| Blur – Under the Westway Lyrics | 7 years ago |
| A classic piece knitting together the fabric of society today. He has time to ponder, it bothers him, he sees hope 'paradise not lost it's in you', but ultimately the stronger tone is society is disconnected and they, us, the Illuminati, whoever have hit it bulls eye, and it will get so bad we will be under one drum beat, to uncertain westway which is sunset, or the unknown. Interesting ending to his apology to perhaps his regular followers, but he is going to sing it out loud and proud, hallelujah! It surprised me in a pleasant way, he seems unsure, either on faith aspect or will listeners even care to hear his plea of faith and man's demise. | |

Most interpretations are far off i think. Consider the authors and the band, they are voyeurs into modern society and this is another great example of seeing 'us' as people aiming for the wrong things in life, being misdirected and shallow. I always enjoy Julians duality of thought and emotion in his writing, one hand he is in control the next he needs to be shown how to 'be'. Now this doesnt necessarily mean its his view or his retrospect it could be some joe he met, or it doesnt take much to imagine that is how we all are... we need to: "Find a job, find a friend Find a home, find a dog Settle down, out of town Find a dream, shut it down' By shutting down i think he means end of your journey, life. So what is it all for, these roles we play. I see this song also has suicidal gestures, 'a million reasons to leave' suggests that whilst someone or something is encouraging to keep on going, there are a lot of reasons to leave this place. As well is reading to much into it, this song could be about a relationship that is struggling to find commitment, the balance and path is in question, should he want all those things common people desire, it seems pointless, he needs another opinion but really he's on the fence.. amazing band, still producing amazing music |
