| Ben Harper – She's Only Happy In The Sun Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Come on guys, i reckon its about drugs and addiction. This is my interpretation and it makes sense to me- I know you may not want to see me On your way down from the clouds = this is coming down of a high, when someone can be irritated etc Would you hear me if I told you That my heart is with you now = this could be that she passed away from drugs, or it could be that he is trying to help her brake the addiction. She's only happy in the sun = the sun is up in the sky, which is "high" hence continuing the analogy from the first line Did you find what you were after? The pain and the laughter brought you to your knees = people use drugs for an escape and possible "soul searching", here ben says that it doesnt work, it will only ruin your life aka bring you to your knees. But if the sun sets you free, sets you free You'll be free indeed, Indeed = this is ironic because ben is saying that if it makes you feel good getting high than do it, even though up until now its been negative towards drugs Every time I hear you laughing, I hear you laughing It makes me cry = this is back to negatory because laughing meaning high of pot, and this makes ben sad, as he wants her to brake the addiction Like the story of life, of your life Is hello, goodbye = this is hard to understand, but i think it means how an addict may move from town to town trying to run away from the addiction and the bad relationships that come with it. This is what i think and it makes perfect sense to me :) enjoy |
