The lyrics aren't accurate. "My heavy steps get a little bit louder"???? Maybe look at the lyric sheet and see that "lighter" ryhmes with "brighter in the line before. Whoever transcribed these lyrics was perhaps smoking something.

The song is metaphorical, not literal. A song is a poem that's sung. Seeing things brighter does not mean she actually sees things brighter. It is a poetic comparison. Mary Janes are traditioanlly worn by children, not adults. They were made for adults in sexier styles to combine sexiness with a childlike presence of mind.

Wearing the simple buckle shoes takes her back to a simpler, non-show biz time. Illustrated by the lyrics: "Just like a child...." "...just like I'm seven."

If we were to belive the literal/marijuana interpretation then taking the song as a whole we'd have to belive that she feels just like all the multitude of 7 year olds getting high on pot. Which of course happens SO OFTEN.... (snicker)......

It's shoes. It's how a simple piece of clothing changes her whole attitude. The Mary Jane brand has been around for 90 years. Tradition. Childhood. Shoes.

Or, it could be about how she feels in the arms of her bisexual lover who is named Mary Jane. I wonder why no one has brought that up? Makes about as much sense as pot.

Yeah, I think your right about that one, despite the weed.
