I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Attack ships on fire off (the) shoulder of Orion... I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain... Time to die.
Thanks. I was writing a tv show and I had an obnoxious Vegan character that I thought was over the top but you showed me that it was actually too subtle. 😀
Peter Gabriel says that this song is about examining the 'darker side' of passive-aggressive behaviors. It's a dark song that chilled me to the bone the first time I heard it. When he barks:
Don't talk back, just drive the car
Shut your mouth, I know what you are
Don't say nothing, keep your hands on the wheel
Don't turn around, this is for real
Not always sure if I was chilled imagining hearing that, or saying it.
