| Bob Dylan – Boots of Spanish Leather Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I agree, bob dylans one of the greatest song-writers ever, but one thing that's funny (to him) also is how much his songs are over analyzed This sond was writted about the 7-8 month period where his then girlfriend, suze rotolo (the girl on the cover of freewheelin' album) was in italy and bob was really feeling it. She was his girlfriend in the early sixties right before he was signed to columbia and they lived in an apartment together when she was 18 and he was 20. When he was signed, he started to get fame and she was feeling like people only knew her as "bob's girl" and she was offered the chance to study in italy, something she wanted to do right after high school but couldn't because of a car accident. Well when her mother, who wasn't too fond of bob, was pushing her to go and she feared if she didn't go she would regret it forever. She finally decided to go, despite the fact her and bob were now in a loving relationship. This was all described in her book that just came out, "a freewheelin' time" Back to the song, it is about how any man would feel when his woman is far away (in this case overseas) and thw beginning is essentially a conversation between he and her, where she is asking if there is anything he wants her to buy him while she's on her trip, and he insists that all he wants is her back home "unspoiled" meaning he wants their relationship to be just like it was when they were together. Then she says she's not sure of when she's coming home, that it depends on how she's feeling (which is what happened in real life) and bob fears that this means she's not even thinking about him, that she's too busy having fun in europe to worry about how lovesick he is. That is the basic meaning of the song. The common long-distance relationship fear that your loved one isn't as sad or missing you as much as you miss them Thanks |

| MF Doom – Doomsday Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| This is DOOMs style. Really intricate rhyme schemes that just flow seamlessly. The chorus part that says "that's what my tomb'll say" DOO purposely uses his last name (Dumile) as a homonym for DOOM'll lay. They are both pronounced the same, and they both make sense. Right above my government, Dumile (that's what will be on his headstone right above his real name.) Or it will say DOOM. Damm he's good | |
| Mason Jennings – Train Leaving Gray Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| No its totally to an ex. "I've never love no one the way I loved you" and challenges that she "never loved no one" | |
| Mason Jennings – 12/8 Time Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I agree. She's running back but she still doesn't realize what she's put him through "her stomach ain't big enough I suppose, to eat up all the mean words that she spoke, she's gonna try to ring quiet but the doorbells's broke" and "her key don't fit" she doesn't fit in his life anymore and he's done with her. As he should be. She don't deserve him | |
