| Bob Dylan – Tangled Up in Blue Lyrics | 14 years ago |

When he says 'Then he started into dealing with slaves And something inside of him died. She had to sell everything she owned And froze up inside.' I think hes talking about how the whole creative integrity and liberal atmosphere of the movement of musicians and poets living in Greenwich village and playing in cafes at that time, and how the bottom finally fell out and it all became comercialised and the creative integrity and spirit of purpose was lost. |

| Is it just me or does anyone else ever think that Dylan may well be singing to a woman he actually had a relationship with, but at the same time hes singing about his own personal journey and relationship with the human race as a whole. The woman personafies the human race. He heads out to the east( capitalist 'right') and gets her out of a jam, using a little to much force( suggesting his naivity about his hopes for saving her[and people being able to live as sosialists]) then they drive out west( sosialist left) as fast as they could, abandon the car and go their seperate ways( when the initial rush has all run out). The poet is a figurative representation of Dylans muse. he lives with them both( his relationship with human race and his muse[the three parts of what is his artistry]) in a basement( within/absorbed in) Montague street in Greenwhich village. This refers to his time living there and playing in the cafes at night, when he developed as an artist. When he says finally the bottom fell out hes talking about that period of his life, living in greenwhich village, playing in cafes with the revolutionary atmosphere in the air.
