i can only give write about what this song meant to be -- not what it is definitely about.
last spring, when this album was in heavy rotation in my CD player, i was romantically involved with a girl at school who was originally from another country. she was the personification of "flighty" -- moving from emotion to emotion, and then back again, at the drop of a hat.
one night, she'd spend all hours outside with me, the next, she'd ignore my calls. she was, in every sense, a gypsy -- one inclined to a nomadic, way of life.
i finally got to a point where this song made all kinds of sense to me; i felt as if i would have been better had i stayed an ignorant, care-free child ("is there a place that we can go to teach the children not to grow?") and that it would be much better to just forget the whole experience.
i felt like an integral part of the essence of 'me' had been taken; that, when friends came to my door, it was all a show -- no one really lived here anymore.
this was all almost a year ago. i've washed my hands of it and i'm over it, but i was just listening to this album again tonight, and it's truly amazing the places music can take you. the conventions of time and space need not apply when music is involved,
