| As Tall as Lions – Stab City Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
This has been one of my favorite songs for years, out of more then 5,000 songs in my Itunes it's definitely in my top 20. Often with songs like this I don't give too much thought as to what they are about and I don't really care, I like the lyrics line by line and I love the sound and thats all that matters. But I was just watching 'Batman the Dark Knight Rises' last night for like the 3rd time and I noticed how similar the dialogue was to some lyrics from this song. Consider the lines from the song: (I capitalize the words that are connected) and every time we're passing by you FEEL the HEAT of 80,000 burning SOULS asleep Well, in the Batman film, there is bomb set to destroy the entire CITY of Gotham and a few minutes before it goes off the woman who set it all up says: 'Don't kill him. I want him to FEEL the HEAT. FEEL the fire of twelve million SOULS you failed.' I just thought those lines were so similar they must be linked, I know the film came out years after the song and obviously the film isn't based after the song so I'm guessing if they are connected the song is based of a Batman comic or something. Another reason they could be connected is because the song is all about a City and the Batman films are all about Gotham City, A City filled with crime for most the duration of the 3 films, a City 'where every single you breathe you take could be your last'. And the line 'And even when you find the love it's fake' could relate to the scene in the Dark Knight Rises where Bruce sleeps with Miranda who later turns out the be to one who set up the bomb and literally STABS him in the stomach - STAB city. This whole song seems like it could be from the point of view of Batman in the moment after he gets stabbed by Miranda. I think the lines: and everything I want to touch would break In some strange way it's like you're never there You just float by crawling in the air could be about Rachel. Is there anyone else who when they heard that dialogue in the third Batman film thought this song could be based on it? |
