| Bob Dylan – It's All Over Now, Baby Blue Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Could it be that Dylan is Baby Blue? He has to stop listening to everyone's expectations as to where he should go. He must leave those stepping stones and go his own way even though there may be a price to pay. I've enjoyed singing and playing this song for years but have never looked at from the point of view that Dylan is Baby Blue. It seems more interesting from that perspective. |

| The tambourine man is his muse and he wants to follow his muse to experience where it takes him. | |
| Bob Dylan – Farewell Angelina Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Isn't this something most of us went through? Our childhood was being taken from us. During the transition to adulthood, everything seemed confused with the noise of war and the idiotic behavior in the world you were about to enter. Didn't you ever want a quiet place to try to figure all this out? I did. | |
| Bob Dylan – Senor (Tales of Yankee Power) Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
After reading the lyrics and reading the above comments then reading the lyrics again, I understand the song to be a song about salvation. Although I'm not a Biblical scholar by any means, it seems to be about an epiphany - Saul's conversion on the road to Damascus. He is on a journey but doesn't know where. Is he heading for some salvation or headed for hell? Everything is uncertain and his country (existence)is not what he believed. Then he strips and kneels, he opens himself up to a higher power to be guided; he learns that this isn't a dream like his previous reality but is the real thing. He is floored buy this realization, he is transforming and confused and asks for time to absorb this reality. He then wants to disconnect from his previous life, over turn the table. He has now accepted some kind of spirituality and expresses his desire to follow this road. This is another "quest" song like "Tambourine Man" but this time he understands it and his quest has ended. In Tambourine man, he wanted to experience; in "Senor" he wants peace. The wheel of life has turned; innocence to confusion to experience and finally salvation. I didn't mean to write all this but this is one of my favorite Dylan songs and I couldn't figure out why. It haunted me. Your interpretations have enabled me to find my interpretation and I appreciate that. |
