| Cher – Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I love this song!!! However, I have always had one problem with the lyrics. I live in Alabama, so I enjoy the reference to Mobile. The problem is that Mobile sits on the northern edge of Mobile Bay. The only thing that lies to the south of it is the Gulf of Mexico. Just a little tidbit, but it bothers me noentheless. Like I said, I still love this song. | |
| Sarah McLachlan – Angel Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Call me crazy, but I have always seen this song as a conversation between a depressed person/drug addict and their guardian angel. Angel: Spend all your time waiting for that second chance for a break that would make it okay there's always one reason to feel not good enough and it's hard at the end of the day Person: I need some distraction oh beautiful release memory seeps from my veins let me be empty and weightless and maybe I'll find some peace tonight Angel: In the arms of an angel fly away from here from this dark cold hotel room and the endlessness that you fear you are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie you're in the arms of the angel may you find some comfort there So tired of the straight line and everywhere you turn there's vultures and thieves at your back and the storm keeps on twisting you keep on building the lie that you make up for all that you lack Person: it don't make no difference escaping one last time it's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees Angel: in the arms of an angel fly away from here from this dark cold hotel room and the endlessness that you fear you are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie you're in the arms of the angel may you find some comfort there you're in the arms of the angel may you find some comfort here. I guess I always thought that because of the switch between "I" and "You" (ex. "I need some distraction" "May you find some comfort here") Just my two cents worth. |
