| Elton John – Philadelphia Freedom Lyrics | 14 years ago |

jayhanna, I believe your analysis is right on the money, and reflects exactly what I believed the song to mean. The one exception I might have is that when I have discussed their "gayness" with those friends I have made over the years that were gay, and when I asked them about when they knew, or realized that they were gay, they always answered "from the day that I was born." There was no switch, or change that took place in them, except perhaps to declare themselves openly as such. I believe this sort of understanding helps to explain both that particular line and the line that follows, "Philadelphia freedom took me knee-high to a man." I would be very interested in hearing about any other songs you have analyzed, you are obviously a deep thinker. |
