| Blind Melon – Soak the Sin Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
For me it looks pretty simple: it's about leaving home and the turning point it is in author's life. "I've got to buy some shoes These ones are getting lose My feet are shrinking in the Sun, and it ain't fun But it looks like rain up ahead In forty miles. A big rainbow took the blue sky." So his shoes are getting loose and he is shrinking where he is. He also tells that new things stand close - "rain up ahead in forty miles". Next part is like telling goodbye to his mother and jumping into new life - "jump in the river and let the water soak the sin in my soul". It sounds like leaving home comes with some kind of sin making. "I'm gonna tell my momma, I love Her so and thank you for Giving me these bones o gold I'm gonna run from my home Jump in the river and let the Water soak the sin in my soul." And finally, already out of home, the author is already living his life the way he wants - seemingly full of sins and drugs. "Fine time we all crossed lines make the music that makes us Feel fine Rednecks on sun decks hearing a Hillside Romeo say "Boys this is the Good shit, so come on all and eat A little bit."" |
