automatically I loved this song. But my question is what the heck is this song about? Well, I think I could make up what I think it's about but listening to the lyrics...it's confusing. Here's the chorus: Are we human or are we dancer
My sign is vital, my hands are cold
My sign is vital, my hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human or are we dancer
Hum....? Personally I think we are all "dancer."
Are we human or are we dancer
Hum....? Personally I think we are all "dancer."
Here's another song I love but not quite sure about the lyrics. I always picture some kind of midevil scene, although from the album cover it looks like some kind of civil war.
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word 
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Catholic choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
That would be Coldplay's "Viva la Vida," which translates into "long live life." To me the title and the lyrics of the song could mean live a good life, you don't want to look back in years to come and find you just left distruction and unhappiness. The chorus could be the person in the song waking up and hearing the blossoming of a new day...maybe. Is it wrong to inspired by a song you don't completely understand?

I never know what songs mean. So confusing. Love both of those ones though!
oh yeah. another one that's confusing to me is "nine in the afternoon" by panic at the disco. ummm, what?
Those are kind of weird songs. I don't know what they really mean either. Oh and Viva la Vida actually just means Live Life or Living Life. Just thought I'd share the little Spanish knowledge that I have. :)
ahhh, dang wikipedia! I guess in their defense they did say the actual translation was "live life" but they said something and "long live life" so I went with it. Thanks for the input! Being from New Mexico you would think that I would be able to translate Spanish without wikipedia though! haha!
Thoughtful post. I think as long as something artistic inspires you, it's got to be a good thing. We could all use more inspiration. :)
hey Kina! Good to hear from you. I wish you could come too. Kind of random but there have been slot of Mary higgins clark movies on tv and it made me think of our fun summer together(:
