| Sting – Windmills Of Your Mind Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
To me, this song is like an ever accelerating spiraling descent into madness, brought on by the subject going over the same thing again and again in their head, perhaps a relationship breakup, as hinted in the final verse. The first verse to me speaks of being out of control, lost, and feeling alone, the balloon flying away, the snowball down a mountain, Earth's 'apple' silent in space. The second verse describes to me an increasing darkness of the soul and feeling trapped. Still the loneliness of the apple silent in space. In the third verse, the subject is starting to confuse thoughts/dreams/reality and question their own memories. The images unwind and everything is falling apart. The subject is so obsessed that they loose track of time and begin to find it hard to distinguish between real life and reality. They have fallen, out of control, into a loop of insanity. |
