Oh, and as far as we could figure out, the animals are representations of memories in the singers (Charles Furney) mind. They prey on him and influence how he acts in life, and in the end when he realizes that nothing can ever be perfect, he has to give the whale back to his memories in order to find peace again. Maybe all of this is a little far fetched, but this is just my take on it. |

Me and a friend had a very long conversation about the meanings to all of these songs, and the nearest we could figure is that the entire album is about the start and end of a relationship, with the culmination of 'Great White Whale' being the final realization that nothing can ever be perfect, and that you destroy yourself in trying to obtain the the Great White Whale (white being pristine, the unattainable goal, in Moby Dick the white whale was the unattainable goal of Captain Ahab, and in this cd the Whale represents the perfect love, something which doesn't really exist, and is destroyed when one tries too hard to find it or to make someone into something perfect.) |
