The "Gold Rush" is on and I'm leaving you Mom, the Caissons (that is the correct spelling) are rolling along He is in the Army and leaving for a deployment. The Caissons are rolling along refers to the U.S. Army Song, "The Army Goes Rolling Along The part about his sister.... Hmmm I take it as, he is telling his mom that he is about to leave for this deployment/War and she is just complaining about his sister's life choices, and he is like, "Okay I'll pass judgment on her (sarcastically) as soon as I get through all my problems/current situation" Good Friends are wishing... Husbands and wives... Again solidifies the, military predeployment hypothesis. Friends saying good by, good luck. And spouses tring to get that one last hug before the plane takes off.. I drank till I was un able to stand - I think this is litteral. The sickle the noose and the firebrand, I think the sickle represents death (it is commonly mistaken for the scythe which the Grimm Reaper holds) The noose represents self destruction and the firebrand represents the Agitator. These are all the images conjured up while drunk. The thought/fear that Death could be waiting at this next deployment. The thought that I volunteered for this ... and now I could die (suicide?) and now in his drunken state the "firebrand" maybe asking why the hell are we going to fight. You were my Trumpeter Swan - This part eludes me... Symbol of fidelity? Beauty? |
