| Franz Ferdinand – Walk Away Lyrics | 15 years ago |

Never has a song has LESS to do with 9/11. Stop reading into it you silly yanks. Its a very straight forward song. He thinks/wants it to be easy for his girl to leave him (move away) and it trying to rationalise it to himself, however, as ever, its never that easy and once she is gone he suffers. I relate to this song all too well. no more 9/11 stuff, your ruining a beautiful song. |

Its about the chavs and the yobos who walk the streets in their stupid track suits thinking they know everything coz they read the tabloids, then getting drunk and fighting over whose opinion is more valid over some flawed article they read. its a very common occurrence. and a genius song. |

Yeah theFallen, their 'official' story behind thier songs is often kinda off beat with the obvious meaning, this means either that the official storys are made to throw off the audience (which ALOT of bands do) or simply the song was writen loosely. Most wrighters are obvious with their meaning, most of the KC's songs are obvious and thus they may say things to misslead. Cool song though, its sad but i idenify with it :-( |

| Muse – Invincible Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Some one said the Drumming made them think of the Military and the Guitar made them think of America... For me the Military Drums made me think of America and the Guitar made me think of Australia, as it sounds quite a bit like the National Anthem... however im sure the point is to sound like the Anthem of one country or another... its all the same really... Definitely a song dedicated to the western worlds complete lack of action against troubled times enforced by their own governments. Fantastic song. |

| Arcade Fire – The Well and the Lighthouse Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I see "cloud7" posted what appears to be an original, the one i heard was as is posted above. Sounds like the person who told me changed much, but left the underlying verse the same. | |
| Arcade Fire – The Well and the Lighthouse Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
All of the above is prorably true... HOWEVER! There is a Grim Fairy Tail that i wast told as a child about a Boy who heard a girl calling out for help form the bottom of a well, he could see her and see that she had a silver locket... And he figgured he would rescure her and take/be given the locket as a reward. He climbs down the well, and shes gone... he hears her outside the well and she says hes a greedy fool. The moral was a) not to be greedy b) if your going to do something, do it for the right reasons... In the story he was going to help her BUT only to be rewarded. |

| Arcade Fire – (Antichrist Television Blues) Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
The entire album is about 'Faith' and the many many flaws within faith. Think about the opening lines it talks about Planes comming down and hitting the gound... YES it does sound alot like 9/11 but 9/11 was an act of Anger based on the belifes of two cultures clashing, mainly based on Faith (america destroying the middle east for 3 decades finaly gets whats comming to it and its an act of terror... apparenly) anyway... So faith once again, the whole song is about some one knowing what they are doing is wrong BUT because it is helping or improving what he belives in he feels its justified... however he calls out to 'god' to answer, and tell him if its actualy right or wrong. Some one said the working title was "Joe Simpson" and although I know alot with the workings of this album andnever heard that; i cant give an actual answer. However yes, Joe Simpson started as a preacher and ended up whoring children through religeon for money. However a more stable connection woudl eb that of "Menina Pastora" a spanish girl preacher who works like an MC under her fathers managment. Video of Menia : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svAXeLDuXwo This song was writen from the perspective of one of these fathers asking god if what hes doign is justified. |

| Arcade Fire – My Body Is a Cage Lyrics | 17 years ago |

i think its simply about some one who is very un-sure about themselfs, it dosent matter weather his body CAN do what he wants to do, mentaly he cant... it covers all the examples given (physicaly, mentaly, emotinaly crippled) it is all these songs... a true song of personal tragedy... perfect. |

| Electric Six – Rock and Roll Evacuation Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I think that this song is about the Youth (mainly of America) being too fat and lazy to rebel againt the goverment. Talking of killing the body and the head still living, could be removing the republicans from power dosent actualy end the problem, the country is to far in the red. There is no more rock and roll rebels any more, or atleased none who are actualy doign anythign about it. thats my 2c |

LOL i just cant stop posting can i! lol here is my final posting of FULL lyrics and FULL lyrics with break down: __________________________________ (chorusx2) Cast off the crutch that kills the pain The Red Flag waving never meant the same The kids of tommorow don't need today when they live in the sins of yesterday. Well I've never seen us act like Our only hope is the minds of kids And they'll show us a thing or two Our only weapons are the guns of youth It's only time before they tighten the noose And then the hunt will be on for you The Red Flag waving never meant the same No, The Red Flag waving never meant the same (chorusx2) Like the smallest bee packs a sting Like the pawn checkmates a king We'll attack at the crack of dawn Build a ladder if there's a wall Don't be afraid to slip and fall Speak for yourself or they'll speak for you The Red Flag waving never meant the same No, The Red Flag waving never meant the same No! (chorusx2) Like a fire, Don't need Water Like a jury, Needs a Liar Like a Riot, Don't need Order Like a Madman, Needs a Martyr We don't need them (x8) (chorus x 3) We don't need them (x9) __________________________________ Please note that i hold no Bias towards or against the US im simply posting the meanings as i see them in reflection to the current political climat in the US and as i belive they were ment to be applyed. Ttalon223 did one of these already but since the lyrics wern't spot on ill re-do it using some of his words. __________________________________ (chorusx2) Cast off the crutch that kills the pain – *A crutch helps you to carry on when you are injured or in pain, This line depicts the pain as all the negitive actions being taken by the US government at the current time, Asking the listener to “Cast of the crutch” is asking the listener to wake up, stop beliveing the lies that are being fed to them just because it makes things easyer to accept. The Red Flag waving never meant the same – *As talon22 said "waving a red flag" is a euphemism for incitement [...] red is the "color of defiance" [...]" The Red Flag has been used by political and private groups to insight a change in the political system, The line “The Red Flag waving never meant the same” tells that it works, as if to say “If you wave a red flag now, you wont have to wave it again for the same reason, because it will make a difference” The kids of tommorow don't need today when they live in the sins of yesterday. - *As talon22 said “They wont be able to start fresh and will be forced to live from "our" mistakes. For example, the polluting of the air, destroying the ocean beds, overcutting of trees, etc.” Well I've never seen us act like this – *This is a comment on the lazyness and blazay attitude to the peoples actions at the moment, when the President is illigaly invading and breaking rules set by the constitution the people sit idle by and do nothing. “Well I've never seen us act like this” shows the composer is amazed the people have done nothing as of yet. Our only hope is the minds of kids – *This related to the previous line, in that currently no action is being taken, and thus our kids will have to in the future, “Our only hope is the minds of kids” shows that the countrys only hope is the children of today will envoke a meaningful change. And they'll show us a thing or two - *This is related to the previous line, in that the actions being taken by the adults now arnt working and yet they try the same thing over and over in vain. The line “And they'll show us a thing or two” shows that the younger generation will show where the older generation went wrong and how to fix it. Our only weapons are the guns of youth – *In the war against corruption our only hope for fighting it in the future is our children, and it’s important they understand right from wrong. It's only time before they tighten the noose - *Its only a matter of years until the current younger generation are in power, after the older generation retire. And then the hunt will be on for you – *As talon22 said “we" will be the ones blamed for "their" conditions of life.” The Red Flag waving never meant the same No, The Red Flag waving never meant the same *See what is writen above for this same lyric. (chorusx2) Like the smallest bee packs a sting – *No matter how small a person may be, they can still fight; they can still cause a change. Like the pawn checkmates a king - *No matter where you come from or what “class” you fall into you can still challenge the highest authority. We'll attack at the crack of dawn - *”We” meaning the youth, will make a surprise attack and set things right. Build a ladder if there's a wall – *Nothing will stop us. Don't be afraid to slip and fall – *Don’t be scare to fail, you are not alone. Speak for yourself or they'll speak for you – *Voice your own opinion or else be counted as one of ‘them’, one of the closed minded willing to go along with the corrupt leaders. The Red Flag waving never meant the same No, The Red Flag waving never meant the same *See what is writen above for this same lyric. No! (chorusx2) Like a fire, Don't need Water- *Fire Dosent need water, duh Like a jury, Needs a Liar – *A jury can not be 100% in agreeance, other wise the vote will be biased, in a case of 100% agreeance either new jury will be called or members must lie about their opinions in order to give an overall fair trial. Like a Riot, Don't need Order – Riots don’t need order , duh Like a Madman, Needs a Martyr – A Martyr is an icon or figurehead for a movement or belife, without them the Mad Man in question (most likely a terrorist) would have nothing to die for. We don't need them (x8) – Repetition (chorus x 3) We don't need them (x9) -End- __________________________________ ***A Martyr is a icon or figurehead for a movement or belief; We don't need them, generally this term is used to “idolise” people who have taken a stand for what they believe in and dies in the process. A Martyr makes public his convictions through doing this, those who don’t agree will see him and all that follow as “mad men” (eg. The acts of violence on the US over the last years as seen as “Attacks” however in retrospect they are in-fact responses not attacks, To the US Osama is seen as a Mad Man, to his followers Osama is seen as a Hero, and when Osama passes will undoubtedly become a Martyr. __________________________________ I have no doubt in my mind that this song is about the U.S. political actions over the last several years, if you disagree maybe you should “Cast off the crutch” aye. |

| P.S. The correct lyrics hold the same meaning as the ones every one posted, well done everyone. Its a fantastic song. | |

Further more another clever use of alliteration: note whats capitalised: Light a fire DON'T NEED water Like a jury NEEDs a liar Like a riot DON'T NEED order Like a madman NEEDs a martyr Switching from Dont need to Need back and forthm very clever... The correct lyrics one more time are: "Light a fire Don't need water Like a jury Needs a liar Like a riot Don't need order Like a madman Needs a martyr We don't need them (x8 )" |

| Billy Talent – Red Flag Lyrics | 18 years ago |

Curently this is posted : Light a fire There'll be water Like a jury Needs a liar Like a riot Turning over Like a madman Needs a martyr We don't need them (x8 ) This is incorrect, the correct lyrics are: Light a fire Don't need water Like a jury Needs a liar Like a riot Don't need order Like a madman Needs a martyr We don't need them (x8 ) This is a form alliteration, the first line is an order, the second a statement. Eg. Light a fire (fire = chaos, destruction, anarchy) Don't need water (water = control, safety, comfort) There would be no point in saying that "we dont need them" is like a fire needs water... its compleatly obserd to think that a fire NEEDS water to keep being a fire. It's clever alliteration, listen to it in protools and bring up the vocals, its really quite clear. |
