| Nick Drake – Clothes Of Sand Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| this song is definitely about lament Daface but I believe that it is more about his lsd experience than anything...that website above is a nice resource but i think he fails to look too indepth at the meanings of the words in a singular sense rather than looking at this beautiful poem holistically. "does it now seem worth the color of skies/ see the air through painted eyes" this appears to me be a clear reference to lsd and also the main point of the song...clothes of sand elicits an image so magnificent at the same time so fitting to the meaning of the song..the ever changing personalities we inhabit have a way of distorting our perception of the world...he is wondering if these new perspectives are worth the trouble he has to go through and is it all worth it in the end.."will you worship moons and winter nights" which to me is a clear reference to his battle with depression...i hate to mention the lsd because so many people want to distill beautiful lyrics with imaginative metaphors to simple drug references...the meaning should be interpreted however you feel it should be which makes everyones responses valid and makes songs like this so universal in their appeal...ps nick drake is a genius | |
