| Pink Floyd – San Tropez Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
I think you might be reading more into this than is really there. Not intended as a slam, just an opinion. Many of PF's songs, particularly the first few, up to Wish You Were Were, had an awful lot to do with Syd Barret (Wish You Were Here is pretty much an entire homage to him) and his emotional and mental illness. I think San Tropez is an emotional cripples love song. Loving someone, but not being able to be with them. The disconnect between the unconditional love of a parent, and the adult love of man for the woman of his desire, but being unable to handle the adult responsibility of that relationship. I think the repetition of "If you're alone, I'll come home" is a statement very much like one a mother would make to a child. With the song, fairly clearly, being about an object of affection, within the context of the song, that lyric lends itself to be the battle cry of a man wanting the same kind of unconditional love from his partner, that he got from his mother, and the result of trying to reconcile those two. Or Roger Waters could just really, really LOVE peaches! |
