Pablo Picasso


Rated 2 Feels to me like CC is talking about liberty and freedom.

Seems like the first verse could be going in and out of a literal
interpretation of the Statue of Liberty. The fight for freedom and
democracy (as portrayed by the media) is always in the papers. When
the statue of liberty is lit, her features are very defined. go
overseas or to 3rd world countries that are suppressed, they get
treated as celebrities (so I've heard). She never bats an eye,
because she's a statue...

Mr. officer, don't try to take my freedom away, or one of us is going
to be laid out.

The second verse is referring more to the cost of freedom, and having
to fight for it constantly. Also, some people that try to rise up
against the establishments tend to get chastised and branded as
lunatics. So as he would be seen as crazy from a distance, his love
for freedom is true and though they may try to mislabel the place of
freedom and peace being a painting or fictional place, he knows in
his heart it is a very real existence.

Maybe I'm crazy, but that's what I heard.

First post I've ever made here... really diggin this site :)
