| Gordon Lightfoot – Sundown Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Not so sure, but I suspect Sundown is a ballad about the objectification of a woman/women and the resulting problems: obsession/drinking/addiction, frustration, blame, distrust, paranoia. Not to say that the woman doesn't play upon the objectification. Take the third stanza, after having described her lustful beauty (a sailor's dream, laying back, satin dress, room/confess, etc): "I can picture every move that a man could make, GETTING LOST IN HER LOVING IS YOUR FIRST MISTAKE." Likely can't get the woman if one's mind sees only the prize. Keep doing it, the frustration builds. |
