I ADORE the fact I can actually hear every syllable, interplay, harmonization, voice crack, and shout/whisper on every inch of this album. The vocals make it more than I could ever have hoped for. And I can actually HEAR what they are saying...every word. Stunning. I believe this is a song about the people standing in the way of progress, or maybe their OWN progress. "Look at these funny people making a nice box for themselves...let's put them in it and hope they get bored of their silly new ideas" (These people are "The roots that ruin") "Hide the pretty petals...we're happy with the ugly old tree" (The "Roots" again) But the branch grows...and new petals form and change eventually arises. "So brave, in face of all the roots that ruin" (People are trying to break free) "But the only truth is change, have patience" (Again, change/progress I believe is the theme of the song) But ultimately the song is a hopeless one...as with the "Breath" of new life, it is only a "single breath, and then it is over", and nothing remained changed. That is until... "A murmur from the ruins echoes softly as the roots undo, and the branch becomes..." The roots UNDO...and everything is able to grow free? We'll never know...the song is open ended, just like life. We're all along for the ride. |

Is it just me or, (and please, correct me if I'm wrong) Does Zack actually say in the line about the pill... My job is to kill IT if you forget to take your pill? The IT suggesting the foreman is going to harm her baby, lest she forget to take the birthcontrol pill and avoid getting pregnant? Fadtastic is probably right about the meaning of that line though, and Zack probably kept the 'life' metaphor in mind when writing this lyric. And one more thing, can anyone give me their interpretation of the lines "These are her mountains and skies and she radiates And through historys rivers of blood she regenerates And like tha sun disappears only to reappear" I love these lines more than any in the song, but they're the only ones I don't understand. |
