So, I’ve found new way of cheering up if I need some break from work.
Its funny how people interpret songs. And this site called songmeanings.net is where you can read them all. Not a big fan though, I’d been listening RHCP’s latest album and wondered what really is the song “monarchy of roses” about.
This one’s pretty interesting:
To me it very obviously is about the Holy Rosary of Catholicism! Every lyric in this song (including the names)supports this theory. It also isn’t the first time the Peppers touch on religion…(think Shallow Be Thy Game, Wet Sand, etc.)
And this one also makes sense:
You could take this as a comment on the nation’s preoccupation with College Football.Hear me out.The first thing that clued me to this was the opening line. “Crimson Tide” is the mascot of the University of Alabama athletics. They also have some of the most passionate fans you will ever see.”Several of my friends wear the color of the crown.” This could point to friends who support different teams, indicated by the school colors they wear.”Mary wants to build it up… Sheri wants to tear it all back down.” This could point to one fan obsessively supporting a team, while another fan wants to see the team fail.”The Monarchy of Roses”, “We all want the rose, you know.” What team does not want to go on to win the Rose Bowl.Anyway, that’s one thought I had on it.
And here’s another interesting/funny one:
the song is about anthony’s love for motorcycles and it is told from the perspective of driving through LA with different people. “several of my best friends wear the colors of the crown”
So basically, when everyone loves a song, it doesn’t really have to mean anything specific. Its good as long as it sounds good.
