| Lady GaGa – Jewels N' Drugs (feat. T.I., Too $hort, Twista) Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| Some parts are just crazy in this song and i have no fucking idea of what they mean, but in general i can see she was trying to speak about her relationship with her fans, the little monsters. It may seem weird sometimes that they are giving her money for shitty things like she says at the begginning of her verse. Then, she just speak about the fans: "won't die at the hands of another, i'm your mother, sister, father and brother", which it means that they just can't runaway of this big love gaga give to them, it's like if they're a big crazy family then nothing and nobody can destroy. And, just because they doubt it of her love, she's kinda "shut up and sit down to listen that i don't want your money, i want your love", proving once again that she's not doing it for the money, she's doing for the love that the fans give her every night, and that's all it matters. | |
| Vampire Weekend – Hudson Lyrics | 9 years ago |

For me, it just seems that he is trying to talk about how war can change cities and the way of living of everyone who lives over there, bringing a wave of empty hope and disaster to that place and to the people that lives over there. When he says "Hudson died in Hudson bay and the water took its victim's name. Now rivers rise toward Riverside to change their names again" it's like if the water was just a way of remembering tragedies and death and that the name that they put because someone died there is just so empty, like "so everytime someone dies here, we gonna change rivers' names? why do we have to wait for death to see that this is ridiculous?" When he talks about the "stranger guy" who told that "all the apartments are pre-war", the strange guy is God, warning us (humanity) that every single place is about to live a war and we just laugh. We just laugh and want some more reasons to believe in God, but, instead, he just stays with us until the end. And that's another way that they come to put some reflection over religion on the album: it is hypocritical to go for religion only because you want salvation, but is a fact that religion will bring you a salvation, even if that is just psychological, but it will save you somehow. And in the chorus he explains all the wars that he talked about on the last verse (World War 2, Independence War) when he talks about the "never-ending visions" that made every human feel like objects of victory, passing through the hands of the winners of every war that happens to establish power. We are just prizes of consecutive wars. And when the time of the next power comes, just kill me and bury me in my old flag since now you are a different power, controlling humans differently than how they used to control before. This is confirmed when he comes with the next verse, talking about the crimes "that won this pleasant land". Like the movement of the tide, coming and going, the people change their names (different cultures dominating a same space means different names on the same city). And while everything is happenning, some men just don't care, some men rush to find answer in God and some men (the soldiers of the loser side of the war) will come back just to see their houses destroyed, their home is now a ruin and everything was pointless. Through it all, after a war for a territory, the ones who have the power will keep on being powerfull and the rest of the humanity will be drowned in despair and that's the only thing that war will bring at the end: sadness and death. ps: i'm brazilian, so forgive me if there are some gramatical mistakes over there. |
