| Pedro the Lion – Priests and Paramedics Lyrics
| 22 years ago
|
the song is about life without God and how even the priest doesn't understand his faith so they have every right to be depressed and "give up" with out The love of Jesus in thier lives.
It also is a great conclusion to the story of the album. |

| Pedro the Lion – Rapture Lyrics
| 22 years ago
|
i read an interview on decapolis.com and he talks about rapture. it is about how deprived the character is of god and how he thinks that cheating on his wife is as good as it gets and it is his rapture. it makes a point about how starved of god most people are.
by the way this is not a pesonal story david almost always writes in fictional characetrs. |

| Simon and Garfunkel – The Sound of Silence Lyrics
| 22 years ago

The song sound of silence is a lyric that uses imagery and symbolism very heavily. The story of it is that the author has a dream about ten thousand people bowing to a god they made of neon light. The god represents the fake and shallow culture they are building on pop stars and the dollar bill. The media “talks without speaking” and the people “hear without listening” there is a cancer of silence which represents a widespred lack of meaning, in music namely. This is an extreemly well written poem and a good view on what is happening to the media. The so called artists are putting less and less art in their work.Their is mass prostitution of art happening in our culture and we all sit happily starring at the neon light and ignore the real art. I heard a good a good quote the other day i have eno idea who said it but I’ll close with it. “For the culture that tolerates shottyness in philosophy because it is an exalted activity and ignores excellence in plumbing because it is a humble activity. This is their fate. Neither their pipes nor it’s theories will hold water.” |
