I always heard it as "now we dyed it back - now we fade to black" as if she had bleached her hair out before the fling in Haiti and then dyed it back upon returning... (yes, my own crazy interpretation) Thanks for filling in the lyrical gap with the cinema reference. Very interesting take on a great song. |

You may be correct - and I think your analysis is on track and insightful. But I am still curious as to what Brian F. actually believes in. He does not seem like an atheist to me - but more a nihilist looking for faith What do you make of the lyrics for 'Triptych" and "In every Dream-home a Heartache?" Is it 100 % irony and camped-up satire? |

Basically a medieval Christmas Carol. I'm glad she sowed those seeds. Christ est Roi et Seigneur ! Pilate ne croit nullement que Jésus est un agitateur politique ; il s’inquiète seulement de savoir si ce personnage qu’il prend pour un illuminé prétend détenir un pouvoir quelconque. La réponse du Christ en dit long sur l’idée qu’il se fait de sa propre royauté. Il n’est pas roi, évidemment, à la manière des potentats qui font sentir leur puissance. S’il est roi, ce n’est que pour une seule raison : sauver son peuple. http://www.prier.presse.fr/prieres/christ-roi-de-l-univers-25-11-2012-2204_136.php |

OK honey - stop exposing your damaged soul and get real for a moment. Are you searching for Truth? Are you looking for Love? Are you wondering why you were conceived? Or are you just having fun being a drama queen? There is enough sadness in this world for all. How much do you want? Walking tall not looking back when all is not well won't get you very far... I will pray for you. God loves you. May your roses at sunset rise with the dawn. Love, http://connecthook.wordpress.com/ PS - most rap music sucks. Sorry but it MUST be said. |

| The nihilistic sorrow conveyed by this song is enough to put a thoughtful person over the edge. If you have ever lived in NYC and or fallen in love with dark ladies, don't drink and listen to this song. | |

|
Felonious vs. Thelonius is a mini-controversy in itself. Thelonius immediately brings associations of the jazz musician and jazz culture, while "Felonious" connotes crime and low-grade thuggery. Cognate with "felony". The problem is that not everyone buys the album - and the singer slurs and lisps a lot so that Felonious sounds like Thelonius the way he pronounces it. |

I also take it as a warning. Substitute "Iranian nukes" for blankets of volcanic cinders and " texting on your I-phone" for praying at the Lares shrine. It's the immediacy of the doom that makes this song so powerful. |

| Siouxsie and the Banshees – Cities In Dust Lyrics | 1 month ago |
| Your commentary is insightful. I actually enjoyed reading Edward Gibbons on the rise of the Church and the demise of Rome. I agree with all you said about impending mortality and "the insignificance of human accomplishment in the face of death" - but I also see it as a parable of divine retribution. For us, living centuries after the fact, and knowing what we know about the condensation of events when viewed through distant history, I think it is natural to see the destruction of Pompeii as a parable of vengeance against idolatry. In any case, it is refreshing to find thoughtful commentary of any kind at this website. Siouxsie Sioux brings minds together over great lyrics and music! | |

I just heard this song. Ugh. Vile. It ruined the YouTube I was trying to watch about the Amazon. The film itself was beautiful but this song makes me want to retch. I maintain, against the combined wrath of the mediocre majority, that REM were the beginning of the end for rock and opened the way for big-time alterna-whining and dull indie micro-groups... |

SO one might say to those who hold such views: "go find fulfillment in a more enlightened society such as... uh - North Korea. ie: go play a meaningful role in a Maoist society...go bloom like a red flower in Pol Pot's Cambodia or join forces with the FARC in Colombia. Or else just keep on playing dissonant lefty art-punk." And don't whine when they use your songs to advertise automobiles. http://connecthook.wordpress.com/2013/02/16/%E2%98%AD-a-chicken-in-ever-pol-pot/ |
