| Talk Talk – Does Caroline Know? Lyrics | 1 year ago |
|
I believe it is about alcoholism. He is the alcoholic and has fallen off the wagon. Caroline is either his wife or his sponsor. Assuming he is with AA then drinking is definitely "out of line" and having another drink would be "breaking every pledge I've made" as being part of a sobriety program involves several pledges. His justification is that the alcohol is a thief that steals his rational thinking. And "does it matter if I can't say Caroline knows?" is more self justification. I believe Mark has written this from an alcoholics viewpoint, but it could just as well be a drug addict. He lost his brother to drug addiction. |
