Best Melody/Worst Lyrics in a Live song, Your thoughts..... Options

[lakinis_juice]

Just started listening to my long list of Live songs and on comes TURN MY HEAD, this is one of the most powerful songs i dont listen to enough, and i must say for all the passion and great guitars throughout, i find the lyrics somewhat lacking....

anyone, caught in you mystery
keep it angry
keep it whispy
i've fallen down
drunk on your juices

turn my head
turn my head
it's aimed at you

funky temple
your dress is torn to shreds
your eyes are crazy
i bowed to save my head and
i can't forget you
but i remember

turn my head
turn my head
it's aimed at you

oh no,
we came to love you all day
these bastards are leavin'
somebody's go to stay
whatever we called you
it's just a name
just a name

Anyone else agree, if someone would like to put the interpretaion foward as well would be great. I love the song!!! the lyrics just dont quite set it emtionally for me say like RTTW does.

I love this song too! The lyrics to me mean something a lot different than some of you guys were posting, but I guess it's good to have imagination lol! Here's what I think they mean:

anyone, caught in your mystery
keep it angry
keep it whispy
i've fallen down
drunk on your juices

(The lyrics "Your" here seems, talking ed-style anyway, to be referring to the abstract notion of God, or whatever you want to call it. Ed's pretty famous for his spiritual search, no?)

turn my head
turn my head
it's aimed at you

funky temple
your dress is torn to shreds
your eyes are crazy
i bowed to save my head and
i can't forget you
but i can't remember

(Here it seems he's making a reference to a common theme behind his music, the female muse, a sort of abstract concept surrounding the love and light of the universe. So, using this idea of an abstract muse, he's portraying her "body" ie, dress, eyes-as symbols for the manifestation of reality in entirety. Because, on a smaller scale we are all individual temples, but collectively we collaborate as a whole unified temple. Collectively, our "dress" is the physical reality around us, and look at the war around us, the poverty, the disease-- torn to shreds. Collectively, we all see through our eyes- but are we all really seeing? Too many people seem to be on autopilot instead of truly trying to navigate with their hearts.
When he's saying I can't forget you, but I can't remember I think he's referring to the fact that according to spiritual traditions we once were in this state of knowing, of perfect oneness and fell from that state (whole adam and eve symbol thing). The I can't forget you, but I can't remember is stating maybe that he's trying to return to that oneness, but can't seem to exactly pinpoint or find it yet in all his searchings).

turn my head
turn my head
it's aimed at you

oh no,
we came to love you all day
these bastards are leavin'
somebody's go to stay
whatever we called you
it's just a name
just a name

(Here it seems to be referring back to the whole idea that we came to be in accordance with "God", or whatever you like to refer the mystery of the universe as, but selfishness and pride (ego) turned us away from this perfect accordance=> hence the "these bastards are leavin', somebody's got to stay"
Whatever we called you it's just a name, just a name--- this has always been one of my favorite lines of this song, he's just referring to the notion of God being so much bigger than what any simple statement or distinction could give indication of).

Just my 2 cents!
