Just to add on what MayaMoo said about Charon. Keaton is talking about death, suicide. In Greek Mythology, Hercules goes to the underworld and instead of dying gets out. So when he says "I ain't no Hercules" He is saying that he won't come back. Quite a somber song really. |

| Keaton Henson – About Sophie Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
It's about time I told her, and looked in her eyes: "You're my best friend, I'll love you 'til one of us dies. You're my best friend, I'll love you 'til one of us dies. You're my best friend, I'll love you 'til one of us dies." It took me awhile to notice this. When listening to this part of the song, the tune goes into a more romantic mood. But once he says "You're my best friend, I'll love you till one of us dies." It heads back to that melancholic mood. So to me it is as if he was going to tell her how much he loves her and has always loved her more as a friend and he want's to be more than friends but he can't. So the song to me is about a guy who has always been deeply infatuated with a girl called Sophie and they have been friends for forever. He notices all this little things about her and her life that she doesn't even know. She doesn't seem to know that he cares for her. And when he gets the courage to tell her how he feels he just falls back to where he always was. This song is really magnificent. Never fails to make me smile for the saddest reasons |
