i also agree. my post would be a lot longer had it not been for your post putting forth much of the same ideas. I don't like walking around this old and empty house So hold my hand, I'll walk with you my dear (metaphor for all of there friends being gone, and the loneliness it brings, followed by the reminder by the husband that equates to "what am i chopped liver?") The stairs creak as I sleep, it's keeping me awake It's the house telling you to close your eyes (my body is full of aches and pains duh we are really old) Some days I can't even trust myself It's killing me to see you this way (mentally i am not what i once was but i am still with it enough to notice i know and it saddens me) 'Cause though the truth may vary This ship will carry Our bodies safe to shore (i may miss remember the facts/ we may disagree on the facts i will always love you our relationship is steadfast ) There's an old voice in my head that's holding me back I tell her that I miss our little talks (the memory of me in my hay day bothers me because i am not that person any more i know i morn that fact) Soon it will all be over, buried with our past You used to play outside when you were young, Full of life and full of love (our time here is at an end ah yes but think of all we did and all the joy) Some days I feel like I am wrong and I am right Your mind is playing tricks on you my dear (again a reference to mental acuity and losing faith in it) You're gone gone gone away I watch you disappear All that's left is a ghost of you (you not who you once were i watched your fall from greatness you are a shell of the former you) Now we're torn torn torn apart, there's nothing we can do Just let me go, we'll meet again soon (when one is aware of their own decline often there is anger and frustration this means fighting, some times people need to spend time a way from those they love to see the problem isnt the other person) Now wait wait wait for me Please hang around I see you when I fall asleep (this clearly can be taken one of 2 ways the first being what you noted the first being about the eternal sleep that you noted. the second a much less dramatic possibility being the person is talking to the memory of their loved one from a better time ) Hey! Don't listen to a word I say Hey! The screams all sound the same Hey! (again this goes back to being frustrated and fighting with those you love and how it is not their fault) 'Cause though the truth may vary This ship will carry Our bodies safe to shore All in all this is about the decay of old age. watch the first season of boston legal namely the interactions between Denny Crane and Allen Shore, and you see this theme played out there too. |
