Sounds to me like he's talking to himself in the year 2000 (or possibly all of mankind); I don't know when the lyrics were written/conceived. This 2000 man has lost the plot and needs to come back to reality. Why would he lose the plot? Had he not loved the world, or did the world not love him enough? If you lose love you want to leave, so if you feels the world does not love you are likely to want to leave it... reminiscent of depression, drugs, and out-of-mind out-of-reality attempts to discover something beyond the daily grind we so easily find ourselves in. From the age of the singer he could be talking about himself as he matures and tries to get to grips with the world, or possibly a friend or be referring to all friends we've all ever had who've lost the plot and their grip on life. Don't give in 2000 man. |
