OK, I'm sort of selfishly hoping that this will become a mega-thread, with lots of people bringing different lyrics for interpretation. I wanted to start off with the lyrics to "I Am the Highway" by Audioslave, because lately I can't not listen to it for more than a few hours. But I'm not terribly sure I understand it. So, here are the lyrics, anyone want to take a crack at them? And feel free to threadjack with a confusing song of your own. Yes, I am prepared for people (hi Dye) to post lyrics to "Happy Birthday" and "Mary Had a Little Lamb."
Anyway, here goes...
Pearls and swine bereft of me
Long and weary my road has been
I was lost in the cities
Alone in the hills
No sorrow or pity for leaving I feel
(chorus)
I am not your rolling wheels
I am the highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky
Friends and liars don't wait for me
I'll get on all by myself
I put millions of miles
Under my heels
And still too close to you
I feel
(chorus)
I am not your rolling wheels
I am the highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky
I am not your blowing wind
I am the lightning
I am not your autumn moon
I am the night
Anyway, here goes...
Pearls and swine bereft of me
Long and weary my road has been
I was lost in the cities
Alone in the hills
No sorrow or pity for leaving I feel
(chorus)
I am not your rolling wheels
I am the highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky
Friends and liars don't wait for me
I'll get on all by myself
I put millions of miles
Under my heels
And still too close to you
I feel
(chorus)
I am not your rolling wheels
I am the highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky
I am not your blowing wind
I am the lightning
I am not your autumn moon
I am the night
