@[ME68:45415] ~ again this song has come into my life and it's subtle mystical power draws me into it like a black hole consumes all. And so I thought I feed the demand it's gravity commands by trying to learn more about it, which brings me here and now...... *** FIRST I'd like to say great job on the various iterations of interpretation. The explanation of the songs meaning posted here is interesting, well said, and has a lot of merit which very well captures the overall mood and is a likely explanation of lyric meaning. ALTHOUGH, I have to share an interpretation that came to me one dark evening that was an "Ah - Ha" moment, where I thought I nailed the song meaning and yet couldn't believe I never saw it so plainly before. SO NOW I WANT Share this to see what y'all think what I thought the lyrics could mean....... In short, I thought the song was about the final thoughts one might have after having deciding to commit me suicide, but sort of glamorizing a fantasy this person has of it's hoped for, and intended reason and impact this suicide will have on the world left behind....! This notion of the lyrics mean dawned on me one day while listening to it. I was shocked that I never recognized it before, nor ever heard any other suggestion about what was now obvious and simple about a song that had captured me long ago yet took 20 years to feel like I actually know what the song is truly about. Which is dark for how popular it is , yet still no certainty of it's true origin or meaning. The part in the song that brought about this epiphany was the second, 2nd verse. I don't care if it hurts - * if dying hurts - already in pain I wanna have control - I get to choose how death comes to me - how it happens I want a perfect body - concerning the choice method of suicide in order to look good in the coffin during the important funeral processionals. *Suicide provides the opportunity to have control over maintaining a perfect body (fit for show) as in choosing to hang yourself, take excess pills, or hose from car exhaust ~VERSES~ a shotgun blast to the face, or a car wreck, cutting your veins and bleeding out.....for example. Further, if you want a perfect body, then you must take into account that dying by hanging might hurt tremendously and doesn't offer the seemingly more instantaneous no pain method a self inflicted gun shot to the head might bring..... "don't care if it hurts" - not as important as the impact felt by funeral attendance with an open casket. "I want a perfect soul" - any raised with religion says you go the hell for committing suicide, yet public out cry of pitty and grief for the poor victim's who's shamed weak soul that should get a pass from hell bc of no other choice I want you to notice When I'm not around - again the fantasy that there will be a huge void in life of the person he desires attention of. You're so fuckin' special" - viewed as an untouchable goddess as part of a deep obsession for an unattainable fantasy projection. I wish I was special. -. If I was special, then I wouldn't be this weirdo creep about to take extreme measures to hopefully get noticed. ANYWAY, that's what hit me one day listening to and thinking about this song I've heard and loved for so long, yet really don't know the true meaning behind the lyrics. Haha - here I am searching for and reading the popular explanations trying to get an answer, and found no other suggest my same relaxation. Ouch! Yet, love what I am reading. Just curious now how you all feel about my perceived alternative suggestion. Thanks for the ideas and consideration! Cheers |
