leave it up to the .infoer to grasp the meaning.
you make a good point here. this is so much of what music is about - each person connecting to a song in his/her own way. but i still like the idea of a song thread so that each person can share his/her thoughts and maybe gain insight or perspective to further his/her understanding.
having said that, i now have an issue with my last post about putting the "agreed upon" interpretation at the top of the thread. first of all, who are we to decide that? and secondly, reading through the thread will offer the train of thought that is so important to understanding (or thinking you understand) the meaning of a song. so i would say if people are genuinely interested in understanding a song, they should read the thread....
