CineMuerte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whatever you think they can feel
They're real
Steal their heart as a piece of meat
They're tainted with blood
The man's will
Through passion
Is god there
While we
We share the air?
God
We're doing it, all we can
We're sending the planes
And the bombs up
To the air
Bombs will dance
In the air tonight
What a hell of a night
We share
In the air
Now you're waving goodbye
Goodbye
Your cold haunting eyes
Will kill us all
Through passion
Your time will come through
Is god there
While we
We share the air?
God
We're doing it, all we can
We're sending the planes
And the bombs up
To the air
Bombs will dance
In the air tonight
What a hell of a night
We share
In the air
I love you
I'll kill you
God
We're doing it, all we can
We're sending the planes
And the bombs up
To the air
Bombs will dance
In the air tonight
What a hell of a night
We share
In the air
The opening lines, "All the women the child you see, Whatever you think they can feel, They're real," suggest that women and children are often seen as less than full human beings, despite the fact that they experience emotions and suffer in the same way as anyone else. The next lines, "Steal their heart as a piece of meat, They're tainted with blood, The man's will," suggest that women are often reduced to sexual objects and victims of violence, especially in the context of male desire and male violence.
The chorus, "Through passion, Your time will come through, Is god there, While we, We share the air?" seems to question the existence of a higher power in the face of human passion and suffering. The repeated reference to sharing the air suggests that we are all connected and share the same fate, regardless of our individual actions.
The second verse shifts to a more explicit reference to war and violence, with lines like "We're sending the planes and the bombs up to the air, Bombs will dance in the air tonight, What a hell of a night we share in the air." The repetition of "God, we're doing it all we can" suggests that the singer is trying to justify the violence they are involved in by appealing to a higher power, while also acknowledging the extent of the destruction they are causing.
Overall, the song seems to be a reflection on the dehumanizing effects of violence, especially as it is perpetrated against women and children, and the tension between human desire and a higher moral order. The use of the phrase "we share the air" throughout the song suggests that we are all in this together, whether we like it or not.

@Ricardo Pais Desde logo, faço notar que o meu comentário tem 9 (NOVE) anos....
Depois, desejo fazer-te notar a tua grossa ignorância.
Então, é assim: a mãe do D. Afonso Henriques não era espanhola porque a Espanha só passou a existir mais de 300 anos depois do Afonsinho nascer... Ela era Leonesa que era o reino que aqui existia então. E, vê lá bem a coisa, ela até nasceu na Póvoa de Lanhoso. Quanto ao Conde D. Henrique, também não era francês porque a Borgonha só foi integrada em França séculos depois. Calculo que andes para aí a dizer que o Júlio César era italiano e gostava muito de lasagna...
Exercício (pode ter consequências graves para o cérebro):
Se a mãe do D. Afonso Henriques era "espanhola" e nascida no Condado Portucalense e se o D. Afonso Henriques nasceu no mesmo sítio, então, o bom do Afonso também era... "espanhol", certo?
De qualquer maneira, mas que porra é que os pais do nosso primeiro rei têm a ver com o nome de uma banda rock no séc. XXI ???!!! (repetir "mas que porra" 20 vezes)
Depois, o que é um nome "latino"? Os Mão Morta têm um nome latino, certo? Ou a tua ignorância também acha que "latino" é quem fala castelhano? Parece que apresentas um nome francês como alternativa a um nome "latino"... Menos TV americana, aconselha-se!
"Racismo literário"? Repara - e aqui, da ignorância já passamos à pura idiotice -, o que tu quererias dizer não seria "racismo linguístico"? É que estamos a falar de um nome e não de um livro...
Finalmente, não é "precisastes", é "precisaste"!!!
Pergunta: não tinhas feito muito melhor em teres ficado "calado", em vez de fazeres figuras tristes?
