| Tom Waits – Soldier's Things Lyrics
| 3 years ago
|
|
In my opinion is about the the meaninglessness of a soldier\'s life, the meaninglessness of the armys, the meaninglessness of war... Is about someone who wanted to be a hero, but, at the end, his things - his soldier\'s things - are in a yard sale. |

I interpret this song as a reference to a nuclear conflict. As if it were the day after a nuclear catastrophe and someone asked “Oh my god! What have I done this time\'” The title of the song “The New Stone Age” seems to corroborate this interpretation, because after World War III we would witness the end of civilization, as we know it, and we would all return to the Stone Age.\nIt was the end of 1981, the cold war was at its height, there was a sense of danger in the air and everyone feared the worst: that the two world blocs would go to war, which with the sophisticated nuclear weapons that were known to exist would lead us everyone to a new Stone Age. |
