Rush – Test for Echo Lyrics
| 9 years ago
|
I think I agree with the general consensus. The song is talking about how we have turned crime and illicit activity into no more than a form of entertainment. Think about it, we have NCIS, Law and Order, Breaking Bad, even House of Cards. Some more white-collar crime than others, but none the less they are crimes that have been written out with some names and turned into entertainment. The term Vertigo, meaning "a sensation of whirling and loss of balance, associated particularly with looking down from a great height, or caused by disease affecting the inner ear or the vestibular nerve; giddiness" could be talking about society's level of sensitivity to horrific imagery. I mean, come on, I never really watched NCIS until recently when I stopped on it flipping channels and was unaware that I would be seeing a family beaten to death with a baseball bat and left bleeding on the floor as their 5 year-old daughter walks through the room. Can someone please tell me how exactly that is entertaining? Where are we headed next in entertainment? |

Pink Floyd – Yet Another Movie Lyrics
| 10 years ago

I have always gotten a blood-chilling picture every time I hear this song. The verse:
"He has laughed and he has cried
he has fought and he has died
he's just the same as all the rest,
he's not the worst, he's not the best."
makes me think that its criticizing humanity and how the individual is considered nothing to the realm of the world. It relates to many of their lyrics from many of their albums: "Shall we set out across this see of faces? In search of more and more applause?" (What Shall We Do Now?, The Wall movie) "Don't worry, nobody lives forever." (A New Machine pt. I, AMLOR)
I think it is a meaning of saying that "forever" is a meaningless term and thinking your name will ever be remembered when your gone. In other words, you die, your gone and you don't matter or change the world anymore if you ever did when you were alive. As Pink said in the song "he's just the same as all the rest." |

*palmface*
Are you serious? This is a song about being insecure. I mean what the hell?! I'm a teen and I can understand this better apparently. Please don't guess what a song is about from the title, it makes you look like a real ass. Ok? |

The Who – Tea & Theatre Lyrics

I think this song is about a relationship with someone that the main character loved being ended and him looking back on it with mournfully "Wired all the roads So seamlessly. We made it work. But one of us failed. That makes it so sad. A great dream derailed. One of us - gone. One of us - mad. One of us - me. All of us sad."
Pete is defiantly talking about someone he loved, "Lean on my shoulder now. This story is done."
This song has really been a song that I have listened to and thought a lot. |

Bruce Springsteen – Mary Queen of Arkansas Lyrics
| 11 years ago
|
I would say that its someone who loves this girl (Mary) who will love him and then hate him. They come from two different worlds; the man, a working class man, Mary, came from a rich, upper class family. The man tries to leave her (But I was not born to live to die and you were not born for queenin') and she goes into a mode of depression and kills herself (But on your bed Mary I can see the shadow of a noose). He then regrets breaking her heart and wants to start over (But I know a place where we can go, Mary. Where I can get a good job and start all over again clean). |

The Who – Baba O'Riley Lyrics

true, I was just at the who concert in December and on the jumbo-tron for the song, they had the lyrics playing behind them, it said fight. Also, right after "I don't need to fight, to prove I'm right," it says "I don't need to be forgiving." So really, I personally think it is meant to be however you interpret it. |

The whole thing of Teenage Wasteland is about someone who is in that time period of their life that they can see they are more mature and they see what they are in and the thoughts and ideas around them are a 'teenage wasteland' |
