| Bob Dylan – One of Us Must Know (Sooner or Later) Lyrics | 3 years ago |
| @[cavern:40128] Gosh I\'m 16 years late to the discussion but here is how interpret this line very generically:\r\n\r\nThere\'s very little doubt about this: The girl initially gave off one impression about her and later the writer (Dylan) finds out that really wasn\'t true.\r\n\r\nIn all likelihood, the girl either misrepresented something about herself from the beginning of their relationship (\'from the farm\' *probably* means humble background / humble dreams and ambition and simple-minded, which is clearly not true now) OR Dylan is implying that that she seems to have changed her position on certain things. \r\n\r\nThe first meaning implies that Dylan misread the girl\'s true identity from the start.\r\n\r\nI interpret the second meaning this way: the girl who initially committed to something and appeared to be confident of what she wants (since Dylan implies that he put all his trust in her and agreed to follow her into wherever she wanted to lead him. Dylan is expressing his own vulnerability in the past), now appears to have taken a U-turn on her position : identity / needs / wants, etc. and is trying to downplay everything she said in the past as "just kidding"\r\n\r\n | |
