| Train – You Can Finally Meet My Mom Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Truly a beautiful song if you can wrap your head around the lyrics. To me, the songwriter is coming to terms with the recent loss of a loved one. He starts off with regretting the time he spent without his loved one, saying that he shouldn't have focused so much on work and pay rather than taking advantage of the loved ones he had on this earth. It's sort of a warning to listeners in a roundabout kind of way to "live everyday as it's your last" The songwriter continues with countless social and cultural references of famous people who have passed. As important as they were in their time and age, the songwriter asserts that he'd rather spend time with his loved one. It's kind of a cute way in saying "you're more important" than the typical "who would you like to meet in heaven" type cast. Finally, the main point of this song. "You can finally meet my mom." I didn't get it at first but I think the meaning is blatantly obvious. The songwriter, who is still living, lost his mom in some time before the passing of his significant other. Unable to have ever introduced his significant other to his mom because of her passing, this is the final piece of reconciliation, his final piece of moving on because he realizes that now that his significant other has passed, she will be able to meet his mom in heaven. I think the church choir even strengthens this point a bit.! Who knows |
