Apparently this week I am just very into dissecting song lyrics to get the meaning of the songs. To many times people know all the words to a song but cant put together the songs meaning, or rather they don't think to. It seems most people are really just concerned about the way the words sound together. I will admit I have been guilty of this before. Although sometimes when I listen to a song a few words catch my attention emotionally and than I actually listen to what it is that the song is trying to say.
So I'm dissecting the lyrics of The Dolphin's Cry which also happens to be by Live.
The way you're bathed in light
Reminds me of that night
God laid me down into your rose garden of trust
And I was swept away
With nothin' left to say
Some helpless fool
Yeah I was lost in a swoon of peace
You're all I need to find
So when the time is right
Come to me sweetly, come to me
Come to me
Love will lead us, alright
Love will lead us, she will lead us
Can you hear the dolphin's cry?
See the road rise up to meet us
It's in the air we breathe tonight
Love will lead us, she will lead us
Oh yeah, we meet again
It's like we never left
Time in between was just a dream
Did we leave this place?
This crazy fog surrounds me
You wrap your legs around me
All I can do to try and breathe
Let me breathe so that I
So we can go together!
Love will lead us, alright
Love will lead us, she will lead us
Can you hear the dolphin's cry?
See the road rise up to meet us
It's in the air we breathe tonight
Love will lead us, she will lead us
Life is like a shooting star
It don't matter who you are
If you only run for cover, it's just a waste of time
We are lost 'til we are found
This phoenix rises up from the ground
And all these wars are over
Over
Over
Singin' la da da, da da da
Over
Come to me
Singin' la da da da, da da da
Come to me
Though after reading the lyrics to the song you get the feel that its about sex on the beach, which is true, I feel like there is more to it than that. I think its more about loving someone so much that you can barley control yourself, and that when you leave nothing really matters until your back again, its all a "fog" "Love will lead us"
Life is like a shooting star
It don't matter who you are
If you only run for cover, it's just a waste of time
We are lost 'til we are found
This phoenix rises up from the ground
And all these wars are over
These lyrics to me strike a lot of meaning, they're saying that love will find anyone and everyone, whether you're ready or not, no matter what has happened to you in the past, love doesn't care. love is what leads us ;)
How about Chad Taylor's backing vocals?
ReplyDeleteLove will lead us, alright
To the lotus, she will lead us
Love will lead us, alright
Just surrender, love will receive us
I wonder what those lyrics mean, when they speak of the lotus. I know it's meant to say when love finds you, give in to it and don't be afraid, but the lotus part intrigues me so much...
There is also a European film named "The Dolphins Cry". The plot of the film is about a military crew on a submarine. They get infected with a leprosy like disease.At the end of the film the captain makes a decision to shoot off warheads infected with the disease to plague mankind. At the the last moment he decides to call off the attack. When you read the plot in full there are similarities to the structure of the song. Although the lead guitarist said in an interview that "it is to come to a sense of quietness. To where one may here the cry of the dolphins. Anyways I hope this helped.
