| Damien Rice – Woman Like a Man Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I have to say i felt the same way about this song when i first heard it but after analysing it deeper, like all damien rice songs there were hidden meanings. The words he uses are a little strong i agree, but lets face it, who can make swear words sound as good as damien rice! In short this song is about how he slept round a lot like a 'typical man' and then he met a woman that only went out with men for sex and basically used them. And after he met this woman he realised that he was like this woman and he was actually quite hurt by this woman and made him realise that he is like this to other girls. Then realising that the 'typical' behaviour of a man is quite disgusting. Thanks to this woman-like-a-man he realised what a dick he was being in short. =] hope i havent bored u, just think that this is a great song and u should give this damien song a chance |

I got it! I think i know what the "cant paint an elephant quite as good as she bit" could mean. Well elephants never forget; well they symbolise a memory....like a moment so special that it's memorable. He's saying that his new gf can't make moments so good that it paints a memory in his head that he CANNOT forget. So to paint an elephant is to make a moment so special that it is unforgetable. -sorry if this is confusing, it's hard to explain what i mean =[ The title of the song could mean "unforgetable" cos elephants dont forget. Okay, there is this different meaning of the song that hasnt been said yet and im quite surprised no one has mentioned it yet. There are a lot of sexual innuendoes in this song. Take the last bit for example: "but you can't make me happy quite as good as me.. well, you know that's a lie" He's sort of saying "so what if you leave me u can't sexually satisfy me better than i can satisfy myself (in a sexual way) then he says well "u know that's a lie" - so she satisfies him better obv. "and she may rise if i sing you down and she may wisely cling to the ground" ^This bit here could be describing a sexual act, I won't explain it, but if u think about it, you'll eventually get there. and this bit "u can keep me pinned cos it's easier to tease" ^sexual act again, whereby girl on top.....and 'teasing' it.....i'll leave u to think about that bit |

| well, stones shouldnt teach u to fly and life shouldnt teach u to die and love certainly shouldnt teach u to lie. now maybe damien is sayin that love has hurt him and he is as surprised as seeing a rock teaching him to fly because something SO perfect can be SO flawed :( this song is so perfect and so beautiful!!!! | |
