Hendrix, still appropriate after 50 years. Hooray, I awake from yesterday Alive, but the war is here to stay So, my love Catherina and me Decide to take our last walk through the noise to the sea Not to die, but to be reborn Away from lands so battered and torn Forever Forever Oh, say can you see, it's really such a mess Every inch of Earth is a fighting nest Giant pencil and lipstick tube-shaped things Continue to rain and cause screaming pain And the Arctic stains from silver blue to bloody red As our feet find the sand and the sea Is straight ahead Straight up ahead Well, it's too bad, that our friends can't be with us today Well, it's too bad "The machine that we built would never save us" That's what they say That's why they ain't coming with us today And they also said "It's impossible for man to live and breathe underwater forever" Was their main complaint, yeah And they also threw this in my face, they said "Anyway, you know good and well It would be beyond the will of God And the grace of the King" Grace of the King, yeah-yeah So, my darling and I make love in the sand To salute the last moment ever on dry land Our machine has done its work, played its part well Without a scratch on our bodies and we bid it farewell Starfish and giant foams greet us with a smile Before our heads go under, we take a last look at the killing noise Of the out-of-style The out-of-style, out-of-style Ooh-ooh-ooh So, down and down and down and down And down and down we go Hurry, my darling, we mustn't be late For the show Neptune champion games to an aqua World is so very dear "Right this way, " smiles a mermaid I can hear Atlantis full of cheer Atlantis full of cheer I can hear Atlantis full of cheer Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: Jimi Hendrix 1983...

Hendrix rears his ugly head in yet another music-related thread. His music simultaneously induces one to get the urge to do drugs, but at the same time his lyrics warn you that drugs will mess you up. And thanks for confirming my theory that people don't take time to study lyrics and have no idea what they're listening to. Anyway, these lyrics are a bit nuts. Not sure about his other songs. Never got into all his music. Purple haze, all around Don't know if I'm comin' up or down Am I happy or in misery? Help me Help me

Other song lyrics are deliberately abstract, but have a hidden meaning that the songwriter wants you to try to figure out. Maybe Hotel California and Stairway to Heaven fall into that category. Some song lyrics probably don't mean anything. They're just stringing random words together.

It's a lot of personal things that happen to musicians or someone they know, hate for wars and other things, ways to release stress, or dreams and fantasies.

Hotel California is looking at the dark side of American life, hedonism where you can't escape it's grasp, drinking, Stairway to heaven is trying to buy your way there isstead of living a good life

First in the charts and right now at silver with the albumSick Boy. Notice that the OP starts complaining about no new good liricks and when you give it, it's ignored. Others like Maga Yagoda need to show his inability of reading (and others) by flooding 50 years old songs.

Days of intellectual, question everything, social conscious forming music is long behind us. Sadly, they are timeless, and not a damn thing has changed. Last song I heard that gave one a pause for thought was from Jeff Beck, Guitar Shop, and 'Day in the House' track. A 1989 release More instrumental and pointing out the obvious ... 'Nothing is being done' Give my links a try. All I'm asking.

July 12, 2025Jul 12 Donovan Universal Soldier Aug. 13, 1965 He's five foot-two, and he's six feet-four He fights with missiles and with spears He's all of thirty-one And he's only seventeen He's been a soldier for a thousand years He's a Catholic, a Hindu, an atheist, a Jain A Buddhist and a Baptist and a Jew And he knows he shouldn't kill And he knows he always will Kill you for me, my friend, and me for you And he's fighting for Canada, he's fighting for France He's fighting for the USA And he's fighting for the Russians And he's fighting for Japan And he thinks we'll put an end to war this way And he's fighting for democracy, he's fighting for the reds He says it's for the peace of us all He's the one who must decide Who's to live and who's to die And he never sees the writing on the wall But without him how would Hitler have condemned him at Libau? Without him Caesar would have stood alone He's the one who gives his body As a weapon of the war And without him all this killing can't go on He's the universal soldier, and he really is to blame His orders come from far away no more They come from here and there and you and me And brothers can't you see This is not the way we put the end to war
July 12, 2025Jul 12 The lyrics of Simon & Garfunkle's Sound of Silence were meaningful, if not profound. Hurt by Nine-Inch Nails was profound, especially when sung by Johnny Cash.

July 12, 2025Jul 12 Bob Vylan ? I met a man on my travels He sold guns for a living At twelve hundred a pop for a clean one He was making a killing Anything to feed the family Money goes out when the bill's in Even if it meant killing someone else's children I said it's hard times in the city He said, "It's hard times everywhere (Everywhere) That's why I keep my three-fifth with me Let 'em try me if they dare" Said he's aiming it at your chest He's not aiming it in the air Flash flood the whole block when he pulls it Have it raining everywhere Met a man in my dealings He fed a habit by stealing Robbed Peter, but never paid Paul So both started scheming Last time that I saw him You said, "He's been clean for days" That was one week prior to him being found Stabbed dead in his flat hallway

He is not Bruce Springsteen Amarican vibes but.. ohhh no Bruce is out these days isn't he?
