Meanings

Meanings

Music has always been deep in my life.
Tones, rhythms, beats
all have reached me
in ways nothing else ever has.
But, sometimes,
the lyrics themselves take on life
all their own, apart from the intended meanings
or surface perceptions.
The people that write the songs
(isn’t that a cliché),
they’re tricky.
They can say one word,
just one
and have it touch millions in different ways.
Song titles can have that effect too,
a form of poetry in themselves.
Take for example,
A country song, entitled
“what was I thinking?”
Just that combination of words,
in that specific order
has many different meanings for all
that see it,
hear it,
read it.
What does it mean?
Where is it going?
Where is it coming from?
Was it planned?
Or is it random…
Sometimes,
there are only more questions;
No answers.
But then again,
do I really want to know?
