What do you think this means?





He goes along just as a water lily


Gentle on the surface of his thoughts his body floats


Unweighed down by passion or intensity


Yet unaware of the depth upon which he coasts


And he finds a home in me


For what misfortune sows, he knows my touch will reap


-Fiona Apple

What do you think these song lyrics mean?
It can be about relationship between a man and a woman. Like almost all the song about.





Or it can be nothing (just word that match with the tone).
Reply:It means that he is merely dabbling in thoughts of her that could could become very deep %26amp; emotional thoughts if he allowed them to, but doesn't because her touch reaps what misfortune sows.
Reply:I have no idea, but I really like Fiona, and I think those are very good powrerful lyrics.
Reply:well it sounds like she's talking about a guy she is having sex w/.
Reply:Hmmm....I think it says : "HELP!!! I'm trapped in ALTERNATIVE ROCK HELL and am in need of some LED ZEPPLIN, STYX, BOSTON, BLONDIE AND THE EAGLES!!!!! Drop some down to me so I can rise from all this new music crap!!!!!"





I might be wrong.....but that's the message Fiona's words hint to me.
Reply:I love that song! To me, she's talking about a man she cares about deeply, who doesn't realize just how important he is to her....though he stays with her because on some level he knows that she will take great care of him. She will 'reap' anything misfortune may bring.
Reply:she is saying how naive this guy is and doesn't realize how she can hurt him.... he is shallow and in love and she knows it.
Reply:I think it's talking about the innocence of children or someone. Like.. just floating and unaware of how deep the water is under you.. its like.. all you see is good, and you are unafraid because you do not know. that's just what I think.
Reply:A man- who is care free- who seems to floating along enjoying lifes simplicity worry free-not aware of the fact that the life around him is not so simple-finds her-and maybe with him-she can find that same blissfullness. Who knows-its Fiona Apple.
Reply:I think the lyrics mean...





He goes along pretending like there's nothing wrong just as she makes it seem, but he doesn't know that what's inside of her is more than she can give, and she knows that she can't have him holding on so tightly that eventually...it'll all have to end.
