What is the meaning behind the Paul Simon song "The Boy in the Bubble" (Graceland) ?
Ive always loved this song and indeed the whole "Graceland" album, probably one of my favourite albums ever. But what is the true meaning of this song ? What is it really about ?
For me, the key line has always been 'these are the days of miracles and wonders...so don't cry baby don't cry' and the talk about businesses and generations throwing 'stars off the pop charts'. I'm not sure about the rest of the lyric, but I've always taken this bit of the song to mean that in the modern age man is too willing to submit to living in a 'plastic bubble', being too involved with shallow things in life and unaware of what is going on in the world around him and his own life.
The rest of the 'graceland' album is all about mixing african and american music and cultures together, so it might be that Paul Simon is telling us here to escape the bubble and start thinking about cultures and backgrounds other than our own. Either that or he's just having fun with nonsense words (I doubt the line 'the bubble and the baby with the babbon heart' is meant to be serious somehow!!) I love this song too - its always been my favourite track off that LP!!
