what about prince and sway? these songs are really hard for me to understand.
to me, most of the songs on this album are either about depression or obsession! LoL.
Prince, Sway, Pretty Baby, Rinse -- they just scream to me about loving someone who doesn't love you back. Being completely consumed by someone who may not even know the real you. Or someone who just uses you and you fall for it every time....
Sway - make me high on lullibies - basically false promises. Things he said he would do, like love you/marry you, all just to get something from you. Basically how one will say just about anything to get what he wants , "hey, I'll stop the rain for you, you just have to do this for me first..." and we believe. Every time. But every time the promise is never kept and we are then let down
Price - willing and able to do anything...ANYTHING for the person. Anything to GET the person or KEEP the person. Will it come back around to you? Will that person do the same for you? Then if we stop giving in to this person, stop trying to get him or to keep him, would he even notice? Would he fight for you? Would he care enough to see you, the real you (can't you see what's been found)
these are just my interpretations, as this is what they meant to me at a time in my life when I heard them first.
