| Bob Dylan – Like a Rolling Stone Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
So many people think this song is about a specific person. And I don't necessarily disagree with that, but at the same time, I do. I think that this song addresses life itself. Everything about life is like a rolling stone. Life has it moments. You're high and youre low. You have bad moments and you have good. Life is a single solitary thing that rolls and rolls down a hill forever, all alone. Maybe it's a little deep, but it's my interpretation. |

| Birdy – Skinny Love (Bon Iver cover) Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
Okay, So first off I would like to define Skinny Love. Skinny Love- (n.) when two people love each other but are too shy to admit it but they still show it I think this is talking about how these two people feel an immense love for each other, and show it by doing things for each other, taking care of each other etc. But never actually say it to each other, hence the reason why I put the definition from the Urban Dictionary on there. Here is a lyric breakdown: Come on skinny love just last the year Pour a little salt we were never here In this case, they use salt with the correlation with wounds. "We were never here," is referring to the wounds that she is healing. My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer (Once again with the wounds that has been healed, the blood from the wounds) I tell my love to wreck it all Cut out all the ropes and let me fall My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my Right in the moment this order's tall In this case, she is saying that she has told her love to let her go. To let her free fall without him, because she wants him to have a real love, not a skinny love. Her order is tall because all she can think about is her relationship, how to tell him she loves him. I told you to be patient I told you to be fine I told you to be balanced I told you to be kind In the morning I'll be with you But it will be a different "kind" I'll be holding all the tickets And you'll be owning all the fines In this case, I think that when she told him to be patient, it was telling him to wait, for what he didn't know, but she knew that it was going to be telling him that she loved him. When it talks about her being with him in the morning, and how it will be a different kind, it means that after she tells him she loves him, he will tell her the same, no longer will it be Skinny Love, like it was the morning before, but now it will be love for real this time. In the end she is saying that when she tells him she loves him, there may be consequences of mass proportion, and he may not love her back, but it still worth the risk. Come on skinny love what happened here Suckle on the hope in lite brassiere My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my Sullen load is full; so slow on the split I think in this part, it is talking about without them truly knowing their love for eachother, they hold onto the hope of them loving eachother, no matter how sad they get. They still show each other their love, but neither one of them know for sure if that love is real. I told you to be patient I told you to be fine I told you to be balanced I told you to be kind Now all your love is wasted? Then who the hell was I? Now I'm breaking at the britches And at the end of all your lines In this case it is talking about how she is finally telling him she loves him, but he never wanted it that way. He wanted a Skinny Love, for a reason she couldn't fathom. She is breaking at the britches with anger and curiosity, and she realizes it's all ending. Who will love you? Who will fight? Who will fall far behind? Now she is asking him, without her love, whether it be skinny or full, what may happen. Because even though their love was not perfect, and it was broken, they both could not live without it, and they both know it. Come on skinny love My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my That's all I have to say. |

My Interpretation of this song is a lot like the ones before me. I think this song is basically talking about a teenager feels this pressure, to grow up, to become someone more mature, and all he wants to do is be... free, I guess. Take this set of lyrics for example: And we can whisper things Secrets from my American dreams Baby needs some protection But I'm a kid like everyone else I think he isn't necessarily talking to one person, but he isn't trying to shout it out from the rooftops. It's kind of like his secret. That he doesn't want to grow up, that he wants to stay a kid, hence the part about whispering secrets from his American dreams. He doesn't want anyone else to hear, but yet he wants everyone to hear. Not only is he talking to society and assuring them that he doesn't have to grow up, but he also trying to assure himself. Now, onto the part about being part of someone's masquerade. This is another one of those great lyrics that can be interpreted in two ways, and either one of them works, but one is a little bit better, a little bit mind boggling. You could either think: 1. Someone is sick of being in a relationship where all they do is tag along, all they do is stay in the background whilst someone shines in the spotlight. 2. Someone has to live with the idea of one day growing up. Becoming part of the "parade" that adulthood is. I think in this case #2 is the one that is a little bit more, unique. So in general I think this is a secret play on society, but is covered to seem like it would be a love song or something of that sort at the beginning and the only way you figure out what it is actually singing, is to actually look at the lyrics and take the double meaning and analyze them. |
