To me the meaning seams pretty obvious. Its obviously a very sexually charged song. The name of the song is "I get off". Really the obvious (to me) interpretation would be the relationship between a voyeur and an exhibitionist. quoted from wikipedia. " voyeurism is the sexual interest in or practice of spying on people engaged in intimate behaviors, such as undressing, sexual activity, or other activity usually considered to be of a private nature." In the first line she states that "You don't know that I know, You watch me every night", so i would assume he is just that, a voyeur and that there is not real relationship between the two. the beginning of the song is about someone that watches her everynight, looking at her as she undresses (becomes undone) with "greedy eyes" suggesting that their motives are self surving in nature. But she states that she knows he is watching (" I could close the curtains") but then states that she can't resist the urge to continue undressing (undone) because its "fun" Really its a song about sexual power and control. Two people essentially using each other for their own motives. The voyeur "gets off" on thinking that he is in control of the situation, that she doesnt know he's watching. Really the twist of the song, is that she actually has all the power and she is using him, and she gets off on having this power over the voyeur. Thats why its a "give and take". The third verse states that she feels its more exciting that they can only "look and not touch", which is the exiting part of the "relationship". but she also states that she may be too "afraid" or shy to confront him and meet in reality. Whether she is too shy to do it, or whether the whole dd Theres too much in the song stating that its a one on one relationship for me to think its about her and a crowd of people, on stage. She states there is "so much left unspoken between the TWO of us". Unless it were about one particular guy in the crowd, but how would he watch her every night? |

| Metallica – Of Wolf And Man Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This song is absolutely a metaphor. Metallica doesn't write songs for horror films, yes it is about a warewolf, but yes it also goes much deeper. The song is about primal instincts "of WOLF AND MAN" both (the lyrics say that primal/visceral/raw instincts are "meaning of life" and "earths gift" (in both wolf and man).Read the lyrics, its pretty clear. Its saying that the Earths gift is the primal instincts that we have and that our human ability to think/reason isn't what is important, its just a facade, and what truely keeps us alive is our primal instincts, so in that sense, were the same as a wolf. He goes beyond that to say that being a wolf is better than being a man. When he begins to shape shift back into a wolf he says "I feel I change BACK TO A BETTER DAY" the next line says "Hair stands on the back of my neck". So the better day is when he's a wolf and his senses are CLEAN and visceral, not cloudy by unimportant human thought. When the shape shifting occurs, the senses become clean and and the movements become "swift" and deliberate, moving towards the primal and simple goal of catching the lamb. The SONG IS ABOUT WILDNESS (OF WOLF AND MAN both). The song is well summated in the line "IN WILDNESS IS THE PRESERVATION OF THE WORLD". Also if you listen to the Metallica S&M version of the song, James clearly says to the crowd "do we have any wolves out there" and he howls loudly. He's obviously not asking if there are any literal werewolfs in the crowd. |

| Dave Matthews Band – The Dreaming Tree Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
to me, it seems that the song is about two people that once were in love. Both had their idea's and dreams shattered through the process of life. Both are now lonely and old. The man in the song (as a young man) fell in love with the the woman in the song. He "conquered his fear to climb (love)" with this woman. She was his first and last love. He's still "frozen in time", his dreams of love were shattered and he never recovered. His dreaming tree was "love". It took him many years to let himself love "Now progress takes away What forever took to find [love]". He was one of the men (adorers) left in "her wake". In the middle of the song, the man is trying to justify his lost love of her. He tells himself that "I know in my mind, I would leave you now". The man never knew why the woman left him, he asks himself "will you not talk", he needs to know why she left him. The woman he loved (and in the 2nd portion of the song) was young and beautiful, she was confident and she had everything, so she thought ("she was sure she'd make the grade"). The irony is that everything she thought she had was based on her beauty, but her "[beauty} slowly faded". Shes now ready to die ("She feels the fall of dark"). She once had everything. Her beauty "wilted and soured". Now she's lonely and old, the world she knew was turned upside down. She now "drinks (alcohol) to fill [the fact that her life fell apart] up". Her dreaming tree was the the false assumption that everything she earned everything she had, when in reality all the attention she attained wasn't because of anything she did or earned, it was based on her fleeting beauty. In the end, The woman says to herself "take me back, save me please". I'd like to think that shes asking the man to take her back. Both are now old, both Had their lives fall apart, yet as old men/women, they are there reverting/reflecting back to their childhood, when their dreams were still intact. Both beg their parents to make things go back to how they were before, when ignorance was bliss. |
