The “if you think a song is innocent and wholesome it’s actually about sex, and if you think it’s about sex, it’s actually about drugs” rule is true, but there’s an extra secret rule: if a song sounds whimsical and fun but a bit strange and it’s from the 80s, it’s actually about nuclear war.

ok so what’s this one about

Only Solutions Song by Journey • 1982 Lyrics In the jungle I run tonight Find no peace to logical life No confusion, just wrong or right, oh yeah. Faces, numbers I recognize You don't fool me with cynical lies No problems, no compromise, oh yeah Only solutions Don't pull me down, I just want to hear Only solutions Oh, it won't be long, it won't take too long Modern times drive me insane Explanations I can't explain Leaves me standing in the rain, oh yeah Solving mysteries with nothing to lose Magic leaves you without any clues There's only so much one man can do, oh yeah Only solutions Don't pull me down, I just want to hear Now that the sun is shining Clear vision, clear vision In the jungle I run tonight Find no peace to logical life No confusion, just wrong or right, oh yeahALT
In the jungle I run tonight Find no peace to logical life No confusion, just wrong or right, oh yeah Faces, numbers I recognize You don't fool me with cynical lies No problems, no compromise, oh yeah Only solutions It's my point of view Only solutions Oh, clear vision Only solutions No second thoughts Only solutions No, no, no contradictions People reason People reason No escape Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Jonathan Cain / Neal Joseph Schon / Steve PerryALT


because to me all songs are about Tron, but this song feels slightly less about Tron than most songs, despite having been written specifically for Tron, so… yeah maybe it is about nuclear war? i guess?
