Isn't Life Strange Lyrics

Lyric discussion by keddleman 

Cover art for Isn't Life Strange lyrics by Moody Blues, The

A person's life experience dictates what they read into a song. I don't like it when artists explain their lyrics because they so often mean something completely different to the listener, and it kind of takes away from that.

For example, I interpret the meaning of this song very differently from the previous responders. My husband has passed away. "A turn of the page can read like before" to me means we can go back and re-live our love, though he is in Heaven and I am here. "Wished I could be in your heart to be one with your love" to me simply means I want to be able to continue to share his love. Even though he is physically gone, I want to be one with him. "Wished I could be in your eyes, looking back there you were"...Wow. Pretty clear to me. I wish he could see me. I wish I could look back and see him. Makes me want to cry, cry, cry.

@keddleman Songs about loss can also be read as missing a person who has died. Stephen Foster songs come to mind ('sleep' as a euphemism for death).

@keddleman My husband also passed away. I know some time has passed for you now in writing this. But I have to say your words echo my own hearts understanding of this song. This 10 sing compilation came into my feed out of nowhere on a night I had claimed as our Date Night a short time after he had passed. I was in joyful tears for all the songs Jed sent me. I knew he was speaking to me. And still to this day...exactly 6 months now...we continue to be "always together!". On this Harvest Moon in Pisces...
