wordsmith Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Fridge, I would have agreed with you right up until SnA. This is the first album that I had trouble getting my head around a line or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Ways Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Mentioned in the original post: I've got a date with fate in a black sedan. We all do and it's called a hearse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pwrgirl35 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 (edited) TEARS I've listened to that song since I was a teen, and I'm not completely lost on the lyrics. And yes, I know it's not a favorite...but I like it. The lyrics are a bit confusing and vague. I interpret that it's about some kind of infidelity, but why is she crying for him? Was it her infidelity? Or is it even about infidelity? And why do "tears that only cry" touch him deeper? Could someone give their take on these lyrics? Thanks!

Grapes_under_pressure Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 on tears i agree. i dont fully understand it yet it still makes me kinda sad, but i guess thats why neil writes the lyrics= so that most of the time, the make sence.

Pwrgirl35 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Thanks for replying, GUP. Totally cryptic lyrics. LOL! Here is the only video someone made (of which I'm sure most have already seen here) to that song on YouTube.com that I like. It just runs with scenery and images of tears...but it's kind of neat. http://youtube.com/watch?v=CDbLqpPqWG4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The400Boys Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 QUOTE (GeddysMullet @ Aug 14 2007, 10:43 AM) I think it's good when songs are open to interpretation. My favourite part of the Snakes And Arrows documentary is when Geddy talks about how sometimes to him a song is about something that is totally different from what it's about to Neil, and how that's okay with both of them. That, too, I think, is part of the magic. It's funny how people can take different meanings from a song. When different people (from different cultural backgrounds, ages, socioeconomic groups) all interpret the same thing in the same way, it's called "mass entertainment."When different people all interpret the same in different ways, it's called "art."
