The Tower
Naked Lunch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And in the suburbs where we used to die
There's a tower standing straight up to the sky
It is you to stand here straight and all alone
The lyrics of Naked Lunch's song "The Tower" speak about a tower that stands tall from the plain fields to the mountain top. The tower seems to be a metaphorical symbol that represents something significant and powerful. The lyrics suggest that the tower represents a person who stands tall, alone and proud, amidst the mundane surroundings of the plain fields and the mountain's peak. The tower stands out from the suburbs where the people used to die, acting as a beacon of hope and inspiration.
Naked Lunch's lyrics, "It is you to stand here straight and all alone," seem to suggest that it is the individual's strength and resilience that keeps them standing tall like the tower. This interpretation is reinforced by the other lyrics in the song, "The sun goes down, but you won't give up," which suggest that despite the challenges and obstacles faced by the individual, they continue to persevere and maintain their steadfast stance.
Overall, "The Tower" speaks to the human condition and the inherent desire within us to stand tall, strong and resilient amidst the turbulence of life's challenges.

from the plain fields to the mountain top
From the lowliest places to the highest peaks
And in the suburbs where we used to die
Even in the mundane places where we feel lifeless
There's a tower standing straight up to the sky
There exists a towering symbol of authority and power
It is you to stand here straight and all alone
It is your duty to remain standing, despite being isolated and vulnerable
