| The Hives – Take Back The Toys Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
To Me, this song has a few meanings... --- of, You didn't get someting you wanted from someone, And were forced to play w/ a proverbial Toy instead, made w/ poor quality to boot; of medications, specifically psychotropic medications, and medications with adverse and ridiculous side effects, like projectile vomitting, explosive diarrhea and other totally undesired side effects; of gun laws and attitudes, since we don't get one from our gov't at Birth nor 18 unless you join the Service, and then look how they are treated, really what is abandoned when they return. Furthermore w/r/t attitudes how guns and war are portrayed in the media, or should I say hated, and how they are mismanaged by our gov't; and lastly, with the line "Open My eyes to what I despise and in 14 seconds or more I tear it down" feels like there is a reference to 3:14, every 3:14, and perhaps the bible in general. I've heard a lot of 3:14 references in music. There are some conflicts between 3:14s what can also be considered sh#t talking, so this song may be one version of one, not meant to be one, but subject to that criticism or ridicule, and criticizing and ridiculing, that kind of interpersonal criticism and ridicule itself. Also saying he always "tears it down" whether there is not much going on, or a huge event. |
