No offense to the Aussie crowd and their interpretation, 'tis the beauty of art to be interpreted by the consumer, viewer, listner, whatever media is presented, hence individuality. The context in which I found this song though and the meaning is quite different to me. So we've put an end to it this time. I'm no longer yours and you're no longer mine. You said this hill looks far too steep if I'm not even sure it's me you wanna keep. An apparent breakup, He doesnt think that she wants him anymore, (stagnation, physical separation) or he thinks that the problems between them are too great to overcome, (you said this hill looks far too steep) But time has changed nothing at all - you're still the only one that feels like home. I've tried cutting the ropes and I let you go but you're still the only one that feels like home. The time apart, thus far, she has tried to emotionally detach (cutting the ropes), but whatever comfort, security, familiarity, or home they had made together is what she really misses. Having growin accustom to someone, their mannerisms, idiosyncrasies, she now finds that these 'isms' are haunting her. You won't talk me into it next time, if I'm going away your hearts coming too. 'Cos I miss your hands I miss your face. When I get back let's disappear without a trace. I would imagine in the relationship that he has been the one trying to salvage it, and find the pieces of it, wherever they may lay, he has been trying to convince her not to gleave him emotionally, (you wont talk me into it next time), but now that she sees that this IS what she wants, and when she gains the courage to return, then she will indefinitely. She will be the one to come back and salvage the relationship this time around. So tell me, did you really think... oh tell me, did you really think I had gone when you couldn't see me anymore? When you couldn't... She knows that he has been the one struggling to fix it all along though she broke it off. She is telling him rehtorically, that after the love that they have experienced together, there is no way that it could simply disappear. Even after trying to be firm with her decision, somewhere inside she longs for that familiarity that makes their relationship unique. I think the rest is repetitive, but the last line. This song was sent to me by my ex today, we have a daughter together, so it means something different to me. Missy says. you're still the only one I've gotta love. |
