| Macklemore – Otherside Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| Tis song is about the cough syrup epidemic, and more importantly the outbreak of it. This song simply preaches the effects that high profiled rappers have on their followers and the way that aspiring musicians can be so influenced by the messages of their idols. Macklemore preaches the fact that those who sing about drugs and alcohol are not necessarily singing from experience and despite the popularity of cough syrup within this demographic " It's not condusive to being creative". Macklemore sings fro an unglamorized perspective and attempts to nulify the effects of previous rappers by emphasising the point that cough syrup is deadly, and despite how it is portrayed, should not be condoned (And trust me it's not dope to be 25 and move back to your parent's basement) Macklemore also emphasises the point that we will always be tempted by negative influences, despite how much we resent them when young. Terrific song. | |
| The Killers – Runaways Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Just thinking, not sure about anyone elses oppinions, but this is essentially two people who have met, full of ambitions wanting to escape from the world together. This works for a period of time until the reality of their situation kicks in. After a while, everything becoes to much for them "I have the tendency to slip when the nights get wild". While the man maintains loyalty, the woman dislikes the this reality and is looking to runaway from this situation "somewhere good". "I knew that when I met you, I would never let you go" maintains the fact that he's still commited to her. The womans fighting the prospects of something better over the horizon, but the man is simply looking towards tomorrow with optism, and taking a chance on their relationship. While reflecting on the relationship, while he still knows his wife, he no longer sees the same person that envisioned this perfect world, "we used to stare at the stars and confess our dreams..." anyways, thats my interpretation, not sure if it's right but.. Best song on battler born hands down. |
