| Bob Dylan – Don't Think Twice, It's All Right Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
I recently heard this song for the first time. I just got out (that is, narrowly escaped being trapped in) my first relationship.That in mind, I think there's a bit of double meaning in this song. See, Dylan says a lot here. Yeah, he's talking to someone else. He's saying, well, "Don't think about what went wrong now, it's not going to change anything. Don't start trying to show me your better side, even though maybe I still wish a little that you would do better... but our relationship was never rooted deep enough for that to be likely anyway. Don't come crawling back, either, because you and I both know that's not like you at all. You're getting older, yeah, but you're still immature. You're never going to be satisfied the way you are now. So you know, all the best to you. This isn't a good bye, considering how this wasn't a good thing. Not saying you were horrible to me, but you didn't do as well as you could have, so this was a waste of time. But hey, don't think about it, it's alright." So it seems. Still, each verse could very well be him talking to himself. He could just be sitting down, with a bitter taste in his mouth, mumbling all the words he wanted to say to her with no one around. Then by the end, telling himself, I've got to stop thinking about this, it is what it it, but continuing to think about it again in the next verse, and the next one, and so on. Don't think twice, it's alright, could just be his way of telling himself, don't linger on the past too much. Keep on moving forward. At least, that's what I think. |

| Björk – All Is Full of Love Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I never really understood this song, even though I knew Bjork for what felt like most of my life. And then recently, I fell for this guy (who, funny enough, liked Bjork as much as I did). And one day we were sitting down listening to music and this song starts playing, and he's singing along and I'm sitting there... My heart is paralyzed... And I tell him like, a week later that I like him. And he didn't like me the same way. But we're friends, you know, whatever. And this song just bothered me after that whole thing. I totally hated it. And then I realized what it means. Some of us spend so much time focused on a love that will never happen. It's like staring at a single flower in a meadow. You kinda block yourself. You're so preoccupied with someone that you don't realize that love is all around you. Maybe not from where you wanted it to be, but it's there. Maybe you haven't found it yet, but it's there. Anyway, that's what I keep telling myself. :D Haha~ But I still like that guy. Oh well. Maybe I'll learn sooner or later. |
