The Byrds – Wasn't Born to Follow Lyrics 12 years ago
As I understand the lyrics, this song is about a man and a woman having sex, and how the man leaves her after they finish.

>And run across the valley
>Beneath the sacred mountain

That'd be the mound of Venus

>And wander through the forest

These four lines would refer to the pubic hairs

>And when it's time I'll go and lay
>Beside the legendary fountain

Now she's wet with the excitement

>And if you think I'm ready
>You may lead me to the chasm
>Where the rivers of our visions
>Flow into one another

They leave behind the preliminaries and get to business, the chasm being her vagina - "where the rivers of our visions flow into one another" - where he'll finish.

>And lose myself within it
>Cleanse my mind and body

He cums.

>At the mist that they created

Sweat

>Beneath the white cascading water

His semen

>She may beg and she may plead
>And she may argue with her logic
>Mention all the things I'll lose
>That really have no value

He told her he was leaving and she tries to convince him to stay, but he doesn't want a commitment, he doesn't care about her.

>Though I doubt that she will ever
>Come to understand my meaning

That it was a one time thing.

>In the end she'll surely know
>I was not born to follow

But with time she will realize that he's like that.
