Our Interpretation of Transfusion
This page is where we give our interpretation of the lyrics of Powderfinger
songs.
This is just our opinion, like it or lump it. I think we have as much right
to do this as some wanky music critic working for a poxy music magazine.
Go to
Change the Tide - written by Ian Haug and Bernard Fanning.
This song is about drugs, it is quite obvious - "my will is gone, my resolve is dry". "And there's anger in her veins" - an obvious reference to shooting
up heroin.
The
line "I'd rather do without than wrap my love around a woman I don't understand"
is a statement about their love for simple chicks.
"I
know I'm not too late, I may have left it till tomorrow, but I'm not old
and grey?" is their excuse for being lax. Obviously this lyric was written
a long time ago (only joking).
Blind
to Reason - written by Bernard Fanning.
This
song is quite simply about cricket and a conflict with the umpire. Bernie
has been given out by the umpire, but doesn't want to accept it.
"Lessons
learned Serve you well" - lessons learnt on the cricket field.
"The
arrow flies To its defeat" - this is refering to the umpires finger, declaring
Bernie out.
"You
have no courage and you fear the truth" - the other team has bribed the
umpire, they fear finding out that they are no good. The umpire doesn't
have the courage to stand up and say Bernie isn't out.
"The
eyes of revolution are watching you" - Bernie thinks the rest of Powderfinger
are going to rebel and stand up for him and say he isn't out.
