| Tonic – If You Could Only See Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I agree that, logically, it sounds like he is telling his girlfriend "If you could only see..." about another girl who does give him her love. What is cool about songs however, just like poetry, is that the meaning is subjective or circumstantial. It can have a different meaning for each person. For example. With the situation between my wife and I my heart sparked another interpretation that fit how I feel. The parts like "If you could only see the way she loves me." is what I tell family and friends when asked how I put up with her abusiveness. The other parts is what I'm telling her when the love shuts down and the lies and manipulations start. Since we can be complex we can have conflicting thoughts about someone or have them made about us. That said I must not forget to say this is one of my alltime favorite songs. It's in my head all the time especially since my interpretation of it comes from an ongoing part of my life. No matter how it is perceived these guys have come up with an inspired heartfelt song that should be framed and put in the hall of fame. |
