Letra y Significado de All Along The Watchtower, Bob Dylan


anonimo opina:

Se rumorea que el título está basado en la novela de Mary Shelley «Frankenstein», un clásico de terror por excelencia. Los textos de Bob Dylan están en la mayoría de los casos salpicados de aforismos, por lo que la conexión es fácil de imaginar.

Sin embargo, más tarde revela las influencias bíblicas de la canción con referencias al Antiguo Testamento. El viento aúlla en el desierto y anuncia la caída de Babilonia.

"there must be some way out of here," said the joker to the thief,
"there's too much confusion, i can't get no relief.
businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth,
none of them along the line know what any of it is worth."
"no reason to get excited," the thief, he kindly spoke,
"there are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke.
but you and i, we've been through that, and this is not our fate,
so let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late."
All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
while all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.
Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl,
two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.
