| The Cure – The Same Deep Water as You Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
I don't really think this song is about suicide. It seems desperate to me. Suicide is a solution, sometimes a very extreme solution, and every time I hear this song it seems like there is a desperation from not being able to find a solution.
My take on this song is it is about the last night you spend with somebody you love and know that when you wake up they will be gone. Because you have tried everything to keep them, but they want to leave anyway and there's nothing you can do to get them to see that you need them.
The line "Can't you see I try, swimming the same deep water as you is hard", is his way saying that he has a hard time understanding her motivations[for leaving]. Robert Smith uses a lot of metaphors for ordinary things. That's why I don't take their songs so literally because what it seems to be on the surface is rarely what it is. |

I just want to say a couple things here. Angelica is an herb. It's been known to have "medicinal' properties, and it's also used to flavor certain kinds of alcohol, like gin or absinthe. So he could be using it as metaphor for his drug and alcohol habit.
And as for the colors, whoever said it has to do with the American flag, the Union Jack (Britain's flag) is also blue, red, and white. |

Wow, I'm so surprised nobody's commented on this song. It's one of my favorites. I think it's just one of those songs that say even though it seems that everything around you is falling apart, if you hold on just a little bit longer it'll get better. Kind of a happy, optimistic song. |

Actually, I was too hasty to post my interp. I really agree with Staticfactory after reading that. Makes a whole helluva lot of sense, moreso than drug paranoia does. |

I think this song is about drug induced paranoia more than anything. Maynard likes to trip acid, this we all know. The insanity depicted in this song makes me think it's a trip gone bad. |

This song has been in heavy rotation on my computer(s) for years now. I thought at first it was about the fans. The more I sit here and think about it, and after reading some of the other comments, I'm beginning to think it might be about the industry. The industry is very fickle, and when something doesn't "deliver" it moves on to the next thing. |

| Bauhaus – All We Ever Wanted Was Everything Lyrics

This song really makes me want to slit my wrists. Not that I would, it's just the desperation and hopelessness this song evokes. I think everybody at one point in time has felt so utterly hopeless. The lyrics are straightforward and simple, there's really nothing to interpret. It's the feelings you get when listening to it. |

| Bauhaus – Who Killed Mr. Moonlight? Lyrics

This is one of my favorite songs. The first time I heard it, I really wasn't all that familiar with the band. My best friend had me listen to the song. I took it to be lamenting a loss of some kind. Like the end of childhood and being forced to "grow up" when you don't really want to.
I don't know, the moon references and such really just remind me of Hey Diddle Diddle for some reason. |
