| Grouplove – Itchin on a Photograph Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| Just have to comment on how maddening the phrase "itchin' on a photograph" is. These words put together could only make sense if he meant scratching instead of itching, which he doesn't because he says scratching in the next line! The only thing I can possibly discern is that he had an itch when the picture was taken of him. There's just no getting past this line for me, help! | |
| Ministry – Gangreen Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| @[LunaticLiam:25937] My friend was a Marine and he always viewed this song as very pro-Marine, telling me that lines like "first on the scene and the last to know" or "Heaven is filled with our casualties" were Marine mantras, proud to throw themselves into battle and die, even if ignorant as to why. I also picked up somewhere that the voice of the drill instructor was the superior of the guy from Full Metal Jacket, a real-life drill instructor himself. I always saw Ministry as against the war but in support of the military. I could be wrong, but I got that from my Marine buddy. | |

| That's a beautiful interpretation and I hope it's the accurate interpretation, but I have my doubts. Then there's the video about Kim Jong Un which I don't know what it has to do with anything. | |
| Pink Floyd – Eclipse Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
I'm a little surprised by all the different interpretations of this song, because what it means to me is simple and powerful. Early in the album the lyrics go, "all you touch and all you see is all your life will ever be." A pretty grim take on life, that it has so little meaning. As the album progresses, the lyrics portray a man grown tired by the drudgery of life. It's about working, running to catch a plane flight, wasting time, money, building status, politics, and war. Even the act of breathing, existence itself. It's enough to make anybody go insane. How crazy would you be to think that just one man's life holds any kind of significance? So maybe that's the answer, madness. To trick ourselves into thinking anything matters. What if you thought there was more? For me this is probably the most uplifting song I've ever heard. It says, EVERYTHING matters. As he lists all of the experiences of life during Eclipse, he's saying there isn't one thing that one of us ever does that doesn't matter. Listen to the words and know each one of those things impacts the universe and all of us, everything under the sun. But then you'd have to be crazy, on the dark side of the moon, to think that's true. If that's the case, I say let the moon eclipse the sun and put us all on the dark side. |
