| Bryan Adams – Not Romeo Not Juliet Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
When I read these lyrics, I imagine a boy and girl who are friends. They don't share any romantic feelings toward each other (hence, "this ain't love" and "not romeo not juliet"), but perhaps they know each other really well and have helped each other through a lot. They might also be young, so they're naturally confused and trying to figure out how to live their lives together. One of the struggles they share together is their individual frustrations in finding a compatible romantic partner, for which the lyrics describe the reasons to (ie. the "second generation immigrant scars" for the boy and how the boy is the only person the girl respects - indicating that the girl is having trouble finding a lover who she truly finds worthy of her romantic attention). I really appreciate the other commenter's interpretation as well. Really interesting stuff. Bryan Adams is one of my favorite singers and this is a real gem of a song. |
