| Talking Heads – Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On) Lyrics | 4 years ago |
|
The words "under punches" are a play on the catholic prayer line "under pontious" (David Bryne has discussed his catholic upbringing in interviews). There is a deep religious aspect to this song. Government's and religion in America are intrinsically tied through the dollar and concepts of morality and tradition (i'm a government man) Pontious Pilate was the government official in charge of Jesus's execution. Hes specifically mentioned in the catholic religion. "look at these hands" refers to the stigmata and the wounds that Jesus suffered. He references the cryptic nature of the lyrics with the line "don't even mention it" Mentioning wanting to breath and being too thin as the beat goes on (heart beat going on as Jesus is struggling to breath, dying on the cross) |

| Talking Heads – Wild Wild Life Lyrics | 4 years ago |
| The song is about idolatry and ego and the false ideas about pop culture (yes that includes cocaine which was popular when this song was contemporary). Its about the illusion of having a wild life when in actuality we are all just imitating people like performers on a stage. If you watch the movie True Stories you will see that this song is performed by various people up on a stage who are impersonating celebrities. | |
