The Decemberists – Sixteen Military Wives Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
The video does make it clear. The US representative is the leader and most people blindly followed his word. Toward the end, they realize that the US is actually wrong to do whatever they say, especially because they like to go to war for no reason (in the video they go to war against Luxembourg with no stated reason).
The song is pretty much about how we (the people of the US) tend to listen to whatever the media says and some of the other countries in the world follow us as well. But in the end they will probably realize how stupod they were to follow. It also seems like they touch on how anyone who doesn't listen to us will be made fun of and alienated. |

Creed – Torn Lyrics
| 20 years ago

I think it means that he felt betrayed by his religion (lies are what they tell me). I remember watching Behind the Music and he did drugs and admitted this to the colledge he was going to and they kicked him out. He had been told that if you are honest you will be forgiven, but he wasn't and he felt that everything that he had been told about religion was a lie. |
