| Damien Rice – Delicate Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
I can relate to this because I had a friend who I was seeing in private..and I swear this song was written about us. It wasn't that we were embarrassed or anything..it was just complicated (or delicate) and it was our business - no one else needed to know. except it got to a point where I began to question what was really going on because my feelings were real but it was as if we were creating this other world behind closed doors where we could be together and as soon as we left that place his feelings were shut off(even tho he assured me that wasn't the case), but it wasn't so easy for me. "So why do you fill my sorrow With the words you've borrowed" its almost as if they are using lines on you..like a sleazy guy chatting you up complimenting you just to get you into bed "And why do you sing Hallelujah If it means nothing to you Why do you sing with me at all?" why are you preaching things to me you dont even believe in..saying one thing yet telling me something else with your actions - so if this is true then why are you still keeping me hanging? I think its brilliant the way he can tell a story thru the lyric that so many people can relate to yet its still deep, doesn't have the gloss of most music around these days which is a dead give away its just words telling a story with no personal meaning..sure that music sells, but give me meaningful music any day. I actually stumbled across damien by accident..best mistake i ever made. |

Okay well i actually wanted to comment about what the song is about..not just that i think its awsome or anything about emo or put shit on anyone else.. way back when it came out i believe i heard it was about people in the industry (don't you worry what thier bitter hearts are going to say - unhappy business people?) and how they screw u over, how they try and change you to the image they believe you should be just to increase sales while thats the trend. eg. hey you know they're all the same/you know you're doing better on your own so don't buy in/ Pretty much what i got out of it is to stay true to yourself, what you believe in and dont let other people change you.. it just takes some time/little girl, you're in the middle of the ride getting somewhere in the industry takes time and alot of work but you just gotta go with the flow of things and dont get to flustered or worry about what people say about you or ur music. I dont know I might be way off but thats how i interpreted it. |
