![]() ![]() ![]() Hopefully, it doesn't mean the Earth as that's more like a sphere. I'm not sure what "the circle" refers to. The woman felt those forces, but after she died that feeling went into limbo however, when the spirit embodied the child the forces were felt "again." One interpretation is that the stanza above is from the point of view of the child's soul or spirit, one that has been reincarnated. The child that is born isn't feeling the forces of nature, gravity, and atmosphere, for the first time: rather the child is feeling them once "again." Given the youth and therefore inexperience of the child, that seems to be strange. If you are feeling something "again" it means that you have felt it at least once before, the feeling then disappeared, and you are feeling it for at least a second time. The use of the word "again" as it appears twice in the chorus shouldn't be ignored. Forces pullin' from the center of the earth again.Like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind.god is exercising his power) a child is born and a woman dies. However, more broadly lighting is just a symbol of power: the message seems to be that the power over life and death comes from the heavens above. Certainly, Thor is one god that is depicting as having control over the thunderbolts. The description of lightning in the first two stanzas and throughout the song's lyrics could be taken as a reference to god. In my view, that description continues in the chorus with the usage of just one word, an idea I'll return to shortly. This is the first hint that reincarnation is being described in the song. The two events are not presented as independent events: there is a reference to "confusion," or life, changing ownership in lines four and five of the second stanza. Conversely, "the angel" could be a literal one that actively opens and closes the eyes of the child and woman respectively. could be viewed as "The angel) enters the world while in the second stanza "The angel" is a dying woman. The paralleling lyrics between the first stanza and the second one are clear enough, but they describe contrasting situations. Lightning crashes and an old mother dies.Metaphors used in the stanza include "angel" for the newborn child and a feeling of "confusion" as life itself. In this stanza, childbirth and its pains are described. Before the doctor can even close the door.Lightning crashes and a new mother cries.However, I'm going to argue that the song is deep in theism and religion with references to reincarnation. The setting is clearly a hospital and the circle of life is described. ![]() Yet, many adore the track today as much then, including legendary singers Kelly Clarkson and Stevie Nicks, who both recently added their names to the long list of acolytes for “Crash Into Me.This isn't a difficult song, especially if you watch the music video. Not necessarily lyrics for the faint of heart. (Sometimes you have to make art about what you’d never do in real life.) Matthews sings: While this story may not be everyone’s taste, especially today, when sung by Matthews over his acoustics, it was undeniable in the mid-‘90s. It’s about someone watching a girl through her bedroom window. He also said, “This song is about the worship of women.” But he noted it’s also from the eyes of a “little bit of a crazy man.” The kind of person you’d call the police on. Matthews said as much about the lyrics’ meaning himself during a VH1 Storytellers. Substantively, “Crash Into Me” is from the perspective of, well, a Peeping Tom. “ Crash was the one that Steve Lillywhite said, and I’m sure he was just trying to make me happy, ‘It’s going to be metal!’ I was like, ‘Whoa, really, okay!’ Then it wasn’t metal at all, of course.” Nobody’s going to not notice that guitar part because you’re all playing it together, you know?… That was how we did it for the first couple of albums, like that. “You’d play all the parts that Dave does so they get so fat. On each side, there is a guitar doing the same thing and it sounds really fat… He said, “On the first couple of albums, Steve Lillywhite would have me double everything that Dave did so it would be stereo guitars in unison, kind of like when you do metal guitars. DMB drummer, Carter Beauford, is an octopus on the kit, with seemingly more arms than any other percussionist. It’s bright with thick acoustic guitars and smooth horns. The music was produced by longtime DMB collaborator, Lillywhite. Both the album and the song were recorded by the Dave Matthews Band with official-unofficial band member and expert, nimble guitarist Reynolds along for the journey. ![]()
