He Is Legend – Dinner With A Gypsy

"Dinner With A Gypsy" as written by and Mckenzie Bell Matthew Williams....
Is there a place that we can go to teach the children not to grow?
Where lovers don't remember where they met and heartbreak is easy to forget?

Is there no love to speak of?
Is there no love to speak of?

I'm looking for a place, looking for a place
I gotta find a new place to call home
I'm looking for a place, looking for a place
I gotta find a new place to call home

There has to be a closer country where love can live near me
I've got to find it because right now I'm not seeing clearly
There's someone knocking on my door
No one lives here anymore
There's someone knocking on my door
No one lives here anymore

Don't I know you?
You've got to believe me
We met yesterday
Don't I know you?
I don't believe this bar is closing
Don't I know you? (I guess I never did)
Don't I know you?
I gotta get out, I gotta get out
No one lives here anymore

Is there no love to speak of?
Is there no love to speak of?

I'm looking for a place, looking for a place
I gotta find a new place to call home
I'm looking for a place, looking for a place
I gotta find a new place to call home

Is there a place that we can go to teach the children not to grow?
Where lovers cannot remember where they met and heartbreak is so easy to forget?

There has to be a closer country where love can live near me
I've got to find it because right now I'm not seeing clearly
There's someone knocking on my door
No one lives here anymore
There's someone knocking on my door
No one lives here anymore

There is no love

    General Commenti can only give write about what this song meant to be -- not what it is definitely about.

    last spring, when this album was in heavy rotation in my CD player, i was romantically involved with a girl at school who was originally from another country. she was the personification of "flighty" -- moving from emotion to emotion, and then back again, at the drop of a hat.

    one night, she'd spend all hours outside with me, the next, she'd ignore my calls. she was, in every sense, a gypsy -- one inclined to a nomadic, way of life.

    i finally got to a point where this song made all kinds of sense to me; i felt as if i would have been better had i stayed an ignorant, care-free child ("is there a place that we can go to teach the children not to grow?") and that it would be much better to just forget the whole experience.

    i felt like an integral part of the essence of 'me' had been taken; that, when friends came to my door, it was all a show -- no one really lived here anymore.

    this was all almost a year ago. i've washed my hands of it and i'm over it, but i was just listening to this album again tonight, and it's truly amazing the places music can take you. the conventions of time and space need not apply when music is involved,

    General Commentbarabbas i agree and think you are 100% correct, a lot of this CD has to do with heartbreak and I think you hit this one on the head.

    "Where lovers don't remember where they met and heartbreak is easy to forget?"

    Is a great line, showing he wishes he could just get over it, and emotions could change that simple.

    "Don't I know you?
    You've got to believe me
    We met yesterday
    Don't I know you?
    I don't believe this bar is closing sir
    Don't I know you? ( I guess I never did)"

    Is him living in this fantasy world that I talked about earlier, "Where heartbreak is easy to forget" This is that, it's over and they have forgotten each other.

    General CommentI think this song is written about some one who has been beat up by life and is looking for a utopia or heaven where he can continue on with life without looking back I also think that the writer (Croom) is singing about the absence of heart and all emotional state is gone (is someone knocking on my door, no one lives here anymore) it seems more about someone with a broken heart trying to move on and reastore his heartbreak and to regain feeling of his emotions HIL for life

    General CommentIt's funny how you can't really interpret lyrics until you can relate to them... I just read the lyrics, and they made perfect sense to me.
