He has tried many different tactics to give him some sustenance in life, but they just end up becoming baggage and don't serve as music (music as a metaphor, and music as literally). He's so far gone that he can't capture the music. Song MeaningThe song starts with the speaker trying to find some inspiration. Just about someone who misses the person they are with. The mistress is his career, he has to go away again to perform, although he has fans, band members he will still be lonely still missing her. Then his cup is empty at the hotel bar, the batender looks at him to see if he wants another but he starts laughing because her wig is crooked. He wishes he could see her, he knows he can't but still they hang on (blind love is true). He is missing her he is trying to call, he either can't get through or run out of time (10 cents for each minute long distance payphone remember). The holy ghost is supposedly in our hearts, mind and soul, how much closer can you get to someone other than this. She is not there so it will be very hard to sleep (toss and turn) without her. The chrous part he wants this girl tonight he misses her so much he wants to lay with her tonight but He then wakes in the morning with a hangover (while some marching band keeps its own beat in my head) and he's talking to his girl on the phone. Blond is another word for marjuana, he hallucinated that the girl was still in his bed, then he started thinking of crazy stuff, like weed does to you. You ever have writers block, you drink, and do marijuana (And some blond gave me nightmares). He is trying to write a song but can't find the words. I'm sorry my english is not perfect, but I hope I got my opinion across :) She must just belive that he would die for her.thats how much he loves her. And he's got nothing to proove his love for her. And after he wont be alone, but he still feel lonely. I belive his mistress here is the rock'n'roll life, the show, the stage. When she goes to bed at night and closes her eyes, then she must know that even though he has to go on stage and preform, he will be thinking of her. But this one is just to funny so he laughs insted.Ĥ. And he might have said yes, because he often do. He's in some bar, drinking wiskey, the barkeeper looks at him with like an invite.wanna do it in the back-kind of invite. And "Baby blind love is true" is hislove for her, even though he can't see her.īridge. "The bird on a wire" I like to think of as maby the "phone signal" travelling through the phone lines.or maby I see a bird outside in a tree and I send it a message with my thoughts and hope you see a bird outside in your tree and "hears" it. (Remember this was before cell-phines and Skype etc) But even though he misses her and logs to see her, he's struggeling to find time in his busy day to call her, and when he does it's hard to get through to her (have you ever tried long distance phone calls from a payphone in another country) And he misses his girl and would pay like A LOT to be able to see her face when he calls her. He's so far away that no mather withc direction he takes a step, he could say it's one step closer to home. And he has a nice talk with his girlfriend/wife.ģ.verse Now his on the road again. Again he has a hangover.a marcingband drum-drum-drum in his head. "With an ironclad fist I wake up and french kiss the morning" He wakes up stretching, fists closed and yawns :) like most of us do when we can sleep untill we wake up on our own. In other words hi feels like shit!Ģ.verse This is so great. And he's realizing that his behaviour is not worthy of any movie. He's got a hangover because of drinking to much and he's got a strange blond in his bed.probobly a groupie.he's not even sure if she's left yet. verse is him somwhere out there in the world, on tour lost track of days and dates. This son became one of my favourites back in 93 and me and my friend "decoded it" for fun.ġ. My InterpretationI understand everyone has his or her own oppinion, but there are lots of really crappy suggestions here. I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is Well, this hotel bar's hangover whiskey's gone dryīut I laughed so hard I think I died, ooh yeahīut you know that don't mean I'm not lonely 'Til' the bird on the wire flies me back to you Oh, I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost isĪ king's ransom in dimes I give each night About all of the things that I long to believeĪbout love the truth and what you mean to meĪnd the truth is, baby you're all that I need
