Mozart did have a pretty loony personality, but his music? Incredible. Is Mozart crazy? or God? "Composer but never composed" ---> obviously Mozart, he was always child like, never tried to act "proper." "Symphonies for the overdosed" ---> He wrote symphonies for the rich "higher" class. (get it, higher class.... yeah maybe not my best connection." and of course, he was what 3 and 1/2 when he was writing these symphonies. "Fit the crown to my head but I was only a kid" and of course, the man on the balcony saying no one will remember him, is our very own Antonio Salieri. You poor bastard..... ">
I believe the song to be about the movie "Amadeus", the movie about the life of Mozart and the possible murder of him by a fellow composer, Antonio Salieri, who is very jealous that he is unable to compose as well as Mozart.
There is a quote from Salieri in the movie that makes it quite obvious that this is what the song is based on:
"From now on we are enemies, You and I. Because You choose for Your instrument a boastful, lustful, smutty, infantile boy and give me for reward only the ability to recognize the incarnation. Because You are unjust, unfair, unkind, I will block You, I swear it. I will hinder and harm Your creature on earth as far as I am able."
Salieri is pretty much thumbing his nose to God because he hates Mozart, but his music is God's gift to man.
Any, you need proof from the FOB song so... um...
"Lunatic of a God, or God of a lunatic" --> Mozart did have a pretty loony personality, but his music? Incredible. Is Mozart crazy? or God?
"Composer but never composed" ---> obviously Mozart, he was always child like, never tried to act "proper."
