listened to this song about a million times, never really thought deeply about the lyrics, perhaps I'm slow on the uptake with this one. But it hit me recently- 'if we sink// we lift our love"- to me means means that there love exists only when they fall away from each other. I like the visual affect of 'sink' vs 'lift' and I've interpret litrally in my head, the people are broken/sunken but the love is only ever more exhaulted. Sometimes the best thing you can do for each other is to leave each other behind, allow each other to self-distruct and fall into our bad habits, do your worst. I relate it to that age old concept of love as being this mystical outside force that exists outside of the people it brings together. Obviously not all love works out in reality, it has the power to lift you with it or leave you behind. either way, the love doesn't stop existing. On a deeper level, it makes me think of the ancients who made the distinguishment between 'earthly love' and the highest most exhaulted form of love. They believed that there was a higher experience of love that humans, by virtue of existing in the sinful/flawed earthily world, were not predisposed to. They believed in varying degrees of love and that through the highest forms of love humans could transcend their flawed earthly state, tap into something other wordly. However, the highest, purest form of love was truly believed to be something of the Gods and only accessed after death. Either way, I interpret the song in a positive way, no love is wasted, yes sometimes it doesn't work out in reality but it's an experience and depth of emotion you reach and it continues somewhere itself. It's like the cliche every failure is a lesson. |

| This song was number 1 around the time I was born, my mum always sang it to me as a kid because she said it was how she felt when she became a mum. | |

Listening to this song... it's like when you remember something and you can't distinguish if it was a dream or if it really happened. It's so vague and yet vivid; 'and you're even more beautiful there than i remember you being' To me, that line is an amazingly accurate portrait of our twisted reality; it captures the fact that sometimes we 'recognise' people in our dreams, that dreams alter our reality and reality alters our dreams. 'i dont think / i ever heard you speaking/ cause i was too wrapped up in the dream i was dreaming' That's an incredible line. It's like saying I didn't know the real you as well as I knew the person I imagined as you and saw in my dreams, almost like having a seperate reality with this person. Sometimes you really feel like that about people. Sometimes we say very little to certain people in our lives but we feel we have a some kind of parallel dialogue with them. |
