So when you think of a peak, you think of a zenith, something that is at its highest state/point. And apparently when you're at your highest state of fulfillment, having a family is what makes you fulfilled, like enjoyyourroots said. Or back in those ancient greek times, Zeus was the god of weather and the sky, so when you think of weather and spring, you think of birth. And since apparently Greece was dry, they prayed to Zeus for rain, and with rain or water, you think of comething being reborn or born, etc.
I pretty much stretched that Ida thing as far as I could to draw a correlation to the song. Make any sense? I really can't think of anything else and I could be totally off!
Also, I feel like the song is saying he wants to get away from everyday life and find new life in his child to have a simpler life, because children's lives are so simple and he misses that. And he is wondering why that seems to be the only way of escape.
I agree with enjoyyourroots... but does anyone know why the song is called "Ida, My"?? just wondering
having children is one way to achieve immortality and hes saying that cant be the only way
having children is one way to achieve immortality and hes saying that cant be the only way
