Miranda. I don't get it.
Miranda..wow, very depressing song. I keep reading people say they think this song is about prostitution??? I don't see it. Elaborate please.

I think it's about Ann Heche, at least in part. I don't really know, though. But I love it.

I'm not sure what it's about (I rarely am) but I do love it, and it's my favorite Lindsey song on SYW.

That's how I interpret it, anyway. It's a dark and achingly beautiful song, with some of Lindsey's most wonderfully evocative lyrics ever. "She sticks the camera right into her arm" - just perfect. That's like a line in a Sylvia Plath poem. (By the way, why aren't the Say You Will lyrics in the Penguin lyric archive?) (Didn't the Ledge have a Lyrics Interpretation forum back in the day?) |

Which brings us back around to Anne Heche.

Not that Lindsey doesn't have a penchant for stealing lines from American female poets... |

At the end of the day The end of the light She keeps the remains of all of her foes Miranda is dying with all of her might She never comes She always goes She sticks the camera right into her arm Anything to forget what the trouble's about It causes her pain, That's part of the charm She's down for the count then finally out Miranda is taking the stars down A little something to call her own But the lion still rules Miranda And Miranda is always alone She sees her face in another magazine And the walls all close in as the fancy takes flight Can't stand to be loved, But she loves to be seen She slips down headlong into the night Miranda is taking the stars down A little something to call her own But the lion still rules Miranda And Miranda is always alone And then all at once the sun starts to rise She sees her father holding her down All the daylight is poison to her eyes She slips down the shade and lets herself drown Miranda is taking the stars down A little something to call her own But the lion still rules Miranda And Miranda is always alone The lights shine down the marina All across her safety zone But loneliness follows Miranda And Miranda is always alone Miranda is always alone Miranda is always alone

It's a fantastic song, I'm never tired of it. The music structure is a travel in itself, the lyrics are touching and sharp, and stevie vocals brilliantly unbalanced it, and made it show even more all the deep feelings that contains. I have no idea what's about, many things probably, a personal drama used as a mirror to describe how hypocritical and cannibalistic show business can be.

I was always under the assumption that MIRANDA was about a porn actress...
"Come" was certainly about Ellen's and LB's ex, though... rbs

I immediately thought it was about the Miranda in the Tempest; however, I didn't read his lyrics before, and now I see that reference as unlikely. I *did* think it was odd that Lindsey would make reference to a Shakespeare play.
I used to study lyrics much more carefully when they were printed on LP sleeves.
