| Hole – Boys On The Radio Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
Hole/Love doesn't make very complicated or abstract songs. This is quite obviously about a woman's one-sided relationship with a rockstar. She'll take any abuse, acting as his safety net, ruining her own life in the process. She'll always be there worshiping him, waiting for him to get serious about her, including after he has flings with other women, and his stardom has faded away. Courtney Love has had relationships with quite a few rockstars, some current and others varying degrees of washed-up. "Endless Summer Nights" is a song by Richard Marx about a summer relationship that ends in the fall. Go read the lyrics with this in-mind and it all makes sense and lines-up nicely. I don't know why I visit this site, it is flooded with so much obvious nonsense with no way to easily see the creme of the comments. |

| Bette Midler – Oh Industry Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
The music is obviously evocative of a major industrial plant, very probably a steelworks, as evidenced by some of the lyrics and the fire in the stage play's background. The lyrics are from the POV of the industrialist (seemingly a 1890s robber baron) who created the plant, calling it his "shrine", "manor", and "wife". It seems he's likely at the end of his life and looking back on his legacy, mostly with regret for causing pollution, pain, hunger, and his lack of faith, charity, etc. It could be based on Andrew Carnegie, who built a steel empire, then sold it off and spent the rest of his life on philanthropy. Or could also be Henry Clay Frick, chairman of Carnegie steel and the "most hated man in America" due to his breaking the strikes of steel workers. Charles Schwab is another candidate, involved in the WWI effort, accused of profiteering, later squandered his huge fortune, and died impoverished. |
