| Bell X1 – Motorcades Lyrics
| 10 years ago
|
Just guessing, but it seems like a self-exploration of what moves one emotionally and how we all got this way, especially when we preoccupy ourselves with so many mundane pursuits. My other thought was that they like to do at least one tune per record that commemorates some milestone, e.g. "Amelia" on the 50 year anniv of her disappearance & "Motorcades" on the 50 year anniv of the JFK assassination. In this latter case they built a song around it capturing all the different reactions to the event and our ability to compartmentize emotions.

This one has me thoroughly stumped. I wonder, however, if its a man's realization that there's nothing to be gained by having a victim mentality, as seductive as that might be. |

| Steely Dan – Dr Wu Lyrics
| 10 years ago
|
The song represents an epiphany of the singer that everyone suffers some sort of adfictive tendencies. Specifically, the realization that the person who helped him with his addiction, Dr Wu, has his own addictions; perhaps acquiring money or success or a workaholic. In any event Dr Wu has his own "Katy." And so Donald ends struggling with this dichotomy. Just sayin.
