Advice- when interpreting someone's work, try not to attach everything you are feeling into their words. To understand art one must suspend preconceived judgments and suspend their desire to relate. Art isn't about relating it's about creating. Don't get hooked on a phrase or two and attach meaning that is central to your feelings so you can attempt to relate to the work. Take it in as a whole and remove yourself from the equation. Only through detachment can one truly see, hear, feel art. Perhaps this why so many of you struggled to find the meaning of the song, or had interpretations that were just absolutely off.
