| Don McLean – American Pie Lyrics | 5 years ago |
|
I am aware this is not the intended version of Don Mclean, but this is an interpretation nonetheless, and when backed up with textual evidence it can be supported. It's my version, anyway. A long long time ago I can still remember how That music used to make me smile (Remembrance of the beauty of that time.) And I knew if I had my chance That I could make those people dance And maybe they'd be happy for a while (Inspiration to make music like this very song.) But February made me shiver With every paper I'd deliver Bad news on the doorstep I couldn't take one more step I can't remember if I cried When I read about his widowed bride Something touched me deep inside The day the music died (About Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J. P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson who died in a plane crash in February of 1959. He delivered papers that told of this cultural and emotion tragedy to the nation.) So Bye, bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry And them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singin' this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die (This piece contains many Biblical references, so this may refer to a Biblical drying of the oceans.) Did you write the book of love And do you have faith in God above If the Bible tells you so? Do you believe in rock and roll? Can music save your mortal soul? And can you teach me how to dance real slow? Well, I know that you're in love with him 'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym You both kicked off your shoes Man, I dig those rhythm and blues (Telling of the wonderful times when the music was alive and when society was experimenting with new musical styles.) I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck With a pink carnation and a pickup truck (I was young, alive, and energetic, filled with excitement, and most of all, a dreamer.) But I knew I was out of luck The day the music died I started singin' Bye, bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry And them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singin' this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die Now, for ten years we've been on our own And moss grows fat on a rolling stone But, that's not how it used to be (The Rolling Stones are gaining popularity after this crash, but that’s not the way it used to be, in those beautiful days we yearn and miss.) When the jester sang for the king and queen In a coat he borrowed from James Dean And a voice that came from you and me Oh and while the king was looking down The jester stole his thorny crown The courtroom was adjourned No verdict was returned (The Jester appears a couple times in this song. He is a symbol [of my interpretation] of a thief, a fool, and a criminal to music and all things good. He killed James Dean, and took his coat. He is a thief of culture. He fooled the king, who is a symbol of Jesus because of the “thorny crown” and basically deprived this holy figure of one of his relics. This shows that faith is torn, a reoccuring theme in this song. The jester also is not caught, which is criminal in its own idea of injustice.) And while Lennon read a book on Marx The quartet practiced in the park And we sang dirges in the dark The day the music died (Communism, a very anti-American idea, goes right along with the “quartet in the park” such as a funeral, in which this funeral sings “dirges” which are very somber and mourning tunes sung at such funerals.) We were singin' Bye, bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye And singin' this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die Helter skelter in a summer swelter The birds flew off with a fallout shelter Eight miles high and falling fast It landed foul on the grass (Plane crash) The players tried for a forward pass With the jester on the sidelines in a cast Now the half-time air was sweet perfume While sergeants played a marching tune We all got up to dance Oh, but we never got the chance 'Cause the players tried to take the field The marching band refused to yield Do you recall what was revealed The day the music died? (The Jester cannot stop this new wave of music and deprive the hopes of the people, as he is wounded by their hopes. The marching band, an unstoppable, organised, and powerful force takes the form of this. The halftime, or “sweet perfume” is when the music is played, which is a wonderful breather if you will for the people, and this powerful force refuses to give up. Even so, the people are scarred from the plane crash and never got to dance because of this depression.) We started singin' Bye, bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye And singin' this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die Oh, and there we were all in one place A generation lost in space With no time left to start again (After the crash this new musical, youthful generation were like the lost generation of WWI. They were disconnected, and lost in a confusing depression of limbo.) So come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick Jack Flash sat on a candlestick 'Cause fire is the devil's only friend Oh and as I watched him on the stage My hands were clenched in fists of rage No angel born in Hell Could break that Satan's spell (Reference to Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones performing Jumpin’ Jack Flash, who became more nihilistic and encouraged the idea of nihilism here which goes directly against Mclean’s values. Jagger even wore a red cape which further gave off the image of Satan. He sang in his song of playing with fire to encourage his freedom, but it is his only friend here.) And as the flames climbed high into the night To light the sacrificial rite I saw Satan laughing with delight The day the music died (This was a very evil and horrible event which only Satan and other nihilists would appreciate.) He was singin' Bye, bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singin' this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die I met a girl who sang the blues And I asked her for some happy news But she just smiled and turned away (She pretends to be happy, but as she knows from her musical passions, she herself is torn and depressed from this. Singer is most likely Janis Joplin, a heroin of the time who overdosed.) I went down to the sacred store Where I'd heard the music years before But the man there said the music wouldn't play (The store is scared as it gives him the music and is a sacred and holy space for Mclean, but the music wouldn’t play, as it died that cold February night.) And in the streets the children screamed The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed But not a word was spoken The church bells all were broken (All are sad, and even the church bells which symbolize faith, and possibly music, are all broken and soundless.) And the three men I admire most The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost They caught the last train for the coast The day the music died (The three musicians, who caught the train for the coast despite the levee being dry, show that all previous lines of Mclean driving to the levee was him trying to reconnect with the three dead men and get them back.) And they were singing Bye, bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry And them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singin' this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die And they were singing Bye, bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry And them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singin' this'll be the day that I die |

| Ed Sheeran – Perfect Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| So he messed up after falling in love at an early age and now got a chance to fall in love with her again. "I know we'll be alright this time." Now they are sharing a great love, and are "fighting against the odds" somehow. I like this song because it proves that love is possible against the odds. You guys can accomplish anything, just put your mind to it. | |

| He also says that she should forget the ones that come at her, because they can't help it, like he. Forgot to add that. | |
| Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers – Noelle, Noelle Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| The meaning of this song is show how Noelle and he may try to stop themselves from loving, but will continue loving each other. The angels show that everyone knows that she will be loved, and that she will be forever loved. She pain she feels from perhaps isolation or pain from loving or the absence of loving will reflect on her parents. They will feel her pain. He will forever love her, through loving and pain, and will not stop loving her until he dies. | |
