This is just how i interpret the song personally.. He views life as a ride with no destination and different than the rest of the world, Water/Liquid is what all humans are comprised of, therefore in order to relate to other humans and pull weight in society he must take a drink to conform and be seen as relevant. Uber man refering to ubermensh. a man who disregards religion and societies teachings of morals, and would rather interpret life through his own means. in essence he would be creating a superman that would be enlightened rather than powerful I'm barely a vapor - He was raised to live within the present system of morals and norms in society, but recognizes that he is different than the common man |

my favorite few lines: With burnt sage and a forest of bygones, I click my heels, Get the devils in line, A list of things I could lay the blame on, Might give me a way out, sage = salvia, salvia = tripping... if you've never tripped before in my opinion you dont have the same grasp or appreciation for a sensation that is indescrible by words. So these lines really do blow my mind... this is what i think its saying decoded somewhat. While reminiscing about the past, and regreating mistakes he had made in his life. (his, refering to the lives of people who place their beliefs, morals, and direction in life based on a religion or preexisiting moral system.) He simply wished for "evil" which is personified in the devil, to line up. so he can place blame on someone or something for causing him to be at the point of life that he is in. He must do so because he doesnt have to take responsibility for his own actions or mistakes. Rather, he believes that powers beyond his means of control have forced him down the path. Might give me a way out = living in a reality that he has no control over AND one that beleives he is going to "hell" for his past. |
