okay here's my interpretation: i think the lady that is talked about is just an idealistic character. she represents what everyone [should] be like. i think the song is saying that this lady can see good in everything, and thats how she's getting her way into heaven. i think the songbird can represent anything from the government to the media to our peers because they can all put thoughts in our head that can be misgiven. "in my thought i have seen...and voices of those.." this part is talking about society. he says he sees rings of smoke, because that is a signal for distress. saying that all of society is in trouble because of how the media controls and misleads us. the piper is our inner voice. because even when we do something wrong we always have that conscience that tells us its wrong. and only we can lead ourselves to reason. i can even go deeper into the song but i dont want to write too much. the best thing about this song is that it can mean whatever you want it to. and alot of people have some really interesting comments..like the lady is dying, or she's doing drugs, or its about greed. |

[go to the very end if you wanna hear it in a nutshell] okay here's what i got from the song: "johanna drove slowly into the city the hudson river all filled with snow" ---johanna arives in new york during winter [because the hudson river is in new york] "a thousand years in one piece of silver" ---talking about the ring, this can mean that is has some meaning/value to her "she took it from his lily-white hand" ---could suggest that he is dead "showed no fear she'd seen the thing in the young men's wing at sloan kettering" ---sloan kettering is a cancer center so she could have been expecting him to die. and when he did she took the ring "look outside the raincoats coming say oh" ---i think this means that its raining. and rain can represent a number of things. it can mean sadness/washing something clean/starting over/renew/replenish..whatev.. because the raincoats are coming this could mean that people are coming after her...or not.. "his honor drove southward seeking exotica..turquoise harmonicas" ---now here's where the song gets tricky. this part doesnt allude to anything that i've heard of so i think this is just an experience that the writer of the song had. ---i interpreted this as telling us what happend to the boy johanna took the ring from. before he died. lol its hard to explain what i'm thinking "half of the ring lies here with me but the other halfs at the bottom of the sea" ---she gets rid of the half of the ring the represents his honor and gives the other half to her new love ----okay..in a nutshell.. so this guy is telling the story of his girl johanna. how she gets over [or gets even] with an old love by taking a ring that he has [i think the ring represents her love]. in the end she gives half to her new love and leave the other half behind. --i dont think the person who wrote this song wants us to know exactly what it means. its left open for interpretation. i think johanna is getting over an old love. thats why rain is mentioned, because it washes away her old mistakes..like a clean slate wow. that was long. please tell me what you think |
