I noticed all of the old memories with MaryAnn are linked with nature - fast-forward to nowadays and he's "asleep in a car". I picture him sitting at a traffic light in front of a modern day strip mall corporate hell. Sounds pretty crummy, but, he "means the world to...." So - here's my take: he's saying back then, with MaryAnn, everything was natural and primitive and wonderful. Nowadays, its different, but there are wonderful aspects to the season of life he's going through. He seems to confirm this with the lyric "Time isn't kind or unkind, you used to say....." Sort of like, these were different times, each with aspects that were great, even though much different. His line in Biting Your Tail "May you worship the time and its passing...." is a similar theme...Sorry to run on and on - I just love this guy's lyrics so darn much... |
