It's very interesting to read every comment. Actually I do believe it makes sense the interpretation about the drugs, however, everytime I hear it I remember when I read that Bernard Summer said it was about a long lost love. And I may be relating it automatically to my own experiences, but to me there are parts that talk about letting go someone you've been in love with. "Oh, you've got green eyes Oh, you've got blue eyes Oh, you've got grey eyes And I've never seen anyone quite like you before No, I've never met anyone quite like you before" There is a phrase that says that the eyes are the window to the soul. I think the eye-colour changing may refer to the feeling when you look somebody that you think you knew converting into someone else (by lying or cheating), also, blue and grey are colors often related to sadness. And even though this person hurt you, you still think that is special. "Heaven, a gateway, a hope Just like a feeling I need, it's no joke" Well, love, when corresponded, it's heaven. It may be a gateway to your problems. A hope of things getting better in your life when you are in a relationship. "And though it hurts me to see you this way Betrayed by words, I'd never heard, too hard to say" I think it is about break-up, but I'm not sure if it is the speaker who broke up. When you break-up with someone you've been for a long time, you are not sure if what you are hearing/saying is real, because you imagined both of you with each other forever. "Up, down, turn around Please don't let me hit the ground Tonight I think I'll walk alone I'll find my soul as I go home" You are confused and you know you are alone again. "Each way I turn, I know I'll always try To break this circle that's been placed around me From time to time, I find I've lost some need That was urgent to myself, I do believe" Aagain, since you've been in this relationship for so long, you feel like you are trapped. You are not sure if you want to be with anyone else, but then you start remembering that the last months/years wasn't as magic as you thought. You were slowly separating; you didn't feel the need to be together as you felt when you started dating the person. "Bolts from above hurt the people down below People in this world, we have no place to go Oh, it's the last time Oh, I've never met anyone quite like you before Oh no, I've never met anyone quite like you before" This is about assuming that you are alone, and everyone else is in their own way. And as you accept that was your last encounter with that unique person, you slowly wave goodbye. |
