| Bob Dylan – When I Paint My Masterpiece Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
While razajacs synopsis is definitely a good take, I still can't help thinking something different. I can't go into as much detail, but it strikes me as telling a story of a simple fuck-up. Someone with big dreams, and a big heart that shows big promise, but just can't keep it together. As if when he says "when i paint my masterpiece", he's delusional... saying "one day, you'll see". It's always been the closing lines that have made me think this: "... had to be held down by big police. But, someday everythings gonna be different....". As if everything else described was some crazy early 20's romp thru Europe, taking acid, causing some major commotion, and getting arrested for it. I dunno... but that's what it's always meant to me. *shrug* |
