| Blind Guardian – Wait For An Answer Lyrics | 1 year ago |

Blind Guardian's own website hints that this is indeed about the Nazi propaganda machine; but the song is fundamentally from the perspective of two victims of that evil mechanism. BG uses the same singer (Halsi) for most characters, which can get confusing as to "who" is saying what. In this song there are three characters: the hare and the fox, who are both targets of the third character, the mad crow (an allegory for a very specific asshole who had black hair, and who was proud, hateful and unhinged). The hare is terrified by the rise of the mad crow and his followers. The fox says the hare is not wrong, things really are going to shit. The crow says [literal nazi propaganda talking points]. The POV shifts back to the fox, who is skeptical that there's any hope, and the hare who says: t's you who has said there's no tomorrow [the analytically minded fox has no hope left] I don't know but who I am [the hare will survive! that's what he do] I wouldn't sit back any longer [time to run and hide, man, we can't pretend any more] It's surely built in sadness [there will absolutely be worse times to come] But the sadness surely will go by [they won't last forever] So we will all know the answer [survive however you can, my friend] The answer's within, it's in your mind [don't let me tell you, you know what you need to do] |
