| Wilco – Black Moon Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
And I'm wating For you Waiting forever Are you awake now too? My initial perspective was that of an individual lamenting about not having yet met someone who has really been able to connect with them. It seems they are singing to a fictional individual in hopes they might actually exist, unfortunately it may not be in the right time or place as the singer. And upon later reflection, it may be also about waiting for a loved one after death, on the other side. Or perhaps it is about reincarnation of a loved one. |

| Bob Dylan – Just Like a Woman Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I enjoyed everyone's interpretations so far. I tend to agree more with c.f, but on a different basis than money. I see Dylan as a man seeking a meaningful and honest, probably committed, bond with somebody. Initially, he is allured by this female due to her mature and earnest appearance. However, amidst their relationship he begins to witness devious, dishonest, immature behavior, her true nature. My vision is that he puts up with this behavior, denying the realization that she's no good for him. But, alas, eventually it leads to the end of their romance, and he comes to the bitter realization that he was a tool, he was played by her. I love the lyric: "When we meet again, introduced as friends. Please don't let on that you knew me when I was hungry and it was your world." To me, he's admitting to himself, and maybe directly to her, that he was a fool for putting up with her and initially falling for her ruse. Ultimately, I think the song serves him cathartically. He's reciting his insights from the experience. | |
