| Supertramp – Take The Long Way Home Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
I know I'm super late on this, but you make a good point. I think you're just about spot-on with the general theme of the song being about life passing by. Although, it might not just be about letting it waste away: "But there are times that you feel you're part of the scenery" I take this line to mean that the person in question realizes that life is going on around him and feels that he's missing out--that he's been taking the long way home and he wants to go and make it big instead of sitting around. In that context, maybe they're trying to say that we "never see what you want to see," as is sung later on, and assume that life isn't going the way it should, rather than just living it. The last verse, I think, can take two meanings, then: "So when the day comes to settle down/who's to blame if you're not around?" Obviously, the "day to settle down" refers to the eventual slowing down and ending of a person's life, and the fact that they're "not around," I, at least, think implies that they've not slowed or settled down at all, as would be expected of an aging person. Again, this can be taken in two contexts: either they're fretting about the time they've wasted (like you mentioned) and are trying to get as much out of life at the last minute as they can, or they just have such a zest for life that they're not done living yet. |

| Bad Company – Bad Company Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| "You have an opinion that's different from my opinion? Jesus, what a retard!" Shut the fuck up and don't bother coming back, simpleton. You're nothing but Internet scum. And yes, it IS possible for a person from one country to write about a different country; I checked. I wrote a poem about Japan and didn't get deported. Crazy, I know. Fuckin' magnets, how do they work. | |
