Lord Of The Flies Lyrics
Artist: Iron Maiden
Album: X Factor
I don't care for this world anymore
I just want to live my own fantasy
Fate has brought us to these shores
What was meant to be is now happening
I've found that I like this living in danger
Living on edge it makes feel as one
Who cares now what's right or wrong,
it's reality
Killing so we survive
Wherever we may roam
Wherever we may hide
We've got to get away
I don't want existence to end
We must prepare ourselves for the elements
I just want to feel like we're strong
We don't need a code of morality
I like all the mixed emotion and anger
It brings out the animal the power you can feel
And feeling so high on this much adrenalin
Excited but scary to believe what we've become
Saints and sinners
Something within us
We are lord of flies
Saints and sinners
Something willing us
To be lord of the flies

Comments/Interpretations
This relates to Freud's theory of the id, the ego and the super ego.
The id is the desire without thought. The ego is wanting those desires but not so much so that you can't see past those desires, you also consider the consequences your actions would have on your self and you do not consider others. The super ego thinks not just about them selves but others as well and what is socially acceptable and what is not. They tend to look ahead and consider what they are doing. The super ego still has desires but is able control them. The super ego and the id are completely opposite. In LOTF Jack is the id, Ralph is the ego and Piggy is the super ego. Freud's theory is that the id in us takes over the ego and the super ego in us when we are isolated and taken away from civilization. This song shows this exactly.
I think this song is about how the world is going very slowly to an end.
Now we need to be ourself and be aware of the future.
Peace.
wow thats quite looked into. (if that means anything in english)
it has to do with the evil within mankind...if u read the book lord of the flies you will understand the song quite easily...
This song is nice and if you ever read the book the Lord of the Flies or seen or read the movie/book The Mist it really speaks of what happens if you take away rules and guidelines.
this is about the book 'lord of the flies' of william golding !
I think this song is telling people that it's time to get all selfish, evil and brutal to survive in this life. So he compared the human beings to flies...
It's about the book
"Lord of Flies" is sometimes used as a synonym for Satan. It would come from the Hebrew word Beelzebub.
Clearly about the book.
yea its about lotf
but the book is alludes lots of religos theory, and messages about personall idenity and human nature
William Golding is a god amongst men.
its based on the fantastic book/movie 'Lord of the Flies'
it is a must read!
Lof man
Wow, nobody knows anything unless they have been in Mr. Shank's 9th grade Enlglish class. This is completely about the id, ego, and super ego and the psychoanalytic theories. The book is filled with these concepts and so is this songs. People should read the book, and if you have, I highly reccomend looking up Sigmund Freud and his concepts and theories. It's amazing how many allusions there are and how much it relates.
m/m/m/.........superb....up the IRONS.....m/m/m/
it's rubbish!
- Also, it bairs soooo little resemblance to the book - 'Bored of the Fies'!!!!
theres a book named lord of the flies so this is probably about the book
this book is shit
this song is the most amazing ever. so is the book. =]
this song is wrong
its not what happend its not what we felt
and we didnt wana leave...ever
hahahaa
Great song when im doing my English lit revision for the exam on tuesday. Up the irons!
The Lord of the flies is the name of the demon beelzebub who is often confused to be satan, but it's one of the most powerful demons alongside of satan. The whole idea of the lord of the flies book ... the self-governing, look at the religious and morals implied. In essence, this song "who cares what's right and wrong"... "saints and sinners, something willing us to be the lord of the flies"
They are definitely not talking about the book when they're saying that last part...something willing us TO BE the lord of the flies. Not to be like the "idea" not to be like the characters from the books. But TO BE the lord of the flies. Google Beelzebub.
this song is extremaly super duper gagalishious
:DD thank you 2 emma henderson. i used ur comment on my school report and it got me an A!! :DDD
thank you so much! XD
One of the best songs ever.
Not sure if I like Bruce or Blaze version best though.
yes, it is about the book, Lord of the Flies, by William Golding.
Google it if you want to know more about it :)
"One of the best songs ever" [2]
Golding told us about "the evil that is inside us", human beings. The book and the movie are amazing, like the music.
This helped mw with a paper
lol "the lord of flies" is my favorite book
its based on the book, not freud or satan.
as Belzebub iz litteraly translated to greek "Lord of the flies"...and the story is more or less similar to the revelations
Excellent movie, haven't read the book yet. The Iron Maiden Lyrics has a strong proclaimation of how a human turns into wolf. Great! Many thanks to Sir William Golding who gifted a great story to the mankind.
one of the excelent piece of litreture. Degredation of human soul n animial instinct in present in everyhuman beings. Humans so called a "nobel beast". In times of adversity humans tends to be react worse than animals.
okay really? this song may be about the book, but the book sucked so instead of trying to analyze the lyrics or talk about your freaken ideas about Frued how about you up the irons and shut the fuck up about anything other than the song.
I thought I can’t pretend not to reply you since you’ve got this exasperating yet powerful combination of words forming a sentence to make a shriek of baby demanding attention. That’s good anyway but the book is good. Hmm the book lord of the flies is good the book Lord of the Flies by Sir William Golding is good … oh! Really it’s awesome and great. Thank you. P.S Please even if you have to use a better Titled fake ID.
niggers
actually the super id is simon, hes wiser than piggy and is the one to see what was really going on in the world anmd on the island
"instead of trying to analyze the lyrics or talk about your freaken ideas about Frued how about you up the irons and shut the fuck up about anything other than the song."
But that is what the song is about, so they are talking about the song ... :) - And yes, book/film/song/whatever, it is all about the id/ego/superego which you will probably learn if you ever study psychology.
fuch you motha fuc..., wats ur problem, why the f... you think you're the best to study psychology. somebody smash this f.....
kill that somebody
its related to the movie lord of the flies...
white kids are crazy
I like lesbians.

So like im writing an english paper and i had to read these lyrics. i dont get the quastion about these that we have to answer.
