| Paul McCartney – Dance Tonight Lyrics

I for one love it. It's great at what it was meant to be; a light, fun pop rock song. I love intellectual thought in songs just as much as the next guy, but that doesn't mean I hate songs just because the lyrics are subpar. This song makes me feel good, and I don't see why others don't feel good listening to it as well. |

Bite Me, if you had any intelligence, you would have known this was a FRIENDLY conflict between Young and Skynyrd. This song was just meant as a joke response to "Southern Man". Young and the members of Skynyrd were friends. |

| Ten Years After – I'd Love to Change the World Lyrics

I think you're all wrong, whoever is saying it is mocking the liberals. I believe this IS a liberal song. It's about how they want to change the world, but it's downright near impossible, so eventually they just decide it is impossible for them and, rather sadly, leave the problem to "you". I believe when they say "you" they mean the next generation. Because all these problems we face are passed down to the next generation. |

| Pink Floyd – Wish You Were Here Lyrics

I think this song is about about how a friend has been tempted to do other things (trade hot ashes for trees, etc), tricking them to think this is better. And the narrator of the song is saying how he wants him to come with him and not do what "they" are telling him, and says how even though both of them have really been getting nowhere "two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl...running over same old ground...same old fears", the narrator would still like to have his friend by his side.
This can apply to Syd, and probably that's what the members of Pink Floyd meant, but you can take this song and really apply to any good friend that has drifted apart from you and how you wish they would just come with you and live life together. |

| Pink Floyd – Free Four Lyrics

The lyrics up there are slightly incorrect. The first four lines are repeated at the end. And I believe this song is poking fun at the idea of death, since the tune is rather happy, yet the lyrics are all about death. This is my favorite song of all time. |

| Pink Floyd – Careful with That Axe, Eugene Lyrics
| 20 years ago
|
This song has two possible meanings, at least in my eyes, One is that when the music starts, the killer is far away and the music getting louder represents him coming towards the victim, then he gets so close that the victim says "Careful With That Axe, Eugene". Then the music goes insane and you hear shouting, basically representing the murder. Then, once the murder is done, the killer walks away, which is represented by the music getting softer.
But then I thought, "How did the victim know the killer's name?" Then I thought that the killer might have been a friend of the victim. So, instead of the music representing the killer walking towards and from the victim, it could possibly represent the killer going insane. The killer could have been chopping wood, or something, and begins to go insane for some reason (maybe the victim is talking shit to him). Then finally, he can't take it anymore, and decides to kill the victim, in which he goes all-out insane. Then, once the murder has been done, he begins to calm down and relax and become his natural self again.
That's what I think. |
