This song is about the duality of man.

Lesbian song - 'I hear you talk GIRL', 'poked a little empty pie'. In short, it sounds to me like the singer had a lesbian love affair ('poked a little empty pie'), but her religious background ('sobriety') is too strong ('All God's children took their toll' - too many people said her feelings were sinful) and rejects her lesbian feelings ('your love has drawn red from my hands' like this love is akin to murder - having blood on your hands). So this love can only be a moment of weakness ('twist in my sobriety'). The singer's eyes are just...

The singer's eyes are just 'holograms' - meaning she is not allowed to be her true self, she is just an empty vessel, devoid of emotion, 'hollow', because who and what she is, is being dictated by religion - sobriety.

This are my two cents....

Song about a person telling the person they love that it is obvious that they got to point of no return. Apparently this person cannot get a hold of his "loved one" he knows that there's a set he needs to take... and it's saying good bye... He will burn away and set up in flames... The final moment of a burst of love that will turn into ash and dissipate and be forgotten. This person goes as far as saying I sent you the money, maybe implying or create some type of bribe, if...

Apparently this person cannot get a hold of his "loved one" he knows that there's a set he needs to take... and it's saying good bye... He will burn away and set up in flames... The final moment of a burst of love that will turn into ash and dissipate and be forgotten. This person goes as far as saying I sent you the money, maybe implying or create some type of bribe, if you don't love me for who I am, can I buy your love? It's a very sad song and you can tell by the notes they go from high to low notes giving us the feeling of grief and loss. As an added note, do not give your love or time to that person that doesn't want it... They don't deserve you...

This song is about sexual abuse. About her own experience as a child from around 7 till around 12 years old. This song really makes me angry and sad at the same time. Dolores you are forever missed!

This song is about sexual abuse. Actually about her own experience. It´s about "him" and what he did to her, she was seeing him in her dreams...and she is forever holding "him" Responsible!

Woke up this morning

Woke up this morning
From a long night in the storm
From a long night in the storm
Looked up this morning
Looked up this morning
Saw the roses full of thorns
Saw the roses full of thorns
Mountains are falling
Mountains are falling
They don't have nowhere to go
They don't have nowhere to go
The ocean's a diamond
The ocean's a diamond
That only shines when you're alone
That only shines when you're alone
Can we start it all over again?
Can we start it all over again?
This morning
This morning
I lost...
I lost all my defenses
This morning
Won't you show me the way it used to be
We've gone all around
Till there's nothing left to say
We wore it all down
Into something that couldn't be saved
We tore it all down
And buried me underneath the weight
Can we start it all over again?
This morning
I let down my defenses
This morning
It was just you and me
This morning
I've run all out of guesses
This morning
Won't you show me the way it could have been

One of my first entries into Jimmy Buffett music as a kid (I was probably in 6th or 7th grade when I first listened to a Jimmy Buffett CD). I think I relate to Jimmy Buffett for many reasons but a big one is being raised in a strict catholic household being forced into Alter Servitude by my Irish Catholic mother. Anyways; I sure know that what I grew up to become after hearing this at a prescient young age is what my parents warned me not to be. a good lesson in psychology in a fun Buffett song methinks.

accidentally added this to questions whatever... I always thought that this song was about a deep longing for someone sexually while knowing that this isn't the first and also isn't the last time they will feel this intense about someone.

I was waiting all my life to know you - It sure felt that way when I was coming up with this interpretation for the very first time; It's like, I had wanted a boyfriend for as long as I could remember.

All about you - The more time I spent with him, the more I wanted to get to know him.

And now, I'm staring in your eyes in sheer fear - A part of me was afraid to communicate with him that I was catching romantic feelings. I guess the reason why I was as scared as I was could have been due to him potentially feelings the same way as I was feeling about him (which it turns out, he did!). Also, opening up means being vulnerable and facing the music when it's dire.
I'm all about you - Tell me more about you!
And in our minds it comes so easily - It seemed so simple whenever we were interacting together as friends, but who could forget...
But there's a feeling coming over me - All of the nausea, anxiety and fear that weighs you down, making it hard to focus your attention on that special someone in your life?!
I wanna show you but there's nowhere we can really be free - I found it hard to connect with him because of how far away he lived from me.
Everybody's watchin' - Let's not forget you never know when your family is listening in on your private conversations with your friends!
Wouldn't it be good if we could be together? - It was; it really was. We had our own fairy tale romance.
Take me away - Sweep me off my feet (he did!)
Take me far away from here - As long as we were spending time together, we were doing perfectly fine.
I will run with you - Almost like in Romeo and Juliet!
Don't be afraid - I realize now that it was okay to have all of the fears in the back of my mind because it meant I cared a lot about him and wanted things to work out, which they did for a while.
Navigate and I will steer - I was really hoping he would make the first move by courting me and I guess he kind of did, but I was the first person to open up about my feelings for him.
Into the sun, we will run - We had our own forbidden romance!
I try to remember when I was just a child - I'll admit, I do think back to my childhood every now and again, back when everything was simple.
In my room - I spend the majority of my time alone in my room.
My imagination used to run wild - Oh my goodness! I used to come up with hundreds of different scenarios back when I was a child, usually related to love.
But I never knew - There's a lot of things that you don't know when you're a kid, so you end up coming up with a story in the back of your mind to have a better understanding about the things you know nothing about at that age.
That nothing's ever as it seems to be - Everyone has a different perspective on things, so you never know what is going on in the back if their minds unless you ask them. A lot of people act like they are okay when deep down inside, they aren't. They just act like they're okay to keep the peace but deep down inside they're screaming to be set free.
When a dream collides with a reality - It's like in Gilmore Girls when Luke and Lorelai FINALLY get together, but then...
It should be easy when two people love each other to me - The media makes love and relationships look so easy when really, they aren't easy at all.
Everybody's talking - Shifting gears back to Gilmore Girls for a second, everyone has an opinion on everything and they often put their cents in, even though you never asked them for their opinion.
Wouldn't it be good if they would understand us? - I can imagine this must have been what Like and Lorelai were thinking after the whole town found out they were together.
