I think this song speaks on how we all are forced to fit into roles in society. Though the girl has a law degree, other jobs such as stripping provide more money than the one she currently has. Though it's not really a life, it makes a decent amount of money (Barely living, but we're living large). The song says that the girl can stop at any time (You could sail beside the world tonight). However, there is a cost of breaking the cycle of our lives, which is illustrated even better with the world being spherical and orbiting in a circular path. The people in the world would take what little she has and ruin her. Also, the illustration of her name being April Spring, which is obviously not a real name, as opposed to Judy shows that even though that's not who she really is, people view her as April Spring the stripper rather than Judy the person. Living in large cities, people often feel so insignificant. They're a number, not a person. When you're walking downtown with all the skyscrapers, it can feel like they're just going to collapse on you because you're so significant. |
