I think you are all going in the right direction with this. But I disagree. I believe that the girl in this song is ugly. Flat out ugly. Even the singer sees it, but his point is that he doesn't care that she isn't attractive. He is trying to tell her that she doesn't need sparkling beauty to be with him. He thinks she is beautiful as she is. He says, "She didn't need to find her beauty, she didn't need to find a way to show me." In plain words, he is saying, "Honey, you don't need to be pretty to impress me. He also states, "She had a very pretty face, but not the way you would think so." This, obviously, states that she is not pretty the way YOU would think so. But to him, she is a treasure. A real piece of art. What angers the singer the most is that people deliberately point it out to put her down. He says, and you can tell it hurts him by the tone of his voice, "They took her moments of feeling alive, and made them moments of dying inside." He hates that people would try to put her down for not being attractive. He sees her as the "one song left in his symphony" no matter how beautiful she is. |

I think this song is about sexual harassment/rape. I feel like alot of the lyrics refer back to it, like... "It happened very quickly But it seemed to last for hours And everything was crisp and clean Til it all came crashing down So much fire and debris" Obviously you can sense that something bad happened to him, that felt like it took a long time. "That I was nearly blind with panic And there was no one anywhere to turn to be saved From the tyranny and cavalcade And all the use was lost And the more that I would struggle The more that I became entwined" There was a struggle that scared the person, and no one could help him anywhere. "And as I cast my eyes to the sky I felt your touch So gentle and so soothing that I knew I had been saved But my movements were so labored and my will had been betrayed But my lips they work alone now and to them I am enslaved And the slightest indiscretions that I made were met with rage And I burned to be free And then you rescued me with your voice And beckoned me beside you and your touch was alive Sensational and vibrant" Now here is where it gets confusing, because they are confused about how they felt about it. That's why I'm leaning towards sexual harassment. Maybe this person had dated the person who did this to him. in the line, "I felt your touch So gentle and so soothing that I knew I had been saved But my movements were so labored and my will had been betrayed But my lips they work alone now and to them I am enslaved And the slightest indiscretions that I made were met with rage And I burned to be free" show that they at first thought it was a good feeling, but were very much betrayed. |
