| Pink Floyd – Arnold Layne Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
The song is about a guy who got drunk and stole womens underwear. The song implies that he also put the underwear on and posed in front of a mirror. It also says he was locked up in jail (probably for theft and this very reason). The song also says "it's not the same, it takes 2 to know" which implies Syd Barrett also did this. People cross dressing today is still frowned upon by many people, so admitting this in 1960 would have been completely out of the question. By writing this, he wrote in story form and takes on an experienced and sympathetic point of view... Sometimes people have something to say and don't want to admit or say it at the same time so they put it in a story or riddle form. You just have to listen with your mind and make sense of the totality. |
