“Love Minus Zero” does not tell any particular story and seems to make a point of being abstract (what’s all this statues made of matchsticks business about?).

The title is a way of saying “love without limits or boundaries” , about a relationship founded on unconditional love. During this song you could actually imagine for a second that unconditional love actually exists or that there is somebody worthy of being described as “true like ice, like fire”.

The first verse starts with a description of Dylan’s love, and then the lyrics make their way through bus stations, through candle-lit dark rooms, and across bridges long past twilight, only returning occasionally to mention his love as a counterpoint to the strangeness he sees all around him, even as “a raven/at my window with a broken wing”.

She may be vulnerable like all of us, but she’s still the rock Dylan leans on without hesitation or thinking twice.Sweet ? Maybe.. Too sweet ? Don’t think so
