This is a song written, and performed by my current obsession,
Adam Cohen. I completely
adore it, as I do the rest of his
music, but of course I'm extremely biased. This is what
he said about it:
"The one song not based on
personal experience, it's written to O.J. Simpson,
Pinochet,
Ceaucescu, and all the other tyrants who've gotten what they had coming."
I don't actually like his description of the song. I prefer to apply my own, more intricately detailed context to the lyrics, because his leaves something to be
desired.
This is actually quite a common phrase that people use in reference to those who think they are
invulernable, that they simply can't be touched. It's used when these
people realize that this just isn't so.
"Look how the mighty have fallen".
