EDIT: What are YOUR interpretations of Tripoli? I'd like to hear some different views on what it means.

What on earth do you mean "explain it to you"... it's art - we've all to find out own meaning in it...

 

edit: as always, I'm one step behind Dan the penguin...

Does music and song need to have a reason behind it?

 

Look at Yellow Ledbetter and I Got ID by Pearl Jam, clearly those have some meaning, but what?

 

Music is art, and you take art personal, and draw your own conclusions about it

If i were ever to be a writer of any sort, i wouldn't give a shit what people thought my work meant. IMO You should only write for one person.

With that in mind, i don't have an interpretation of the song besides my own idea as to what Matt meant when he wrote it (which i think is similar to your original question.) And i'm not going to swap stories about what someone else was feeling/thinking.

It's a pretty simple question, at least after the edit. What does it mean to you?

I think it's about losing someone, and then going crazy over it.

 

But I don't know why it's called Tripoli? Being a geography major, I know that as the capital of Libya...

I think if anything its more of a talk talk reference:

Hey love, look into your glovebox heart.

What is there for me inside? This love is tired.

I've changed the locks. Have I misplaced you?

Have we lost our minds?

Seeing as it was the first song he wrote after throat surgery, I think it's about him dealing with that whole ordeal, no voice and whatnot "best to stay sleeping, in awhile I will awake to be a hasbeen".

At least that's what I got out of it.

there are countless tripolis all over the world, but we all know it's the capital of libya because we've all read the book.

 

but i don't know/care why the song has that title
