The first 2 stanza are the voice of his deceased mother. The "call", if you will. The rest is his belated "response" to her call. It was a tumultuous relationship with his mother. Of course the song is written with the overtone of intimate relations but that wasn't the point in the lyric. If we look at the undertones and select choices of wording, context etc we may see that this song was written about a man's discovery of his love for his mother, postmortem. Neither did a very effective job of expressing their love for each other. But today he sees the light in their relationship and realizes he really does indeed, love his mother. It's very easy for people to take a sexually intimate perspective to song lyrics in general because it's a cheap and easy approach with our brains. And cultural/social programming in entertainment media has folks hook on things like sex, outside validation, outside approval etc. However, a significant about of lyrics are crafted with a spiritual, intellectual or, 'enlightened' perspective. If we open our hearts to that, we may begin to understand what song lyrics really mean frfr. |
