Electric Blue
|
The song I chose for my project is “Behind Blue Eyes” by The Who. The song was written about a man who had a lot expected of him and was always under pressure. However, the song could also mean the opposite. It could be about someone who has little expected of them or is oppressed. It could be about someone who wants to break his boundaries. I feel that the lines: “No one knows what it's like to be hated, to be fated to telling only lies” really tie in to Tom Robinson’s trial. He was deeply hated for something he didn’t do and was expected not be set free, therefore fated to a life of lies. Even though not everyone has blue eyes, this song could relate to anyone described in my theme. I’m very glad I found and chose this song. (Click the "play" button below to listen to it) Lyrics:
No one knows what it's like To be the bad man To be the sad man Behind blue eyes No one knows what it's like To be hated To be fated To telling only lies But my dreams They aren't as empty As my conscience seems to be I have hours, only lonely My love is vengeance That's never free No one knows what it's like To feel these feelings Like I do And I blame you No one bites back as hard On their anger None of my pain and woe Can show through But my dreams They aren't as empty As my conscience seems to be I have hours, only lonely My love is vengeance That's never free When my fist clenches, crack it open Before I use it and lose my cool When I smile, tell me some bad news Before I laugh and act like a fool If I swallow anything evil Put your finger down my throat If I shiver, please give me a blanket Keep me warm, let me wear your coat No one knows what it's like To be the bad man To be the sad man Behind blue eyes |
