| Bob Dylan – Man in the Long Black Coat Lyrics | 7 months ago |
|
The man in the long black coat could be anyone or anything.The protagonists are the woman and the man/life/reality she leaves behind. Its her house/town that's being described It's her that approaches him to dance It's her conscience that has being tested. I think it talks about the "rebellion of consciousness" as most of his work does. It is about a person, that rebels against his own "reality". A reality that contradicts with its real needs and therefore, consciousness. The man in the long black coat is an opportunity for something new.Her sudden and unexpected love for him ,symbolizes the leap she has to make against logic and normality and the distance she has to draw from her previous unsatisfactorily life. there is no point in keep hitting our dead horses, is there now? |
