Black Dog).Īnd Anti-lotr people need to chill just because someone mentions a connection doesn't mean the whole song's about lotr, and doesn't mean the person that made the connection is a fanboy jumping all over everything. Bear in mind, multiple Zep songs had titles that didn't appear in the lyrics, or sometimes weren't related at all (e.g. I'm pretty sure it's name is what Zep took, unless it's a coincidence and they didn't even notice the connection. Maybe even to help him go "over the hills and far away" for a little while.Īs for Tolkien's poem, yes, there is a poem called "Over Old Hills and Far Away," but i just looked it up, and am pretty sure it isn't about Aragorn/Arwen. That's worth livin' for." and the gold is something that this particular person needs to keep going. Secondly, these two lines together basically mean, "ya know, I can't make much out of this life thing, but i do know that some dreams do come true. That doesn't mean the whole song's about drugs though. I think the live versions pretty much nail that down. I live for my dream and a pocketful of gold." "Many dreams come true and some have silver linings Now that's my main interpretation, but there's a couple more things: Many people don't even stop to think about life they just keep on trucking through this life we live.Īnd when you try to comprehend "many," it "only leaves you guessing." "Guessing about a thing." What are we doing? Where are we going? Why can't I stop thinking about her? As someone said, there's a lot of stuff that we don't understand. Roads are an archetype in many forms of art for wonder, the unknown, and journeys(often through life).Īfter wondering about Love, the next logical progression of though would be Life in general.
The lines talk about broken relationships, and when the cycle of "tears of loves lost in the days gone by" (if you've heard Thank You, which is incredible) will end. Oh to touch the dream, hides inside is never seen." This is a common theme of escaping our mundane lives.īefore the next two lines, the sound changes, and it's not all fluffy anymore. To relate to another Zep song, Achilles Last Stand: "Oh to sail away, to sandy lands and other days. The words and sound of this part just make you think of being with that girl, on a beautiful day, not a care in the world. "Over the hills and far away," so to speak. When you think about her, your thoughts just drift away. The first part is about finding that girl you just can't stop thinking about.
This song is about Love and Life, and more. A little sappy, a little serious, a little lighthearted. so here you go, the ZepHead's explaination.
a lot of it was bickering, and not really worth reading. General Commentok, i just read through the 3 pages of posts, and don't feel as though enough's been said.
