| Bob Dylan – Meet Me in the Morning Lyrics | 19 years ago |

yeh, its just one those post relationship blues things.. i mean, he's realised (similar to you're a big girl now) that he's made mistakes, but he also thinks he's done a lot right... and he really wants her back. he's got withdrawals... i get the feeling this was written in that period just after the break-up. he may realise later that it was for the best.. but right now he's suffering from bad withdrawals.. .all he wants is to be able to hold her again. |

no probs no1knows, we've all got our opinions on it, and thats cool! i think that maybe if the line was 'let me forget about today, there's no tomorrow' it might hold up... but as it stands he sings 'let me forget about today until tomorrow' this is the point where its clear that whatever is taking place (death, intoxication) it has consequences that the character will suffer... they are just putting off dealing with those consequences.. i feel that if it was about death, dylan would talk about it more like an escape (which the lyrics convey in the rest of the tune)... but it is hear that he admits that there are repercussions for whatever is happening. |

i fear that those who adamantly claim that there is NO WAY this could be about drugs are also those who are adamantly against the consumption of such contraband. the fact is, a lot of the best stuff from the mid 60s was heavily influenced by drugs. sorry. |

really sweet, joyous song. dylan went threw a stage where he really laid it all out and didnt make any attempt to cloak the meaning of his songs... and his proud, honest approach makes this period a genuine and fulfilling listen. |

| Bob Dylan – Drifter's Escape Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
the jury is the 'mob mentality' that seems to negate the possiblity of emotion on a personal level. the drifter is a free spirit, and though he has done wrong, he's a good man. the judge can empathise, and therefore is troubled even though he knows he himself has done the right thing. the jury (mob) are comprimising the beauty of what is an upsetting but beautiful moment. all references to mobs (the jury, crowd outside) are negative, while all the personal references are emotive and sensitive. i guess i think its about the power of the individual, and the fact that crowds can create pressure and subvert that power... but when everyone else is following the crowd (bending down to prey) the individual can rise above it and come out the victor! |

has anyone else noticed the connection to rainy day women (nos 12 & 35)? the whole 420 theory about marijuana? 12 x 35 = 420. and this song has the line: With four and twenty windows And a woman's face in ev'ry one. rainy day women? a woman's face in every one? 420? four and twenty windows? is this song about frankie lee's addiction? are they both about weed? (if you have absolutely no idea what im talking about, check the rainy day women comments) |

| Bob Dylan – Pledging My Time Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
it think this one is about drugs as a form of escapism. 1st verse is a hangover. 2nd verse is a dealer. 3rd verse is the character introducing someone to whatever drug. 4th verse is the of them at the end of a night of heavy smoking. the last verse is heroin overdose. the whole time the character is 'pledging his time' to escapism through drugs. |

| Bob Dylan – Ballad in Plain D Lyrics | 19 years ago |

The reasons dylan can be comfortable about this song are these two verses: Beneath a bare light bulb the plaster did pound Her sister and I in a screaming battleground. And she in between, the victim of sound, Soon shattered as a child 'neath her shadows. All is gone, all is gone, admit it, take flight. I gagged twice, doubled, tears blinding my sight. My mind it was mangled, I ran into the night Leaving all of love's ashes behind me. It is hear that, in the context of the song itself, he reveals his regret. You can see how he didn't want to fight with Carla, especailly at the risk of losing Suze. This song is one of his most brutally honest, but that candid, spur of the moment aspect adds so much more weight. |
