All of the comments so far on 'No ones gonna take my soul away' I disagree with. I have two opinions though on what it could mean, my first I think is the most likely sensible one.. 'No ones going to take my soul away' simply put FAME is everylasting depending on your level, people today still idolise, make videos, play music, dress up as people who have been dead for hundreds even thousands of years. Cleopatra anyone? I cannot find the quote but Brad pitt playing Achilles in 'Troy' springs to mind, the speech he gives about death and fame... Basically with fame you never die, your average person who remembers them once they have died once family/friends have died out, if they havnt done anything noteworthy in their life they wont even be remembered in their own family let alone anywhere else. Fame makes people immortal In the past few years its become almost internet mainstream the whole 'illumanti' thing. Hundreds of singers have been asked in interviews now what they think about the whole 'illumanati' thing and whether they are part of it. People are dedicating their lives spreading the word of the 'illumanati' that they are almost turning it into some kind of religion.. kind of ironic that the people so worried about it are the ones creating the whole illusion. Every new singer now that gets famous is accused of being a 'puppet' or 'part of' the 'illumanati' I think Lana is aware of this concept and is abit of a joke saying even if they could that nobody is taking her soul. |

I have heard of a guy im sure is called 'baby blue' from a rap trio. Cannot find him on the internet though, just a female rapper coming up. 'Everyone knows why I do what I do' A siren to all the 'baby blue's'? |

I think the jist of the whole song is to do with celebrities influence on society mixed with somebody from the inside giving their own personal account. "Take me in your fast car, Mercedes Kissing on your neck while you're driving Doesn't care, I'm always on my blackberry All the time all the time, buying into every line I'm a flashy little lush, but he thinks I'm really fine Notorious and wild takes me where I'm gonna shine" Shes either having a relationship with some rich guy and he is helping her get 'there' or she is sleeping with him so that he will get her 'there' either way shes going to 'shine' "Where the bad boys roll hard dressin' like James Dean And the vixen starlets feel so good to be" Everyone is dressing well, everyone is rich and famous in the area they are hanging at, shes enjoying playing the part of a 'vixen' How any old joe can go from just your average person to a major celebrity within a short time span if they know the right people and do everything they might have to do to get there. Most other 'career' choices have to be worked at for years and years for even a tiny bit of fame. The kind of people she is talking about ARE 'fame' in itself. "We're children of the bad revolution And partyin's the only solution In our minds there ain't any confusion About who we are and what we're gonna be We're gonna get free free free free free free free Get free" 'Children of the bad revolution' could be interpreted in at least three ways I can think of, but I'll go with it meaning that from money and power(which come from war and like it or not death and destruction) the 'first' celebrities born, from each era there are always those that idolize celebrity culture so much that they want to become it and so they do. Its a circle. Whatever 'revolution' is going on there are always going to be children from it. It can be personal also, alot of celebrities have had very difficult lives before become a celebrity, they may of been poor, lost everything and everyone, had drug/alcohol habits, been homeless etc when you are in that state fame,money and power can be at its most appealing as what else do you have to live for? You go from one end of the spectrum to the other, which is like some kind of metaphor for the whole birth/life/death cycle ... those people inspire the next generation in the same predicaments.... 'We run our lives' In her eyes with this lifestyle you take a fast track whilst being 'free' singing.. writing.. being an artist. Attending 'parties' as a career... everyone without that can be viewed as being chained in a sense and not expressing themselves. If YOU are the force of fame then you are your own career etc In the world we live in every day life can feel constrictive, getting to 'higher places' seems to offer some kind of freedom, money ,power, a voice etc to have some impact or imprint on the world rather. Basically being a CAUSE not an EFFECT .. of course everyone is both but this is a much bolder obvious way. 'but its tragic, nothing magic makes us free' im at a loss here but the most basic guess would be that no matter what you do in life freedom is a time period, not something permanent just like anything. Really its the way you view it, you could say freedom is an emotion. One persons prison is another persons meadow. How can we every be truly 'free' until we leave our earthly bodies that demand so much just for survival... depends what you call freedom. |
