Drop your location, she think she me or sum’ (Hendrix)

[Verse 1]
You said, “Speak from your mind
The words that it finds
Come out of your soul, a part of the whole”
You said, “What does it change?
Both of us know
After tonight, there …

Maria…
The most beautiful sound I’ve ever heard:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria…
All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria…
Maria, Maria…
Maria!
I’ve just met a girl named Maria
And …
[Verse 1]
What happens in dreams where we fly?
Never been as high as tonight
Staring through a window in time
For someone to show me what I’m like
He said, “Hello”, it’s like a …
[Verse 1]
Oh-oh-oh, every little smile hides a little lie
Could cut the silence with a knife
Subatomic bliss is nothing left to miss
It’s just empty Russian roulette

This is a song about somebody else
So don’t worry yourself, worry yourself1
The devil’s right there right there in the details2
And you don’t wanna hurt yourself, hurt yourself3
Looking too closely
Looking too closely
No no no no!4
Put your arms around somebody else5
Don’t punish yourself, punish yourself6
Truth is like blood underneath your fingernails7
And you don’t wanna hurt yourself, hurt yourself
Looking too closely
Looking too closely
No no no no!
No no no no!
You don’t wanna hurt yourself, hurt yourself
You don’t wanna hurt yourself, hurt yourself
No no no no!
I could be wrong ’bout anybody else
So don’t kid yourself, kid yourself
It’s you right there, right there in the mirror8
And you don’t wanna hurt yourself, hurt yourself
Looking too closely
Looking too closely
Yeaaah
Looking too closely
You don’t wanna hurt yourself
You don’t wanna hurt yourself, hurt yourself
Looking too close
Fink sings about somebody living in denial, especially someone who has a cheating lover.
If this person wanted, he or she could easily discover whether the partner is cheating.
However, he or she refuses to discover whether the partner is cheating in an effort to maintain surface-level happiness and avoid being traumatized.
Fink explores the mentality of those whose partner is cheating: don’t examine the details too closely or you might get hurt.
In other words, take refuge in another person.
Don’t blame yourself if your partner is having an affair.
Discovering the truth is painful. Being in denial at least maintains some level of satisfaction.
Again, the message Fink sends in this song is that the mentality of those who are in denial about a cheating partner is to maintain surface-level happiness and avoid the truth.

We dont want to get too close to what can be hurtful. The devil is looking at the details and we dont wanna hurt ourselves. We just dont wanna look to close at the potential things but to look closer at life and more eternal things.

Don’t stare at yourself in the mirror and decide you are defective, or engage in thinking about your every detail and imperfection instead of yourself as a whole person. “Put your arms around someone else” so you are thinking of them, being with them, and not looking inward. (Other-centered instead of self-centered.) You can experience someone and be reassured it’s probably the the way people experience you – without a magnifying glass seeking faults.
