Frank Zappa – Father O'Blivion Lyrics 12 years ago

Steely Dan – Razor Boy Lyrics 12 years ago
Can anyone else vision the final scene in the Movie "Scarface" when Tony's sister says her final words before being killed ? While Tony sits behind a mountain of cocaine awaiting the moment he will be killed.

eerily enough this tune was released almost exactly 10 years before the movie, yet describes that scene almost prophetically.

Really read deep in between those lines - paired with the Latin vibes its almost scary.

Steely Dan – Rose Darling Lyrics 12 years ago
On second note....Imagine a similar Catholic school setting.
All girls. Except the narrator is a Lesbian. And what she's found is a sex toy ?
Gender was never mentioned at all in favor of the narrator.
As far fetched as these explanations are, nothing and i mean NOTHING can be put past The Dan.

Steely Dan – Rose Darling Lyrics 12 years ago
These lyrics bring to mind a catholic school summer camp setting.

"Snake Mary" - possibly being this wicked old hag of a nun spoken of in the eyes of....yes im going to say it.. elementary school kids!

When I read this, I picture a young boy discovering his erect penis, and in a lustful panic, is looking to coax Rose darling into attempting sex with him.

The reason I chose young children, is because in many cases Catholic school ideologies tend to form repressed sexual desires in small children.
And espescially with lines like. . .

Make my wildest dreams come true - (every virgin boy has had those)

You wont feel it till it grows - (basically assuring Rose that she will feel this newly discoverd boner for herself.)


With only YOU and what I FOUND - (sounds like the youngin knows where that thing belongs.)

The flash I feel - (Those chills of lust that tingle your boing twink up and down.)

And after all, does not a rose look like a womens inner Libia ?

Although I could be wrong...

Steely Dan – Josie Lyrics 12 years ago
Its insane how in nearly all SD songs the key words of choice imply multiple meanings on an almost triple entendre scale !
Thats why im not to hasty to give an interpretation, because I lose myself midway...If there is one thing I can say, these guys have certainly built a brilliantly bizzare mystique about themselves !

Steely Dan – Your Gold Teeth II Lyrics 12 years ago
I wasnt exactly stating I knew what the meaning of the song was. I was simply exploring the many possibilities based on my own personal feeling while listening. You sound as if you KNOW what the song is about. If you do...thats one thing, but if you dont, then are you really bursting my bubble ? If you know anything about Steely Dan, youde know that they stylize their music for a certain song and juxtapoze it against the lyrics to throw the listener off. Sure its Jazz heavy..but that doesnt neccesarily mean that the theme cant be western. Im just saying.

Steely Dan – Your Gold Teeth II Lyrics 13 years ago
I get a very western ...Cowboy in saloon Gambling feeling when i listen to this. Its almost Subtly Confrontational. As if the Chorus was signifying a Challenge to a duel, or gun fight. I ALSO get A biker gang feeling as well.'' speak with their wings '' , A gangs emblem usually has wings...which pretty much speaks for their reputation....IDK...then again I also get a ''gangs of newyork'' feeling as well. I cant call it....But i damn sure love when my mind drifts whilst zoning to that denny dias solo !

Steely Dan – Reelin' In The Years Lyrics 14 years ago
Classic Rock At its best...The moment I heard these lyrics ..it hit home for me !
Heartbreak....And immature women...Pretty much sums up the average Male Teenagers experience with " Love " ! or Visa Versa !

Steely Dan – The Caves of Altamira Lyrics 14 years ago
In My opinion This Is Describing a childs mind Realizing and Distinguishing Similarities between Ancient....and modern man.

He hid in a cave pretty much for adventure, And saw the amazing World of a time Long before our own. Seeing the "ancient hand" brought to life the pastimes of the ancient world to his own current times.

The following lines show him realizing that Man has and always will have inner yearings for advancement." NOW and EVER bound to labor on th SEA and in the SKY ...Every Man and Beast appeared...a friend as real as I "
We as people of this modern world Tend to forget that Human nature has never changed. We were the same as we were Thousands,and thousands of years ago !

This child is clearly coming to that realization. The Last parts of the Song Show an almost disappointed Child..Seeing life for what it is. " This Sad design " Shows his disappointment during him seeing that History will forget about you.." A Wolly man without a Face...and A Beast Without a name " ..." Nothing here but HISTORY "... lost and forgotten. This child is realizing the Sadness of life and time in association with leaving your mark in history...some people will never be remembered.

It is obvious that the child is exiting the DARK cave He needed a Candle for...and "Steps into the Sun ". Not to mention the Sudden Change in demeanor From when he entered the cave rather excited....to leaving in a state of ...well Sadness.

Then again..i also feel the Childs inner imagination is at work while on the other side of a garden that may have wooded areas, and a small cave...??? LOL just a suggestion...Could Be Both !

Steely Dan – Fire In The Hole Lyrics 14 years ago
I Honestly feel as if the narrator of this song is in the process of being detained by police." i decline to walk the line " ...has a slight similarity to the " Yellow stripe" Once spoken about. Think about it...When your caught durnk driving..You are usually asked to Walk that yellow line in the street. Yet our narrator doesnt want to do so...Because he knows it will show his drunkeness. " a Womens voice reminds me to serve and not to speak" may have been a female police officer maybe ? he also speaks of WORKING around his yellow stripe. maybe an indication to how intoxicated he may be during his struggle to walk straight! He knows he will be taken to jail.." My life is boiling over...its happend Once before" " I Wish someone would open up the door " Anyone who's been in the back of a police car knows That feeling of finality ! LOL " theres nothing left to burn" Drug Bust ? I dont know...i normally hate when people assume drug references in Dan songs...but then again...Its Quite Possible knowing these Guys....But..that about sums what i got from it in a nutshell. Feel free to add...!!!!!
