| Duran Duran – Ordinary World Lyrics

This has always been my favorite Duran Duran song, and my Mom's as well. I always thought I "got" what it was saying, but it never made more sense as when my Mom passed away. I was looking for a song to use for her picture slideshow and this was perfect. I could sense her saying to me, "you will be okay, life will go on" through this song. I know Simon wrote this for a friend that died, and it makes perfect sense. Also seems like their was some sort of strain on their relationship, maybe things that could have been different. Maybe things that were always lingering with a thought of "we can fix that later." Maybe that is why Simon took this particular loss so hard. That's how I felt with my Mom. I kept telling myself, our relationship will get better when X, or I will try harder later. Now I don't have that chance. But all I can do is move on, and know that she loves me and I love her flaws and all, and that is enough. Nothing is perfect, but we have to get through and power on. And we never have to forget. |

Runaways, I just read through all of the postings and i would have to say I agree with yours the most. I also read his blog, talking about past relationships and how he has always cheated etc...so maybe this is about a girl, and maybe it's like this time is different? She has broken him down and is helping him "repair". She sees him for what he really is, and loves him anyway...when he realizes that he can say with confidence "Things are gonna change now, for the better." I don't think it has to do with losing someone, but finding yourself (and the person who is helping you do so)... |
