| The Cure – The Loudest Sound Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I believe that the album was about the dying relationship with the band. If I recall correctly, Bloodflowers was supposed to be the final album by The Cure; their "swan song" if you will. 39 was the age of Robert Smith when the album was written. | |

Funny how even seven years later, my thoughts still have impact. Let me tell that I've grown up a bit, and yes, I've been in a sad, decaying, dying relationship. I was trapped in it for nearly a year. It hasn't changed my view. Though I idolize Smith and recognize that his meaning for writing the song, I still listen to the track and feel some sort of hope. It could be the ever-present optimist in me, or perhaps I'm just slightly less cynical than I was at 18. Maybe I'll never know. I suppose at the end of the day we have to chalk it up to the ability to have a personal interpretation of the music, be it this song or not. It's what allows me to better appreciate the music of The Cure, and music in general. I understand the more melancholy view of the lyrics, but in my heart and mind I can't envision them. This may be one area where we have to agree to disagree. |

| When I hear this, I see an elderly couple walking along the beach at sunset, just enjoying each others company, yet they reminisnce of their younger days. "Nothing left to say" doesn't have to mean the conversation has run dry; it could mean that nothing is needed to be said: the love between the couple is just... understood. | |
