My first interpretation when listening that kinda becomes my second interpretation by the end of writing it. lol Hope you have fun reading it and like it. "I was born in a big grey cloud Screaming out a love song All the broken chords and unnamed cries What a place to come from" From what seems like chaotic mess, two people find love and from all the commotion of their love and the act of conception, she is born. How crazy is it that through something as rare, messy, unpredictable, and potentially ugly as love, two people are brought together, and from seemingly nothing, create miraculous beauty, create life, create Florence? >_ "I wish to remain nameless And live without shame 'Cause what's in a name, oh I still remain the same" A name is something we use to hang our perceptions up on when make decisions about what we think we know about people. Don't name me. I don't want to be reduced to what you perceive me to be. My name is useless; were it anything else or nothing at all, I am me. "You can call it what you want You can call me anything you want You can call us what you want You can call me anything you want" Call it, me, us, really anything whatever you would like to. All the names are arbitrary and meaningless until meaning is given to them. Already she has said she does not want to be offered a meaning from any external source. (Perhaps one step farther, it, me, us, everything, we are all the same. All made from the same interchangeable atomic building blocks. Is there really a point in even making a distinction when all things are one?) "Everybody lets you down In this brief? hole of a town What a difference of the rushing out Tell me what you're running from" You can't please everyone. There has never been a person that could meet the expectations of everyone around them or even the expectations of only one other person... so duh. Compared to the what we perceive the eternity of a lifetime the infinite vastness of the universe, practically any segment of time, any particular location is a impossibly minuscule speck in the grander scheme of things. Your movement within our small speck is hardly moving at all. "Tell me what you're running from," (and perhaps we can work through it together because what ever are running from won't be far behind. Face it and let it be done.) "I know everybody lets you down And I'll do the same But know I'll always be around This can remain the same" Oh, and btw, heads up, just cuz I'm saying all this cool stuff and piercing into your soul n' junk, don't think I am perfect either. I will bring you disappointment just as those before me have, but because I love you I will be here. Under no conditions will that change. Call me when you need me Call me anything you want Darling believe me Nothing I haven't done before When you need me, call for me and call me whatever you want because I will be what you need when I arrive. BELIVE IT! ^_^ (Nothing I haven't done before - this could mean that what you need, I will bring to you as I have done in the past... or in the instance what what you ask she has not done in this life, surely when her form was not yet her own and her components were scattered throughout creation, she was a part of something animate or otherwise that either was what is needed, knew what was is need, performed what is needed, encountered what is needed... so basically in one form another, I carry an imprint of or literally contain a part if everything in existence. I'm leaning towards the second interpretation because the ) I have a flexible perception of reality. To me, god is expressed as life, our consciousness all invisibly interconnected. If there is a god consciousness that is completely independently aware, it would still rely entirely on each organism, each consciousness available to draw experience from. This shared experience, whether it is embodied in a separate sentient consciousness or just embodied within the unconscious of every living thing, is what moves us collectively toward a better existence. Because to me god is this, every living thing and all things necessary to support life should be treated with respect and perserved from extinction or complete exhaustion so that this process is not diminished. So because god is everything and everything is god, this song can literally be about anything. The relationship between two people, the relationship between this collective consciousness and the consciousness of individual that might not always be in the position to see the bigger picture and feel calmed by knowing the method to the madness, or even the relationship between you and chair. Remember the chair has a history, has a past life as the components used before it was made and even holds the hopes, aspirations, intentions, and every random occurrence in the lives of the people. All this coming together to create a chair, that after looking at it like that, can you really say it does NOT want to be sat in? It wants to be there for you, easy your suffering, and free to fail sometimes when things go wrong or when it's no longer able to fulfill its duty, or when new super chairs come along. lol. So hah, all interpretations are correct! YAY ^_^ Such good songs from Florence, like alls the time, yeah!!?!?!? Yep TY |
