|
| Ozzy Osbourne – Killer Of Giants Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
"people state your (Mother Nature's) case for without its worth" "your seas run dry; your sleepless eyes are turning red-alert" This seems to hint at Man going against Nature. So the Giants are not the super-powers, as some have said, but rather those (said) mythological figures that once rules the lands? Those whom we ruthlessly killed. (watch Gulliver's Travels, for a hint) Those who may have built pyramids; those who skeletons have been kept secret from us? Those who we portray only in fairy tales and carnivals or as horror figures? Wake up! before the giants, dragons, reawaken and we RUN FOR THE HILLS while they take revenge for our blasphemy. (I don't think Ozzy was worried about the Cold War). |

@[tenneseejed:3209] definitely. you're warm... |

| Bob Marley and the Wailers – African Herbsman Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
@[liacasino:3208] I believe the Herbsman is not just a general Rasta, but a wise old shamanic individual. |
|
| Bob Marley and the Wailers – African Herbsman Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
@[seasidezingst:3207] I believe Bob has adapted Havens' song as a comment to Lee Scratch Perry, who 'transplanted' reggae to London.... out of context, a slave to the music industry, because no one listened to that wise old Indian Rope Man (see my comment). "How quickly the Wailers & PERRY had to PART (opinions)" |
|
| Bob Marley and the Wailers – African Herbsman Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
Is Bob not referring here in the first line to LEE Scratch Perry ?! as a kind of comment... let's discuss this now? |
|
| Bob Marley and the Wailers – African Herbsman Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| It's amazing, but you have to compare this song side by side with Richie Havens' "Indian Rope Man" (also covered by Julie Driscoll & Brian Auger on Streetnoise). | |
| Richie Havens – Indian Rope Man Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
covered by Julie Driscoll & Brian Auger on their album "Streetnoise" (here on Songmeanings written separately). Compare this song to Robert Marley's "AFRICAN HERBSMAN" -- you'll be delightedly surprised at how Bob has given it a twist. |

can anyone explain what Blue Jay Way means, please? Is it a yoga position on LSD?! |

Even though it's clear that "don't be long" means he's impatient or anxious about his friends not coming back for him, the final part always makes me think he's actually saying "don't belong! don't belong" - pretty psych'o'delic! and backwards it might just be a blessing in disguise. |

I wish users would use this forum for detailing song lyrics, and have meaningful discussions around their significance. (as opposed to praising, performance and cymbal crash...) I dispute the lyrics found on all websites because I doubt there are from an authentic source. I post my understanding here for discussion (as..) from studio version I play slowly in HQ: It was an April mornin' when they told us we should go. And, as I turn to you, you smiled at me: How could we say No? Woah, the mountain air, to live the dreams we always had. Woah, the songs to sing when we at last return again. Expecting yonder glance, in years to those who claim they know We roam the streets we’ve seen in years; the devil's in his hole-oh-ole Woah, to sail away to sandy lands, an other days Woah, to trudge the dream I've inside that never've seen, yeah. Into the sun the south, the north: [alas ... of foe] ? The shackles of commitment fell In pieces on the ground Woah, to ride the wind, to tread the air above the din Woah, to laugh aloud, dancing eyes above the crowds, yeah. Seek the man whose pointing hand; the giant step unfolds To guide us from the curving path that churns up into stone And if one bell should ring, a celebration for a king So fast the heart should beat as proud the head would heavy feast, yeah. … Wondering and wandering what place to rest the search for, the mighty arms of madness hold the heavens from the Earth For, the mighty arms of madness hold the heavens from the Earth From the ea—rth! Ea—rth! (2x) And in the rain, in the rain, and the rain, in the rain. (2x) … Ah-ah-ah? Ah-ah-ah? Ah-ah-ah-uh! Ah-ah-ah-uh! (5x) Aaaah! Ohhhh! Ohhhh! (2x) With a-mighty arms of madness hold the heavens from the Earth Ah-ah-ah? Ah-ah-ah? Ah-ah-ah-uh! Ah-ah-ah-uh! (Ahh….) Woo-ooh! Hope someone with authority can answer me and clarify any discrepancies. |

Thanks for posting these lyrics. I wonder if we could discuss the meaning of them more closely: in general but also some expressions "king of auld lang" (syne? or doesn't she say 'gone')? Martha's in the meadow Witham (?) Wilhelm with the widow? (the gunshots on radio/TV and information-overload sounds) |

1. i see 'bad' as meaning 'cool' 2. i hear 'chip' (meaning dude) not chimp @Frailgrasp: why the producer might be called Chimp you can you source, pls. 3. what is the reference to Radio City ? I hear Radio CT (although CB would be more logical with transistor...) |
