| The Tallest Man on Earth – The Gardener Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I feel that "And now that death" implies that the runner, spy, and leak are all one entity, which I think is the narrator's conscience. I think the figurative killing(s) can either be viewed as: - the narrator silencing his urges to come clean about the his questionable past - the narrator coming clean about his past I think the line "I find it soothing I'm afraid" supports the first interpretation. Because it seems like he feels guilty in the comfort he gets from the killings. The verb "buried" also points to this interpretation. I guess that the first interpretation makes the most sense when you analyze the lyrics. The one line that makes me think of the second interpretation is "Now there is not need for suspicion". However, I think the lyrics as a whole are more congruent to the first. |
