| Manic Street Preachers – 1985 Lyrics | 4 years ago |
| it’s about the beginning of the end of civilised society… Orwell 1984… miners strike… getting put down by the establishment… brief highlights like T&D are not nearly enough to create any sense of hope for the bleak future | |
| Manic Street Preachers – Archives of Pain Lyrics | 4 years ago |
| @[jdb:38646] actually Bradfield explained that despite this song being extreme right wing and them thinking they were left wing… they realised this after writing it but left it in to show just how confused they and everyone were. He said another band might bin the song on this realisation but that would be whitewashing and represent untruth to comply with their advertised beliefs. They felt it was important to show the dichotomy they were unwittingly guilty of. | |

| Stone Sour – Absolute Zero Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
he feels that he cannot relate to anyone in the world with all of mans various reasons for letting him down. he feels he knows better how to exist, than all the worthless people, without being anything particularly special himself. he has become disillusioned with the abject retardedness of humanity in general, he knows they are too dumb to understand basic obvious concepts grounded in reality so he is not going to bother wasting his time on them. he is closer to atheist than religious, he knows that a god who doesn't react doesn't exist. he is not suicidal, as indicated by the seconds fighting the second hand. He would give a lifetime for one more day not passing fleetingly fast without any moral substance or worth to it. any accompanying video indication of a choice to end his life just means he has thought about how much easier it would be to just leave this shitheap of low intelligence than having to bear it. he is not a devil, he doesn't go around messing people around and doing selfish nonsensical atrocities but he is not willing to swim against the current of bullshit and act like a prophet for the truth because he knows that he alone would be futile and he hasn't got any significant weight behind him to effect change for the better. in summary, he is saying that nearly all of the world is populated by idiots who ultimately make life difficult when it wouldn't otherwise be that way with just a few brain cells kicking around and a lot less selfish enactment with or without the ridiculous beliefs in various gods that only provide additional contempt for each persons fellow man. he would prefer to see the glory of the world as the lone survivor in a dystopian age |
