I think this song is about suffering and how we go about dealing with it. It seems that there is a reason behind his suffering, which is most likely one of repetitiveness, because he compares it to Sisyphus who was a king punished in the Tartarus by being cursed to roll a huge boulder up a hill, only to watch it roll down again, and repeat this throughout eternity. Steadily we climb again ( Makes me sick. Think to hard on the other side. ) Step into a hidden room ( Can't stare too long at the softest light ) Searchin' for another out ( Old wounds get infected by the ) Found a tunnel heading down ( Heat of an oven gone cold too long ) Suddenly I hear the sound ( Get my mind off the pain with the medicine ) Coming from behind the wall ( Just the idea of a thought brings it round again ) Suddenly a light appears ( Get my mind off the pain. Off the pain. ) Rapidly some something nears... ( Get my mind off the pain. Off the pain. ) He describes Sisyphus going up and down the hill and looking for a tunnel or a way out. At the same time he describes how he tries to get away from his suffering. |
