| Leonard Cohen – Anthem Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Ok, i don't know any clever stuff but... I always view the chorus in terms of an attraction to someone, although i'm not sure what the first line means to me yet. After that though i think "forget your perfect offering" means something like you don't have to be perfect. Then the next two lines make me think everything has an imperfection, that's what makes you who you are and what makes you so special/beautiful to me. A pretty obvious suggestion, but the thing i love about reading the posts is hearing everyone's take on the lyrics and what they mean to individual people. I've decided on this song for my funeral, not because I think the song is that sad, but the lyrics plus the tune in the context of a funeral will have everyone bawling like babies :) Thanks for the posts all yous above, they have made me think more deeply about the lyrics |
