| David Bowie – Up the Hill Backwards Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
The vacuum created by the arrival of freedom And the possibilities it seems to offer It's got nothing to do with you, if one can grasp it It's got nothing to do with you, if one can grasp it BOWIE TALKING ABOUT THE MODERN SOCIETY, AND HOW IT'S ALL FREEDOM, LIBERAL, CHOICES, BUT THEY ARE NOT REAL. IT ALL HAS TO DO WITH THE REALITY OF THE PEOPLE WHO CREATED THIS SOCIETY AND FREEDOM, AND THOSE IN POWER. BOWIE IS CONTEMPLATING SOCIETY, THE SYSTEM, AND HE KNOWS THAT IS ALL CORRUPTED, AND A LIE, HE IS SPEAKING TO US, SAYING TO US THAT ALL THIS, MEDIA, AND MODERN SOCIETY, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WIHT US, WHETER WE KNOW IT OT NOT. A series of shocks - sneakers fall apart Earth keeps on rolling - witnesses falling It's got nothing to do with you, if one can grasp it It's got nothing to do with you, if one can grasp it SHOCKS REPRESENTING WARS, AND BATTLE OF POWER, SNEAKERS FALL APART, I THINK HE ES REFERING TO THE KILLING OF CHILDREN BY THESE PEOPLE. AND THE WORLD KEEPS GOING, NOBODY IS DOING ANYTHING, AND WHO DOES OR TRIES, FAILS...OR FALL, OR THEY MAKE IT DISSAPEAR.P. Yeah, yeah, yeah - up the hill backwards It'll be alright, ooh THE UP THE HILL BACKWARDS I'M NOT SURE. IT'S ONE OF THE TWO. IT'S A POSSITIVE MESSAGE FROM BOWIE, SAYING THAT WE CAN RISE, BUT ALSO BY LEARNING FROM THE PAST (THING THAT WE DO NOT DO), WHICH IS HIDDEN BY THE MEDIA AND MODERN WORLD. OR IT COULD BE A MOCKERY FROM BOWIE, PORTRAYING THE STUPID SOCIETY THINKING THEY ARE GOING UP, BUT THEY ARE BACKWARDS, NOT SEEING ANYTHING, AND ABOUT TO FALL.... AND THEY THINK THAT THINGS JUST WILL BE ALL RIGHT. While we sleep they go to work We're legally crippled it's the death of love It's got nothing to do with you, if one can grasp it It's got nothing to do with you, if one can grasp it WHILE WE ARE ASLEEP, CONFUSED, BEING LIED TO, WHILE WE ARE SLEEPING, THEY, THE PEOPLE IN POWER, DO THEIR DIRTY WORK. AND THEY ARE BECOMING EVERYDAY MORE AND MORE POWERFULL, AND EVEN MORE PROTECTED, BY ALL. IT'S THE DEATH OF LOVE. More idols then realities, ooh I'm OK, you're so-so, ooh JUST LOOK AT YOUR WORLD, PEOPLE DON'T THINK REALLY...... BOWIE SAYS IT BETTER.... MORE IDOLS THAN REALITIES, WHY ARE THERE SO MANY IDOLS, PROPAGANDA, ETC, AND WHY ARE THERE SO MANY DIFFERENT, REALITIES, CONSPIRACYS, ETC? SHOULDN'T WE HAVE ONE REALITY? AND BE WELL INFORMED, INSTED OF DISTRACTED? OKEY. BOWIE IS OKEY, HE KNOWS. THE REST OF THE WORLD, INCLUDING HIS FANS, I DON''T KNOW, BUT I HOPE THEY DO. Yeah, yeah, yeah - up the hill backwards It'll be alright ooh what do you guys think of this interpretation? |

Wow!... nice information, and decomposition(?) of the song by @[harvey1021:22268]. I'll re-read that later, and overall I think you are right. Now, I will explain the meaning of the song part by part, at least what I think of.... "You know who I am," he said The speaker was an angel He coughed and shook his crumpled wings Closed his eyes and moved his lips "It's time we should be going" A DEMON APPEARS TO HIM, TO CLAIM HIS SOUL. HE HAD MADE A PACT WITH THE DEVIL LONG AGO AND IT WAS TIME. (Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so) (THIS IS THE DEVIL WAITING FOR BOWIE'S SOUL) CHANTS THE DEMON, HE HAS WAITED ALL "BOWIE"'S LIFE TO CLAIM HIS SOUL. Look back in anger, driven by the night Till you come BOWIE REGRETS SELLING HIS SOUL TO THE DEVIL, BUT IT HAS GIVEN HIM FAME AND FORTUNE, DRIVING BY THE NIGHT UNTIL HE DIES, UNTIL IT'S TIME.... (Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so) Look back in anger, see it in my eyes Till you come No one seemed to hear him So he leafed through a magazine And, yawning, rubbed the sleep away Very sane he seemed to me THIS PART I'M NOT SO SURE. BUT I THINK IT COULD BE BOWIE ACCEPTING THE DEVIL AND HIS FATE, HE IS SPEAKING ABOUT THE DEMON HE HAS, THAT NOBODY SEE IT EXEPT HIM (COZ OF THE PACT WITH THE DEVIL AND ALL), AND THAT NOW, HE LOOKS SANE TO HIM, HE "WORSHIPS" OR ACCEPT THE DEVIL NOW, HE EVEN DESCRIBES HIM AS A REGULAR AND SANE PERSON, THE DEVIL, LOOKING A MAGAZINE, BORING, THERE WITH HIM... ANOTHER INTERPRETATION, COULD BE THAT THIS PART IS SOME KIND OF AN OUTSIDER OR 3RD PARTY'S VIEW, OR SOMEONE WHO DIDNT KNOW ABOUT THIS STUFF IN THE PRESENT. BOWIE IS DEAD, AND YOU DIDN'T SEE THE MESSAGES IN THE SONGS, YOU DIDN'T HEAR HIM, SO BOWIE CARRIED ON, AND HE SEEMED SANE TO YOU. THIS VERSE CONFUSES ME THE MOST, SO I DON'T KNOW, BUT I THINK IT COULD BE ONE OF THE BOTH OR A MIX OF THOSE THINGS. (Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so) Look back in anger, driven by the night Till you come (Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so) Look back in anger, feel it in my voice Till you come (Waiting so long, ahhh...) (Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so) (repeat ad inf.) AND THATS IT. I'm sorry if the caps bother. Tell me what you think. |

The only thing I don't get or understand is the last part. Anyone? What does it mean? We are the church we are good ????we've got your Millions God know we should...???? who got what o sdgfsd- we got the people and we should fight? we stole your millons and should kill you? is that a common expression? Anyways, thats the only part of the song that confuses me. |

| @[JesSKA:21622]* it's being chanted: "no deuce" or "no duce", "No God" in latin, or hebrew, or I don't remember exactly, but thats it. No god in an ancient language. | |
