Here I will just pick up any random song I think is cool, and go onto say why I think its cool.
Today I’m going to choose “A Letter To Elise” by The Cure.
You can find the full lyrics HERE. I won’t bother to put it up myself, just wastes space.
Well what I think this song is about is: A boy thinking about ending a relationship with a girl because hes beginning to realise that things aren’t really working out even though he really wanted it to.
“I know I’ll never really get inside of you
To make your eyes catch fire
The way they should
The way the blue could pull me in
If they only would
If they only would”
I think thats like, hes trying to make a connection with her, but he can’t, as in he can’t feel those strong feelings for her like he should.
“Elise believe I never wanted this
I thought this time I’d keep all of my promises
I thought you were the girl I always dreamed about
But I let the dream go
And the promises broke
And the make-believe ran out…”
Here he talks about his regret, where he thought he would be able to keep all his promises and the “make believe” ran out, so maybe that’s like the love they first had. I’m thinking it could be like when you get into a new relationship, you are just all googly eyed that it tends to blind you from all the things that could go wrong”
“And every time I try to pick it up
Like falling sand
As fast as I pick it up
It runs away through my clutching hands
But there’s nothing else I can really do
There’s nothing else I can really do
There’s nothing else
I can really do
At all…”
In this verse he talks about trying to fix up the broken relationship but its not working, like the metaphor of the falling sand, so as soon as he tries to fix something, it goes wrong and hes just exhausted all options.
Beautiful song I think, heres a video of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amx07ZAri7o
