Collective soul december full#
You are more than likely happy to have your cup full again!\n\nIn sum, what he is saying is that whatever it is you want from me, (more warmth, good feelings, an apology etc.) you have the power to get it and to make yourself feel better again. To "tilt my son toward you", means that it is well within your power to get what you want from me.\n\nIf your "cup runneth over again" it means that\nsomething has been restored or replenished that was previously depleted. In these times, as easily as it is to talk about the latest horrific report on the news station, it would do us all well to speak doubly easily about God, Jesus, & the Holy spirit-the Trinity-There is no shame in faith with questions there is shame in denial for the sake of status.My InterpretationAnalysis of "December" by Collective Soul\n\nLyrics\n\n"Why drink the water from my hand, contagious as you think I am?"\n\nWater is what you need to quench your thirst.\nThe artist is asking why do you thirst for (or want) something that I have\nif what I have is altogether unclean or contaminated in your opinion?\n\n**************\n"Just tilt my sun towards your domain and your cup runneth over again"\n\nThe sun is a symbol of warmth (passion/love/friendship/good feelings). I see the song as Jesus talking.remember: in Isaiah, Jesus-the-Son of God is depicted as not easy to look upon.and later in the Bible, he is "rejected in his own land", in spite of Who He really was/is, for goodness' sake. The point is, each person takes from the written/sounded word what he needs.but sometimes, just sometimes, the meaning comes glaringly clear that it came from God in the first place but we, (listeners and artists alike, ) are only enabled to see the meaning when God deems us ready to see it.
Now, with all due fairness, I know that, as an artist, one many times, first acts on the initial inspiration, then steps back and looks/listens/reads what he has created, and says a delayed "Oh." Not necessarily initiated by Collective Soul as " we're going to write a great, Christian-based song," but rather, "I have this cool tune runnin' round in my head." They record it, and maybe some of the band members hear the message, others don't. I agree with one thought contributor who said religious based. The bottom line is, he's sick of her whining and complaining and treating him like he's the one who is messed up when it's really she who is twisted, self-centered and shallow. The rest of the lyrics play along this same theme. She "needs" to impress people in order to be happy and content and she needs HIM to buy all of the stuff that will make her look great (Ambiance and vanity = mansions, luxury cars, expensive clothes, jewelry, etc.) He's onto her now and unwilling to play her game anymore.
She bitches (a lot!) and is critical of him, she complains and is ungrateful and he's just offering her a solution to her woes and unhappiness Babe, If I'm so bad, if your sooo miserable, then dump me!!! !Īgain he asks, if I'm so bad, so messed up, why are you still with me?Īnd then he calls her out, he says he knows what's meaningful to her, she's shallow and she only cares about looking good, not about him. Turn your head now, baby, just spit me out "Don't scream about - Don't think aloud - Turn your head now baby Just spit me out - Don't worry about - don't speak of doubt Your cup runneth over again." He's the "provider", famous, wealthy, he has all the "goodies" and he's aware that she's not so much into him but is only really into what he can give her!!! This song is about being used! He is with someone who is a complainer and blamer and he's saying, if I'm so messed up (according to her), if you're so sick of me, then why are you still with me? But he knows why. This is such a great song and the lyrics are amazing! But I hear something totally different from anything I've read so far.
