| Tears for Fears – Mad World Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| Theres a lot of this song that i believe points to depression, coupled with teenage angst about the World and stepping into the "rat race" and the meaninglessness of it all through his eyes during this time. | |
| Bruce Springsteen – Secret Garden Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
This song is entirely based on what it is and what it means to fall in love with a woman. How she will do anything for you, "into her car...into her heart..just far enough so you know shes really there"... but in the end there so many depths and levels to a every woman where her "Secret Garden" is kept that you will never see, even when she "leads down the path" she will "look into your eyes" and you will still know that her secret garden will always remain "a million miles away". Its a part of her you'll never really completely know about, as its just hers and hers alone. |

| Bruce Springsteen – Brilliant Disguise Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Definitely one of the best Boss tracks.. Its meaning is definitely attached to his failed marriage and the consequent "Tunnel of Love" album. When marrying his first wife their background had been completely different and probably was unsure if it was really "true" love at all? He references this in these lines, im assuming referring to his wedding day. "I hold you in my arms as the band plays What are those words whispered baby just as you turn away" Seems that "those words" could be about anything but my guess is "I love You" as she turns away to deal with "more important" matters. When you first meet someone and fall in love with them what you see is not always what you get, but rather a disguise designed to entice the other party. We all do this to varying degrees and as a relationship progresses and ages, those realisms begin to surface. That in essence is the "brilliant disguise" hes talking about. As this disguise is lifted and the cracks in a relationship begin to appear, naturally self doubt begins to surface as you start to wonder why this woman you were so in love with at one time is suddenly is not looking the same and is not looking AT YOU the same. You try and make it work as you "play the faithful man" and she plays the "loving woman" but in the end all that's created is a loveless relationship filled with constant self doubt about yourself. As those doubts begin to surface as you start asking yourself if it is you thats the problem never really realizing that its the relationship was doomed to begin with. "And then it all falls apart when out go the lights I'm just a lonely pilgrim I walk this world in wealth I want to know if it's you I don't trust 'cause I damn sure don't trust myself" In the end, relationships like this do not work and just leads to the lack of loveless relationship/marriage which both parties are to "nice" to do anything about it. It takes time to get past someones true disguises, as we all have plenty of them. "Tonight our bed is cold I'm lost in the darkness of our love God have mercy on the man Who doubts what he's sure of" |
