Okay let me take a crack at this. To me this is about nuclear warfare.It's also ironic that the next song is called hero of the soviet union. Though there's probably no link even I am even correct. (She moves abstract just Like a shadow dancing on the edge Like a storm cloud passing overhead Effort-less and free) Describing a nuclear missile cruising through the sky (As the hours rush by Through her I can sense the end of time There’s no way this can forever shine Make the sun not rise) this particular segment directly alludes to the apocalypse.A nuclear weapon destroying the world,the sun never rises again,the end of time. (In the air we tried to be But you shot your arrow through me Now one of us must die But the killer won’t survive) In the air we tried to be, referring to the two conflicting sides and their attempt to make peace.Or perhaps the nuclear missile is actually triggered to fire due to a false flag radar detection of a plane or something. "in the air we tried to be,but you shot your arrow through me" Then we go to,"now one of us must die,but the killer won't survive" in essence "both of us will die" you killed me and I am retaliating in a way that will kill both of us. Makes perfect sense with the nuclear theory when I think of something a while back I read in a book about the cold war. Russia had a system called "dead hand",where if there were radar detections of a foreign nuke and no living being responded to it within a certain amount of time,the system would fire every single nuke in the Soviet's arsenal at all 4 corners of the earth,destroying everything. A kind of "if we don't win no one does" attitude. I don't know just a shot. I know I'm probably way off. |
