I think this song is about a spiritual awaking. It is when you challenge old beliefs of yourself or others. At the start of the song, 'let me get the words out before I burn' means I am going to challenge you ancient gods. He is literally saying to the gods, there is not truth in what you say. As the song goes on, he is fighting with himself inside philosophically. He is trying to find out just what his spirituality is or what he believes in. Since many are scared to say how they feel in religious or spiritual aspects, this is what he means by 'Silence only eats from the inside out'. He wants to share with the world his beliefs without being ridiculed or chastised by society or family. 'Send you lifeboats for me' for me means he wants to be accepted and loved no matter what he believes in. From the lyrics to this song, I think the singer takes a more scientific few on life than spiritual. Anyway, just my take...but no matter what he means..it is a lovely song. |
