| @[mopo976:38129] Actually watch Motorhead perform it and Lemmy sing it and you'll understand what it's about, it's spirit and that Lemmy meant it. But then if you had the sense to do that, you probably wouldn't have posted such a stupid comment. | |

| @[boneyard23:38128] Lemmy was anything but an antisocial loner mate, he always surrounded himself by large groups of the people he liked. He just chose his company. | |

| @[AnarchistUK:38127] Well said and infinite respect to Lemmy because stating that you'll "only be easy when I'm killed by death" when you're high on life in your early 30s and actually living true to that until the end of your life at 70 is something not many can achieve! Authenticity and integrity at it's finest! | |

Okay so it seems like there can be multiple meanings here, but I think primarily it's like he's angry with a partner/lover who's cheated on him. The line's that make me somewhat doubt this or think there may be an alternate meaning are, "And now we are the last" due to which I can interpret that paragraph as anger towards changing times, i.e. the music scene and Rock n' Roll shows aren't the same anymore. "So now we are the lost, And now we are the last, Living in a nightmare, Broken dreams, love turned mean, Living in the past." Seems to suggest they're amongst the last of the old-school truly hardcore, authentic bands around, but it could also as easily fit in with the cheating lover description. Then there's the lines: "I will never understand, How we came to this sad place, Just to look at your sad face, Castles made of sand." So is he expressing surprise that his cheating partners lover would "come to this sad place" to indulge with her? Why's that? Why's it a sad place to come to? I don't get this bit. But "speak the truth and shame the devil" seems to back this up as he's asking her to reveal the name of her lover who she cheated with on him. What do you think? |
