| The Beatles – Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| The post above me is exactly what I was talking about in my other post. Believe it's about LSD if you want, but don't act as if other people are idiots for thinking it isn't. Because that makes you the idiot. | |
| America – A Horse With No Name Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I'll refrain from my feelings about people discarding all the imagery in this song just to try and sound like experts when they say "DOOD ITS HEROIN HORSE MEANS HEROIN! YAY! IM SO SMART AND COOL LOLZ!" Basically, if the only word you can come up with for this song is heroin, how do you explain the last lyrics "Under the cities lies a heart made of ground, but the humans will give no love"? There are many different possible meanings for this song, the way I see it, but I believe it's about individuality: The narrator discovers his individuality while he's alone (the desert). Soon, however, he realizes the toll society (the rain) has taken on him, and its impact. Eventually, he has to return to society, and mask his true identity, although on the inside, he is still the same person (The ocean is a desert with its life underground.) As for the last line, I believe it's a statement about how people only look skin-deep, and don't treasure what makes a person individual. |

| Paul Simon – You Can Call Me Al Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Overall, this song describes Simon's trip to South Africa, and how he had to deal with a bit of cultural adjustment. In the first and second verses, he seems out of place, and wonders if something might be wrong with him or if he's not as strong as he used to be. (mid-life crisis, perhaps?) By the third verse, however, he has found a bit of comfort in the new culture, and admires its beauty. Great song from a great album. | |

I dislike it when people think they're so smart by saying things like "IT'S ALL BOUT LSD! YOUR ALL WRONG! IM RIGHT! GET OVER IT!" First of all, don't think you're "enlightened" or "unique" for believing it's about LSD, many before have reached the same conclusion. Second, it's not a question or right or wrong. You can make your own interpretations of songs. And finally, not every musician in the 60s was into drugs, and not every musician who was into drugs only wrote songs about drugs. So I don't think this song is about LSD (I think it is about the drawing), and anyone's free to disagree with me. Just don't act as if I'm an unenlightened idiot for thinking that. |

Actually, the line is "And a feeling hit me oh so strong". This song pretty much speaks for itself. It's about a guy who falls in love with his friend, and first denies it, but soon realizes that she really is the one for him. |
