| Counting Crows – Einstein On The Beach Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| The song is about Einstein's reserach leading to the development of the atomic bomb: The lines "One more sun comes sliding down the sky/One more shadow leans against the wall" are a clear reference to the radiation burns or "shadows" literallty left of people who were incinerated in Hiroshima. The line "the worst things come from inside here" and "some inflated form of hit and run" refer to the desire to end the war quickly but decisively: the drive for peace leads to the development of the most catastrophic instrument of war. | |
