@[annetteabma:46619] i just read the collector after seeing your comment months ago when i related to this song on a normal level (you know, not as a kidnapper). i picked up on the political aspects of the collector, but not the fact that it's a metaphor for relationships until coming back and rereading the lyrics. thanks for sharing |

i think it's interesting how there's such a theme of climbing and mountains in meat puppets songs (comin down, plateau, climbing, etc). that's why i agree with tjmarshal's comment because everyone knows that plateau is about fame and media. maybe mountains were just a metaphor for their career |

| Ween – Don't Get 2 Close (2 My Fantasy) Lyrics
| 3 years ago
|
i'm a little late to the party here, but i'm surprised no one mentioned this potential meaning: suicidal ideation.
the dad's dead and clutching the hand of your creator is death, whether the creator is the dad or God. staring into the lion's eyes is being brave and just getting it (suicide) over with. the gentle kiss of night refers to death. the childlike aspect of the song is because of how vulnerable someone wrestling with suicidal thoughts can feel.
don't get 2 close reminds me a bit of wake me up when september ends. the songs about a dead father and said "the innocent can never last" but no one thought that was about incest/molestation |
