," I find that that also relates to the story of McCandless. His father worked for NASA, and his mother with some relatable field. His father helped develop technology that put NASA ahead of Russia's space endeavors. Laika was the name of the dog the Russian's sent into space. There you have it, another link that could further proove that this song is indeed about Mr. Alexander Supertramp. The song may not be about this incredible man, however there are things there that definitely do not rule out that possibility. |
