| Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds – (Are You) The One That I've Been Waiting For? Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
There are no disappointments nor sadness (because of ex-lovers) nor anything like that in this song. For me this is one of the most beautiful love songs ever. And it's completely optimistic! It's so beautiful in a mature, realistic way, as opposed to a classic romantic, immaturely passionate way. This is a song about the expectation of the one true love, which is coming, but realistically, you always ask yourself "are you the one that I've been waiting for"? The key lyrics are, of course, these (so beautifully put): "Oh, we will know, won't we? The stars will explode in the sky! But they don't, do they? Stars have their moment and then they die." It's goodbye to the childish way of thinking about love and accepting the approaching mature love. No, even when the true love comes, there won't be any star explosions in the sky! And even if there are explosions, it's not what counts! That kind of stuff passes quickly (that moment od crazy, explosive love quickly dies, as it presumably died in cases of the former lovers), but something else is what you should look for - all down your veins - and recognize and welcome the true love when it comes. |
