And it doesn't have to be a romantic relationship in the offing here. Friendships can be even more enduring than romances. Often these people, especially from this era, where pals in childhood, so they followed each other into the drug culture, because that is where much of this talent was doing it's most outstanding work, and their lives were indelibly altered by both the music and the drugs. You have but to read the life stories of the people who wrote the songs and you know what they were talking about. That is not to say that, as art, and as with any other art medium, it is shaped and molded by whoever sees it. we all see it from our own frame of reference and so, we shape it by what it says to US and that, too, is a totally legit interp. What the artist was saying can,and often does, get lost in the morphology brought on through the years. |

You guys are waaaaay over thinking these lyrics. You have to consider the context of the period in which they were written. It is about drugs and the wreakage they make of your life. "Come down off your throne" = The grandiosity and the euphoria created by the drugs. "Leave your body alone" = stop taking drugs "Some body must change" = You gotta do what ever it take to man up and take responsibilty for your own addictions "You are the reason/I've been waiting here so long" = I LOVE YOU, J@ck@$$ "Somebody holds the key" = Help! Help! What are the magic words that will penetrate his doped out core?? "But i'm near the end" = I'm near the end "And i just ain't got the time no" = I mean it. I'm near the end. I have a life to live. "Well i'm wasted and I can't find my way home" = in today's lingo it would translate roughly to "Dude, where is my car?" but there is a more urgent cut to it. This person has sacrificed his life(her life). Sort of, 'I have walked this path with you and now we are both lost, and if you don't come out of that drug hazed cloud it will all be for nothing. What a waste of talent/intellect/skill/gift. It really is very straight forward. |
