this song is about a bad breakup and him wanting her back no matter what, even tough he knows that she will be a "star" in someone elses sky. Hey . . . ooh . . . Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay Were laid spread out before me as her body once did All five horizons revolved around her soul As the earth to the sun Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn Ooh, and all I taught her was everything Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds Of what was everything? Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything - He is saying that his life revolved all around her "All five horizons revolved around her soul" and then something happened and she left him, altough she tryed to stay with him anyway at first "I know she gave me all that she wore" I take a walk outside, I'm surrounded by some kids at play I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning - Even with all the joy and happiness in the world all around him, nothing but sadness and "twisted toughts" goes through his mind. How quick the sun can drop away And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass Of what was everything All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything All the love gone bad turned my world to black Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be . . . yeah - The "sun" of his life, the girl, the happiness, etc, just dissapeared, and now in his hands, he cradles the broken glass of what was everything (the relationship he had with her, broke like a water globe) and now all of the pictures (memories) have been washed in black (given sad meanings, whenever he remembers those moments he feels intense sadness), "all the love gone bad turned my world to black" means something close to what i just wrote, now everything in the world to him is sad, nothing can cheer him up and that tattoed him, like a big scar that he will never forget, it is something that will change him forever. Uh huh . . . uh huh . . . ooh . . . I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star In somebody else's sky, but why Why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine? this one is just obvious, he knows that she will still be happy without him, and will make someone's life brighter, and he asks why it can't be his. i know the interpretation kinda killed the feeling of the song, but i just wanted to make it clear to everyone what it is saying. it might not be what i wrote, but i think it makes more sense than those abortion theories :p btw, one of my fav. songs of all time, cried so many tears to this masterpiece :') |

ok, so this is what i got from the song: It's awfully considerate of you to think of me here And I'm much obliged to you for making it clear That I'm not here. This is a joke that Syd wrote to the rest of the band, if you read the past comments you will understand why. And I never knew the moon could be so big And I never knew the moom could be so blue And I'm grateful that you threw away my old shoes And brought me here instead dressed in red And I'm wondering who could be writing this song. The first two lines are talking about his supposed insanity, while the following line is saying that people were forcing him to change, and this is said in a ironic way (beeing the shoes his habits) the next line i have no clue what it might mean, but its possible that its what someone said on a older post about that talked about sacrifice. "And I'm wondering who could be writing this song." well, this is just pure sarcasm, what he means by this is, if I'm not here, then who is writing this song? (he is saying that he is lucid) I don't care if the sun don't shine And I don't care if nothing is mine And I don't care if I'm nervous with you I'll do my loving in the winter. This paragraph is just showing his disinterest to everything that might happen from that time on. And the sea isn't green And I love the queen And what exactly is a dream And what exactly is a joke. And these last two lines, i just can't put to words what i got from here, its just has way too mutch meaning :P |
