I think he's right, these lines are telling: He's been squandering, he's been squandering (As in potential) We're just wandering, we're just a-wandering like fools (Without aim) But he's a compromise, he's just a compromising fool (Compromising ideals and your values so that you can "just get by") And the stance that we take isn't much to bear Yeah, we leave things to change on their time And our failure to care for it leaves us blind 'til we're tired and we're crazed in the mind This stanza is so obvious. Now he lies on his back, and they tell him it's that It's just a heart attack, it's just a heart attack Too late to return to the ones that you've earned No they don't give it back, no they don't give it back to fools Brings in the theme of mortality and alludes to wasted potential. It could be about a single person, or it could be about generational politics, I lean towards the ladder. |
