While on the other hand it also has lyrics that are metaphors like "Wherever we may hide, we've got to get away" which most likely is saying wherever you may hide you can get away from the beast inside of you. Some of the last lyrics state "I like all the mixed emotion and anger it brings out the animal, the power you can feel" which probably relates to how Jack first had mixed emotions about the group but soon to become more powerful and he took over. Iron Maiden seemed to repeat the lyrics "Saints and sinners, something willing us
We are lord of the flies" Which is some what of a irrational statement. Saints who are obviously opposite of sinners also have a lord of the flies side.
I think the line - "Who cares now what's right or wrong, it's reality" - is great because it is so true to the book by the end of their journey. Who cares anymore? They've all become monsters. Even the best of them like Ralph and Piggy who contributed to Simon's death. It's their reality.
ReplyDeleteI think this point relates to how the only people who really cared about right and wrong, Simon and Piggy, have been killed by those who no longer care. In the world, there are people who can see clearly, both logically and spiritually, but if their light continues to be snuffed out, the world gets darker. Are we becoming more like those who can see or are we turning to darkness? There need to be people who do care about right and wrong, good and evil, or else the world is going to become a dark place. Ralph seemed to be the only one still caring and living by the end of the novel, and even he was about to be killed. What does this say about the current state of humanity?
