Plato is against “You and Me”


Lighthouse is wasting the time they used to write the words when they are obviously trying to prove something though they claim they are not. With the love felt for this woman that is being sung about the man should not be singing but showing her his love. He claims he is losing time but if he did other things besides writing and singing this song he would get things done. He is also not using his brain to the fullest as there must be logic to figure out his attraction or it cannot truly be love. This song appears to me to have little wisdom and therefore the artist cannot be a true artist as his soul appears to have been given fruitlessly to a woman. This “art” is not the true thing as it is art and therefore a replica; it is also not the creator so begins at being twice removed. Once I look further I see that this song is about a love that he has made further removing it from the true form. I have said that “... When any sorrow of our own happens to us … we (men) would fain be quiet and patient… “ meaning we as men should not show sorrow as we would be as women. Due to this the artist as a man should stop wallowing in song and make something of himself, with or without the woman that his song appears to be about.
