Note the description of this formulated music could almost be applied to propaganda. If I'm doing my job then it's your resolve that breaks" It uses layer one's particular example of corruption to refer to selling out ones ideals and values in general, using the music industry only as an example. Layer two I feel is the more interesting of the two. Layer one speaks of the corruption of the music industry and how he and his fans are sellouts who give in to dumbed-down, manufactured music as long as it's catchy rather than listening to ballads with true meaning and substance. I feel this song has two layers of meaning. mentioning that he played with phish a band with little emphasis on the lyrics makes me look at the song as being less critical of the pop industry. A rather obscure song that i remember from a kid that i listen to now and realize how right popper really is that lyrics arent as important as the sound. It's interesting that he speaks this part rather quickly as if to assume that it doesnt matter how important his words are the audience just wnats to get to the hook. The structure of the song is important to notice becasue right after he makes the peter pan reference (the first meaningful lyric in the song) the band bursts into the solo and then the final verse which says all he really wants to say. It shows how the hook of a song brings you back just like Captain hook brought peter back to never never land. The most interesting part of the song is the allusion to peter pan. second it has criticism of pop music today and MTV's part in the cheapening of art. if the song sounded bad and had great lyrics it would never be as popular. The point of the song is that it doesnt matter what this song is about or any song is about as long as it has a good hook.
one that in music lyrics arent necesarilly essential if you are a good musican.
I wanna burn of all your cities to the groundĪnd when I'm feeling stuck and need a buck I'll do as I'll decide and let it ride till until I've died Sure but also rage and hate and pain and fear of selfĪnd I can't keep these feeling on the shelfĬould be financial suicide but I've got too much pride inside The hook brings you back (brings you back) If I'm doing my job then it's your resolve that breaksīecause the hook brings you back (brings you back) Some day the clock will run down, and then he’ll get you.And I can keep it up for as long as it takes But by some lucky chance he swallowed a clock-Īnd it goes on – tick, tock, tick – within him and so, before he can reach me I hear the tick. Well, I want no such compliments! Smee, that crocodile would have got me long ere this if he could have crept upon me unawares. He liked me hand so much that he has followed me ever since – from land to land, from sea to sea, he follows the ship, licking his lips for the rest of me. Not of crocodiles, but of that one crocodile. I have often noticed your strange dread of crocodiles.
Yet I have oft heard you say your hook was worth a score of hands – for combing the hair, and other homely uses.Īye, Smee, if I were a mother, I would pray that me children be born with this.īut Pan flung me hand to a crocodile that happened to be passing by. Oh, I have waited long to shake hands with him with this. Most of all I want their captain, Peter Pan. Split me the infinitives, but ’tis me hour of triumph!Īt last I’ve reached me peak! I’m the greatest villain of all time. Compare with them the captive children on this boat. Now is the hours when children in their homes are a-bed – their lips bright- browned with the goodnight chocolate, and their tongues drowsily searching for belated crumbs housed insecurely on their shining cheeks.
