I actually came to the same conclusion, a song somewhat critical of religion in general. I'm surprised no one else has picked that one up. We know something about it doesn't seem right ,but then again something about it is also addicting. |

Religion, maybe? The song can fit with someone who has been religious, or is religious and just wants out but finds themselves unable to tear away. Just throwing that one out there for the sake of adding a different perspective to the mix. ;-) |

I kind of got the same vibe form this song. The upbeat music kind of gives the whole song an ironic vibe (Being about murder and all). |

Actually Sult, according to atomic_punk8 (What he said the band's website explained for the meaning of the song) It is about not setting yourself up as God. Even if he's wrong in denying that the song is pretty heretical, you don't need to be a total dick. While I agree with you, I think that it's unnecessary to get so angry over his interpretation. Also, if K In Yo Mouf wants to replace his s's with z's then what fucking business is it of yours? Sounds like you need to get laid to me. |

A beautiful thought, but unrealistic, people being greedy and power hungry means there will always be war, therefore our nation needs a means of self-defense. Sometimes the only way to achieve peace is through war, I know it sounds like a paradox, but (not counting the civil war) up until Korea/Vietnam, the US had never really attacked without good reason, it was for the most part in self-defense. Although I don't agree with what we did in Iraq, that seemed like a pointless war, I am glad we are moving out of there and putting our focus into Afghanistan. Sometimes war is necessary whether you believe that or not. |

| Bob Dylan – Desolation Row Lyrics

I may be wrong (in fact I'm 90% sure I'm wrong) but I find it fun to try and explore the true meaning of meaning hidden behind artistic lyrics. So here it goes.
I'm going with p money's theory, the meaning is all in the final verse, to try and interpret the previous verses isn't necessarily useless (seeing as they are all stimulating to the imagination) but you would have to know exactly who Dylan has known throughout his life and try and match all those people to the people in this song (more trouble than it's worth)
First off this song was written after his BIG accident (the one that completely turned his life around) which happened on Highway 61 (a pattern emerges). So I see him in the hospital receiving letters from someone (not quite specified in the song whom) and in these letters the writer mentions people that he knows and with his imagination, and somewhat dry, witty sense of humor Dylan creates these elaborate characters from these people that are mentioned.
Desolation - The state of being abandoned or forsaken; loneliness
Loneliness is our key word here
Dylan is comically writing about this great place where he can just be left alone, and doesn't have to deal with people anymore. He dreams of a place where he doesn't have to deal with the imperfections, and problems of the world along with the idiots who live in it.
"Yes, I received your letter yesterday
About the time the door knob broke
When you asked how I was doing
Was that some kind of joke?"
Door knob breaking, a sign that others have stopped visiting (or that he doesn't want anymore visitors)
Obviously the person writing is asking how he's holding up, and he's saying "duh, big accident, I'm pretty banged up right now, life sucks."
Although there is a sense of happiness created by the major key of the guitar in the background, don't let it throw you off, Dylan is expressing anger, and depression in this song (just in his own creative way)
Well this is what I get from the song, if you don't like it, it doesn't matter I said I was probably wrong, Dylan never gave an explanation for the meaning of this song so it's all left to our imaginations.

I believe this song can be interpreted from both perspectives
To fyerfli I don't believe that GuiltyGear meant any harm by what he said (nor did he seem offended) he was just looking at this song from his point of view
I actually believe this song to be a double entendre I just started listening to these guys after a friend turned me on to them, and have found many of their lyrics to be very deep and artistic.
My main point being though that this song can be looked at from both sides, and as a born again christian myself, I look at it from the Jesus/God point of view. However the only person that really knows the true meaning of the song is the artist, so instead of fighting over the meaning we should just enjoy it for what it is, a true materpiece. :) |

I think your breakdown of the entire song has the key to the meaning, but that you are reading way too far into it. I didn't really get it until he says "On a mountain he sits, its not of gold but of sin." In the most basic sense, it's about some vice or sin that is running his life and I believe that the "for a fortune he'd quit" part is not about him receiving a fortune, but instead giving up a fortune to leave it behind. This could either go with the solider theory, as it says "through the blood he can look, see the lives that he took." However this could also refer to something that was hurting those around him, and cutting them off, or "killing" their presence in his life. Very deep though, I like it. |

Not the biggest Creed fan (in fact this is really the only song I like), but this is a very good song, I do think that Creed gets a pretty bad rap though, they're just playing the kind of music they like, and if it makes them money, that's a plus. As much as I hate to say it music has become a business, and it's not about having fun anymore, it's about making money. Being a musician, I only listen to what inspires me, I hate it when people only listen to underground music, and the same to those who only listen to mainstream music. There is inspiration in both categories, but overall pretty good song. |

alright to myhotelyear even though your probably never going to see this, don't be so closed minded, the fiddle part is probably one of the best parts of the whole song, it really does make the song as good as it is, every part put in this song made it what it is, including the rocking fiddle at the end. |

I had believed there was some sorta mention of death in here, as for the Pink Floyd references, I think C&C is heavily influenced, by Floyd, THe beginning of On THe Brink sounds alot like part 1 of Shine On You Crazy Diamond, also You have the song on their last album, The Willing Well IV: The Final Cut, with a very Gilmour like solo in it as well, pretty interesting stuff, also the whole storyline album thing they got going. |

I've never thought about the Blackwater theory before that's pretty interesting, mad props for the exstensive research, but they talked to Fallon in an interview (which I think I found on youtube) asking about the entire album, and it's supposed to be a very very very very very loose story, about the Blast Tyrant in his search for the Worm Drink "who has lately betrayed his nation." Anywho, from what Neil said, the Swollen Goat is actually the Blast Tyrant's ship, in which he uses to seek out Worm Drink, now when I say very loose, it allows a whole lot to the imagination, as to the whole backstory, it's more like a brief summary. As for the Blackwater theory, that, may be some underlying meaning "the governor been long gone anchor dropped on his front lawn" may be a reference to the Blackwater company turning on us for the right amount of money, but who knows. |

The song actually comes from a slew of old advertisements for The Disney corporation called "What's Next?" where thy would ask some football player during the superbowl what he was going to do next, and he would reply "I'm going to Disney Land." after these advertisments the phrase was often used as a joke in entertaiment on t.v. and even in music (ie this song), if theres some deeper meaning I don't know but it's pretty funny. |

I believe that there is a connection with both the clock which is the obvious inspiration for the name of the song, in fact if you listen closely to the beginning Acoustic Guitar part it sounds alot like Big Ben when it goes off, but it seems to me to be about the wear of time on whoever this song is talking about, it talks about the swinging pendulem in the chorus which swings back and forth for every second, pretty deep song if you ask me. |
