Quote:

Mortal coil is a poetic term for the troubles of daily life and the strife and suffering of the world. It is used in the sense of a burden to be carried or abandoned. To "shuffle off this mortal coil" is to die, exemplified in the "To be, or not to be" soliloquy in Shakespeare's Hamlet.

In your defense, Catholics don’t understand death. Or life.

And frankly fans can indeed invent intent. You do it all the time with RAC and ICP. The artists indeed didn’t see what you see in it during the creative process but art is always open to interpretation beyond the confines of any single mind including the artist’s. The common intent was to create something for others to enjoy and interpret as they see fit.

Shakespeare didn’t know about DNA when he wrote this mortal coil. Yet, somehow he did.

Nice cheap shot beta, too bad it has no legs. I always provide evidence and facts, some people just refuse to accept them. That's on them.

Not in this song he didn't, and besides "Tesla plays the tree snake." wouldn't make sense.

It’s from a famous siloguy about death and suicide.

Do you see the irony of teasing me for having taught in Japan when you’re entire life including your very unfortunate family live off your English teaching job IN JAPAN or do you need that spelled out as well?

It’s a bad song but there are worse popular songs out there. It might have the worst video of all time though, I’ll give it that.

I find it lame but kinda funny. Any time a song mentions rock n roll as a saviour of some kind it gives me a laugh and just for that i dont hate this song but i still thinks it sucks.

Before I started this job I was weak as **** and I’d still scare people who could destroy me. The difference being willing to lose a fight.

Now I’m carrying heavy **** around all the time. Just moving the fish from the walk-in to the prep-station back to the walk-in up to the line and then back to the walk-in is like moving from one apartment to another everyday and that’s not even prepping and cooking the fish.

If you could only imagine for a minute that Xanadu was terrified of four foot people with slanted eyes. Now imagine Xanadu stuck on an island filled with four foot people. I just said what I said and it was wrong, or it was taken wrong, and now it's all this.

Wrong. Shins + calves = cankles. LOL looks who's reinterpreting, getting it wrong and not using logic. How can cankle be a portmanteau of shin and ankle when not a single letter of shin is in cankle, brof?

I forgot about the "k" in "shin".

I think it is a great tune, and always enjoy it, along with their other hit, Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us, whenever I either of them.
