| Pink Floyd – One Slip Lyrics | 2 months ago |
|
Yes yes yes, about sex. But you're missing the point. The song is only tangentially about sex. He and some random chick made a baby they didn't intend to, and now he's a daddy. Apparently, this guy isn't a moral bankrupt; he accepts responsibility for the life he and she created, even though it will take his life down a completely different path than he expected. The song is about that moment when one makes a decision that unexpectedly changes their life forever. It's about how drastic consequences can result from a decision we didn't really think that much about before making it. One slip and down the hole we fall It seems to take no time at all A momentary lapse of reason That binds a life for life A small regret, you won't forget There'll be no sleep in here tonight |

| Colin Hay – Waiting For My Real Life To Begin Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
This song is about a man with a dream he won't let go of, even though Time is slipping away from him while he waits for the plan he already has to work out. He's wasting time he can't get back waiting for it, and the world is passing him by. His lover tells him to open up his heart and let the light shine in, just be where he is and live in the moment he really is in. But he won't. The "real" life he's waiting to begin is all he wants, all he can or will accept. What he doesn't see is that his life and any chance for happiness based in reality is passing him by while he waits for his ship to come in. In the end, he still holds on the foolish hope that any minute now, his ship will come in and he'll start living the life he wants, even though he can see a very long way and it isn't in sight. It's not a happy or encouraging song in the least. It's a song about wasting what you could have, waiting for something that never happens. |
