| Bee Gees – Saved by the Bell Lyrics | 5 years ago |
| This guy's girlfriend took off with another man. It was a rough breakup and he took his own life in grief. "Saved by the bell on your own carousel..."- He let her off the hook, the guilt of her breakup with him and with her crazy, mixed up whirlwind life...the carousel. The "bell" was his suicide, the note he left, the voice mail..the whatever. Now he'll never have to know if she ultimately loves this other man just as well. He went to his death thinking she wouldn't love him as well, but now he'll never have to live with being wrong. I've based this opinion on several misconceptions I initially had with the lyrics, but I think it still works as such. I always thought the last lyric of the chorus was, "Now, I walk down "The Great Lane"...the great "highway" to the pearly gates of heaven. I died for you. I died for two..."two" being he and the woman or the woman with her new man, either relationship being possible here in meaning. "I lived for two" (I lived for you..the two of us together). "I'll give for you." (I'll give my life for you..for your total happiness with another man. I'll take myself out of the equation, because I can't live without your love. The song has some darkness,( sadness if you will,) as do most ballads. I've always like the ballads of song. | |
