Funk Thompson:
Scott Rockwood writes some freaking amazing lyrics:
Cycle of Creation
Boy and his gun, sorceress and her wand huddled under the stoop
of a bridge for the freight train above
Rain falls down on the carcasses around of buildings that have turned to dust
Boy drums on his plate and sings her a song of worlds moved on, pieces of puzzles to solve
she puts her wand in the ash and persuades a small fire
they danced all night out in the rain showers.
They sang songs of worlds they dreamed, danced through the puddles;
the stories and puddles grew,
flames took on shapes as the pools seeped in, the steam of their union took journey on the wind.
Clouds carrying fables to inspire new lands, to build new empires and watch them wash back into sand.
Remnants sing songs of worlds they've dreamed, unaware their dreams become Adam and Eve.
Must Be Nice - seems to be a song about greedy, corporate, uncaring bastards. Not republicans, as commonly believed ;)
Must be nice, you look satisfied, the whole world cries for you. Must be nice.
Must be nice, to be the early bird, get the worm. Must be nice.
What you don't know, what you don't face comes creeping up behind you.
Must be nice to not care, not care at all about your world. Must be nice.
Must be great to drive so fast and never be late. Must be great.
Must be a rush, leave 'em in the dust, run 'em off the road. Must be a rush.
What you don't know, what you don't face comes creeping up behind you.
Must be nice to not care, not care at all about your world. Must be nice.
Must be fun bankin' in the sun, time is money. Must be fun.
Must be a hoot stashin' all the loot; greedy man shoots. Must be a hoot.
What you don't know, what you don't face comes creeping up behind you.
Must be nice to not care, not care at all about your world. Must be nice.
Johnny Walker
Don't have the complete lyrics to this, yet, but this is a wonderfully dark yet fun little romp about alcohol... "Old Johnny Walker had a whore for an angel, she was out drinking when the devil came to town. There's blood on the porch to ward off the evil don't you know that the devil is a back door man."
Consequence
Probably one of their "edgiest" songs, the lyrics again not published yet... the chorus is about all I know for sure, "Consequence... in itself a defense... what's done is done smoke has cleared from my gun, you never deny you were willing, to pay the devil his due." The guitar work is... phenomenal.
And, no video of this one, but "Lucky Day" / AKA "Son of a Gun"... I believe... the intro is fantastic: "Somewhere between what the hell, and holy shit, and I won't ever hear the end of it... you had to do it and now it's done, you... son of a gun, yeah, I know it hurts. But the name you got called is the name you deserve."
Funk Thompson:
To the OP:
--- Quote ---I was following the pack
all swallowed in their coats
with scarves of red tied ’round their throats
to keep their little heads
from fallin’ in the snow
And I turned ’round and there you go
And, Michael, you would fall
and turn the white snow red as strawberries
in the summertime
--- End quote ---
I interpret songs logically, not visually, so no "imagery" per se... I think about someone trying to break away from the herd, said herd being the "normal people" who choose to be normal to be safe. The protagonist is trying to set themselves apart, then they look to follow someone else - someone "different" - and that someone else ends up being a bad choice, or causing them to go down a bad path.
That's my take on it.
