| 30 Seconds to Mars – This Is War Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| Yeah, I was reading BRAVE NEW WORLD when all of a sudden this incredible song starts playing, and it got me really psyched. However, I think this song is more about overcoming the struggles that they had with EMI, not the book. Oh well. Love the book, love the song . . . All is well with the world :) | |

Pfft. What's up with people assuming it's about LSD??? C'mon now. It's Coldplay. They don't need drugs to be poetic. So, I just have to say first of all, that this song is GORGEOUS!!! So haunting. Also, I think this song alludes to Orwell's 1984, or even just the eerie ways of some totalitarian and / or communist governments. You know, not being able to live life without fear and constantly having your actions monitered by 'spies'. Again, beautiful beautiful song. |

| Dream Theater – Pull Me Under Lyrics | 13 years ago |

Yep. This song is fo-sho based on Hamlet. Reason 1 : "watch the sparrow falling . . ." Hamlet refers to the death of his father as a falling sparrow. Reason 2 : "all that I feel is honor and spite / all I can do is set it right" takes from the line "O cursed spite that ever I was made to set it right." Reason 3 : "living my life too much in the sun" is another line that's take almost directly from the play (a clever little pun) "Not so, my lord. I am too much in the sun" Reason 4 : "only until your will is done." Hamlet is basically about a prince doing the will of his dead father: seeking revenge on his murderer. Reason 5 : "I'll take seven lives for one" is referring to how Hamlet only intends to avenge his father's murder by killing his guilty uncle, but in the process, seven lives are taken. (Polonius, Ophelia, Laertes, Gertrude, Claudius, Rosencrantz, and Guildenstern) That about settles it. Awesome song, though, eh? |
