Impossible Germany meaning


Recommended Posts

to get a better picture, one might do well to read the poem with the title "Impossible Germany" in Tweedy's Adult Head. i think that is the title. i know a lot of the lines from A Ghost Is Born are in those poems...

i have that book and it does little to give any lyrical clarity.

With no larger problems

They need to be erased

Nothing more important

Than to know

Now I know you'll be listening

 

 

i think its about WWII as someone already said and i kinda get a feeling of hopelessness almost from jeff, impossible-unlikely its like he has no control and those countries are gonna do whatever they want to do and all he can do is give his feelings and opinions even though "You're not listening, oh I know

You're not listening"......but maybe thats way too literal and germany and japan are just metaphors for a larger theme im missing, anythings possible.....except germany of course :music

I feel like it's just something Jeff thought sounded nice.

 

The WWII thing makes sense on a literal level, but I'd be pretty dissapointed if thats what it actually is. That's kind of dumb...

i was being my sarcastic self when i mention the ww II thing. i just found it a bit odd that all that was needed was a mention of italy to re-create the original power trio from teh early 1940's.

yeah the WWII thing is too literal...after reading in through again i think its just a big metaphor for a relationship and how you have to communicate with each other...thats the fundamental problem

 

Thats my thinking. I think the Impossible Germany, Unlikely Japan bit is just saying that it is impossible for them to communicate.
