to me...it seems like someone who has been down on their luck for some time, they've been traveling through a dark tunnel in their life so to speak. this kid finally gets a break and things start to look up for him, everything is falling into place after all his pain and suffering. he finally sees the light at the end of the tunnel. so excited is he that he "pay no mind to the distant thunder". the thunder ultimatley being the sound of the frieght train coming at him. by the time he realizes he is getting screwed again it is to late...the break he thought he had was his ruin. this is my favorite song as it perfeclty describes my life. every time i think i see something good about to happen i crash and burn...
