Allegorical...poetry....set to music. Drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry...levees are built to hold back floodwaters...after the music died...no more flood of music...the levee was dry....the theme of the whole song.i.e the death of huge amounts of great music ( at least in his mind).
They dont write...or utter songs about great themes nowadays in general..it is all about ones own personal happiness...for solipsistic soporific chemically altered brain dead kids of today.
Freegards.
