| Eric Whitacre – A Boy and a Girl Lyrics | 15 years ago |

Though I think the comments above are plausible interpretations, I do not think the true love idea captures the complete meaning behind the lyrics. Here is how I would interpret this piece: Once their love was young, bright, warm, and sweet, like oranges. Later, their love and their kisses have become sour, like limes. Finally, there are no kisses, just the silence of two souls who have drifted apart "giving silence for silence." This, to me, would be a more accurate interpretation of the meaning behind the lyrics. The music is also very telling to this interpretation as well. |
