| Leonard Cohen – A Bunch of Lonesome Heroes Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
to me the song speaks to the tendency to first idolize then demonize our heroes neither of which would necessarily be close to the truth, thus the frustration/want to be able to tell ones own story then as cohen loves to do, he takes his grand philosophy and cooks it down to a pedestrian relationship here the woman has been idolized by the man, even though (or b/c) she had been aloof, and she is telling him "there's more/less to me than your idolized version of me" and why? maybe there is too much burden (and dehumanization) to be revered in such a way (i wouldn't knowbut that's my guess) |
