| Gordon Lightfoot – Too Many Clues In This Room Lyrics
| 7 years ago
|
|
I think this song could be about modernity and how most people have gone beyond believing in God into, other things and beliefs and such. And it contrasts the old and new ways. And the clues in the room could be the clues that point towards the empty space God used to hold. |

| Paul Simon – Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard Lyrics

I've always thought that the song was about two schoolboys sexually experimenting with each other. It seems almost obvious to me that's what it's about. But I'm sure everyone else sees their own interpretation as being obvious as well... |

| Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young – Just A Song Before I Go Lyrics

While on the surface the lyrics are simple enough as to need no explanation, on another level, I've always thought that maybe "Travelling twice the speed of sound, it's easy to get burned" might be Graham alluding to cocaine. It *was* 1977...by then everyone around Crosby saw that his coke use was spiraling out of control. I'd assume that Graham had his own experiences with it too. Then "and when we opened up the door, I had to be alone" part could be wanting to be alone when actually "doing" the drug, maybe to hide it. Also, the "when the shows were over" and "driving me to the airport" lyrics seem to imply a kind of "rock star" or "jet set" lifestyle which goes hand in hand with cocaine (especially in the '70s). |
