wow talk about over analyzing. dngshouse do you really believe he thought about the song that deeply? do you think he used the word womb so perfectly to match his 'temporary' metaphors? Because when you read the song, it sounds more like he just used it cause it rhymed. It sounds like hes just using various imagery to describe the will to be locked up. when you think about it... what IS permanent? if a rock wall isnt permanent, nothing is. i think you're looking to closely at imagery just meant to be lyrical range, not some deep meaning. bongo is right, though, the last two meanings are the key to the song. they describe what he is (the rock, the island). anyway
You're absolutely right - in truth, nothing is permanent so what he said is nonsense - as George Harrison said, 'all things must pass'. And please, no phoney romantic BS about how love is forever - it's for however long it lasts - now and then 'til death.

@Jinx Of course Simon thought so deeply, he is held as one of the best songwriters of all time. Do you think the brush strokes of Van Gogh are by chance as well? The great artists intend every single stroke and nuance of every single note and second.\r\n\r\nBruce Springsteen recorded over 2000 takes of Jungleland, why do you think he did that, why did the band and studio staff support it? Because it was the search for perfection. \r\nThe search for perfection does not leave something as important as lyrics to chance. \r\n\r\n"Don\'t over analyse?" Well, OK, but the...

Well, OK, but the entire point of art is that the beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, so let each establish their own level of meaning. Yours is shallow, not deep, enjoy it, but don\'t tell others to not search for meaning, you will kill artistic exploration with such sentiments and that is a heartbreaking thing to be doing. Open your eyes Jinx, open your mind, and your heart and embrace the depth of meaning and feeling that these artists break themselves to achieve. They did it FOR YOU, so if you chose to ignore it, fine, but do not tell others not to.
