| David Bowie – Heat Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| This song is about Mishima's "Spring Snow" novel and is written from the perspective of the main character Kiyoaki. He does not sing "mission is dark," he sings "Mishima's Dog." That's the direct reference to a scene in "Spring Snow". He also doesn't sing "love and war" but "love and whores." Kiyoaki's rich, royal father did not believe in love and actually one point in the novel, takes Kiyoaki to a brothel from which Kiyoaki runs away. The whole novel is about Kiyoaki's relationship with his lover Satoko and him ending up torturing both her and himself because of his contradictions inside. If you read the novel, the song will open up its secrets very easily. Still, all of this probably relates to Bowie himself on a personal, but I don't know in which way, of course. | |
