| Riot – Outlaw Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
The lyrics are pretty self-explanatory: a man with nothing to lose robs a bank and goes on the run with Lady Luck at his side. However his luck may run out soon as the law (or a gang of bounty hunters) is on his trail. I've been on a binge of spaghetti westerns and metal and have just discovered Riot. Fire Down Under is a killer album from start to finish. |

| Blue Öyster Cult – Dancin' In The Ruins Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
The apocalyptic imagery in the lyrics is a metaphor for getting older. Take into account that the band members were approaching their 40s by 1985 when this album dropped. "It doesn't matter if we turn to dust; Turn and turn and turn we must! I guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight! Dancin' in the ruins!" It's a bummer that we're experiencing the worst side of aging but let's have fun all the same. All in all, it's a very optimistic song about getting closer to the grave. |
