| Adele – Hometown Glory Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Obviously about London, but I think the song is about the differences in opinion between two different generations. Verse 1: "dear" and "madam" reveals a conversation between a youngster and an older woman. The youngster is wandering aimlessly (alludes to no direction in life) and the older woman offers help. Verse 2: She loves her hometown all year round even in winter ("the air is thick and opaque") and summer ("short skirts, shorts and shades"). She even loves how diverse it is with all the different cultures of the world living in one place ("when two worlds collide") but then you get the "people" and "the government" taking different sides on whether this is such a great thing (immigration issues). Verse 3: Contrasted with the politeness of verse 1. Basically, we don't care what you say, we have our own opinions and we will live our life our own way. |

I think the song is about making your own 'destiny', writing your own life. Your life is 'one moment' so don't waste it in a 'car' (life) that doesn't want to start. Get out of the car and go to the nearest bar and 'live in the moment' (Don't let the obstacles of life stop you from grabbing new opportunities that let you have a good time for a while). So I think the singer found his 'God' (i.e. a saviour) that saved him from his dull life for a moment... and stayed. |

| Ben's Brother – Bad Dream Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I interpreted the song as a message to someone who was slipping into death, the singer begging the dying person to 'wake' from death. It's sung so beautifully. So controlled yet so desperate and frantic at the high notes. | |
