| Genesis – Heathaze Lyrics | 5 years ago |
| This song, as well as the entire album Duke, seem to reflect what Phil Collins was going through at the time with his failed relationship. Phil is always been a man who sings from his heart, and this album truly captures that. The song, to me, talks about a man who was in a haze due to his failed marriage or relationship. He seems to refer to seeing other people enjoying each other's company, and it really doesn't matter what what they're doing, as long as they're together with their love. Finally realizing he's in a smoky bar is a way of him snapping back into reality and realizing what his life is like. The reference to withered leaves seems to me that it refers to his thoughts of his failed relationship and how he can't seem to get past them. I've never quite understood what the duck bit is about, but perhaps it's a way of him fishing for happiness and not finding it. This album has been very therapeutic for me, as I am currently going through a failed 7-year relationship with my ex fiance who might have a child with. I can totally understand Phil's pain, and it's so great to hear him sing of it. At least this is my interpretation. | |
