How Can I Love You? (If You Won't Lie Down)

It's kind of annoying that I can't edit spell errors here. So I am doing it in the reply:<br /> <br /> <br /> I had to sign in only to comment on this song, which I really like.<br /> <br /> "Fast cars, fine ass<br /> These things will pass<br /> And it won't get more profound"<br /> <br /> The song is pure wisdom. He means by this that everything is just as it is. Like the zen monk. They don't keep looking for the meaning of life or for deep explanations, they just live things through experiencing them directly, without falling in the labyrinths of the mind with its concepts of right and wrong, the worries about past and future.<br /> <br /> "Time is a game<br /> Only children play well<br /> How can I love you<br /> If you won't lie down"<br /> <br /> Only children play well the "game of time". This means, they live in the present. They are just as they are, without worries about what happened or what will happen. They concentrate fully and completely in that, what's going on in the present moment. Everything else doesn't exist. They are free. <br /> <br /> When it comes to love, so the singer wants to be sincere and direct as a child. He looks this women and his body says he wants her. As highface said above, bringing flowers and all the courtship thing, which is nothing else than the speculation of getting sex at the end, is all cut out and he wants to get directly to the point where the body wanted to go from the beginning: lie down and we can make love.<br /> Why bother with an adult game of calling, not calling, doing wrong or doing right, making oneself more interesting for the other? Let's just do it like the kids and show ourselves as we are, without theaters and all these complications. Let's show what we want and what we came for. <br /> <br /> But how can I do that, if others won't take away their masks? = How can I love you if you won't lie down?<br /> <br /> "My youth for a bell<br /> Who's who in hell<br /> My kingdom for a crown"<br /> <br /> I am not so sure about this line. With "my youth for a bell" he could be saying he is willing to give all his youth pleasures away to wake up and be in the moment. The bell, in many religions, stays for awakening, for being pulled out of the automatism in order to dive inside oneself's soul.<br /> <br /> Who's who in hell? I googled this one and found: "Who's Who in Hell is a compelling, uproarious, and achingly moving story about what happens when our plans for life meet its plans for us." This fits to the music, as I understand it: I want to be myself and open for the moment and for what life has reserved for me. I want to awake and live the present.<br /> <br /> My kingdom for a crown: The crown, in my perception, stands for loyalty to quality, for something of real value. In this case it stands for the inner essence and its richness. In the Kabbahlah, the crown stands for the first sefirah, which is the emanation of God's hidden essence, it is infinity, it is oneness and the eternal: that, which was never born and will never die. <br /> <br /> The kingdom stands for material possessions, and this he gives away. Just as fast cars and fine ass, the kingdom will pass. <br /> <br /> The crown, the inner light, that will never pass. And despite we are all running away from it, it is exactly that, what we are secretly looking for.
