| Passenger – Walk in the Rain Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| I think it is about psychological modeling. We tend to become or try to follow on our role model's footsteps. Boys tend to look up at their dad and try to become like them because the dad is a male role model. But unfornately many men tend to hide their emotional side - it is almost a Tabu for many men to show their sensitive and feminine side! Musicians, artists and may I say most men, need to embrace this side of their character! It makes people feel human alive and 'home'. Passenger seems to be saying that he feels closer to 'home' when he thinks of his mum's attitude towards life ...and he prefers that than his dad's macho and manly attitude which makes him feel dark, grey and cold! Why are men so scared to show their feelings, cry and wear their heart on their sleeve? ...why should a boy feel different when he realizes that he is sensitive? ...it is liberating to find and accept yourself without thinking of stereotype gender identity! (...who's fault is it? ...the world? ...stereotypes? Media? Or maybe even women, cos as a friend once told me...can a woman handle a man crying?) | |
