| Matthew Good Band – Sort of a Protest Song Lyrics
| 11 years ago

I agree with the interpretation that it is Matt realizing that the world is changing and there isnt anything that he can do about it. He is tired of fighting it and relinquishes in favor of just not caring anymore. The "robot heart for the robot boy who dreamed he was a lion" line in particular hits me hard every time. We all think of ourselves as rebellious and edgy and willing to stand up to the way things work for a better world. We have this fire in our teens for doing it all differently and not just accepting it all like we think our parents have. But as life wears on you over the years, you realize you weren't the lion you thought you were, you begin to realize that you are a robot like everyone else. And when you have a wife and a few kids, a mortgage, a career, and have put many of your dreams away, you find that your only choice is just to accept what you have and where you are and enjoy what you can in the moment (tonight, I'm gonna go out and have me some fun) and just not fight it anymore |

I agree that this is definitely Peter coming to terms with his aging and getting older. He is obviously looking forward into the clouds wondering where you go after. I love that rather than the usual image of ascending into the clouds, that he is actually up above them watching it all drop. There is also a reference to sperm here too. Thousands of sperm leaving the fuselage not knowing where they are going or what will happen, thousands of deaths leading to life. And then the image of the city lights going out one by one. Beautiful song and deep personal lyrics. He is a deep writer and performer. I am sure there is no coincidence that his daughter sings this with him. |

I believe that this song was written for someone below a third grade reading level. Seriously why is it on this site? She writes like a middle school wannabe poet. |

I think this song is about the current struggles for power in the middle east. I mean its so smart how she ironically talks about gold and acts like she wants to be taken seriously as an artist while looking like a dumpster fire. She really is a genius! Plus she knows that only a select few listeners will even get her reference to a highway between L.A. and Tokyo and realize that there isn't one, how ironic and hip. She might be too heady for some of you, but I got out my thesaurus and loved her album! |
