Guest Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 Such an amazing cut, but the title doesn't click with me... What's it mean? The imagry of the live performance didn't have anything to do with that part of the world, nor do the lyrics. Someone help me out here!PS. It's such a wicked track! K, I'm done.

WarOfRoses2001 Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 Actually, if you look into the history of the country of Madagascar, the lyrics fit quite well.During World War 2, Hitler planned to use Madagascar as an island where he would kill Jews. Thousands of gas chambers were planned for the island.Also, Madagascar was home to many of the Slaves that Europeans took under their control(hence the Martin Luther King, Jr. segments in the interlude).

Damian Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 its not about ww2 its about freedom and human rights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gcam Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 It could be about many things, I personally think it's about him feeling secluded and removed from the world, like an island (hence Madagascar) and his fight to free himself from his past "I'm free of all the chains" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gcam Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 lol, that could be it, he wrote a song and didn't have a name for it, so he thought, "Hey, I liked my holiday in Madagascar, so I'll call it that"So simple yet so perfect... ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gauda Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 Posting my old interpretion again.. I think that Madagascar comes from that Madagascar is the lonely irland rigth outside Africa.. Once Madagascar where a part of Africa but it drifted away.. Just like Axl drifted away from his old life, old friends and stuff.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anders Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 The stuff about axl drifting away from society (like madagascar) is good.But it could also be about human right, like slaves (martin luther king/free the ball the chain/)However, anyone ever wondered why these paintings of jesus and marie appeared when they played MTV Awards?Peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
