mf28, I agree with some of your comments, but not with others. My opinions: So we livin' life like a video, I dont think hes saying "we're supposed to be living our lives the same way we view people in a movie or in a music video", I think hes just saying he or they are living the good life, the kind of good life that is depicted in music videos or movies. where the sun is always out and you never get old, and the champagne's always cold, and the music's always good, and the pretty girls just happen to stop by in the hood, and they hop their pretty ass up on the hood of that pretty ass car, (more dialogue based on previous explanation) without in a wrinkle in today, because there is no tomorrow, just a picture perfect day that lasts a whole lifetime, I think thats all self explanatory. I dont think hes saying "because this is the way we view those movies/music videos, and is the way we should live our live". hes just describing the perfect worry free life everyone dreams about. and it never ends because all we have to do is hit rewind, I dont know if hes talking about human evolution. I think he is still describing this perfect life where we dont age, can press rewind whenever we want...etc etc. That sentance goes with whats above. So let's stay in the moment, smoke some week, drink some wine, reminisce, talk some shit, forever young is in your mind, You dont mention anything about this part, but its important. I think he is saying you have the ability to be forever young, its in your mind. leave a mark that can’t erase - neither space nor time so when the director yells cut I'll be fine, I agree with your comments on this part. Fear not when, fear not why, fear not much while were alive, life is for living not living up tight, I dont think hes focusing on future/past like you said, but I do agree hes saying dont worry and just live. see its somewhere up in the sky, fear not die, i’ll be alive for a million years, bye bye, so not for legends, I’m forever young my name shall survive I would assume hes referencing heaven and I agree he is talking about his music/name living on. through the darkest blocks, over kitchen stoves, over Pyrex pots, my name shall be passed down to generations while debating up in barber shops, People talking about him and I agree with you, debating the best. young slung, hung here, um i disagree. He is not talking about the size of his penis. shorty, the nigga from here with a little ambition just what we can become here, no, hes not talking about purpose and hes not saying we all have his level or talent or that we all geniuses, he is saying he is saying with a little desire and effort you can become something here. and as the father passed his story down to his sons ears, young’ll get, younger every year, yeah you may be correct with your interperptation of those lines, but I took them as you become older, the younger get younger every year. maybe you are reading to far into it. |
