Bob Dylan – It Ain't Me Babe Lyrics

14 years ago

I think in this song Bob's saying how he's searching for an eternal comfortable committed love and not just a relationship for his time on earth. I feel like the girl he's singing about is someone who wants all the things that come along with love except for the freedom of love, she might want to settle down and stop hoping for anything down the track. Perhaps their relationship is built on indifference and he just has to say: "it ain't me, babe". Anyway, that's what i get outta these lyrics, peace.

Bob Dylan – Guess I'm Doin' Fine Lyrics	14 years ago
Great song. I can't believe nobody else has commented on it. To me this song speaks of becoming humble and accepting the good times and the bad times that have came and that will surely some again and being proud enough to say: "I guess I'm doin' fine", peace.

Cat Stevens – Can't Keep It In Lyrics	14 years ago
Wow! I just read a little more into these lyrics. I've changed my mind, my conclusion is it's about Cat Steven's frustration over lusting to have sex with the light on and he has a frigid girlfriend. Anyway that's it, peace.

Cat Stevens – Banapple Gas Lyrics

14 years ago

These lyrics have been running through my mind some and after ages of not getting this, it suddenly sprung to me while I was singing it. Forgive me if you disagree, but from "Banapple Gas" I get a picture of a guy(Cat Stevens) in the 70's who's been introduced to butt sex (Banana(penis)/Apple(apple bottom)) and now he's amusing himself in song about the morality of the act and with the words: sterilized(after bowl motion), certified(it's with a girl), gas(clearly a fart occurring during anal). . . Look I'm sorry if I'm wrong, but c'mon how can't anyone see this imagery? Maybe, I have wandered to some of the same places Cat Steven's wandered to, peace and forgive me for this interpretation, though I feel it's valid.

Cat Stevens – Into White Lyrics

14 years ago

To me "Into White" reads as though Cat Steven's is writing a song about how he writes song. Imagination springs into one's thoughts and then one puts those thoughts to paper and the most common colour of paper is indeed white. Therefore: "everything emptying into white". Well, to me it reads like a pent up songwriter releasing his weird ideas in the form of a song about his songwriting process. Anyway that's what I read from this song, peace.

Cat Stevens – Can't Keep It In Lyrics	14 years ago
For me at least this song seems to be more about love of one self-expression rather than love for another, but I could be wrong, peace.

Bob Dylan – Driftin' Too Far from Shore Lyrics	14 years ago
I'm gonna go simple here and say I think it's about a guy who's scared of this girl (probably his ex). From what I read into these lyrics he seems to be tolerant of her position, but not of their relationship's, peace.

Bob Dylan – Dead Man, Dead Man Lyrics

14 years ago

For me at least I feel that Bob Dylan is trying to reason with someone abusing the meaning of deism or atheism and who is spiteful and has made it up that Bob's God and savior is to blame for all the tragedies in man and womankind's history. I feel from Bob's position as though he's trying to point out his humbleness and lack of divine knowledge and he's trying to get this so-called deist or atheist to accept him as not having all the answers and that belief was never grounded in reality as knowledge. Anyway that's my interpretation of these lyrics. PS: Just so no one confuses what I've typed. There are some really noble Deists and Atheists, just as there are some really noble theists, pantheists, mystics, straight-agnostics and others that I can't remember, peace.

Cat Stevens – Tuesday's Dead Lyrics

14 years ago

I think "Tuesday's dead" is about how so many people think that grace is gone from this world, but yet this song of humbleness from Cat Stevens(Yusuf Islam) who by his own public persona has always been a very spiritual person. My guess is that Cat Stevens wrote this song after reading the lyrics of the traditional song "Monday's Child" where it reads: Monday's child is fair of face, Tuesday's child is full of grace, Wednesday's child is full of woe, Thursday's child has far to go, Friday's child is loving and giving, Saturday's child works hard for a living, But the child who is born on the Sabbath Day Is bonny and blithe and good and gay.

Bob Dylan – Desolation Row Lyrics	14 years ago
To me Desolation Row is like a state of mind that Bob Dylan and others have acquired being told to pick side, to debate. Yeah, I think it's about not really seeing the point in debate. That's what the lyrics say to me anyway, peace.

Bob Dylan – All Along the Watchtower Lyrics

14 years ago

I think this song is about two prisoners in a prison. The princes refers to the guards and the two riders are obviously two other criminals attempting to break the Joker and the thief out. The Joker is a small-time rookie amateur who is afraid and doesn't want to be in prison and he's befriended the thief who's wiser than all the other prisoners in the prison, the thief's probably been in prison most of his life. Now, I kinda reckon this song could've partly inspired Stephen King to write "Rita Hayworth & the Shawshank redemption" , I mean SK did write another of his books that was partly inspired by Dylan's song "From a buick 6". . . Anyway that's my best guess for this Dylan-igma, peace.
