| Bob Dylan – Dignity Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
Dignity is a human state or quality that comes from within. Nobody else can grant you dignity and nobody can take it away. So what does Bob Dylan mean by "searching high, searching low?" Surely, he knows that his own dignity comes from within himself. In my opinion, he's looking for signs of dignity in others and he ain't finding much. Much of the song seems to support that theory, although he leaves you with a question as to whether or not he's looking to find his own dignity: ====== So many roads, so much at stake So many dead ends, I'm at the edge of the lake Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take To find dignity ===== If it wasn't for this last stanza (if that's the right word) I'd say he's mostly looking for signs of dignity in others and they are few and far between. |
