I was lying awake last night and suddenly thought that "spit in the face of the tried and true one" could mean the victim getting revenge on the "tried and true" criminal, as in catching them and seeing justice. But still, no idea if this is even close :) |

This may sound particularly far flung, but it could be about rape/some other sort of abuse? The "rocket" in the park could be a violent, important event: "I send it off to be examined by a scientific team on the moon" - "it" could be referring to an object involved in the incident or the victim? "On the moon" - a place far away that the victim sees as strange and isolating. "I organize a council" - to find the criminal? "Where the prize goes unannounced" - the prize doesn't have to be verbalised, they're just trying to find the man. "Until there's in the trees a city" - some sort of trap to catch him? "We left it pretty long ago" - a long time ago the place was just a pretty place with some leaves, in the park, now it is the scene of a horrific crime. The chorus is from the perspective of the victim whose mind is "cracked and breaking". The "tasting" is alluding to the rape/abuse - "its reccomended as great for tasting". "Spit in the face of the tried and true one" - again alluding to the abuse. Since the victim has been abused, they grow up to reflect this - "these are things that I'm gonna do." As in, the victim will grow up to abuse someone else, or they think that they will. "My cave" and "Other people far below" - the victim feels isolated. "I've heard of them, they think they know" - No-one really understands the victim's complicated feelings, or maybe no-one actually knows what happened? Thats why its "against the law" to talk about it. "I make no friends, I've got no spark" - the victim feels ruined after the abuse, and is unable to interact socially. "In my defence, I take apart what's put together easily" - the victims only strength and talent lies in destruction, further showing that when they grow up they will become the abuser ("these are things that I'm gonna do"). "This is all true, I'll make it be" - again, no-one knows about the event, they are trying to convince someone? Anyways, this is just an idea ;) |
