| A Perfect Circle – Counting Bodies Like Sheep to the Rhythm of the War Drums Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Honestly, and don't go off on me for my own opinion but I personally think that this song can be interperated however we wish. To me, it reminds me of someone's need to protect someone from any possible harm - whether harm from themselves or another person. I say this because "I'll be the one to protect you from your enemies and your choices" and "Isolate and save you from yourself" sounds like something a mother or father might say to their children, seeing as how I have heard this several times in my lifetime. Then again it impacts me because it reminds me of the Soldiers at war and how they wish to "protect you from your enemies and your choices." Music video's do NOT give the meaning of the song, i mean come on people! Have you seen music video's these days? They tend to have NOTHING to do with the songs, just saying. Unlike everyone here, I have not heard these "porn sounds." Just because someone grunts, does not mean they are having sex. I grunt when being kicked in the stomach, so the sounds you may hear could because it's a representation of someone being hurt. "They don't give a fuck about you like I do." could also refer to an obsessive ex boyfriend or girlfriend. There are voices, girls and guys, but i don't hear any sex sounds honestly. I hear fighting, anguish and moaning (Pain, not from sex.) As humans, we will hear whatever we THINK is there. Confusing lyrics happens a LOT. Nonetheless about the song's possible true meaning - It rocks, i go into a sort of...trance when I listen to it and it makes my mind race. Unless lyrics are straightforward and make it OBVIOUS what the song is about, more than likely the artist wants the person listening to simply interperate it their own way. Music is a powerful thing so when we listen to a song and try to find a meaning that was never specifically there in the first place, it makes us listen to it more, buy more of their cds and have your own meanings to a song. | |
