I am genuinely curious to know what you think I am reading into the lyrics,
and equally curious to know what you think they are singing about instead
I must apologize for words omitted in the post you responded to,
though it seems you understood well enough even at that
PS~ I am still listening to this song
I have no idea what they're singing about, except that it has something to do with a land of make-believe. Their lyrics don't often make sense. In fact, I don't think most pop / rock singers are really signing about anything in a good percentage of their songs. Rather, they just need something to fill up against the music.
I have examples and reasons for saying this, and I know that you all out there will point me to musicians or specific songs that go against what I'm saying. Know that I'm not saying that there isn't a single pop song in western history that has a legitimate meaning (Avenged Sevenfold's "Critical Acclaim" certainly has a very clear and passionately-stated meaning, e.g.). I'm only saying that I think a lot of them don't.
