| Simon and Garfunkel – Mrs. Robinson Lyrics
| 23 years ago
|
|
This song is about the state of the nation in the late 60's. Ms. Robinson is an archetype of the generation that could no longer uphold the "perfectness" of the '50s no matter how good their intentions. (hence why Jesus loves you, there were lots of wrongs committed with the best of intentions) The entire older generation of the 60's was in a sort of institution, desperately trying to maintain an unmaintainable false image. Hide it from the kids, they'll rip off the covers and expose everything. Government is not helping, anyway you lose. Also, an excellent note from the movie: Notice how after they "succeeded" in toppling the establishment's expectations they sat in the back of the bus looking like they had no clue about what to do next? That was 60's youth, and that conflict with one side wrong and the other side confused and directionless is what this song is about. |

Paul Simon is too much of a sophisticated artist to write a song simply about a hooker or some slut. Read the lyrics again keeping in mind that St. Cecilia is the patron saint of music. Takes on a whole new meaning, doesn't it? Much more fitting of Paul's spectacular artistry. |

Kids just don't get this one, which is why parents love it. Kids, you only know your parents as parents. They'd shock the heck out of you if you knew them as kids. The song says that in spite of what you think, there is a lot you DON'T know. All us parents have been there, done that. It's not that we don't get it, there is a reason why we are the way we are! Figure it out if you can! |
