Review about Friend is a Four Letter Word he he he | Reviewer: Cheesy | 3/4/09 I don't mean this to be rude, or mean, as I LOVE Cake, and John McCrea is one of the best lyracists I have ever listened to. This song is written so ambiguously that it can be interpreted any which way one chooses. McCrea does an excellent job wording his propositions in just the right way so that anyone can relate, regardless of their circumstances. For example, there are countless four letter words in the english dictionary, including love, hate, kill, life, gone, and (of course) f@$k. "end is the only part...that I heard" He doesn't specify whether "end" is the only part of the four letter word, or is the only part of the word friend. You must jump to that conclusion on your own :) The end could be interpreted as follows: Call it the end of a romatic relationship (possibly but not certainly leading into the beginning of a friendship), or call it the end of a friendship (possibly but not certainly leading into the beginning of a romantic relationship), "morbid or absurd" simply states that he disagrees with his companions conclusion, and his companion disagrees with him enough to call him "morbid or absurd". "The words you'll soon be saying might betray the way you feel about me" No matter what the context, he is simply hoping that she will change her mind, and he is "fishing" for any words which might help her reconsidder. The thing I love most about this song is regardless of how much meaning it holds for me on a personal level, technically it is a type of infinite regress, and means absolutely nothing without your own personal interpretation! (So we can get a taste of what kind of movies have influenced your personal values based on your various interpretations) Neat! McCrea is the man! --Never forget the possability that life (and this song) may have no meaning whatsoever! not the opposite? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/25/09 Absolutely not. There's no way this is about him only liking her as a friend. "when I go fishing for the words i am wishing you would say to me, i'm really only praying that the words you'll soon be saying might betray the way you feel about me." I can only think that he means he's hoping that someday she'll admit to him that she feels like he does about her. He loves her. That's what he's getting at with the other two parts. To him, whenever she refers to him as a friend he thinks of it as "love" rather than only as "friend". He realizes this but hates it. "end is the only part of the word that I heard" These lines show what he's really thinking. He believes he can never win her over as more than a friend if she only thinks of him in the sense of friendship. This, like any guy, angers, confuses, and saddens him greatly. I suppose that it could go either way, but that's the beauty of this song. It can be interpreted in so many ways. the opposite. | Reviewer: ash | 2/21/09 I think it's about a friend of his (obviously). And he only thinks of her as a friend, and they may flirt and mess around, but he still only views her as a friend. But she views it as more, and is falling love. Because her feelings are stronger, he feels that he needs to end it and walk away. "when I go fishing for the words i am wishing you would say to me, i'm really only praying that the words you'll soon be saying might betray the way you feel about me." He's hoping she'll revert back to having only friendly feelings for him. He wants to be friends, but in the end he knows it's not possible because she's in love with him. Four letter word | Reviewer: Curses | 9/5/08 Four letter word refers to a "bad" word, a curse word. Like "I don't love you but we can still be friends." "COMING FROM YOU" friend is a four letter. NOTICE THE "COMING FROM YOU" he isn't being literal when he says its a 4 letter word. thoughts | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/27/08 i dont think that this song has to do with the "iend" thing that everyone thinks. i think teh word is love because in all poetry and writing the word described as a little 4 letter word is love. i agree with one of the reviews that there is a "friend" of the opposite sex that he fell in love wih. and so when they say they are friends he is saying he actually loves her. The end part of it has to do with that she doesnt feel the same about him and because of it, thats the end. If it was "iend" then the name of the song would be Friend is a Three letter word, not four Happy and confused | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/21/08 I love this song, it has to be one of the best by Cake. I am also happy now that everyone else is just as confused as I am about what it means. I kept asking myself "why don't I get it?" Well, after reading all of these responses, I don't get it anymore than before so that is OK and that is still one cool song. Not my friend | Reviewer: charlotte | 2/10/08 I understand this as the imposibility of having real real good friends of the opposite sex, because you're always kind of fall in love with them or at least having a one night stand with them. So for me friend=love, and it s the end of the friendship... iend, love, and hate | Reviewer: Alpha Arya | 2/11/08 I think it means that it's the end of the relationship but he still loves her. It also might be saying that she hates him and wants it to iend. It can also be calling him a curse word. I think it's everything tied together. Hello my name is Dora | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/15/08 me and the love of my life are done and he has a my space page with this in it, I love him to death but he is done with me,he is kind of back with the ex (and messing around on the side)so..this might be to her ...but I pray that is for me cause that way I can go on feeling a lil better knowing he still loves me...cause to me it means ...wait its not about love ...its about friendship ...fk that shit lol...he is done with me either way lol...friends is a four letter word...DORA dual meaning? | Reviewer: hm | 12/28/07 to me i think its possible that this song is meant to fit whatever meaning to listener had in mind... for me the four letter word was love simply because i have had the friend relationships where i really cared for the other person and they only wanted a friendship. i think it also means the four letter word as in a curse word simpy because if you are in love with a person and hearing friend from them hurts worse than any curse word could Review By Pages: 1 2 3 Review the song Friend is a Four Letter Word The area is only for review, if you want to submit the lyrics or the corrections of the lyrics, please click the link at the end of the lyrics.
