| Jack White – Blunderbuss Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| Interesting take, but no. This song is about Jack White's brother that passed away. He's spoken of it in interviews. When he was younger, the brother would take him to the movies. Nothing too mystical about this song, just talking about his relationship with his brother, but in a very introspective and very beautiful way. | |
| Against Me! – I Was a Teenage Anarchist Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I'm sure there are parallels about punk music in this song, but this song isn't about the punk music scene. This song is about Tom Gabel's experience with the Anarchist scene. He talks about it a lot in his interviews. A lot of his fans, especially his anarchist fans, have been pretty angry with Against Me! since they signed with a major label and as they've gotten older, their lyrics have shifted away from that ideology when compared to their earlier songs. This song is pretty straight forward, there's no mythology here, he was in fact, a teenage anarchist. I know its fun to do, but let's not mystify this too much. Sometimes songs don't have deep meanings, sometimes they are what they are. And this song is what it is. They're a great band and I'm just happy that they cover a lot of ground in their lyrics. But this song is just summing up what he's been saying for many years in his interviews and putting all the anarchist questions/answers to rest. |
