Musician, with their music, inspire the people who truly understands the lyrics (case in point: this very debate). And since Dylan chose a man playing the tambourine as the title/"inspirator", it is safe to assume that he is making a statement about his art. Whereas the clown follows the shadow, the speaker follows the Tambourine Man because he is the real deal. Much like Keat's "Ode to a Nightingale", this song is about getting inspiration (ie being able to achieve enlightenment). Just because the speaker in the lyrics is in another realm does not mean he got there due to drugs. For those of you who thinks this song is about drugs, pray tell, where are the drug references? what drug is "Mr. Dylan beautiful lyrics, the true meaning of the song has been lost on you. General CommentDudes you have it totally wrong. It's just a shadow you're seeing that he's chasingĪnd take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mindįar from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow Though you might hear laughing, spinning, swinging madly across the sunĪnd but for the sky there are no fences facingĪnd if you hear vague traces of skipping reels of rhyme I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fadeĬast your dancing spell my way, I promise to go under it
Wait only for my boot heels to be wandering Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feetĪnd the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming Left me blindly here to stand, but still not sleeping Though I know that evening's empire has returned into sand In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
