Who do you carry that torch for, my young man? Do you believe in anything? Or do you carry it around just to burn things down? ( It means like what do you believe in? Are you careless and just "carry the torch to burn things down" or do you believe in what you carry the torch for.) Meet me tonight on the turnpike my darling, where we believe in everything. If we sweat all these debts then we're sure to drown, so let's strap ourselves up to this engine now with our God who we found laying under the back seat. ( Hes saying that the girl needs to be carefree and come with him on a journey. The "God" that they found under the backseat might be a map or atlas. He describes it as God because it is what they are following tonight. They are following "Gods" rules.) What did you learn tonight? while shouting so loud, you barely joyous, broken thing. You are a voice that never sings, is what i say. You are freezing over hell You are bringing on that end you do so well and you can only blame yourself, is what is say. ( Hes describing a certain girl. Hes saying that the girl is so beautiful but she never shows it. Maybe she's ruining her life and she only has to self to blame for it? [Bringing on that end…]) Oh, order your daughters to ignore me think that will sort me? and sweep me under the rug? while you're beating with a book everyone that book tells you to love. ( Hes saying that he knows she's going to tell all of her friends to hate him and ignore him. But hes asking her what is that going to do, for you and me? I think the book line is a reference to the Bible and hes saying that you are beating down everyone that doesn’t believe or is going against the Bible with the Bible, which tells you to love everyone.) There is an ember in the heart of this kiln and it's burning hot with love. Burning out my center till there's nothing but dust then rolling me with care into your cigarette cause the God i believe in never worked on a campaign trail. ( Hes saying that obviously there is still a burning desire for this girl in his heart and that all she's going to do it smoke him away and forget about him and that’s not what he wants. Then he says that the God he believes in is the churches definition of God not someone that she admires or and idol that she has) What did you learn tonight? You're shouting so loud, you barely joyous, broken thing. You're a voice that never sings, is what i say. You are freezing over hell. You are bringing on the end you've read about and you can only blame yourself, is what i say. ( Hes describing a certain girl. Hes saying that the girl is so beautiful but she never shows it. Maybe she's ruining her life and she only has to self to blame for it? [Bringing on that end…]) Who do you carry that torch for, my young man? Do you believe in anything, or do you carry it around just to burn things to the ground? ( It means like what do you believe in? Are you careless and just "carry the torch to burn things down" or do you believe in what you carry the torch for.) |
