elton john's levon stumps me..im great at figuring out songs and their meanings yet this song takes the cake.....also...are cartoon balloons a drug reference....
What the hell is the song "levon" about ?
The song describes a family living with mental illness.[citation needed] The opening line is the first clue to Taupin's riddle. "Levon wears his war wound like a crown" refers to being used as a "pawn" in warfare, and receiving a head injury.[citation needed] His son, irreverently named "Jesus" who was born on Christmas Day,[citation needed] is growing apart from his father, who seems to fixate on religious and status symbols.[citation needed] The song's refrain, "He shall be Levon", contains a subtle pun which John's phrasing alternately obscures and punctuates: "He shall believe on." [3]
Reply:I thought he was jealous of the Band, and called out Levon Helm.
