| Isn't the Trojan virus named after the Trojan horse though? Because of the similar nature of the problem, not being able to get it out. | |
| David Bowie – Saviour Machine Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I completely agree with the concepts other people have put forward. I think one of the most terrifying things about 'the machine' is that it felt pain and anguish in the knowledge that it would have to kill. The saviour machine has been made so human it is imperfect, just as the humans who built it are. A secondary message to this could be that perfection is unachievable for imperfect beings such as ourselves. |

| David Bowie – Space Oddity Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I think this is about Bowie's anger at the way the world is and how he cannot change anything he can do "Planet Earth is blue (lonely and sad) and there's nothing I can do." The song is about Bowie escaping from this anger by becoming isolated, whether through drugs or another means. I think he feels strange, but enjoys the sensation of isolation from the people of Earth. |
