I think he's writing about chaos. The universe is in organized chaos and Dylan had to "rearrange their faces" to make sense of it all. |

| Bob Dylan – I Pity the Poor Immigrant Lyrics
| 15 years ago
|
|
I always thought it was a song about an immigrant who was, because of need, to become a member of the Mafia. He "uses all of his power to do evil". He cheats and he lies. He hates his life and he fears his death because he knows it will be violent. He "eats" but is never satisfied. He loves wealth more than those around him. He tramples through the mud (burying a body?). He builds his town with blood (self-explanatory). When he is finally taken out, he is glad that his wicked life is over...."his gladness comes to pass". |
