I listen to both Eminem as well as metal. I cant differentiate. Each has it's own beauty. And anyways, if i say that eminem is good and you say that metal's good, does that make you right and make me wrong? No dude, it's all a matter of personal opinion.
Hello jayswami. Sorry I completely missed your request for its interpretation. I would be more than happy to explain it. In the song 1,000 Eyes, Chuck refers to an imaginary future where the privacy of every single human being on earth is invaded by constant surveillance. Thus the reference to "privacy and intimacy will be a memory". Furthermore he refers to the fact that due to this relentless surveillance, humanity becomes aware of its being monitored at a concious level and therefore do not do anything that they would not want recorded. This is referred to in the chorus line "Living in the pupil of 1,000 eyes". By this he believes humanity's right of freedom is curtailed by imposing upon the free will of the populace. The focal point of the song is probably the question "Was it overlooked in front of all our faces?" by which he asks if we would purposely want the survelliance as a means of self-control and it was deliberately being overlooked by the majority of mankind. This is further supported by the line "a worldwide, foolproof cage". The song ends on a pretty self-explained note "We are enslaved now" but is further emphasised by the fact that it is screamed with roaring double-kick drums giving the outro. Must be heard to be appreciated. Chuck was definitely a fantastic musician. There's reason behind why I call him the greatest musician of our time.
i feel its got to be bob dylan..........check this out 2:Bob Dylanesolation Row They're selling postcards of the hanging They're painting the passports brown The beauty parlor is filled with sailors The circus is in town Here comes the blind commissioner They've got him in a trance One hand is tied to the tight-rope walker The other is in his pants And the riot squad they're restless They need somewhere to go As Lady and I look out tonight From Desolation Row Cinderella, she seems so easy "It takes one to know one," she smiles And puts her hands in her back pockets Bette Davis style And in comes Romeo, he's moaning "You Belong to Me I Believe" And someone says," You're in the wrong place, my friend You better leave" And the only sound that's left After the ambulances go Is Cinderella sweeping up On Desolation Row Now the moon is almost hidden The stars are beginning to hide The fortunetelling lady Has even taken all her things inside All except for Cain and Abel And the hunchback of Notre Dame Everybody is making love Or else expecting rain And the Good Samaritan, he's dressing He's getting ready for the show He's going to the carnival tonight On Desolation Row Now Ophelia, she's 'neath the window For her I feel so afraid On her twenty-second birthday She already is an old maid To her, death is quite romantic She wears an iron vest Her profession's her religion Her sin is her lifelessness And though her eyes are fixed upon Noah's great rainbow She spends her time peeking Into Desolation Row Einstein, disguised as Robin Hood With his memories in a trunk Passed this way an hour ago With his friend, a jealous monk He looked so immaculately frightful As he bummed a cigarette Then he went off sniffing drainpipes And reciting the alphabet Now you would not think to look at him But he was famous long ago For playing the electric violin On Desolation Row Dr. Filth, he keeps his world Inside of a leather cup But all his ***less patients They're trying to blow it up Now his nurse, some local loser She's in charge of the cyanide hole And she also keeps the cards that read "Have Mercy on His Soul" They all play on penny whistles You can hear them blow If you lean your head out far enough From Desolation Row Across the street they've nailed the curtains They're getting ready for the feast The Phantom of the Opera A perfect image of a priest They're spoonfeeding Casanova To get him to feel more assured Then they'll kill him with self-confidence After poisoning him with words And the Phantom's shouting to skinny girls "Get Outa Here If You Don't Know Casanova is just being punished for going To Desolation Row" Now at midnight all the agents And the superhuman crew Come out and round up everyone That knows more than they do Then they bring them to the factory Where the heart-attack machine Is strapped across their shoulders And then the kerosene Is brought down from the castles By insurance men who go Check to see that nobody is escaping To Desolation Row Praise be to Nero's Neptune The Titanic sails at dawn And everybody's shouting "Which Side Are You On?" And Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot Fighting in the captain's tower While calypso singers laugh at them And fishermen hold flowers Between the windows of the sea Where lovely mermaids flow And nobody has to think too much About Desolation Row Yes, I received your letter yesterday (About the time the door knob broke) When you asked how I was doing Was that some kind of joke? All these people that you mention Yes, I know them, they're quite lame I had to rearrange their faces And give them all another name Right now I can't read too good Don't send me no more letters no Not unless you mail them From Desolation Row
Chuck was diagnosed with brain stem cancer in 1999. After a two and a half year fight, he passed away on December 13th, 2001.
^^Wayne Brady?? Isn't he the guy from "Whose line is it anyway"?? Correct me if I'm wrong. Yeah, he does make up pretty funny lyrics though.
for me the best lyricist of alltime are: dave mustaine james hettfield bruce springsteen bob dylan bon jovi chriss cornell john denver beatles and pink floyd & led zep have some lyrics that shake u up if u are high....
hmmm. mustaine's a decent lyricist, his songs on RIP were great. my favorite lyricist is maynard, tool being my favorite band im a lil biased. i also like thom yorke, and cedric bixler zavala. hmmm, hetfield was great in MoP(his best lyrics IMO).
