| Nick Drake – Place To Be Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
"When I was young, younger than before I never saw the truth hanging from the door And now I'm older--see it face to face And now I'm older--gotta get up clean the place" To me this song is about the cruel awakening of what the world or what life really is about. It's about the loss of innocence. this loss of seeing the world through rose colored glasses is depressing, you lose hope and you long for a place to be at peace away from this world. I recently turned 20 and moved out of my house last year and moved to the other side of the country. This song speaks to me. the first verse talks about being young and innocent not seeing the world for what it really is. when you get older the truth hits you in the face you are more aware of things. your whole perspective changes. you see the good and the bad, the "trash" and can't help but want to make this world a better place and clean it up. "And I was greener, greener than the hill Where flowers grew and sun shone still Now I'm darker than the deepest sea Just hand me down give me a place to be" Greener meaning full of life and seeing positively and being happy. now he's depressed and see's the dark side of life and just wants to be at ease and be at peace away from this world. this life. "And I was strong, strong in the sun I thought I'd see when day is done Now I'm weaker than the palest blue Oh so weak in this need for you" once had energy and the will to survive and the strength to keep going. had strength but now no longer has hope. no longer has a need to live. really a sad song yet a great one :) |

| M. Ward – Carolina Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| to me this song at least in the first part is a dialogue between the writer and someone else could also be with himself. asking him where he's going. wants an answer and is impatient and the answers he gives this person isn't good enough. He wants to know. and he's explaining well this is where i am in life he's waiting for a sign. but it seems like he's not going anywhere. He used to know where he wanted to be "California with baby eyes so blue" things were clear he was seeing clearly. now he's torn. he's stuck and lost in life. every time he tries he ends up going backwards when all he wants to do is move forward. trying isn't good enough. all of his efforts aren't good enough. | |
