| The Who – Athena Lyrics | 13 years ago |

Here is what I take from this song, especially being named Athena myself... He's in love with a woman he never knew existed. A woman he can hold safely close to him and trust and love.. When he questions himself and his what he is feeling, he reassures himself that he'll be fine and get along because, rationally, she's just a girl.. but to him she's a bomb, she blows him away inside in every way. He wants to love her.. He loves her from a far... She makes him feel peaceful in the tumultuous world in which he lives. But again, he tells himself she can't be real, he'll be fine and get alone, she's just a girl. Without her his heart aches. He's flattened inside and needs to love her, she would never even have to ask. The dream of a white horse and a snake livin' in his ribcage, to me, is evil itself in disguise and he sees it...how it is hurting her. He feels helpless, a priest who's unable to save her, show her the evil..but still he's happy how she makes him feel.. The face of the child is Athena. He wonders how long her innocence of the child she is will remain with the lurking evil around her. She loves him..but because he loves her from a far he's with another. He so much can't believe she loves him it's like waking up in heaven on an empty meter because she's stuck and blinded by the evil before her...and he hates the creep for it. But she's a bomb in every way to him. Just a girl...but a bomb... |
