Shelley and Keats (and Lord Byron from elsewhere in the My Ride's Here album) are English Romantic poets. That kind of supports either interpretation as many Romantics are obsessed with either. One of the things I like about Warren's (and Bruce Springsteen's for that matter since we're speaking of the album where Bruce performs "My Ride's Here") simple metaphorical songs (as opposed to "The Wind" and its intensely personal stories, which I like for other reasons) is that the metaphors are portable. You can apply them to your own life situations and figure out how well they fit for you. Thanks for reading. One of these days, I'll likely split my blog along several lines and have at least one personal, one music, one technical, one cancer, and who knows what else.

I really like this song, if you could, I'd like to get an enterpretation of the entire song, there are just so many little details, and some I just don't get, yet I know they are briliant.
