| Sara Bareilles – Gravity Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| After Mia Michaels choreographed a routine about addiction to this song on So You Think You Can Dance, Sara tweeted that she "didn't know 'Gravity' was about drugs" but that it was a beautiful dance, and on the Stripped recording she says it's about her "first horrible heartbreak", so I think it's definitely about an addictive *quality* in another person that she doesn't want to love but keeps loving rather than substance addiction. I'd also think that the music would be a bit more angry than sad if it were, but that's just me. Still a good interpretation, though. | |

| Yeah, I keep thinking about this lyric... I totally understand and internalize the "drown in your love" part but I'm not quite sure what she means about "not feel your rain", this is a great interpretation. | |

I really don't think it is about the poem... In the poem, she dies from freezing to death because she sang too much. Why the mention of a knife, then? And if it were about the poem, you'd think they'd include more about weaving, a mirror, shadows, etc. All it really has in common is early virginal death and a river, which is a pretty common romantic (if tragic) theme. I really think it's just an expression of romantic ideas of death more than anything else. |
