This is such a beautiful song with the most amazing lyrics.. I would love to hear some thoughts on this part: Grace bestowed But I was shaped with snow Seasons don't change Ignorance remains I don't know why, but to me, it always felt like the first part talks about something/someone obviously beautiful but the author is somehow immune (cold) to that.. At the same time he realizes his own grace is not visible for the other person/people (thus the "ignorance remains" part)? Of course I could be completely wrong, I've been in love with this song for such a long time and still keeps me wondering about the meaning behind it.. |

To me this song is about being lost in a extramarital relationship, where the author is deeply in love with the other person but at the same time he knows, that it can't be. Firstly because he doesn't want to leave his wife and secondly because he's fully aware that the magic and passion would disolve with time if he continues the relationship: "How much more can we use it up? Drink it dry? Take this drug? Looking for something forever gone But something we will always want...". At the same time it hurts him deeply to have to leave this other person, because his heart is telling him to stay with her.. But it is impossible for him to let the person go when he's with her because the magic between them is just too real and the bond too strong. The ending is pretty heartbreaking too: "A different name Same old game Love in vain.." For me, he's talking about love in general and what his experience is, perhaps he realized that this "alchemy" he's feeling with his mistress will eventually fade away (as it probably did with Mary throughout their years together) and he knows that the only pure love is the one that remains unfulfilled (and I don't mean that sexually, just that he doesn't get to stay with that person). I also like the other interpretations, it could be about hooking up with groupies, drugs, or even his career .. or just about whole different subject, that's the beauty of Robert's lyrics. I've been a Cure fan since my early teens and I just recently rediscovered this song and the lyrics just hit me deeply 'cos I've been through something similar those past few years so probably it influences my interpretation a bit.. :-) |
