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
by Emma Henderson on 5/18/2008 6:03pm 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.
