| Wilco – Radio Cure Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I think that the song is about a man who has terminal cancer- "there is something wrong with me"- who is saying goodbye to his lover. "Radio Cures" could refer to radiation therapy he is undergoing. However, it is not working. These "electronic surgical words" have no direct impact on his health. Later on he begins to succumb to death's pull- "My mind is filled with silvery stars"- and he begins to see heaven- "Honey, kisses, clouds of fog". He goes on to suggest that despite his metaphorical distance from our normal perception of earth (he is going up to heaven) he still cannot comprehend the sheer beauty of love; "Oh, distance has no way of making love understandable". Finally, he says goodbye by wishing "Cheer up honey, I hope you can...", in the hope that his lover will move on and enjoy the rest of her life knowing that he loved her and still does. That is one interpretation anyway... |
