| Page France – So Sweetly Lyrics | 19 years ago |

It seems this song is about someone dearly departed. However, the line about the "knife that set her shivering body free" is a bit creepy. "We were aware of our boundaries" seems like the writer is saying he and this girl knew she was going to die soon or something like that. Aparently they fell for each other anyways, and I would hate to think that this rather pleasant and hopeful sounding song is about an assisted suicide or mercy killing. Whatever the event was, she made it to heaven. Interestingly enough, whoever typed out the lyrics to the song made a small but crucial mistake. The second the the last line of the song actual goes "Will you apologize OR stand behind the selfish moves we've made." I thought maybe the "or" was an "and" so I played the song for a closer listen, and it turns out it's a clearly annunciated "or". This kinda bothers me. There's a rather disturbing trend on songmeanings.net I've noticed. Kids focus on how they would like to interpret songs, and while there's nothing terribly wrong with that, they totally skip the part where any rational person should ask "what did the artist intend to be communicated?" and they focus on relating actually profound songs to their bologna highschool relationships, and other such American teenage mush. Here we see a more dire mishap. Kids actually hearing the lyrics they want, and not the words actually sung. That little "or" changes a lot as far as the meaning of the song goes. I like that it says "or". If you don't, have some respect for Page France and refrain from butchering the meaning they wanted to put into this song. |
