That is a very good reply. The lyrics are very hard to interpret. They leave a lot of room to think about and for everyone to find his own truth. I mean, there's so much to think about "3 wise men" (James Blunt), so what can one say about this piece of art? The general tone is dark, that's clear. Lot's of problems, lot's of guilt. I don't know know that much about Leonard Cohen (RIP) but I see him as as a man who sees life as an ever ongoing struggle to find out what's right and what's wrong. With no clear answers, lots of decisions, which both are right and wrong at the same time. And it's only YOU who'll have to make a decision and live with it. Love and sex are (if given freedom of choice and leaving war and starvation outside) the major decisions we'll make in our live. So I think Leonard is talking about these things a lot and that you'll find yourself inescapably guilty if you'll given in to your lust. And also if you don't. It's about making decision and live with them. |
