FF - Bullets for Brains

[TheHeroforchrist]

Roland Orzabal is amazing :)

[johnartmaster]

very nice job!!!

[sad2002]

Gem of an album!!! What a marvelous singer. I have at least 5 favorite tracks! I bought the CD last week from Amazon but this is becoming my #1 track!!!

Thanks YouTube and RO fans for sharing and allowing me to discover Tomcats Screaming Outside!

[SpokesmanFortheCloak]

Terrific song.

[xxRoberts]

roland es un genio

[Nix2709]

Just wanted to say I always liked this song, and great montage! Nice job

[earlymtv]

do sucides go to hell. roland doesnt think so.

[driftingtheworld]

dude we all will become 1 particle then nothing... do yourself a favor and smell the roses while

you can.. enjoy life... my god!

[art4life4me]

Seems to be about religious fanaticism--the character here isn't mainstream anything, and is clearly crazy. (He's got a rocket ship--SURE.)

[depechemodevilla]

excellent song. write more like this roland!!

[debray05]

What exactly do YOU think "Bullets for Brains" means? Does it a metaphor for something or do you think Roland would consider putting bullets in someone's brain? It's art, much like the Bible...subject to interpretation.....Just wondered what you thought.....

[Butterflyneverlands]

Roland is the best!!!

[phmag2001]

Great track but what is this song about exactly?

A hit at atheism or religion?

Replacing the word "atheists" with any religious group would've landed him in very hot water.

[genet13]

@phmag2001 A hit at religion and its propensity towards mental illness and fanaticism.

[jerryruval]

Excellent mash-vid!! I think this track could've also made a great end-credits song for "Constantine". 5 stars!!

[mkbadger]

What is the spoken line "I live a very modest life, I'm happy with it" all about? :-o

[Waspinator9063]

Is the line "I live a very modest life," or is it "I live a very obvious lie"? I've never been certain.

As to the meaning of the line... there's a definite theist slant in the lyrics to this song. I don't know how it can apply to that line though. D:

[genet13]

@Waspinator9063 "Theist slant" is actually atheist satire in Roland's case. The entire song is about a deranged Christian fundamentalist's worldview.

[swetbabo]

You have it exactly...

"I live a very modest life. I'm happy with it."

I think RO means exactly that about his life.

Love this song, one of my favorites by RO.

[mkbadger]

I agree with what you say but is it RO's voice or is it sampled from a film?

[ajittffcure]

It's Roland's voice.

[mkbadger]

Thanks ;-)

@mkbadger .When one gets rid of mental restrictions( wanting to controll one s life by planning everything...),one can be open toward transcendance( open towards something that surpasses us,god if you wish).To do that ,one has to let go of mental certitudes( and therefore become MODEST,getting rid if pride and ego).Bullets are therefore aimed at the brain( which is what seperates us from transcendance,or god if you wish...)Having fate in life s power...Getting rid of the atheist in us....

[rolandorme]

@mkbadger I'm sure he says "I live a very modest life, I'm happy with it" Knowing Rolands biting remarks he has made in other songs, I'd say its in retort to someone else's comment they made to him that peed him off!!

[sourgirl1964]

An amazing song from an amazing album! In a word, PERFECT!

[realnoid]

Bullets for Brains-matches the guy I see in the elevator @Penn South. Yeah, I see him all the

time...dyed black hair, looks straight from re-hab and a real "Low Life".

[SugiRok]

beautiful! thak you and I love TFF and Roland specialy

[Tonerama8]

Great job, Waspinator! That's one of our favorite "Tomcats" tracks, AND we're FF nerds. An inspired effort and an appropriate combo.

[alyssaaa07]

I want TFF's The Hurting too!!!

[alyssaaa07]

I want this freakin' album!!!!

[radabaughxi]

Funk the last comment. If you are a TFF fan and a FF fan than this vid rocks. It's like TFF, Tears Final Fantansy. All FF games that I love were included and the best band ever had a great song (although after the break up.)  Tomcats screaming outside was this album. $hit, this vid was awesome.

[fdec5]

Nice job!!! Roland Orzabal is the bomb...excellent song choice!

[andrew1ender]

This really could of worked with any fast-paced song, but it still worked. Added to favorites. I like.
