"Some people never will go crazy
What horrible lives they must lead"
That's a Bukowski quote, in case anyone was interested. |

| Poison the Well – The First Day Of My Second Life Lyrics
| 18 years ago

The way I interpret this song is some sort of destructive tragedy taking place, such as a house burning down, and starting life over again. Seeing that "shambles" generally refer to a site of destruction, I picture something along the lines of Jeff or someone close to him digging through a wreckage of a house or something that they will "build back up". I think whoever the other person is, probably isn't someone that he normally shows affection to, hence the "We won't pull away when one wants to show affection" line. (maybe his father) Both of them are "Overwhelmed by emotion" and crying on each others shoulders, while Jeff struggles to think of things to say to make him stop. Despite the huge wreck, theres an underlying sense of hope, especially when he says "overwhelmed by the feeling that everything will be okay"
haha I don't think it means they're packing up and leaving, at least I hope it doesn't. I think seeing that he says this after all of that noise and after the instruments stop, It could be him reflecting back on the tragedy, basically saying it came out of nowhere, and whatever this was, he could have prevented it, but instead he just "let it in", and let his life change. But that parts a bit of a stretch, I'd like to hear if anyone else had any better interpretations. |

| Poison the Well – Nagaina Lyrics

Now that I really think about it, I think maybe the song is about the feeling of regret and remorse a person feels after abandoning there children and using the rikki tiki tavi story to describe it, saying that he's a snake and that he let his children go. In the story, the snake Nagaina, leaves her eggs in her nest to go and kill a family, while rikki goes into the nest and destroys them. The line "Our lives are swamps" continues with the whole snake metaphor, seeing that snakes live in swamps. The swamps symbolize how the persons life is who abandoned there child, very dark and depressing, and they want to "just get rid of it all". Also, the "shroud prison" could also be describing describing the persons living conditions, seeing that shroud means to conceal something, the home could be the persons own personal prison, concealing there "Big secret". But yeah, just a rough interpretation, I could be completely wrong. |

I agree with the christian mythology thing, I thought I should point out that Nagaina is the name of the female cobra in "Rikki-Tikki Tavi" |
