@[MetaLuna:32473] Anybody notice all the "Mister City Policeman sitting pretty little policemen in a row" telling us how we must interpret the meaning of the song—that it's just a joke—and who knows" Maybe it is. But their ain't nothin' funny about penguins and people kickin' Edgar Allan Poe.. And it really is good pity.... And I am the egg man (now good sir, what are you?) They are the egg men (a poor man, made to tame fortune's blows) I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob (good pity) The artist must be willing relinquish some control over the intended meaning to some extent once they unleash their magnificence upon the world, how can anybody understand something by someone else perfectly? |

| Led Zeppelin – Stairway to Heaven Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| So funny. Just the other day I said about a person with a hyphenated last name of Gold. I said to her, "Not all that glitters is gold." So ladies & gents, don't confuse this song with a ladder, this has to do with buying a stairway to heaven by means of obtaining material possessions and wealth. In the end you can't take the merchandise and the friends that it buys, so she's a fool. Take the ladder, not the stairway — or go your own fuckin' way. But learn to read between the lies asshole. | |
| Nine Inch Nails – Happiness in Slavery Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
"Copy of A" — To me the song quite simply says we are all in fact just slaves living under the guise of freedom and the pursuit of happiness.The majority of people either cannot understand the fact, or if they do, believe it's futile and sinful to upset the apple cart — by reaching some level of financial and social security, all they can do is attempt to find "happiness in slavery". The mind blinds them into believing it isn't really slavery, it's just the way things work. "He screams he's going to have the system to fall". Well, I don't know exactly understand this. An asteroid can change the system, but perhaps multiple systems exist in plain sight ("Capy of A"). I can understand how people can see the individual in the song who's claiming to have his own identity is no different than those in the majority. History has shown to treat these people poorly. That being said, beating these individuals into submission is an example of the true nature of the system, slavery in this context is you must be and think as everyone else, or have a ton of money. The voice is the system reassuring us that security is key, no person can change the system, the slave is upset when someone comes along and challenges their world view ("gotta make it go away, gotta make it disappear"). Could be the individual isn't the slave, but in fact the majority. Maybe if we'd take the time to hear out individuals maligned in the past (those that dare speak against the manufactured order), then perhaps you no longer must, "Stick your hands through the cage of this endless routine". To me a slave chained against the wall is one who's lost all hope of a better way, a better system. The whole thing designed to keep us embroiled in despair, debt and superficiality. Recently, I heard a lyrics "you won't find any answers here", that's probably true — but there's much more to the world than a song or two. |
