Simon and Garfunkel – I Am A Rock Lyrics | 22 years ago |
you guys are exectly correct. He wants to isolate himself from the rest of society. But, he is only fooling himself into thinking he can because every symbol he uses is not permanant. Walls get knocked down. You wake up from sleep. You come out of your mother womb after 9 months. Your memory will always come back. Snow melts. December is only 31 days. He can only shut the world out for so long. |
Led Zeppelin – Stairway to Heaven Lyrics | 22 years ago |
On the subject of the songs meaning. We went over it in english class last year. There is no set meanings. It can mean a lot of things. But the ones i remember are that it is about a woman buying drugs. "buying a stairway". Drugs get you high, just like a stairway gets you higher in the air and heaven is the supposed ultimate height. It is about a woman who is materialistic. "all that glitters is gold" Gold is a symbol of being the best, the most powerful, and beautiful thing in the world. Things that glitter are shiny and pretty. They could be saying that this woman just sees pretty things and thinks they are the best. That she only sees the outside of things and that is what determines its value. I wish i could remember what the whole song meant. |
