| James Taylor – Never Die Young Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I guess the exact meaning is not the relationship between two people. I think it is about the tragic death of some really young friends of the author and of other people. "We were ring around" could be a metaphore to express the strength of this friendship "Rosie children" means they are brother. "They were circles around the sun" is referred to their generosity and the lovelyness. "Never give up...never die young" is a way to express the sense of self-confidence they gave to the author. The lines from "and we who couldn' t bear" to "tears and sighs" talk about the pain the author and many other people went through when they found out they were dead. "Take the sky and forsake the ground" is clearly referred to death. The other lines could mean that it is possible to overcome the sadness you go through when you see that such dreamful young people died and didn't make their dream come true. There is still the hope that they go "to another land beneath another sky", where they will be happy forever and their deepest dreams will be satisfied. | |
