| My Morning Jacket – Smokin' from Shootin' Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
my interpretation is this is a song about a guy who is in love with a girl who doesn't want to settle down, and he's finally had enough of her antics. in the first verse, he's asking her if she will grow up and let him treat her like a woman. towards the end of it, he says to her; in what is more of an epiphany to himself, that she will never commit to him. second verse, he wants to know who she gives her heart out to. is it god? he always thought it could be him, but now he knows it never will be. the chorus is about his chase after her. the smoking gun representing his chase after her, but he was shooting at nothing. meaning his chase after her was worthless. third verse, he is asking god why she won't love him like he loves her, and is questioning if faith is enough for him(why god did you let me down?). |
