Bach Is Dead Lyrics
The Southern Cross at night.
And so they set aside a sock
And tie their laces tight.
That echoes in their heads.
Without a beat they march along
Believing Bach is dead.
I think that the song is about the elitist group of people who think classical music is the only true music and they only listen to classical music because newer genres are just crap to them and since all good composers are dead they only listen to classical when the truth is all musicians are just like the composers they only listen to and in reality Bach as music is not dead
I like the line "Yes, mournful is the melody That echoes in their heads." I think this song is people's unwillingness to accept new and/or avent garde music.
Haha whats the southern cross lol dude the residents live in christmas island WITCH IS IN AUSTRLIA YEAH GO AUSSIE THE BEST AUSTRLIAN BAND EVA
My mistake there american DAWM!!! LOL
"Without a beat they march along Believing Bach is dead"
Insinuating optimism. Meaning that there's still good stuff out there, or Bach still holding a legacy through modern music.
The squeaks in the verses represent the squeaky wheel of a cart.
My best guess on the meaning: True music is dead, killed by the death march of brainless, shallow pop. Of course, I am probably a little biased (just a little!).
"Without a beat" represents pop music I'd imagine...
But what is "The Southern Cross"?
aha its a constellation you can only see in the southern hemisphere
aha its a constellation you can only see in the southern hemisphere
The Southern Cross is a constellation that can only be seen in the Southern Hemisphere.
This song seems to be about how old music should be left in the past and how we should appreciate present music. "Bach is dead" could be referring to old musicians like Bach being outdated.
