| Sting – Fields of Gold Lyrics

I wish the idiots calling this a 'break up song' would just grow up. This song is about death. Plain and simple. It's put in an emotion rarely present in the human psyche and that is why I am so offended by the 'oh, its a break up song' clan. Learn to feel the primitive response to death after it happens. It's peaceful, depressing, beautiful, jarring, sad, final and in no order implied: inevitable. If you continue to associate such wonderful music with silly rituals, you will never heal from the loss of someone, will never be prepared and will never understand what i'm talking about. A loved ones passing, whether human or animal, hurts beautifully. |

| Bruce Springsteen – Paradise Lyrics

According to an old friend of mine, this song is about coming across the body of a young lady that has overdosed (died) from drugs. She said this was Springsteen's meaning of the song. The plastic, wire on your lips refers to the young ladies braces. The eternity on your lips indicates death. The dreams indicate he was disturbed by the encounter but at peace knowing her soul was free. I suppose this makes sense and it's what I think of when I hear this song. I don't think of suicide bombers. That is just weird. |
