VS 1 God is looking down on earth and seeing how wrong things are...nobody listens to him. God is sad, he is crying. He is saying He told them so. He is telling the people of the world to listen to Him.
Go forward to an example of a man who is struggling..
VS 2 This man is sad about what this world has come to. He daydreams about when he was younger and when things were more innocent.
VS 3 He is a complicated quiet person...very deep. LIfe is still disappointing him. There is this woman he longs for but isn't with. He dreams about her and thinks if he had her heart he would fill his own and he would be happy.
VS 4 This is were it's kind of tricky. It sounds to me like he is about to kill himself. If somebody sees something to live for..speak up now. I'm not sure about the whole open up these graves part. Maybe the people who died before him to give him advice or the secret of what to do with this life he is so disappointed in. I think he finally kills himself.
The whole song he is asking why. Why am I so unhappy and nobody ever gives him an explanation. They say nothing back. Even in death he doesn't have a satifactory answer. Kind of like when you were a kid and you ask you my mom why and she answers "Because I told you so." It wasn't really the answer you were looking for. You wanted something more concrete. I am going to make a giant leap and go back to the first verse. This man was always so sad but he didn't ask God for help. He asked time, love and death. Maybe if he asked God, He would have given him the answers he was seeking.
I really, really like this song. It never fails to get me to think. I will probably change my mind about what it means because I am most likely completely wrong!
