Father Father, let me love you...

Father Father, let me love you...

Saw you wondering in my dream, last night... singing...

Wonder wonder what you might do...

You can't simply hide our dream in the blue

Don't try to fight, don't let me go.

You've gone too far from what I know.

I lost my heart in the dark with you.

Father father, why you let me go?

Father, please...don't let me go.

I'm not going to lie. It's a fairly emotional song.

I played it for a few people and I have received mixed reviews. I thought I better dissect it a little and consider the meaning of the text - to me.

Father - not actually my father... perhaps a God-like figure? A role model? Someone who I consider to be influential in my life.

Father Father, let me love you - I guess for some reason or another it is impossible? or hard to love? perhaps due to something, a trait, habit?

Saw you wondering in my dream, last night... singing... - Ah, I think about you a lot, perhaps you aren't what I want you to be in my life, so I have a vision of you in my minds eye.

Wonder wonder what you might do... - Both you and I know that you are unpredictable. I can't find a method or a pattern, you are consistent in habits, however not consistent in their timing or frequency.

You can't simply hide our dream in the blue - ...and here we see that part that gets me every time. She very nicely sticks an accent on 'our', it is both my and your dream... and we both know that.

Don't try to fight, don't let me go.

You've gone too far from what I know.

I lost my heart in the dark with you.

Father father, why you let me go?

Father, please...don't let me go.

All of that chorus confuses me. Why would you let me go if I didn't want to be let go? She sounds upset with him, however feels like she has no choice but to leave him. Is heart a metaphor for hope? and dark a metaphor for evil?

Let me love you - Why isn't she allowed to love him?

When looking on my own thoughts of the words 'Father father, why you let me go? Father, please...don't let me go.' I come back always to the idea of her walking out on him. Like, she had to make an ultimatum and the choice was that she didn't come back to him.. and he let her walk.

All food for thought.

Further contemplation will occur.

Musochick.
