| Johnny Cash – Further On Up The Road Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
anyone who looks at these lyrics, pay absolutely no attention to the interpretation i'm about to give haha... but this song makes me think of someone i got close to recently who means a lot to me, but could only remain a part of my life for a fairly short amount of time... we just got to know each other at a really bad time and the circumstances were all wrong for us. "Where the road is dark and the seed is sowed"... what we did was dark and the seeds we sowed were bad, at least for now... but... maybe during the time we spent together, we sowed seeds that will one day turn into something good? "Where the miles are marked in the blood and gold" it was bittersweet though. i don't regret a moment of it, even if it was wrong... "Now I been out in the desert, just doin' my time Searchin' through the dust, lookin' for a sign" this represents how hard it is on me being away from him (almost like doing jailtime) and how i keep looking for reasons why we could/should be together, but there just aren't any logical reasons right now so i refrain. also, looking for signs that he hasn't completely given up on me... but i think he finally has begun to, because of all i've put him through... and searching for signs that he feels something similar for me to what i feel for him "So let's take the good times as they go And I'll meet you further on up the road" how i've felt throughout this whole ordeal... i was just living day by day and enjoying each moment spent in his arms and each memory created, trying not to worry about the repercussions of our actions... because it all felt right in its obvious wrongness and just completely worth it... but at the same time, in the back of mind i was constantly wondering about what might happen... so we may not be right for each other right now, but i'm convinced that one day we'll cross paths again and i won't be forced to end things so badly next time. "One sunny mornin' we'll rise I know And I'll meet you further on up the road" one day... |

to me, he's saying that he feels really comfortable and safe with her... she's his "rock" (foundation), what makes him happy, the one he depends on, and the one who keeps him going day after day. she also makes him watch himself and try to be a better person for her. it's beautiful...i'm not sure what 'the significance of 'rake' is in this song though. unless she sort of rakes out the ugly things from his life and makes him a better person all-around. ...? |

to me this song is about finally finding someone worthwhile after wasting a bunch of time on shitty relationships or messing around with complete whores, having meaningless sex or sex that meant something to you at the time, but you regret now... you've been too distracted by whores to see the person you should really be with ("must be a devil between us") and you've been searching for them in all the wrong places, they're what you really want but you just didn't know ("been tryin to meet you")...you've been hurt a lot in the past and then you meet them and they're absolutely perfect for you. "where have you been" to me means, why couldn't i have met you sooner and saved myself a lot of heartache?... and maybe they're been through similar stuff, but you help each other forget all about it and make each other really happy. before you know it, you're inseperable... and you find yourself saying to yourself regarding them "if you go i will surely die" because they mean so much to you and you're best friends and falling in love and "chained". and the last part is just about having sex with someone you care about...somehow the sex is better than all the rest and you seriously can't get enough of them and vice versa... haha somehow i think no one else would agree with my interpretation, but this song just makes me think of my boyfriend and recent personal experiences... GREAT song =] |
