| Styx – Queen Of Spades Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
"The Queen of Spades" refers to Black Tar Heroin. In the song, he talks about how it makes him feel when he takes it at night, but in the morning the high is gone, and he hits depression; then he tries to escape the addiction, but he's hooked. Then the song goes on to talk about how there's no way to win if you use it. "First time is free, from now on pay me" refers to how drug-pushers will give a free sample of addictive drugs, knowing that their victims will be back for more. |

| America – Tin Man Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
This clearly means that people go on a journey or quest for love and validation from others, like the Tinman sought a heart from the Wizard, "Oz," or Sir Galahad sought the Holy Grail; but it's a trap, since it can't be found that way-- rather, the person has it all along, and needs to believe in themselves. As for the rest, it's a metaphor about going deep into himself and the "kaleidoscopic" imagery associated with exploring and resolving his feelings. |
