If you go into marriage expecting that person to make you the happiest person in the world, to make you feel whole, then when the rose-colored glasses come off you are going to feel like you made a mistake, you are going to feel like that person wasn't your "true love". I wouldn't say that there is "the one" for each of us who who is our natural "other half", who will make everything perfect. I think you find someone you love, and then you make the decision to spend every day of your life showing them God's love with His help. And when you and your spouse strive to show the unconditional (unattainable) TRUE love of God for each other, you will feel most complete, most loved. |

Here is my opinion for those of you who see this song as being about marriage: While we may feel at times that another person (significant other, spouse) makes us feel whole, if we look for meaning and fulfillment in them we are going to be disappointed and put strain on our marriage. I believe this is a problem for a lot of couples today. You cannot put the burden of making you feel complete and whole on another human being. If we are in pieces and go into a relationship with another person expecting them to make us whole, sooner or later, we will feel disappointed, feel like that person is not providing something that they should, and then you look for another person who will (at least temporarily)... In my opinion, believing that the love of another human can be perfect and give you "everything" you ever wanted and needed is like believing in a fairy tale. When you expectations of this fairy tale going into marriage, reality will make you feel as though the person isn't "right" for you. Please feel free to comment, non-christian or christian on how you agree or disagree Only God can fully give us this piece of mind, totally make us feel whole. |

I did not come up with this meaning but I think it is worth telling. I don't really believe that this is what Dylan meant but it is interesting that it can be interpreted this way The answer in this meaning is basically God. The song is a argument against existentalists. How many times can a man look up and not see the sky? There is a sky up there whether you see it or not. Even if you look up many times and say you don't see it, it is there. One day you will see it. There is an answer, but the answer is not yours to invent or create. It is decided for you, it is outside you, one day you will hear it. You don't create it or define it, it comes to you and eventually you will conform to it or bow to it |
