| John Mayer – Neon Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Neon is about a guy who is really in love with a girl. He just adores her and wants to be with her, but she’s had a generally destructive lifestyle for a long time, only having bad boyfriends, partying a lot and doing drugs, so even though she likes him she’s too afraid he won’t like her if he gets too close, she sort of feels he’s sweet and all but she’s so used to only being with bad guys that she keeps him at a distance, parties a lot, does drugs etc, because in some way she also feels he’s too good and sweet for her. He really just wants to save her, hold her in his arms, tell her he doesn’t care what she’s done, but that he loves her anyway and that he really doesn’t want to lose her. However, he feels she just keeps slipping away. I hope it works out for them:P | |

I think this song is plainly about really missing someone, someone you love perhaps. What band only writes lyrics that make sense tbh? Sure there may be some hidden meaning behind them, about the war and such which I'm not going to go into, but the way I see it is just someone feeling lonely and missing someone he really loves. |

i think it can be perceived in so many ways... sambennalick made an excellent interpretation of it, and the infidelity one is good too. but to me, it feels more like its about strong love and passion, how this childish (using the word in a playful and not demeaning manor) rush of emotion makes them feel wonderful and happy |

This song could mean so many things, so what I think is that each little section of it (those boxes the lyrics are divided into) have it's own meaning, except for some of them which are connected to others. Or perhaps this song is about how you evolve as a person when something special happens to you, how you change. For instance I think the first two of them could refer to how life began on earth. Under the sea, something stirs and something tries and starts to climb towards the light, as to say evolve. This however doesn't correspond with the fact that there already is an albatross up there, but I guess it doesn't have to make perfect sense. As suggested by a previous poster (5 years ago or so) the third box of text is about meeting someones eyes and you just want to take their hand and pour your heart out before them, and truly make yourself vulnerable - as you so rarely do nowadays when people are all locked inside there shells (which is a favourite topic of pink floyds). Concerning the fourth box of text I must say I agree with charish2k1s interpretation of it. Noones stopping you from reaching the sky, from achieving you goals and dreams - and yet for some reason, you don't do it, you're without a will and hope. Numb. The fifth box I think is there to portrait this person(mentioned in box three) you poured your heart out to as someone wonderful, sort of like an angel filling your life with light, and how you think about him/her constantly. The last one is about that person but now you miss him/her so much that it hurts, because that person made you feel wonderful so you call out to them, wanting them to be near you. A somewhat childish crush you might say, silly and so on but... beautiful. |

I think this song is about england before the second world war, where progress was fast and technology was advancing and they portrait it as a dream world of sorts (a pretty illusion, is what i think they mean). They paint it up as something wonderful and amazing ,which of course it wasn't always, but perhaps they liked to dream about it. Then the 2nd world war came, and England was ravaged by the war, torn apart and had it's capital bombed. sort of an abrupt ending to this illusion and they sing about how they miss it, they miss how ambitious the British Empire was (it was far more powerful before the war than after, obviously) and how they conquered the world "the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world" "Time took our dreams away" "The grass was greener" "Magnets and miracles" "The ringing of the division bell had begun"(As to say the parliament was working and democracy was sort of flourishing, at least in this little fantasy) "Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary" I think these lines point somewhat towards my theory, and i feel it gets somewhat of a backup from the big screen seen on the pulse concert - because everything appearing on that screen when they play this song is somewhat impossible and wondrous. For those not bothered to read all this, I think it's a dream about England before world war two. |
