| Bob Dylan – 4th Time Around Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
john lennon wrote norwegian wood to imitate dylan, to try and get some fame by trying out what dylan does, but with this song, bobby d just totally destroys lennon and basically says, thats a pretty good song but im still the king. its the complexity of the song, the sheer unknowingness and beauty of a complex relationship that dylan can detail perfectly but that lennon just touches upon. this song starts out pretty clearly with what seems to be the end of a fight that dylan and his romantic interest just had. It almost seems like she'd made bobby d cry and then says that he needs to give back to her in this relationship because so far its been just her working hard and giving him her love. And then dylans lady is getting ready to leave but she ends up kicking him out until he realizes hes forgotten his "shirt". now i think its pretty hard to forget to wear a shirt after a big fight and here i think the shit represents his heart, he realizes that she still hasn't and that he either wants it back from her or to make things better so he goes back to try and fix everything. so then while hes waiting for her to think about the offer that he's making for his "shirt" he starts to think of another woman, the ominous "you" that takes over the final verse, and shows that hes in this intense love triangle, with both women being very important to dylan but him not having a clue to which woman he wants but at this point he decides he wants the second girl, the "you" so he asks for some rum and dylan and the first girl start drinking until she becomes drunk and he has her for one last great time of sex and leads her to believe that everything with them will be all good. but then he just gets up, goes through her drawer for some money or whatever, and takes off. he goes to the second girl, the "you" because she still loves him. dylan has too many doubts about the first girl, he either doesn't feel the right way about her or she has too many problems and just feels safer with the second girl because she welcomes him back, she accepts him and looks past his fame and looks into the real man and loves him for that. |
