| Yes – And You And I Lyrics | 2 years ago |
| This song is a neoplatonic/buddistic(brahmayana)/hermeneutic song the first two sections are about attaining final transendence and one's love for this (summed up, ofcourse there is more) The last section is about a teacher/preacher becoming a "true" teacher/preacher by becoming a dead man walking or seeing the sight of seeds of life. The with you is a reference to the neoplatonic nous or "buddistic" lower brahma. | |

| @[Nashington:34287] the silver spion in hand part is a reverence tot heroin i think. Since after that line he says that when the taxman comes they just sell everything they got. | |
| Radiohead – High and Dry Lyrics | 4 years ago |
| I think the song has something to do with the icarus story in greek mythologie. Where icarus because of his over self confidence fly's to high and so comes to his doom. The song is atleast talking about a similar subject, probably with a couple of reverences to the mythologie. For example the high and dry stuff or flying his motorcycle or the killing yourself for recognition (maybe). | |
| Portishead – Mysterons Lyrics | 4 years ago |

First of all, It was most likely bases on the 60's series of captain Scarlett, where the mysterions (title) are the bad guys So this serie starts out (year 2068) with earthlings discovering a city on Mars and after being shot on by the city, they destroy the city. The Mysterions after this get real mad and wanna kill the earthlings. So they keep planning terrorist attacks on them. That's what the whole serie is about. So I think it goes as follows: -Inside your pretending- So insider your "reality" or fiction or whatever And with your, they are refering to the earthlings -Crimes have been swept aside- the destroying of that city by the earthlings -Somewhere where they can forget- That's where they have swept it to -Divine upper reaches- The elite of the earthlings or defenders, which are the good guys in the series (and by the way, with divine i think they are relating tot the fact that the main character is immortal, but could also just be the elite) -Still holding on- Holding on to the lie -This ocean will not be grasped- This enormous mistake or "ocean" Will not be grasped Now its about the Mysterions: -All for nothing- It wasn't THAT big a deal (the city destroying thing) Did you really want Did you really want Did you really want -Did you really want- Was it worth it? -Refuse to surrender- They refuse to forgive -Strung out until ripped apart- They string them out until they break -Who dares, who dares to condemn- Who dares to condemn them, after the earthlings have destroyed there city All for nothing Did you really want Did you really want Did you really want Did you really want So I think the moral of the story is that Both nations are driven by emotions. The one of fear to face the reality of what they did (earthlings). The other, the Madness of destroying another nation completely without remorse. I don't think the song chooses a side, I think the song had sympathy for both. |
