General Comment To me this song is definitely about an affair. When you kiss that person and know you shouldn't but want to so much. The being madly in love with the other person and being unsure of how they feel I think most of the first part of the song is self-explanatory - but I love the line "you step a little closer each day, so close I can't see what's going on".
This shows he is completely in love with her but it's all happening so fast and at a time it shouldn't that it's hard to keep up and understand what's happening My understanding of the chorus is Stones taught me to fly - Something that you know should not be giving you the strength and feelings that you have and yet it does.
It's about becoming reliant on someone that you know you shouldn't to feel good Love it taught me to lie - Falling in love with the other person and having to lie to your partner. Or it could be that you have fallen in love so early on and so deeply that you have to keep your feelings hidden and therefore lie Life it taught me to die - The turmoil and confusion caused by it all that all you want to do is lock yourself away and not deal with reality.
Living life dangerously knowing that there is so much there but yet one day it may all come crashing down around you So come on courage teach me to be shy - To me this is about being completely and madly in love with someone you shouldn't therefore sometimes it's best to back away no matter how hard that is.
This is a lovely song. I had an affair last year and the person I was seeing sent me this song - every line fitted my life entirely and I couldn't help but cry when listen to it - I still can't. A very powerful and moving song very cleverly written Sazzle14 on March 19, Link. There was an error. Ha Ha - would have let you off with that spelling mistake lol. Thanks for the feedback - glad you agreed with my interpretation :- Sazzle14 on June 13, General Comment This is one of the most beautiful and relatable songs I know.
The character is explaining his hesitance and insecurity in committing to a girl. The relationship is slowly growing in closeness every day and the man is scared because he feels like it's fated to bugger up. After all, he buggers up everything he does, he "floats like a cannonball". It is interspersed with something I think everyone over a certain age can relate to: the realisation that all your teachers in life, parents, role models, whatever, didn't in fact know what they were doing themselves; they were stones teaching people to fly.
In light of this, how is a poor sap like this bloke, or any of us, supposed to have any idea what we're doing either? It's this realisation, that there are no guarantees in life, which makes people age more than anything else. No Replies Log in to reply. General Comment My interpretation of this song, is that the singer is a bit of a loose cannon obvious reference to the title of the song. He's been hurt many times before.
His heart has been broken many times before. Everything that should have been good went bad, and he knows he should be hesitant in this love that he is falling into all over again, but it's hard for him to listen to his learned logic,"when he floats like a cannonball" and dives right into the affection and hope he's always wanted but has lost so many times prior.
What really ties my interpretation together is this line, which happens to be my favorite: "So come on courage! Teach me to be shy " That is the most simple, beautiful part of the whole song for me.
It means that he is too open, he has too much 'courage' for love. He knows due to past hardships that he should be taking it slower, and be more 'shy' with the relationship, but he just can't help it.
Because, he 'floats like a cannonball', meaning, he doesn't float at all. He dives right into love, and crashes every time at the bottom.
