| The Tallest Man on Earth – I Won't Be Found Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
I think this song is about drinking. To me it seems to cover some very specific aspects of drinking, primarily drinking away sorrows. "I'm gonna force the Serengeti To disappear into my eyes Then when I hear your voices callin' I'm gonna turn just inside out" That moment when you're taking a drink and thinking of whatever troubles are on your mind, you force them inside yourself. Then, when your friends get your attention, you go back to being a goof, to be happy go lucky for a few moments. "I know there is a hollow I need to fill it with a draft" I actually think "draft" may be a double meaning here "I'm gonna float up in the ceiling I built a levee of the stars And in my field of tired horses I built a freeway through this farce" The mist interesting line here is the last one. If you dont know what a "farce" is, look it up. He built a freeway, an escape, through a comic display of himself. I think by "Wont be found" he means that in the morning, his troubles will be gone, he will have lost them. This is just my interpretation of course, but t strikes close to home for me, drinking for the wrong reason and regretting it in the morning. |
