@[sparrowleaf:6733] Possibly, I was thinking it was more indicating how quickly someone erm... sap, honey and tar all being various consistancies and their connection to the tree trunk.. wood etc.. although honey and tar not direct from a tree both are strong ties to it, sap being like the blood of the tree, honey being closely linked ie. wild bees nesting in or on the tree, using the trees flowers to help produce the honey in some cases, some types of tar being made from wood... I thought it was predicting the outcome of the finale. |

@[pocketvision:6732] I was always pretty sure it said that and it made me feel messed up too and kind of tainted the song song for me. I re-listened and I'm still not sure, I don't know if Cocorosie released any official lyrics on their website or if it was included in the physical copy of the album. I started to think more deeper about it and IF it does infact say this, I think it could be more about when adults think back to their younger days and reminisce. As an example, I'm thinking of when people over a certain age tell you of their first sexual experiences and still recall those experiences like they have just happened. They ARE thinking of a young person sexually, but thats due to them also being a child at the time, yet they are now an adult, so I think maybe its about the lapse in the mind. Elderly people saying ' Well I still feel 16 inside' I think it could also be about when you have known people since childhood and your feelings/thoughts about them as you grow older can almost become 'ageless' because the first seeds were planted during your childhoods, when the first bonds happened, so in a sense you can see ALL aspects of them. That does not happen when you meet someone as an adult as your memories and bonds are created in adulthood... just a thought. |
