chromatically declining me

12 Rods

Standing concrete form and concrete smile
Small children poking me in the eyes

I'm having too much fun in bed with myself
(Woah) it hit me that

How many good people are
Deceiving me right now?
I think about it too much

America's number one statistical faux pas
(Woah, woah)

By my volition
By my volition
By my volition
(Woah) it hit me that

How many good people are
Deceiving me right now?
I think about it like
Backwards voices and bad T.V. programming
I'm drawn to life like the Klan are to minority
It's something I don't want to see
Chromatically declining me

Standing concrete form and concrete smile
Small children poking me in the eyes

It's so hard to wake up
When your mind and body aches
And your dick's in your hand
You begin to count with you fingers about

How many good people are
Deceiving me right now?
I think about it like
Backwards voices and bad T.V. programming
I'm drawn to life like the Klan are to minority
It's something I don't want to see
Chromatically declining me

    Amazing song, could it be about worrying too much about the hidden paranoia within oneself, and how we try to hide it but end up only making it worse? Vague.

Zombie
Cranberries, The
"Zombie" is about the ethno-political conflict in Ireland. This is obvious if you know anything of the singer (Dolores O'Riordan)'s Irish heritage and understood the "1916" Easter Rising reference. "Another head hangs lowly Child is slowly taken And the violence caused such silence Who are we mistaken - Another mother's breaking Heart is taking over" Laments the Warrington bomb attacks in which two children were fatally injured on March 23rd, 1993. Twelve year old Tim Parry was taken off life support with permission from his mother after five days in the hospital, virtually braindead. "But you see it's not me It's not my family" References how people who are not directly involved with the violence feel about it. They are "zombies" without sympathy who refuse to take action while others suffer.

Sunglasses at Night
Corey Hart
In the 1980s, sunglasses were a common fashion for people who wanted to adopt a "tough guy" persona (note all the cop shows from that era -- Simon & Simon, Miami Vice, etc. -- where the lead characters wore shades). So I think this song is about a guy who wears shades as a way of hiding his insecurity after learning that his girlfriend is cheating on him. He's trying to pretend that he's a "tough guy" to hide the fact that his girlfriend's affair is disturbing him.
