| Anberlin – The Resistance Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
I appologize now for my bad English. I'm a french personn and I will do like I learnd in my class to analyse. «You wanna watch us break? Be the first to take us down» here we can understand that there two group wich they are against each other. but we don't know if the «you» is a group or a lonely personn. So I will say it's like a rebellion because of the title «The Resistance». «But your teeth are worn» teeth --> mouth --> speech. the speech is worn it's bad. or even the teech has bite in so much thing that they ended worn and harmless. « And there's no stopping us now» against it recall the ideo of a rebellion is in run the man very powerful is not enough powerful to stop the rebellion. «You called me mental» an insult... we say the leader of the rebellion (nothing tell me it's the leader who is speaking...) is mentally unstable. in other word he is crazy. that the cause he defend has nosense. «Your speeches are maligned» with this we can think it's a politic man. malingned mean pernicious which is mean harmful, dangerous but maligned show an evil intention behind it. malign mean too denigrate (I imagine it's the leader speech is denigrate) «Take down this molotov of word» Molotov I think to the Molotov cocktail. explosive and burning. the word ar explosive and burning (of volontee and of false promises ) it remind again the speech is worn «Speak Speak for yourself» the leader ordon to the politic man to stop to speak for the group (I must remembec the politic man is lonely in his side) almost to shut up. «You paper tiger» you can always see paper tiger on wiki. but rapidily in mean something or someone who looks big and dangerous (tiger) is in reality harmless. the leader is saying that the leader can't hurt or even bring down the group because he is in reality powerless. even he is so unpowerful he put himself down «You crash where you stand». «Too late to make demands When you've got a riot on your hands» the political man may have reconize that is powerless and finally asked for some compromise and concession but it's too late because the rebellion have started. (riot = public disorder) «Silent alarms are ringing Sounds of revolt draw near» that remind the idea of the rebellion which will start real soon. the rebellion started in the shadow but will soon explose «A new united front That you will come to fear» I think this mean the group will be so powerful that it will be able to renvers the politic man and he won't be able to stop it. «Those are the voices With every common man engaged» in the end, the crazy man is the politic man (say by the leader) «Ignite and watch us burn Til every embers turn My God we'll feel inspired When we set your walls to fire » that shows the group want to reverse the politic man |

| Corey Hart – Sunglasses at Night Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
I will try to analyse like I do in my french class (I'm a french person so I may not understand all the expression) «I wear my sunglasses at night» I asked why he's wearing sunglasses. I ended up with 1th there is a big light in front of him and he can't see what is in front of him like when it's sunny or superstar with the flash of camera 2th it's because he want to hide himself and we don't recognize him. «Watch you weave then breathe your story lines» weave your story lines = make her own story (I must say that nothing tell me it's a girl but I will say it's one) breathe your story line = live her own story and what do the guy with the sunglasse? He only Watch he's not a actor only a Spectator. we can see the distance between these two people. «So I can so I can Keep track of the visions in my eyes» here we have an idea why he put sunglasses. he want to SEE the girl living and NOT HIDING from the girl. so the girl is a kind of light? the light is a kind of illumination (a kind of metaphore to say extreme hapiness?) or more like a light used by magicien to trick or eyes (like hapiness showed it's not truth)? in both case he want to see the truth. «While she's deceiving me It cuts my security has» so the way she is living is deceiving him. and make him unsure. again this go in the way that the sunglasse help him to Watch her. « She got control of me I turn to her[...]» got is the simple past of the verb «to get» so it's mean that it's not more the case. it other case he would have say she gets control of me to say she STILL manipulating him.«I turn» is a confirmation that he's normally speaking in present term. he is not only telling an old story. «Don't switch the blade on the guy in shades oh no Don't masquerade with the guy in shades» switch the blade. = he's hurted by the girl and she continues to hurt him. masquerade = to trick him, to give false expectation. that go in the same way of «she got control of me» again these recall that he want to find the truth regarding the girl. and to be no more hurted. I must say there is a OPPOSITION between the girl and the boy. the girl is the light (why he's wearing sunglasses) and the guy is the dark (he's calling himself «the guy in shades») «'Cuz you got it made with the guy in shades» it's not a hope, or an abition it's really happened. she really hurted him and played him. «Forget my name while you collect your claim» here I must ask is it him forgetting his own name or it's the girl forgetting the name of the guy? if it's him it would mean that he lost himself that he can't even remember who he is. if it's the girl it would mean that he was a guy like anyother, he was only a tool in her plan in her masquarade. She used him to receive honor and reputation from people who is watching her without sunglasses without being protected(«while you collect your claim») «See the light that's right before my eyes» that is the confirmation that the girl is a kind light and he wear his sunglasses to not be dazzle by the girl. «I say it to you now I wear my sunglasses at night» I think he's telling to the girl that this time he won't be tricked because he saw who she is Under all the light she shows. He saw who she really is. And now he has sunglasses to see the truth regarding the girl «I cry to you I wear my sunglasses at night» here it's really interressing... (I find) it is cry because he has tears? or it's cry like a scream? maybe it's both of it? if it's with tears it's hurts because of the truth he saw. he is deceiving by the girl. he found out with the masquarade she made to him. if it's a scream it show a volontee that he won't be tricked again by her. I must remind the term used has become stronger cry ˃ say |
