Was he missing or something?

Re: The Official Bruce Springsteen Thread
 

Yes. He took a five year Sabbatical.

Re: The Official Bruce Springsteen Thread
 

Here's a great track of his latest album...

YOU'll BE COMIN' DOWN


White roses and misty blue eyes
Red mornin's and nothin' but grey skies
A cup of coffee, your heart shot clean through
Jacket you bought me gone dazy grey-blue
You're smilin' now but you'll find out
They'll use you up and spit you out now
Your head's spinnin' in diamonds and clouds
But pretty soon it turns out



You'll be comin' down now baby
You'll be comin' down
What goes around it comes around and
You'll be comin' down

Easy street and cruel luck and true lies
Smile's as sad as those dusky blue skies
A silver plate of pearls my golden child
It's all yours at least for a little while
You'll be fine long as your pretty face holds out



Then it's gonna get pretty cold out
Endless streams of stars shootin' by
You got your hopes on high



You'll be comin' down now baby
You'll be comin' down
What goes around it comes around and
You'll be comin' down

For a while you'll go sparklin' by
Just another pretty thing on high...



Like a thief on Sunday mornin'
It all falls apart with no warnin'
Satin sky's gone candy-apple green
The crushed metal of your little flyin' machine



You'll be comin' down now baby
You'll be comin' down
What goes around it comes around and
You'll be comin' down

How does one's head spin in diamonds and clouds?

Springsteen believes lies are true?

Who is he talking to?

They'll use you up and spit you out.

What goes around, comes around and you'll be coming down.

They'll use you up and spit you out.

What is all hers for a little while as long as her pretty face holds out?

It's gonna get pretty cold out, he says.

You got your hopes on high.

Just another pretty thing on high.

The crushed metal of your little flyin' machine.

HUH??

Yeah, great track!!

The song makes perfect sense!

Re: The Official Bruce Springsteen Thread
 

Ya think maybe he was high on Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds when he wrote that?

Re: The Official Bruce Springsteen Thread
 

Makes perfect sense to me.

Here's ANOTHER great track!

LAST TO DIE

We took the highway till the road went black



We'd marked, Truth Or Consequences on our map*



A voice drifted up from the radio
And I thought of a voice from long ago



Who'll be the last to die for a mistake
The last to die for a mistake
Whose blood will spill, whose heart will break
Who'll be the last to die for a mistake





The kids asleep in the backseat
We're just counting the miles, you and me
We don't measure the blood we've drawn anymore
We just stack the bodies outside the door



Who'll be the last to die for a mistake
The last to die for a mistake
Whose blood will spill, whose heart will break
Who'll be the last to die for a mistake

The wise men were all fools, what to do

The sun sets in flames as the city burns
Another day gone down as the night turns
And I hold you here in my heart
As things fall apart



A downtown window flushed with light
"Faces of the dead at five" (faces of the dead at five)
Our martyr's silent eyes
Petition the drivers as we pass by

Who'll be the last to die for a mistake
The last to die for a mistake
Whose blood will spill, whose heart will break
Who'll be the last to die



Who'll be the last to die for a mistake
The last to die for a mistake
Darlin' your tyrants and kings fall to the same fate



Strung up at your city gates
And you're the last to die for a mistake

Re: The Official Bruce Springsteen Thread
 

You're photography work is quite impressive.

Other than that, your interpretations don't hold any water except for in your own "vivid" imagination.

There are coded messages, of course, but not many would know to whom and what he is speaking because the lyrics are too obscure.

If you're suggesting the song title "You'll Be Comin' Down" references the Twin Towers, you are suggesting Springsteen knew about this government sponsored terrorist act before it happened.

That's about the only interpretation that might hold a drop of water.

Springsteen's so-called metaphoric lyrics are very poorly presented.

Re: The Official Bruce Springsteen Thread
 

I thought Bruce was your controller/handler.

I'm simply spotlighting probable intrepretations based upon your relationship and his ties to the Order.

LIVIN' IN THE FUTURE

A letter come blowin' in
On an ill wind



Somethin' 'bout me and you
Never seein' one another again
And what I knew had come
Stars struck deaf and dumb
Like when we kissed
That taste of blood on your tongue



Don't worry, darlin'
No baby, don't you fret
We're livin' in the future
And none of this has happened yet
Don't worry, darlin'
No baby, don't you fret
We're livin' in the future
And none of this has happened yet

Woke up election day



Sky's gunpowder and shades of grey



Beneath the dirty sun
I whistle my time away



Then just about sun down
You come walkin' through town
Your boot heels clickin' like
The barrel of a pistol spinnin' round



Don't worry, darlin'
No baby, don't you fret
We're livin' in the future
And none of this has happened yet
Don't worry, darlin'
No baby, don't you fret
We're livin' in the future
And none of this has happened yet

The earth it gave away
The sea rose towards the sun
I opened up my heart to you
It got all damaged and undone



My ship Liberty sailed away



On a bloody red horizon


The groundskeeper opened the gates
And let the wild dogs run



Alone I limp through town
A lost cowboy at sundown
Got my monkey on a leash



Got my ear tuned to the ground

My faith's been torn asunder



Tell me is that rollin' thunder
Or just the sinkin' sound
Of somethin' righteous goin' under



Don't worry, darlin'
No baby, don't you fret
We're livin' in the future
And none of this has happened yet
Don't worry, darlin'
No baby, don't you fret
We're livin' in the future
And none of this has happened yet
None of this has happened yet
None of this has happened yet
None of this has happened yet
None of this has happened yet

Na na na na, na na na na-na
Na na na na, na na na na-na
Na na na na, na na na na-na
Na na na na, na na na na-na
Na na na na, na na na na-na
Na na na na, na na na na-na
Na na na na, na na na na-na

Bruce Springsteen is insane! :-o
