let me slip away
I won't be home tonight I'll just slip out
of sight

WHO is Magic one? The way it's written, it's the same person that has newborn eyes, right? Unless he's mixing his tenses

So either he's talking to Will, or he's doing something we know, based on Destiny Rules doc., that he would never do.

Or...maybe he just likes the sound of Magic One. I don't know if Bob Dylan would approve, or not, but what does Lindsey care? He does what he wants to do.

But maybe it's not that deep. Obviously he was arguing with Kristen about something. Something that happened around the time of Will's birth. So, I think Magic One is his weed pipe. The argument was about his smoking. She wanted him to give it up, and so he decided to cast it away into the waste basket. But not before slipping out of sight for one last toke.

wait wasn't CAD written during SYW tour? that would be the time of his youngest child birth (not that it matters).

in what other songs does he mention "magic one"? in relation to?

when i re-read the lyrics and listened to that interview clip that Deeshere posted i started thinking the same thing - he says in all these interviews and intros he was having fight with and then talking to Kristen the next morning after he played her the song that he wrote for her, so why are we taking his words as he's talking to someone else? isn't she the one he has a home with? and isn't she the one who had a newborn baby, at that very home at that time? that he will not come back to that night, but he will be back after he finishes mourning his cast away dreams?

(i don't think a person he's talking to is a newborn / has newborn eyes, i think person he's talking to is looking in the eyes of their newborn.)

lolol - love it Lindsfan! that must be it!! magic one is his weed pipe, taking him to magical places, while neglecting his home life.
