It's a good song, and I can usually forgive most grammatical mistakes in popular music, but "And so castles made of sand, slips into the sea..." just kills me.

Members machine gunner Posted July 27, 2006 Members Share Posted July 27, 2006 So many great ones in such a short career. That being said, a few that come to mind: Machine Gun (of course!), Voodoo Chile (Slight Return), Wind Cries Mary, Roomful Of Mirrors, Little Wing, Hey Joe, All Along The Watchtower (best cover EVER), I Don't Live Today, Foxy Lady, Third Stone From The Sun... :thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may be an intentional mind bender, starting a sentence with one idea that appears to be going somewhere and then sending it with a twist somewhere else, just to spice up your space-out."And so castles made of sand, slips into the sea..." could also read, ""And so castles made of... sand slips into the sea..." So, it is the sand that slips (and the castles are left hanging in your subconscious). At a poetic level this makes (some) sense, especially as it echoes the plight of the girl in the wheelchair. She intends to go the route of the sand into the sea, but, owing to the distraction of the ship is left somewhere else like the castle. Maybe. Neil Young and Bob Dylan also do stuff like this: take you on one road but drop you off on another with wordplay. Ambiguity is a huge part of rock lyrics.

Members Jimi Ray Halen Posted July 27, 2006 Members Share Posted July 27, 2006 Poetic license. The girl's broken body is the "castle made of sand" and she slips into the sea. Ashes to ashes. That's what I get out of it. Jimi worshipped Dylan and his writing style. I didn't understand this at first but I came to understand it later.
