| Winterpills – July Lyrics

I think it's about two friends, possibly a couple, who always supported each other when they were younger but then went their separate ways. The speaker is now realizing s/he still has feelings for the other person but wonders if it's simply leftover affection and memories from simpler times, when these feelings came much easier. The second verse explains how even if they met up again they could never, as adults, continue from the "children's promises" they kept when they were young. |

| Manfred Mann – Blinded by the Light Lyrics
| 17 years ago

Bruce Springsteen originally wrote this song, and he apparently said it doesn't really mean anything. The story is, the record company wouldn't release his debut album unless he wrote a song that was likely to make it on the radio, so out of frustration he wrote this random and brilliant song.
But if it does indeed have a meaning, I'd say it's just about adolescence and the stupid things teenagers do. They are "blinded" by the "light" of youth, their judgement clouded by the desire for a thrill (drugs, sex, etc). |
