| I think this song provides abstract imagery and doesn't really have a concrete meaning. I'm not sure though, there could be some underlying meaning... who is "she"? | |

| This is the type of song where you don't even have to listen to the lyrics to feel the emotions that went into it. Everytime I hear it I get a little teary eyed, and I'm not sure why. | |

| Well im not great at analyzing things but heres what i think. "Theres spring in the air, theyre sweeping the streets." means that shes in love with someone new and is clearing out her old past. "Wind is a breeze." simply means that new love is in the air but its empty, like the wind can breeze through her heart which is empty. "The sun becomes her." means happiness becomes her because he makes her happy. "what’s holding up her face? nothing but blue skies." means the only thing keeping her going is hope for new love. "Passage ways to windows that dont close." is saying that you cant shut anything of anyone out of your life. Saying that love is a place means that love is something you live in and cant get out of. "the minds eye comtemplates." is the only thing i dont yet understand. someone can help me out maybe? | |

| the first line says "theres spring in the air" or love in the air so i think shes saying that love is like "blue skies" which is making her smile or "holding up her face." | |

| "Love is a Place" is a poem by e.e. Cummings. love is a place & through this place of love move (with brightness of peace) all places yes is a world & in this world of yes live (skilfully curled) all worlds | |

| the imagery is clearly saying that she's cleaned out (spring in the air, sweeping the streets) her past not-so-great life, and now that he's there (the sun becomes her, he agrees) she's happy, she's bright, she's in love. the happiness of love (the blue skies) are holding up her face, making her brilliantly happy. good song. | |

| i think this song is about a girl who's always depressed in the winter, then when spring comes she becomes happy and optimistic again. "blue skies" are "holding up her face" as in they're making her smile. maybe i'm wrong... but it's jsut how i feel in the spring, so it makes me happy. | |

| i am not sure what you think lyrics are really supposed to be, but of course not all of them are exact story lines that explain characters it's about being open for interpretation and this song is not just abstract | |
