I'm tough - I can take it! My opinion is my opinion. I stand by it, but I guess you've taken me to be a scary Daily Fail type mass panic type of person. I'm not.
I am just (to quote Ken Barlow) "a (wo)man trying to make sense of the world".
Right.... off you go again ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK!!!
The OP clearly doesn't know what 'Hallelujah' is alleged to be about :eek:
I think I do! It's a story about love and lust giving way to domesticity and boredom(which quotes biblical stories relating to King David wooing a married woman, getting her pregnant and then killing her husband in war and also about Samson loosing all his strength when Delilah cut his hair, but is not a religious song, nor a song directly about these stories). It's about a lack of freedom, lack of sex, lack of excitment and ultimately lack of faith. No happiness on earth and a loss of hope that there is an eternal life beyond this. It's about coming to terms with pain and longing for a time that life seemed easier.
That's what I think anyway!
It's not that I don't think Many of Horror is (or could be) metaphorical, it's that the message 'When we Collide' sends out to the type of teeny fans who like the X Factor. Maybe the meaning will be lost, maybe it won't, but I still think that this song gives out a negative message to an emotionally vulnerable age group.

Some manic dalek take over your keyboard?
Let's hope you haven't put too much money on that.
