| Daft Punk – Give Life Back to Music Lyrics | 12 years ago |

Seems straight forward. There could be more to it, but I think that the song is a criticism of current music. In particular, electronic dance music. I remember reading recently that Daft Punk thought all EDM was made by the same person, because it all sounds the same. Music, or at least popular music, has definitely lost its life. |

So, reading the other comments, my interpretation of the song is vastly different, and probably wrong. But I suppose it's worth sharing anyway. When I first heard this song I thought it was about a whistleblower. "But you love everything" You're doing it for the good of everyone. "America don't love you" They certain aren't too fond of them. "In the dark of this place There's the glow of your face There's the dust on the screen Of this broken machine" Make me think of the whistleblower on a computer, away from prying eyes, gathering the information and/or leaking it online. "Oh, the motherland don't love you" Again, America don't take too kindly to having the truth exposed. "The faithless they don't love you" There are some who don't agree with what you're doing. "All the cameras and files All the paranoid styles All the tension and fear Of a secret career" Again, that feeling of top secret documents and being secretive. "Through the fire and through the flames You won't even say your name" The first part makes me think of a war and the army. If the song was about a whistleblower, it may be referring to Bradley Manning? The second line suggests wanting to remain anonymous and possibly not wanting to get caught. "And I can't help but think That you've seen the mistake But you let it go, Ya hey" You've realised that you're going to get caught, but you're still going to do it to expose the lies. Just my interpretation. Probably incorrect. |
