| Bob Dylan – Positively 4th Street Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Hmm i wouldnt say that he really hates the person- I think to a some degree he understands as he says he used to be in with those friends once- I tHink the actual person is a false person who lies (beatles quote heh heh) "to make his world a little golden" because he is so insecure he makes stuff up to sound more intresting- I can imagine the person hes talkign about is the "bitch" of a group of friends who will do anythign to keep his position in circle no matter what it takes , basically by being somethign hes not- I think Dylan has left the group and kind of reflecting on how this person is trying to impress his selected friends whilst doing this running of other peoples miss fortunes- See i know people who would use certain 'less pristigous' friends as examples in order to crack a joke to impress the more 'Higher Cricle'- I see this kind of artificiallness going on all the time and it really confuses and upsets me. | |
| Bob Dylan – Not Dark Yet Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Hmm i thought this song was about the injustices and corruption in society and every day life-- As in stuff is messed up (its getting dark) But its not quiet accended into chaos (not fully just heading that way) "Well my sense of humanity has gone down the drain Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain " "I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes " Ii think it is an old man who is aware of all this nasty stuff going on in the world and has become really bitter-But hes aware of it thats why he isnt looking for anything in anybodies eyes- But overall hes just fed up of seeing these corrupt things and gettin angry about them- Could be completely wrong but thts wht i always thought |

| Bob Dylan – Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Come to think of it i wouldn't be suprises if The Jack of hearts represented 'Independance, Freedom and the ability to be your self'-The way it says nothing would com between them excpet the Jack of hearts-and she was fed up of being Jims wife- and she looked into the future and saw her self riding on the jack of hearts- Fed up of living in his shadow, probuably being controled--so she kills him, nicks his money- i duno he definitly represents one of the two - But i certainyl think Lilly and Rosemary are the same person and perhaps the jack of hearts is what she wants to be-the 'real her'- God knows im getting confused now heh heh | |
| Bob Dylan – Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Yer id definitly say that they are all the same person, Rosemary and Lilly-But I think the jack of hearts is kinda like a mask i think 'she' wears in order to justify and hide from the guilt of what shes doing - Its probuably an excuse but also the drive as well..Greed- It very much reminds me of the film 'Fight Club'. | |
| Bob Dylan – Changing of the Guards Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Basically a man who's released he's become a victim of 'the masters of war'. He's fed up off doing their dirty work for them while they sit behind their desks | |
| Bob Dylan – Buckets of Rain Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Hmm id shove my money on 'Meet me in the morning' personally as thats an ace song- But this ones good too--What am i saying....they're all good | |
| Bob Dylan – Blind Willie McTell Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
im just posting for the sake of it--Due to the fact this being possiably my favourite Dylan song-and what a cracker it is- I think hes basically saying ppl are never happy with what they got"Well, God is in heaven And we all want what's his" and the fact that we should all think about the thing s we take for granted such as the amazing gift of sight "I'm gazing out the window Of the St. James Hotel And I know no one can sing the blues Like Blind Willie McTell" Regardless of which this is an amazing song |

| Bob Dylan – Masters of War Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Geez Louise this is a cracker of a song. Cant understand some one can put the words together like he has--especially at the age of 21--best line "you fasten all the triggers for the others to fire" and doesnt it just explain war in a nut shell--if perhaps more people listened and thought about idea like this the government wouldn't have pawns to use to be able to achieve stuff like war-the irony of it usually being to gain power-them being the ones with the power and using Us(the people with no power) in order to get more of it. Any hoo its a great song =0) | |
| Bob Dylan – Like a Rolling Stone Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
whats the word i partly disagree with you- at first i think dylan is very much so implying she thought she was better by'laughing at every one who was hanging out' as in no time for normal people-same with the clowsn having frowns and stuff-he s certainly saying 'how does it feel' to be one of us not looking down on people and judging them. However when it gets going further he says 'When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.' as in yer you were a bitch to us---but its alright look on the bright side you've left all that stress and problems behind--now 'how does it feel'. so quitt worrying we forgive ya and just be happy for what you've got and the simpllicity of your life. But again can see where your coming from-Regardless of which its still a good song |

| Bob Dylan – Knockin' on Heaven's Door Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| thats wht dylan songs are all about mate-connecting to the songs your self and being able to relate to them--how ever i agree with i think it was judge-i believe this song is about life- i belive that its about some one who's depressed--some ones who's upset--and some one whos given up-i beleive that putting his guns in the ground shows this-as he's basically had enough of trying 'he cant fire them any more'-and the fact that the dark cloud is coming down shows hes just accepting it- and the idea of not being able to see any more i think is to do with being confused , a side effect often linked with depression-and because of this he feels like hes knocking on heavens door because hes just had enough and isnt attempting to get up and sort himself out -how ever i dont know if any of you have his mtv unplugged album or dvd-he sings this and adds about 2 new verses-one being hes got a 'bad feeling and its hard to trace' as in hes not sure exactly whats up setting him- hes just generally run down--he also adds to the chorus 'knocking on heavens door just like so many times before' as in hes felt like this before and he knows he gonna pull through-just he feels like he wants to knock on heavens door because we all get to the point ,sometimes, where we feel we cant go on any more. | |
| Bob Dylan – Hurricane Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| yer i agree completly,the album'times are changing' is alla bout corrupt aspects of society,like you explained such songs as pawn in his game, but the reason dylan wrote this song isnt to hit on aspects like that, it was as some one furhter up explained , he was just telling the story what had happened in order to try and help rubin carter get his fair trial-and ppl are asking why he doesnt play it any more -its simply because it has no relevant meaning now-obviously because carter got out of jail- i also thing, as some one else has previously said, it isnt a song open for itnerpretation because hes simply telling the story-not drawing any conclsions on society or anything-i think the whole point behind the song was simply to help carters appeal | |
