| The Jimi Hendrix Experience – Castles Made Of Sand Lyrics
| 11 years ago
|
|
For me when I started listening to it, this song has always been a symbol for the course of change in my life, and how things come and go as time goes on, with the sea representing time, and the castles being certain memories or events that have been washed away by the infinite continuation of time. Although I love the interpretation of dreams based on weak foundation. |

| Dio – As Long As It's Not About Love Lyrics
| 12 years ago
|
|
For me, this song is about one's discovery of the inevitable decay of love through his own desensitization to the concept of love, presumably brought on by someone whom he was previously in love with who did him wrong and broke his heart. "Lay beside me now, and tell me lies.........as long as it's not about love...". This decay is represented as the "magic". But as his life goes on, he tries helplessly to hold on to the love that is fading from his soul so he may exist in a blissful state of stillness in time ("Shall we sail off the edge of the world, fall forever, and never look behind"), as he realizes that love is the key to peace and happiness in a universal sense, and that the reason for our imperfections is our disconnection to the true meaning of love. "If the magic comes, between us, and we never meet again, take a part of me away, 'cause maybe it's all about love." |
