@[jimicobain:32774] I’m not sure if you’re directing your comment at me as well. I had no intention of making my comment seem like it was strictly focused on drugs, but I can understand why you might think that. I agree with you that Elliott’s lyrics were very broad and impressionistic. This song is about many aspects of ones life, I just included what line of two I thought could be interpreted as drugs. The whole song is extravagantly poignant and obviously much deeper. |

@[Scribbler17:32773] I think you’re interpretation nailed it. You wrote out thoughts I was never able to put so concisely. Even the idea that the war is now over for him, while heavily borrowing some melody from John Lennon’s "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)". |

Hmm, no one seems to think about this song like I do. In the beginning he talks about how a bullet was just fired. He has killed himself, and now he is waiting for something to happen. Obviously, no one knows what happens when you die. Hes waiting for whatever it is happens when you die. And I think the city he built up and blew to hell, is his own body. Think about it, he aged and grew up into an adult taking care of himself, then he just destroyed it with drugs. Hes sending drugs down his veins when he says hes sending his request for relief down the dead power lines. |
