One Hundred Years Lyrics
It doesn't matter if we all die
Ambition in the back of a black car In a high building there is so much to do Going home time A story on the radio... Something small falls out of your mouth And we laugh A prayer for something better A prayer For something better Please love me Meet my mother... But the fear takes hold Creeping up the stairs in the dark Waiting for the death blow Stroking your hair as the patriots are shot Fighting for freedom on the television Sharing the world with slaughtered pigs Have we got everything? She struggles to get away... The pain And the creeping feeling A little black haired girl Waiting for Saturday The death of her father pushing her Pushing her white face into the mirror Aching inside me And turn me round Just like the old days Just like the old days Caressing an old man And painting a lifeless face Just a piece of new meat in a clean room The soldiers close in under a yellow moon All shadows and deliverance Under a black flag A hundred years of blood Crimson The ribbon tightens round my throat I open my mouth And my head bursts open A sound like a tiger thrashing in the water Thrashing in the water Over and over We die one after the other Over and over We die one after the other after the other... It feels like a hundred years One hundred years... |

That's a goddamn slogan for depressed goth rock of the 80's, absolutely unforgettable.

"One Hundred Years" is the most brilliant and deliciously agonized, unabashed display of self-loathing I've ever heard...I love how it opens Pornography with it's utter hopelessness, but as the album progresses, there develops just a tiny glimmer of hope entwined in all of the blackness. There's nothing like it.

The start makes me think of a business guy who is stuck in a mundane high society job. He is with a girl and they are both so sad and depressed. You can just picture them sitting round a table and the line "Something small falls out of your mouth and we laugh" just looking for anything to try and find amusing.
They have no close relationship as she cannot get close to anybody, the next verse i can picture them in bed watching the news on tv and seeing all war and depressing shit and all he wants is for her to turn to him and let him protect her and be a part of him.
She is depreseed about the death of her father when she was little that she had never gotten over. Whether it was something sudden or not she saw him die and it has screwed her mind and saddend her.
For some reason I always picture the last verse as his father in a nursing home who fought in the war but basically time forgot. He has no recognition who anyone is "Caressing an old man
And painting a lifeless face
Just a piece of new meat in a clean room
The soldiers close in under a yellow moon
All shadows and deliverance
Under a black flag
A hundred years of blood
Crimson" absolute powerfull words. So she is going through the loss of her father and he is too.
in the end they both commit suicide by hanging which ends the pain and suffering they are both trying to hide....
