John Denver - We Don't Live Here No More Meaning

We Don't Live Here No More Lyrics

Make believe you're on a boat without water around.
Picture yourself at a circus without any clowns.
Pretend that you're on a highway without any end.
Then empty the ashtray, sweep up the floor, put a lock on your door.
If somebody calls in...

   It has always sounded like advocacy for suicide, which is troubling -- clear trappings of extreme depression, followed by glorification of death... Not one I'm find of except when I'm monumentally depressed.

   a young girl aborts her healthy baby and then feels the haunting lonely guilt of what she has done.

   A song about dealing with the grief of death.
   Think about firing in a different way. “Dream of a time when the tides ebbing now rise again. Then you will know that to die is not really to end.”

   Breaking up with partner -- moving out of the relationship and perhaps a home they shared together. Think of other things to get your mind set right to go on with the business of moving out. Empty the ashtray and sweep up the floor, put a lock on the door.. if somebody calls in the morning, just say we don't live her no more. Meaning.. they wont have to deal with any of the fall out of the broken relationship because they are no longer together. Sad song. Beautiful song, though.
