another addition to what you guys have so far is when he says "I will never fly again/ i will hang up my wings" its showing how daedalus was so heartbroken that he cant even fly anymore. In the extended metaphor where flying is being in relation to the gods (and flying too high is attempting to be godly yourself like icarus), he is doing what a lot of grief stricken people do- blaming god and turning back to earthly things. I get chills every time i hear that line |

i always kinda thought of the song as coming from the pov of an iraqi civilian but i do like the idea of WWII jingoism as well. Either way the actual war that it involved/s is not as important as the general idea of the song because it is relevant today. I think its about someone who is directly effected by a war with bombs dropping on their roof and so on. And they feel a lot of fear, naturally, for themselves and their family. the song is about their struggle to conquer the overwhelming desire to begin to despise and blindly hate the other side of the conflict because they are aware that that way of thinking is what the terrorists are thinking. they dont want to become the terrorist! so there is this powerful inner conflict that is happening basically. what is terrorism? spreading TERROR Why has it been so successful recently? because the "terror turns to hate!" and hate is unproductive and blinding. it is what terrorism is all about! i know i was sort of rambling but i think you can see my idea. other people were poking at it above |

| I think this song is meant to be open ended in the sense that it has a lot of meanings that many different people can relate to. Thats why its such a powerful song to so many people and its the kind of song that you can enjoy in whatever mood your in cause its also incredibly musical as well. To me its about being yourself especially in situations when its hard to do that like when pursuing women (or men) over lust and for all the wrong reasons. | |
