| Nirvana – The Man Who Sold the World (David Bowie cover) Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I think that it goes like this: Bowie ( since he wrote the lyrics ) meets an old friend ( alcoholic, addict, somebody that stayed in the hood ). Although he ( Bowie ) was not there for a long time, this man calls him a friend, which suprises Bowie a lot, since he has been away for long time. Bowie tells this man to his eyes that he thought that this man has died a long time ago, knowing abut his sin. This man responses that he always had control ( over his addiction I suppose ), but he feels like failure after all ( he sold his career, his world, his everything ) Now, Bowie shakes his hand, smiles politely, and goes away. After that, Bowie is travelling a lot, looking at millions of people, and then he realizes that we are the ones that have sold the world, we have died alone, and sold everything ( our worlds ) when we sold our dreams and became grown ups. ... Here in Serbia, we have a saying that goes something like: " God bless the man that goes crazy early in the life, at least he spends his life in joy ". To me, this song has a lot to do with it That is just how I see it :) Vlada |
