I haven't looked through all the comments so bear with me. I just wanted to point out that there were no deaths when the Dakota sank and I kind of feel like the line "this ain't the Dakota" could reference to the fact that there are "casualties" of a sort in the wake of this situation which to me takes the form of a broken relationship. I love how there's always a million ways to dissect brand new lyrics. Meanings can be entirely different depending what you're going though. Genius. |

This is my favorite song, it means so much to me. I think anyone who has known someone close to them to be involved in something like drugs can relate to this song. It speaks to me and reminds me of my mom and our relationship. The beginning is saying that you can be yourself and I'll love you no matter what. You got mixed up with the wrong stuff and you changed and your actions hurt me even though you didn't realize it. The chorus is saying I need you, I need your old self back because that's who you really are, not who you've become. My favorite part and the one that gives me chills and brings tears to my eyes is this: "And take whatever you have to take, you know i love ya come however you have to come, and get it out and get it out Tttttake it out on me, take it out on me i'll give it you all, i give it you all, i give it, i give you all, i give it you all, yes i will give it you all" Just those few lines say so much to me. It makes me think of right before the person, for me it was my mom, goes and checks into rehab. They want their last hit, their last high, before having to give it all up. So it's kind of saying go ahead, I love you and I won't think less of you for getting this one last thing out of your system before giving it up completely. Then as it gets to "take it out on me" it makes me think of the first few stages of withdrawal when the person gets angry and upset. They hate you for making them quit their habits but you know it had to be done so you just let them take out their frustrations on you, blame you for the pain they're going through. Then it says how you give everything you have to that person, you put all of yourself into their recovery to help them get better and get through their addiction. But, yeah, that's what this song means to me and how I view the lyrics and the meaning behind them. Maybe you got something out of that. =] |
