Lyric interpretation of "Paint it Black" by The Rolling Stones
Song: Paint it black
Artist: The Rolling Stones
Trivia: Soundtrack in Westworld.
Source: Randomly coped songs of a friend.
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colours anymore, I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love, both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a newborn baby, it just happens everyday
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and must have it painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look
I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah
Song Interpretation
The character in this song is depressed. He is unable to see the world like an optimist does.
Whatever little light that he sees, he wants to hide from it and block it out from his life.
He sees people going around about their lives reveling under the same sun, but all he sees
are the shadows it casts.
He sees a funeral procession with black cars and is reminded of his dead love. He knows that
there is no breathing life into it. It is not easy for him to lead his life when he views the
world through his sad glasses.
When he was with her, his life was pure like the clear ocean enriched with life and goodness,
but now it has become stagnant and impure - a harbour for toxic and unresolved feelings.
He feels remorse that he could not reach out to her when she needed him the most.
So he has decided not to let any such feelings trap him again, he wants to lock his
heart up and keep it tuned to a sad mood as he is still hung up on his past love. His love is dead.

Artist: The Everly Brothers
Trivia:The song is ranked No. 141 on the Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

This is a nice soothing slow tempo song.
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
When I want you in my arms
When I want you and all your charms
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
When I feel blue in the night
And I need you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam
I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
I'm dreamin' my life away
I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam
Interpretation:
Well the meaning of this song is as described in the lyrics itself.
Here the character in the song is either talking about his past love\ his wife or partner who is no more
\ long distance relationship.
InceptionMovie: A movie where you jump into dreams to seed ideas, the hero of the movie learns his subconscious houses an invasive projection of his late wife Mal.
He misses the other person (she) significantly, during hardships or lonely times he just wishes she is around to make him alright, but when he realizes she is not around he just keeps starts dreaming about her hoping to ease his pain.
He loves this person deeply and feels he has attained everything in life through her love. He tends to get lost in her memories, her presence is still around him. He is aware that he is spending to much time in this journey of memories and is distracted from his regular activities.

Lyric interpretation of "Seven Nation Army" by the White Stripes
Song: Seven Nation Army
Artist: White stripes
Trivia: "Salvation Army" was actually misspoke into "Seven Nation Army"
Source: Random song copied accidentally.
Interpretation:
I'm gonna fight 'em all
A seven nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back
And I'm talking to myself at night
Because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette
And the message coming from my eyes
Says leave it alone
The author is fighting off lot of feelings of hatred that are coming at him like the
bullets of war. He does not want to get entangled in it , but as his mind tries
to hold him back with all its strength - he is growing more skeptic about the rumors\
things going around about him.
He is planning and plotting a way out of this pitfall he sees in the far, he is contemplating
ways to put the flame off as his soul wants him to do the same.
Don't want to hear about it
Every single one's got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell
And if I catch it coming back my way
I'm gonna serve it to you
And that ain't what you want to hear
But that's what I'll do
And the feeling coming from my bones
Says find a home
Author is aware that everyone in this world past\present\future across all sections of society has\had a story, that made them or broke them or remade them into what they are. It is a well known fact and that doesn't make anyone special because it is not unique to all. He is also being indifferent to his own story, he feels a sense of empathy or self pity for himself from time to time. Which he wants to remove from his well focused mind. He wants to build a box for such feelings and move on.
Snake Eyes (G.I. Joe)
I'm going to Wichita
Far from this opera for evermore
I'm gonna work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore
And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding
Right before the lord
All the words are gonna bleed from me
And I will sing no more
And the stains coming from my blood
Tell me go back home
He wants to go home away from the toxic drama that is happening around him, he wants to continue his hard work and devote his life to a cause or the one which he is pursuing already. He realizes that the more effort he puts he is being robbed of his health (mostly mental health). He wants to complete his work even if it kills him while he still wrestles to put his self pity behind.

Freude, schöner Götterfunken,
Tochter aus Elysium, Wir betreten feuertrunken, Himmlische, dein Heiligtum! Deine Zauber binden wieder Was die Mode streng geteilt*; Alle Menschen werden Brüder* Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt. Wem der große Wurf gelungen Eines Freundes Freund zu sein; Wer ein holdes Weib errungen Mische seinen Jubel ein! Ja, wer auch nur eine Seele Sein nennt auf dem Erdenrund! Und wer's nie gekonnt, der stehle Weinend sich aus diesem Bund! Freude trinken alle Wesen An den Brüsten der Natur; Alle Guten, alle Bösen Folgen ihrer Rosenspur. Küsse gab sie uns und Reben, Einen Freund, geprüft im Tod; Wollust ward dem Wurm gegeben und der Cherub steht vor Gott. Froh, wie seine Sonnen fliegen Durch des Himmels prächt'gen Plan Laufet, Brüder, eure Bahn, Freudig, wie ein Held zum siegen. Seid umschlungen, Millionen! Diesen Kuß der ganzen Welt! Brüder, über'm Sternenzelt Muß ein lieber Vater wohnen. Ihr stürzt nieder, Millionen? Ahnest du den Schöpfer, Welt? Such' ihn über'm Sternenzelt! Über Sternen muß er wohnen. |
Joy, beautiful spark of the gods,
Daughter from Elysium, We enter, drunk with fire, Heavenly One, thy sanctuary! Your magic binds again What convention strictly divides;* All people become brothers,* Where your gentle wing abides. Who has succeeded in the great attempt, To be a friend's friend, Whoever has won a lovely woman, Add his to the jubilation! Indeed, who calls even one soul Theirs upon this world! And whoever never managed, shall steal himself Weeping away from this union! All creatures drink of joy At nature's breast. Just and unjust Alike taste of her gift; She gave us kisses and the fruit of the vine, A tried friend to the end. [Even] the worm has been granted sensuality, And the cherub stands before God! Gladly, as His heavenly bodies fly On their courses through the heavens, Thus, brothers, you should run your race, Joyful, like a hero going to conquest. You millions, be embraced. This kiss is for all the world! Brothers, above the starry canopy There must dwell a loving Father. Do you fall in worship, you millions? World, do you know your creator? Seek him in the heavens Above the stars must He dwell. |
The author invites everyone to celebrate and be joyful in paradise\HEAVEN. i.e Elysium.
"to the Elysian plain…where life is easiest for men. No snow is there, nor heavy storm, nor ever rain, but ever does Ocean send up blasts of the shrill-blowing West Wind that they may give cooling to men.— Homer, Odyssey"
Elysium (film) Max undertakes a dangerous mission to the luxurious space station inhabited by the rich to save his own life. His journey results in the end of injustice and brings equality to the people on earth.
He sees heaven as a powerful place filled with people of all caste and creed and race, living in harmony. He sees that love is the binding force there.
He wants everyone to be part of the jubilee , he wants everyone to take part in the success of others even they do not know each other, in short - he wants everyone to celebrate the success of humanity. Whoever misses out on this union is stealing himself of greater joy.
He calls on everyone present, man , woman, child, beast to celebrate in the kingdom. He asks them to feel the joy of this wonderful kingdom where there are no troubles. The essence of this kingdom is addicting and liberating to all, without any discrimination.
Just like the solar system and other planetary objects that are constantly in their path, revolving around the sun \ other objects majestically and gracefully , so should we complete our race called life by trying to make our journeys more fulfilling and work towards building Elysium\heaven.
The author asks us to search for reason and believe in a higher power to reach greatness for humanity. Above the dreamy Elysium there is God who wants us to reach him in the process we would have achieved what he set out for us. i.e Living peacefully among each other and making progress together as one species.

Trivia: James Bond Movie - Skyfall (Theme song)
Song Interpretation:
This is the end
Hold your breath and count to ten
Feel the earth move and then
Hear my heart burst again
For this is the end
I’ve drowned and dreamt this moment
So overdue I owe them
Swept away, I’m stolen
Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together
Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together
At skyfall
At skyfall
Skyfall is where we start
A thousand miles and poles apart
Where worlds collide and days are dark
You may have my number, you can take my name
But you’ll never have my heart
Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together
Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together
At skyfall
Where you go I go
What you see I see
I know I’d never be me
Without the security
Of your loving arms
Keeping me from harm
Put your hand in my hand
And we’ll stand
Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together
Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together
At skyfall
Let the sky fall
We will stand tall
At skyfall
Character is at the end of some sort of a peaceful phase in her life and she is bracing for a storm that is about to come. She is ready , her heart is ready. She has undergone much preparation for the moment that matters and which is coming, it would be a shame now if it doesn't occur. She wants to dissolve in the moment and be it and own it.
When the storm begins she wants to stand strong along with her partner(s), even though it seems impossible and the faintest of chances that they will pull through the storm - she still believes in her and her partners. The storm might be the government or some mafia - she is aware of their dirty deeds in the dark and what happens to people who question against their authority. She is also aware that she is being tracked by them but has not fallen prey for their propaganda, her heart is still in the right place, having the courage to resist.
She knows that standing against something this big is not possible alone, so she calls upon her partners to stand with her and resist the storm together.

Song: Dream On
Artist: Aerosmith
Source: TV
Trivia: The main riff and chorus of the song were sampled in the 2002 song "Sing for the Moment" by rapper Eminem on The Eminem Show that also features a solo from Joe Perry.
Every time when I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone
It went by, like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got the dues in life to pay
I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody sin
You got to lose to know how to win
The character in the song is reflecting on life and how age has begun
to show its impact on his day to day life. He is feeling the he has
found his purpose in life. He is not bothered about the past where he
spent days searching for the purpose and how he go side tracked by all
the responsibilities that life threw at him.
He does not know how life works or has anybody figured it out. The sin
here is ignorance, i.e how everyone chooses to ignore why the important questions of life.
All we can do is try to understand, even though we have failed to answer it,
we have still won it because each time we fail, we learn more about life and ourselves.

Half my life
Is books written pages
Live and learn from fools and
From sages
You know it's true, oh
All these things you do come back to you
Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears
Sing with me, just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good lord will take you away
Yeah, sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing with me, just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream until your dreams come true

comes from both fools and wise-men\ wise-women. He tells that Anything that is learnt will not go to waste,
everything will be useful someday. Till then keep doing the best, cause honestly that is the only thing
we can do. Anticipate and prepare -while you also celebrate each day until your demise.

Song interpretation of "Senza un perché \ Without a reason" by Nada
Song: Senza un perché (Italian song)
Artist:Nada (singer)
Source:The Young Pope
Lei non parla mai
Lei non dice mai niente
Ha bisogno d’affetto
E pensa che il mondo non sia solo questo
Non c’è niente di meglio
Che stare ferma dentro a uno specchio
Come è giusto che sia
Quando la sua testa va giù
E tutta la vita
Gira infinita senza un perché
E tutto viene dal niente
E niente rimane senza di te
Lei non parla mai
Lei non dice mai niente
Non è poi così strano se chiede perdono
E non ha fatto niente
Non c’è niente di meglio che stare in silenzio
E pensare al meglio
Ha un’estate leggera che qui ancora ancora non c’è
E tutta la vita
Gira infinita
Senza un perché
E tutto viene dal niente
Niente rimane senza di te
E tutta la vita gira infinita
Senza un perché
E tutto viene dal niente e niente rimane senza di te
Lei non parla mai
Lei non dice mai niente
English Translation With Interpretation
Without a reason
She never speaks
She never says anything
She needs love
And she thinks the world isn’t just that
That there is nothing better
Than staying still in the mirror
Which is how things should be
When you feel down
And the whole life
Goes on endlessly without a reason
And everything comes from nothing
And nothing remains without you
The character in the song is sad, she is bruised and hurt probably by her past love or she has lost someone \ something precious she has involuntarily taken an oath of silence. She believes the world is a horid place where nothing good happens, she sees the world through sad glasses. On the surface she is calm and none of the people in her life notice the ever deepening hole in her soul, which can be filled only by love. She pretends to be ok and reflects the characters that people want to see in her but
she has closed core and her thoughts that truly make her. She thinks by doing this she can get past in life through various sorrows of life, being numb is what she wants to be - so that no amount of sadness in the world can affect her.
She never speaks
She never says a thing
It’s not strange if she asks for forgiveness
And she did nothing
There is nothing better than being silent
And she hopes for the best
For a light summer that hasn’t come yet
And the whole life
Goes on endlessly
Without a reason
And everything comes from nothing
Nothing remains without you
And the whole life goes on endlessly
Without a reason
And everything comes from nothing and nothing remains without you
Apart from being silent she is in self doubt about herself. She does not seek to hurt anyone at the same time wants to be isolated. She has become submissive like a trained robot developed to perform multiple tasks with no emotion. She hopes that by being silent and continuing this life style she can make the world better, or at the least not make it worse.
She knows that her past memories will not occur again and she has no other option but to make new ones, which she feels is a long shot as she has come away from being herself and partly immune to not only the sad things that are occurring now but also the good things.

Song Interpretation of "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zepplin
Song: Stairway to Heaven
Artist: Led Zeppelin
Trivia: Jimmy Page has often likened the song to a sonic orgasm
Source: Parents
Interpretation
There's a lady who's sure
All that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for
Oh oh oh oh and she's buying a stairway to heavenThe character's story here is to get to heaven, but she has been misguided
about the path to get there. She believes in illogical ways to get there.
This may be a reference to the way the Evangelists preach the ministry of
prosperity. The part where they say, donate gold\money\anything possible to
them and God will return you N times. There are also evangelists who sell
things in the name of god. Ex: A cut-out key of the size of a clock, which
is blessed by the lord and you can hang it in your home to keep your home safe.
This is nothing new, these things can be found in almost all religions.
Back in the middle ages the Church used to sell bonds for the redemption of sins.
So the lady here has fallen to the pattern where she leads a wrongful life
and is aware of it and to comfort her guilt she is buying her
forgiveness by spending money on things that she thinks will wash her sins.
(Like the ones mentioned above.) She is pretty confident that her ways will
open the doors to heaven.
There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook
There's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiving
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it makes me wonder
But amidst all this she feels a sense of doubt, like how much truth exists in
her thinking. On deeper introspection the doubt on her method to get to heaven
seems misguided and appalling.
There's a feeling I get
When I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who standing looking
She is thinking about the time she has left in this world, if it is too late?
She wants to leave this place, but unsure where she will end up as for sure
she knows that her ways has no place in heaven. She is clouded by confusion
through all the thoughts that were put in her mind by the people who sold her
the wrong paths. Her mind is becoming denser like the ever growing wild grown
forest the thoughts growing uncontrollably and crowding her judgement ,
she sees the author of each thought and false statement told to her but they
just watch in silence as they know that she has awakened from all the their
deceit.
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it really makes me wonder
And it's whispered that soon, If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May queen
Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on
And it makes me wonder
If we make an attempt to listen to the voice of reason, we can drive ourselves
out of misery and all the false beliefs that we collect through life. Only on
clear thought and good actions, good will - will we be able to fill our minds
with positive feelings and laughter.
While doing the above, you may feel that your comfort zone is being violated -
meaning there will be changes to the way you live your life, you may have
to compromise on certain things but it is all of no harm - it is aimed
to build your character. It is a long process and time consuming , at every
cornor or turn there is a chance that you can miss the way and end up in
the very path you set out to leave or end up in the same path where the lady was.
Your head is humming and it won't go
In case you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind
Here the actual path to heaven is being described to the lady. The way to
heaven is by prayer i.e the whispering wind. Prayer is a reflection of
your thoughts, through prayer and efforts in this case good acts the
gates to heaven will open.
The ancient Egyptians believed that when they died, they went to the Hall of Death, where Anubis weighed their heart against the feather. You can see a similar scene in the TV series American Gods
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
And she's buying the stairway to heaven
As time passes by each day, the lady's life almost coming to an end;
she has two parts now - the dark side which she left , and the life
after finding her new path. She is aware of the true higher power now \
logic of reason - which truly has the power to turn anything
to gold- meaning do the impossible. If she keeps traversing in this path
and builds her thoughts on foundation of logic and reason she would
truly be able to buy the stairway to heaven.

Song: Just the Two of Us
Band: Bill Withers
Trivia: Will Smith did a cover of this song with some Rap.
Source: Cover by the "Piano around the world" youtube channel (At the end of this post)
Interpretation
I see the crystal raindrops fall
And the beauty of it all
Is when the sun comes shining through
To make those rainbows in my mind
When I think of you sometime
And I want to spend some time with you
Just the two of us
We can make it if we try
Just the two of us
Just the two of us
Building castles in the sky
Just the two of us
You and I
This song talks about how the character is looking back in time
about the times which he spent with his then friend. These memories
evoke a sense of peacefulness and serenity in his mind. He wants to
live in those memories again. He is aware that if he wants to be
with her again and it is sort of impossible \ dangerous but he still believes
that there is a chance. He wants to continue from where they left off,
and wants to kick of all the crazy plans they had made when they
were together and not be bothered about anyone or anything.
Bonnie and Clyde were American criminals who traveled the central United States with their gang during the Great Depression, robbing people and killing when cornered or confronted.
We look for love no time for tears
Wasted water's all that is
And it don't make no flowers grow
Good things might come to those who wait
Not for those who wait too late
We gotta go for all we know
And darling when the morning comes
And I see the morning sun
I want to be the one with you.
Crying over the past is not gonna help and self pity is not
going to blossom into something better. (So either he has found
someone new and better than his ex-lover\friend or that he wants
to get back with old friend.)
whatever it is , he wants the other person very much, to give their love
a chance so that it can blossom into something good, pure and clear
like the crystal rain drops - reflecting and emitting good things
from the inner core of their relationship while casting a delight
for others.

Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone

I think the character is talking about the hardships which he is going through to overcome an addiction. Due to his addiction he has no friends all his ties with others are severed. All he has left are the fellows who are in this addiction. He feels lonely. He wants to wade through this misery by taking
the path which is lonely, he knows that it will take effort and pain to detox but he still wants to do it
even though there is no one to cheer him in this path, he is still managing to drag himself forward.
But he is been lurked by his shadow which is the temptation to go back to the addiction. It is right there following him in his every action constantly waiting to possess him. He knows that his heart is weak and prone to attack but he has a hope that it is capable of carrying out what he has set his mind upon. He wishes that the people who once cared about him will return back in his life and encourage him to completely set out of this addiction.
In this movie Jim, a kid with basketball skills gets hooked to cocaine but with the help of Reggie ,
an older neighborhood friend with whom Jim "picked up a game" now and
then, he is able to begin the long journey back to sanity.
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line of the edge
And where I walk alone
Read between the lines
What's fucked up and every thing's all right
Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive
And I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk alone
I walk alone and I walk a
While walking this path he feels that his waking on the edge with no support and alone, knowing that one small misstep could make all the effort go in vain. He is aware of the things around and he knows how people perceive him this causes him to rage and go back to the old ways but he is well aware of the stakes , so he continues to walk in this path and overcome the shadow of addiction.
This song can be interpreted as the character trying to overcome the addiction\ depression.
