One of the beautiful things about music is knowing what inspired it to come about. What makes music more beautiful is its allowing individuals to interpret and find meaning for themselves. It can mean something to me, but then transform and be something totally different and unique to someone else altogether. Don't argue about a song meaning this or that...just share what it means to you.
I don't get from this that it's about her virginity at all. I feel like it's about how she might have ended a relationship that was actually good and great by saying she wasn't sure what she wanted and then down the road realized the relationship was what she wanted most of all but it could be too late.
if you love her, this is your chance to own her album...new and sealed...go to ebay...up for bids for only 0.99 USD...good luck you guys! you will never be sorry you bought her album, promsie!
shes very theatrical when she sings parts like 1:27-1:31 and shes so theatrical throughout her entire album. That's why i admire her.! thats also why shes so unique and great.
@TreeKickerx3 thats not true. the swan song is a well known myth. its about how swans are supposedly mute their entire life, except right before they die, at which time they sing their own funeral songs. so "i wrote the words to the swan song" means that she was the instrument to her own demise. whatever went wrong in the relationship was her fault.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
wow........i had just hurt my very best friend mason, i'm madly and irrevocably in love with him, and i had said something wrong but i meant to say them, i told him to call me every horrible name he could think of... he couldn't... i dont think we'll ever talk the same way again
When you give your heart away and put it all into another person. Then it ends. That's the mild dictionary way of putting it. She expresses the empty, worthless, wasted emotion of it better than anyone.
@dmg11234 there is an old myth that swans are mute their entire life, except as they die, when they sing themselves a song to die to. so if allison "wrote the words to the swan song" she was the instrument of her own demise. pawning off her treasures i think is just a metaphor for giving something up and then wishing you didnt. maybe she gave up the trust she had with her boyfriend by cheating on him, or maybe she lost her virginity to someone and then they broke up with her.
@cherryblossom141 I know the meaning to the song.....arg, this is why I hate posting comments. I think it's beautiful and I think I can relate so if I want it as my wedding song...then I can...
