No Direction Home (2005)
Origine: No Direction Home: Bob Dylan
Contesto: I had ambitions to set out and find, like an odyssey or going home somewhere… set out to find… this home that I’d left a while back and couldn’t remember exactly where it was, but I was on my way there. And encountering what I encountered on the way was how I envisioned it all. I didn’t really have any ambition at all. I was born very far from where I’m supposed to be, and so, I’m on my way home, you know?
“Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine.”

“Look at the sun sinkin' like a ship. Ain't that just like my heart, babe. When you kissed my lips?”
Song lyrics, Another Side of Bob Dylan (1964), It Ain't Me Babe
Contesto: Go away from my window,
Leave at your own chosen speed,
I'm not the one you want, babe,
I'm not the one you need.
You say you're looking for someone,
Who's never weak but always strong,
To protect you and defend you,
Whether you are right or wrong,
Someone to open each and every door,
But it ain't me, babe,
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe,
It ain't me you're looking for, babe.
“Don't ask me nothin' about nothin'. I just might tell you the truth.”
Song lyrics, Bringing It All Back Home (1965), Outlaw Blues
Song lyrics, Highway 61 Revisited (1965), Positively 4th Street
Origine: Lyrics, 1962-1985
