| John Frusciante – A Doubt Lyrics | 17 years ago |

"And I wind up next to you All all that I need is a doubt That's all one that feeds the mouth One simple means is to leave it by the door" I'm a little lost here (ironically, as the song is called "A Doubt"). Anyway, the only thing I can gather from this is that he needs a doubt (hope of something, maybe?) that can feed him (maybe feed him a reason to live). This "food" being left by the door reminds me of people who lock themselves in rooms (due to mental breakdowns, depression, etc.) and won't come out. Food's left by their door (in this case, hope, or "a doubt" is left by his door). Maybe it's left by the person he finds himself next to. Sorry if this is way, way off. ------------------------------ Nice interpretation Herbivore, I think I have a theory about this bit though that you may not have picked up, though yours is equally interesting. "And all that I need is a doubt That's all one that feeds the mouth One simple means is to leave it by the door" I think this is hinting that all that someone needs is a doubt to rock their faith, or hope, in humanity or religion or whatever, and the 'feeding the mouth' is feeding our insatiable thirst to know 'Why?'. Once people loose faith, and get off the beaten path, they start to wonder why, and this doubt feeds the wonder of 'why.' I think the leaving it by the door is that its very easy to open the door to doubt, by sinning, or loosing track, or not living morally, or with any hope/zest/aim in life. Cool song though. :D |
