| Bob Dylan – Knockin' on Heaven's Door Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I am filled with such understanding when I listen to this song. It strikes my heart and my soul. I am a heavy cocaine user who's tried quiting to little success. This song, although it may not be what Bob Dylan was tring to convey, is about struggles with drugs and what happens to the peoples lives. I used to be such a good person, an honor student who was going to go off to a great college, but I gave that up... for my habits. I was respected and looked up to, but I failed everyone, and even myself, so I can relate to taking the badge off, taking off the high expectations and hopes for me. I couldn't see what I could have had, and continued to use. And with every dark cloud that comes when I'm not using and become depressed, I use even more. My potential and hopes had to be buried like the guns, I needed to be pushed away from lives that I could and would destroy. So I'm left with nothing but a demon I can't get rid of... And I hope and pray everyday to get rid of it, but nothing helps, I have nowhere to go... I am personally Knockin' on Heaven's Door. This may not be the meaning, but it is to me, and the sad truth of which I live by... |
