| Bruce Hornsby – The Show Goes On Lyrics | 1 year ago |
| I can’t give specific interpretations to each lyric, but, to me, this song expresses the bittersweet pain of life. It reflects disappointment, but it also reflects strength and resilience of humanity. Beautifully haunting song. | |
| Van Halen – Jump! Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
The lyrics represent a conversation between DLR and a person thinking about committing suicide. The first paragraph is DLR saying, "Yeah, I know life is tough and sucks at times, but you keep going." I get up, and nothin' gets me down You got it tough, I've seen the toughest around And I know, baby, just how you feel You got to roll with the punches and get to what's real The second paragraph is the depressed person saying how tough things are for him: Ah, can't you see me standin' here I got my back against the record machine (wrecking machine?) I ain't the worst that you've seen Ah, can't you see what I mean? The chorus could be either DLR or the depressed man. Same format for second verse: DLR first paragraph, then depressed man second paragraph. |
