Tangled up in who?

As a forewarning, i absolutely cherish Dylan in all that he is. So i am fairly biased on the subject. Tangled up in blue is one of Dylan's most popular songs (behind Mr. Tamborine Man and Blowin in the wind that is.) It is a song about a lover that he is away from and thinking about. It is also a song about a muse. This woman is one of the many muses that are frequent in Dylan's work. This particular song may be about Sara- his first wife. Though, that is a slight stretch as Sara was not married when she and Dylan met and her hair was coal black. It is not uncommon for the speaker of the poem/song to warble to a very real person in Dylan's work. He commonly changed faces names and situations. If you asked him why i am sure he would tell you "what do you mean why? why do you do the things you do?" Anyway the content of the poem is very easy to understand after reading it a few times through. First paragraph is describing the speaker laying in bed thinking about his muse. The second stanza is about the lovers goodbye. In the third stanza the speaker is talking about his life after the goodbye. The fourth and fifth about seeing her again and the sixth is about his brief stint with her and her lover/husband? The turn occurs at the bottom of the sixth stanza where he leaves her again and the seventh stanza is a depiction of his wandering life in search of her. This poem rhymes i promise. You have to hear it to be convinced i am sure. It mainly has internal rhyme when you read it because he sings it in a very different cadence (one that would break lines awkwardly and make the poem super long.) Many symbols are present in this poem that appear in much of his work. Shoes are a huge symbol for Dylan. Birds are also very frequent, as is the color blue. Shoes in this poem symbolize the walks of life the speaker has been through and yet he never forgets this one woman. "I was standing on the side of the road rain fallin on my shoes" is a classic dylan quote in that it mingles sadness with a necessity to "keep on keepin on." This song in the first song on his album Blood on the Tracks which he produced not even a month after he and Sara were divorced. Reexamine the last stanza. Think about a speaker who is pissed about a failed marriage not because of what people think but because he loves and hates this woman so vehemently. The last stanza of this poem is more about the loving her. Look up another song called Idiot wind from the same album and i think you may understand the vehement hatred.
