the song is definately not about breaking up with somebody, let alone getting over somebody. its merely about not taking in the present and only having memories to fall back on. "there's a secret magic past world that you only notice when you're looking back at it " this line says it all --- you dont think about the things when they happened, but rather by having to look back at them. by doing so (thinking about them at a later time) you see their true beauty. "because I couldn't let go when the water hit the setting sun " he doesn't want to let go of what is happening at that moment, knowing all he'll have left to do is remember it. "there's a secret place that I know where I could dig a grave and climb underground for good" he's regretting not capturing present time for what its worth. |

i think that the song is about somebody who's made one too many bad decisions in life. in this case, rocky is trying to take him out of whatever mess the guy has gotten himself into. "I don't want to have to bury you like this something's gotta get your attention if I have to crack open your skull with my fist I'll let the light and the sound escape" "bury you like this" meaning he doesn't want to have to see this guy go the way he is, and the rest of the verse is self explanitory --- getting his attention to help him get out. and what finally does it from my p.o.v. is "the only thing you can't afford is to keep buying the lines you're fed" this verse is talking about the guy being broke all the time and there's why --- he's doing lines. "the demons of regret are making your deathbed" that is pretty powerful in itself, stating that this guy has so much guilt and regret in his life that its literally killing him. all in all -- the "light and sound" is the guy coming out of his mess --- or so i think? |
