Well, I do appreciate it and I enjoyed your analysis of this song. I associate it with death though, mainly because I watched a movie called "The Lovely Bones" about a 14 yr. old girl who was murdered. Even though it wasn't a true story, it very well can be any story for a child who is murdered. The reason it stuck with me is because when I was a teen, I was involved in a search for a young girl who was kidnapped. Since it was the final day for the search, and the search had gone on for several days, they told us to look for anything that could be a grave, or any other signs of her body. We didn't find her that day and on the way home, I couldn't stop crying. I wanted so badly to find her alive and I was severely depressed. Believe it or not, she was found the very next day - and she was alive, and then I really cried - totally overwhelmed in happiness! She was one of the very few found alive, although she had been molested. She hadn't eaten in several days; She was covered in cuts, scratches and bug bites, and was living in a filthy grassy ditch with her kidnapper, who was caught with her by the Border Patrol. I'm sure she developed emotional problems from it, but still, she lived, and as long as you still have life, you always have a chance to live the best life you can. Sadly to say, I also associate this song with death in that, I grew up closely involved in law enforcement (police explorers), and attended eight police funerals (two were double funerals in the same day), and one was suicide. I never went into law enforcement after so many funerals. I also have known too many people who committed suicide. As for why I've seen so many deaths and suicides, I have no clue. (I also have seen two children hit by cars and die in front of me. The first was when I was seven: my classmate died in front of me.) I've asked God that question many times, but I guess that's just the way it is. In counseling, they actually called me a "$hit Magnet" (which I didn't appreciate). For a long time, I thought everyone experienced the kind of life that I have, but they said no. They also told me I should write a book, but I never have. So, as you can probably see by now, this song has a LOT of meaning to me. There is another song that helped me through my severe depression called "Stand A Little Rain" by the NItty Gritty Dirt Band. I don't associate that with relationships. I associate it with depression. If you ever read this, listen to that song. It's an excellent song and as I said, it helped a great deal to pull me out of my depression. Thank you again for taking the time to put your analysis into writing, I'm saving it in my documents, along with the lyrics to "Song of the Siren," so I can read it from time to time. You helped me a lot. :) PS: I'm sorry this was so long, but reading your analysis got the wheels in my little brain turning, lol. |
