Writing about songs that make no sense here is another example.
SHE CAME IN THROUGH THE BATHROOM WINDOW
PROTECTED BY A SILVER SPOON
AND NOW SHE SUCKS HER THUMB IN WONDER
BY THE BANKS OF HER OWN LAGOON :eek:

Now she sucks her thumb, because she has gone back to childhood as her mind and brains have been dried out by drugs and she has a lot of "lagoons", memory lagoons, all due to doing drugs.
Of course, this can all be just my imagination...:cool:
Not so fast! A baby born with a "silver spoon" in its mouth means that his or her parents are rich and the child will never have to work hard or struggle in its life. So, I would recommend reading the lyrics again with that in mind and you can get quite a different picture...
:D :D I did say that it could be all in my mind!Quote:

I don't know, still, then the rest has nothing to do with this rich upbringing. What do you make of it, scott?
Well, truth be told I'm not the biggest Beatles fan (*dodges tomatoes*), but I do know that this song is based on a true story...and this is also at the time from when they were experimenting in more "abstract" imagery (if I have to explain "Yellow Submarine", I am logging off and not coming back), so I'm not sure it "means" anything literally.
You can look at it a couple of ways, though: it describes a young girl who tried to take on too much, too soon in a big city and eventually ended up regressing ("sucking her thumb") and becoming more and more withdrawn from the outside world ("wanders by the banks of her own lagoon"--I should note that "memory lagoon" is not a phrase in English like it is in Spanish and "gap" would probably be the best translation for "laguna" in this sense). That's the interpretation I put to it when I read it. Of course a lot of drugs were involved and I could see these lines being written with a wink and a nudge, but my gut feeling is still that it's a rich girl who wasn't taught how to survive on her own...feel free to disagree...
Nice, Scott! Very nice interpretation.
if you wish you can go to lyrics and meaning of she came in....
on the internet.
there you will find many comments on the song. I tend to agree with
SCOTTJ. thanks for the clarafications.
A song always makes sense for the person who writes it! That's the most important! If it also makes sense for others, even best!
