Red Hot Chili Peppers – Slow Cheetah Lyrics 7 years ago
Right what I get out of it too. The "slow cheetah's" don't fit in, don't understand what their role/place is in society.

Bluebird

there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say, stay in there, I'm not going
to let anybody see
you.
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I pour whiskey on him and inhale
cigarette smoke
and the whores and the bartenders
and the grocery clerks
never know that
he's
in there.

there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say,
stay down, do you want to mess
me up?
you want to screw up the
works?
you want to blow my book sales in
Europe?
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too clever, I only let him out
at night sometimes
when everybody's asleep.
I say, I know that you're there,
so don't be
sad.
then I put him back,
but he's singing a little
in there, I haven't quite let him
die
and we sleep together like
that
with our
secret pact
and it's nice enough to
make a man
weep, but I don't
weep, do
you?

Them Crooked Vultures – Reptiles Lyrics 13 years ago
quite frankly, this is about "us" and 'them", with the them in this case being those that run our world...whether it be your over bearing boss, boorish spouse, or whoever, it is about the oppressor, IMHO.

The Tragically Hip – Ahead By A Century Lyrics 13 years ago
My 2 cents...

This is a couple who have known each other since childhood, and have always been been fond of each other, resulting in their getting married as adults. In this process, one of them has "found" their self, and ultimately success (successful career, personal life, whatever). The singer of our song being the other person in this couple, has had a set back in his personal life, and is trying to overcome it. In the meantime, he is in a funk while trying to find himself, and can feel how disappointed his partner is in him. This is his last ditch attempt to put those feelings into words, to ask for help and understanding, and support instead of disapproval.
