First of all, interpretation means taking something and defining or deciding what it means to you, so nobody's interpretation is wrong.. I just wanted to throw that out there. Okay, here goes my interpretation: Blue jeans, white shirt Walked into the room you know you made my eyes burn It was like James Dean, for sure You so fresh to death & sick as ca-cancer You were sorta punk rock, I grew up on hip hop But you fit me better than my favorite sweater, and I know That love is mean, and love hurts But I still remember that day we met in December, oh baby! I think here she is talking about that moment when you meet someone and you are so awestruck and infatuated that you are speechless and have that deer-caught-in-headlights look because you are so blown away by them. I think the difference in music tastes that she references is only to signify their differing backgrounds and then she goes on to say that it doesn't matter because they just "fit" together. And then she goes on to tell him that she will always love him and never stop, and that is only because he is the one for her. Big dreams, gangster Said you had to leave to start your life over I was like: "no please, stay here," We don't need no money we can make it all work But he headed out on Sunday, said he'd come home Monday I stayed up waitin', anticipatin' and pacin' but he was Chasing paper "Caught up in the game" that was the last I heard I think this is just about someone being a workaholic and maybe embezzling money from a company or doing things off the table. It doesn't necessarily mean drug-running or dealing. She says that she would rather be broke and with him than have all the money in the world and be a part from him. When she says that he left on Sunday and said he'd come back on Monday but doesn't show, just shows that he chose his career over her and he fell in love with money and an extravagent lifestyle. You went out every night And baby that's alright I told you that no matter what you did I'd be by your side Cause Ima ride or die Whether you fail or fly Well shit, at least you tried. But when you walked out that door, a piece of me died I told you I wanted more-but that not what I had in mind I just want it like before We were dancin' all night Then they took you away- stole you out of my life You just need to remember She says that he was going out and partying and messing around basically, and that she didn't care because their love was still her first priority and always would be no matter if he was successful or not and even if he tried and failed, she would stand by him. And then he leaves one last time to work it all out and it's the last time she sees him and then he ends up in jail because he couldn't make it work career-wise. It kinda reminds me of the like.. 1950s gangster movies though.. I love it. |
