Great guy, if I do say so myself. To the left of the love-bead. My passions: Women & Poetry. My lovers are my religion.

Foo Fighters – Everlong Lyrics 13 years ago
"Out of the red" as I see it could refer to doing better financially. Being out of the red therefore being in the black, in the money. Goes back to the days of recording debt in red in ledgers.

Could also be a reference to a red spotlight onstage. In & out of the red. She too is a performer. So the stanzas are about he & she. Of course what kind of performance are they involved in? Music? Love-making? Why not both? Just living.

The opening lyric:

Hello
I've waited here for you
Everlong

It touches the heart. He's been waiting for her all his life. And finally she arrived. (I suspect she got to him as fast as she could.)

Pearls Before Swine – Another Time Lyrics 13 years ago
I'm just realizing now how really outstanding Tom Rapp & his group were. Time for rediscovery.

This song could be about Christ coming by again to die again. Like Faulkner figured in A Fable.

Who knows who is buried in the Tomb of the Unknowns...? Recall the times. The Vietnam War was raging & country (the USA) & it appeared sometimes the world was coming apart at the seams.

Love was/is the only answer to such terrible periods. Too bad too many who should know better have forgotten that. Others born too late are blinded by ignorance & cynicism. They're victims of their own will to violence & greed. Of course they don't see it that way. But its not inconceivable that there are at least two separate & distinct "psychologically different species" of humanity. Just a speculative hypothesis...

Of course maybe the implication is that we're all sons of some god or other. The lyrics connote reincarnation. Also the"you" in question might be viewed as either a failed suicide or some very very lucky survivor. Death is deferred. & the god &/or gods of our fathers & mothers is gently reprimanded for indifference, perhaps?

The POV also seems to be coming from a significant other (addressor)of the same sex (male). So, the party addressed (addressee.) is in all likliehood bisexual in orientation. (Which of course increases his chances of getting a date on Saturday night...Thx to Woody Allen, that one.)

But some of the lyrics seem to make at least veiled reference to drugs, particularly heroin. However, multiple meanings are also in evidence.

Second to last line should read:

CORRECTION: oh, someone like you, will never be lonely, or get the blues

WRONG: oh, someone like you, will never be lonely, or not go through

Cat Power – He War Lyrics 13 years ago
Impressionistic take:

Biology is destiny. Love & Lust are chemistry. Testosterone is Me. Me is He.

Touch my woman & I will go ballistic Stalinistic all-too-realistic on your ass!

Some guys just never learn. The only thing they ever understand is when they lose a few bloody teeth.

What you don't let go of, no one will take from you.

In Love & List, fight for what's yours or die trying.

The everlasting Garden of Eros awaits the warrior worthy of servicing the Goddess. Tend Her altars. Keep strong. Keep Her fires burning.

This is not some idle chatter. Its Old School stuff. As old as Men & Women.
