I don't have a complete idea but i think yours are very close.. i would like if all pieces could fit in something distinctable (that's probably not a word), but i don't know if that was the author's intention - for lyrics to make sense as a whole. "I've got the weight of half of the world (you'd better keep on looking for me) don't stop dragging the lake, don't stop dragging the lake I won't come home if you can't come home even if you make a grave with my name" someone is drown or somehow trapped underwater (otherwise he could not be thinking this) and fears that his people will give up looking for him and accept he's dead... okay maybe that was obvious already "I've seen what you used to look like down here you won't survive" again down here may be bottom of the lake, or if the lake represents reality than i think "down" means lower vibrational levels of matter (like out planet or even level lower like what Christians call hell) btw i think the concept of the album maybe somehow related to Sacred geometry, here's what is said on octahedron: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flower_of_Life#Spherical_octahedron http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flower_of_Life#Metatron.27s_Cube |
