To all the people doing lines
Don’t do it, don’t do it
Inject your soul with liberty
It’s free, it’s free
To all the kids with heroin eyes
Don’t do it, don’t do it
Cause it’s not, not what it seems
Oh no it’s not, not what it seems
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free
To all the parents with sleepless nights (sleepless nights)
Tie your kids home to their beds
Clean their heads
To all the kids with heroin eyes
Don’t do it, don’t do it
Cause it’s not, not what it seems
Oh no it’s not, not what it seems
I was looking for this song cuz I used to listen to it when I was a child and sang only the chorus, 'salvation' was the only that I understood.
Now that I founded (I'm a 17yo) the lyrics totally made like wow in me, sounder cooler to me now
As someone who only had an extremely basic knowledge of The Cranberries (I admit I didn't even know Dolores' name until she died and was all over the news), it surprises me how much they'd been in-bedded into my psyche. This song, for instance, I'd heard many times without ever knowing it was theirs (until a friend shared the link a few minutes ago). It does say a lot when someone's impact on music is so deep that even people who are completely ignorant about them (i.e. myself) can recognise their work as part of their upbringing. I'm amongst the millions of people who are only starting to discover her after her untimely death and not amongst the millions who had the fortune of enjoying her talent when she was still with us, but all I can say is she was part of the soundtrack of my childhood and for that I'll always be grateful. Will be sorely missed.
Do this generation even know what rock is . This was iconic . I miss you Dolores . Your music inspired me when I first started listening to your songs as a child.
