its great how he uses the "houses" from three little pigs and hansel and gretel in this song! "The horror is in our hands The hands that hold our hearts down" --- What we really fear is holding us back... but our fears are within ourselves?! |

I can't agree with that unfortunately. I think the 1st and 2nd verse describe an abusive (and drunk? "fall in your christmas tree") father who goes mostly un-noticed because of the so-called ideal found in the nuclear suburban family. I think the song is talking about control, which a lot of the songs on the CD talk about. I think the CD itself is about a lot of the "dark" forces that are out there that control people and keep them in fear... whether its the comfort found in the successful suburban lifestyle, ghosts, disease, conspiracy paranoia, etc. A ghost literally is something you can't see but that invokes fear and in a way controls you, much like the many of the systems and guidelines throughout the world that we (knowingly/unknowingly) subscribe to. I think the song is about the abuse towards the girl who ends up in a wheelchair but by the end it reveals the deeper meaning... how does this conformity of lifestyle (so-called "average" families) keep us all in line for some greater, darker purpose? The house has you in its grasp. You may move the furniture around, but that is your great "change" in life. (Or is it the "ghosts" moving the furniture?) Then you change the thermostat to meet your changes in temperature, to remain comfortable literally and figuratively. Also the title gives a lot away... "At the Other End of the Leash" ... Most people think about the dog attached to the leash... but what is at the other end... the master. I realize my description is very abstract but I think a lot of this CD is. I think the thesis of the CD is the final lyric of the final song ... "Let's cast a mirror right back at fear / let's show this world that we were here" ... The CD, although very dark sounding, is really about triumphing over the control, in your own special way. |
