| This Song is one of the best oldies ever! It reminds me of a special person in my life, someone that I will never have to say good bye to:) I don't get it, was she a snake or something?? "Instead you lay still in the grass All coiled up and hissin",,what's that about? I love the song, even with the weird snake part | |

| I think he is saying that BEFORE he met her, there was something missing in his life, namely the feelings of love. Now that he has experienced what it feels like, he will never stop loving her. | |

| Okay, for all you folks out there who want an in depth meaning to the song, well lucky fer yewww I'll be the first to explain this damn song properly, finally. Basically what this song means, is in fact, about his girl cheating on him(in reports Kevin Cronin lead vocals), but he still, and WILL continue to love and be with her. "You should've seen by the look in my eyes, baby There was somethin missin You should've known by the tone of my voice, maybe But you didn't listen" This basically plays on the fact that he was really hurt by her actions, and she didnt realise just, by how much. "You played dead But you never bled" Right, this part of the song, shows how inconsistent her stories were,and that he kinda had a gut feeling she wasn't giving him the whole picture , eg.the cheating Instead you lay still in the grass All coiled up and hissin" She hoped that the suspicions would quickly pass over "lay still in the grass" "all coiled up and hissin" and also, stayed on the defensive, arguing with him perpetually so on so forth maybe also because of her guilty conscious. "And though I know all about those men Still I don't remember" He goes straight to it now, he tells her he knows, and yet metaphorically doesnt remember, or simply put, "chooses" not to remember eg. forgive "Cause it was us baby, way before then And we're still together" He is showing her what the two of them are made of, that reltionships like their's did not grow on trees, but were truly meant to be.(hey that rhymed) And even after all that, the growing pains and hurt, they're both..ermm...STILL TOGETHER "And I meant, every word I said When I said that I love you I meant That I love you forever" And he meant, every word he saidd "And I'm gonna keep on lovin you Cause it's the only thing I wanna do I don't wanna sleep I just wanna keep on lovin you" There is nothing in the world he would rather do more, than that, to love her, forever, and ever.. Amen. So yeah, thats about covers it, and that my friends, is "Keep on Lovin' you", interpreted. | |
