| Only issue: The Man Who Sold the World is on the album "The Man Who Sold the World". Not Station to Station, although he's on the right track. | |

| Just going to be that guy and tell you that Boston is in Massachusettes (the abbreviation being MA). | |

| Further note- a similar xenophobic attitude is commonly seen in America today as a result of the whole "Mexicans are taking our jobs" belief. Also, Indian call centers are so commonly mocked that someone had to make a terrible show about them. | |
| Pink Floyd – Not Now John Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I don't know where you guys are getting John Lennon out of this. Pretty sure that's the typical "they're the most important band ever" complex (which is frighteningly common in Beatles fans) coming into play. The whole album is about post-WWII Britain and the subsequent economic and social collapse that was brought about as a result of the war. The money was gone and the result was everyone instantly doing whatever they could to support themselves; this reached into the highest levels of society with film companies making shitty movies, hence "as long as the kids go," and to major corporations outsourcing work to Japan, which is where the Japan lines come from. This did little to help the working man, which is what they're talking about earlier in the album with the lyrics "If it wasn't for the Nips [slang for Japanese] being so good at building ships, the yards would still be open on the Clyde [a shipbuilding yard in Scotland]." The mixed languages at the end with the man screaming in the background is obviously satirical of the cliche British love of drinking no matter where they are mixing with the xenophobic attitude that was common in the working class as a result of the outsourced jobs, and the pro-war sounding sentiments are likewise satirical. The song is a hate-letter to capitalism, implying that it did as much damage to Britain and her people as World War II. This is all much bigger than Lennon. | |
| Coheed and Cambria – Gravity's Union Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
I think this may be the masterpiece of Descension. It ties together such a great combination of different riffs; it really hearkens back to their GA:1 days, but in such a different way that it's impossible to not see the progression in tone and the additions of new movements on their guitar playing. I think the coolest part has to be Has he forgotten his place Bait the hook and let it sink No cause for alarm Enter the master, I am Dr. Straight Scalpel keep that lung in place Nurse, IV needs refilling Now watch the brain Responding quite normal, this life I can save Every man has a point, where he breaks or conjoins Among pressure that floods to complicate Matters close to the heart will define who we are Do we love. Do we hate. We are only the meat. This is so classic, core Coheed that I want to throw out Second Stage and put this in its place as the benchmark for what Coheed is. The simple character and scene with Dr. Straight is powerful and just badass, and the part about how "we are only the meat" seems to me to be an analysis of the Doctor's point of view, namely that Sirius and Meri are only meat, just patients, and he has decided to focus on Sirius because he is the viable life to save. I love the lines about how "Every man has a point where he breaks or conjoins, among pressure that floods to complicate" just because it so perfectly, beautifully articulates something I've been dealing with for a while. Not good, not great, but nearly perfect writing on this song. If this is their new standard I think we'll be very happy with the future of Coheed. One among the fucking fence, son. |

| Coheed and Cambria – A Favor House Atlantic Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I know it's tempting to say that the lyrics to Coheed songs are straight-up easy to interpret, but there is supposed to a layer of personal meaning behind them. Don't assume that the songs are only about the concept, there's subtext to discuss as well. Just wanted to say because people only seem to be talking about straight story interpretation, and some people are treating it like that's the only aspect worth analyzing. | |
| Coheed and Cambria – In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I agree with that partially, but the first half of that part where it says "For you, I'd kill anything, just to make you happy, hear you tell me that you're proud of me" is from Sizer's point of view, it's kind of a dialogue between the two. | |
| Coheed and Cambria – The Willing Well I: Fuel for the Feeding End Lyrics | 15 years ago |
