| Tom Waits – I Hope That I Don't Fall in Love with You Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
As someone said previously, this song is not to be taken literally, or that is my believing. It is about a man who is denying his feeling towards a woman. He doesn’t want to fall in love, because it makes him depressed. /The music plays and you display your heart for me to see/ I had a beer and now I hear you calling out for me/ The playing music refers to emotions she exposes for him to se and the effect this has on him is like beer. Alcohol makes him more in touch with emotions. He wants to get to know her, but he is afraid of getting hurt although he is already on his way. The guy she was with has left and he has a chance to step in, because he can see that she is just as lonely as he. But he hasn’t got the guts to approach her; he is hiding behind his fear of being blue, even though he is already lonely and has not much to lose. Now it's closing time, the music's fading out Last call for drinks, I'll have another stout. Well I turn around to look at you, you're nowhere to be found, I search the place for your lost face, guess I'll have another round And I think that I just fell in love with you. In the end of the song he knows it is time for him to make his move towards her. But because he has waited too long she disappears and is nowhere to be found. In the last line he admits that he has fallen in love with her. All trough the song he has been denying it in a way and hoping he was not in love. When she is gone he feels he can be true because there is no longer a danger of falling in love and being blue, because she is gone. In a way he tricks himself because he has fallen in love, but he let her slip away and now he will feel blue. |

| Tom Waits – You Can Never Hold Back Spring Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
The song is obviously about remaining positive trough rough times. Spring stands for light, birth, starting over etc. No matter how low you feel, at some point spring will come. You can never hold back spring, You can be sure I will never stop believing The blushing rose, it will climb Spring ahead or fall behind Winter dreams the same dream, every time. He will never stop believing in a fresh start, because the blushing rose will climb. The blushing rose is an affirmation of his optimism. Even though you've lost your way The world is dreaming, dreaming of spring. Even though you have lost you way and feel alone, you are not alone, because the whole world is dreaming of brightness and a chance to start over. So close your eyes Open your heart To the one who's dreaming of you And you can never hold back spring Remember everything that spring can bring. He basically says just let the good things happen and don’t worry because in the end everything will be okay, because you can’t hold back all the good things from happening, just like you can’t hold back spring. |
