This song relates to a theme reoccuring througout literature, as evidenced by its inclusion in Shakespeare's Macbeth. The theme is the idea that "ambition becomes the demise of its holder." As children we all have innocent goals which we reach through our ambition to be admired by our social peers, i.e. riding our bike with no handlebars." As we age our goals lose their innocence just as we lose our childhood innocence through exposure to the real world. often time our goals and ambition to accomplish the goals has unforseen consequence not only on ourselves but those around, even the entirity of humanity depending on the goal. This is evidenced by this rise of Nazi regime led by Adolph Hitler. Adolph Hitler's goal was to create a utopian society for the arien race. His ambition to reach this goal casued many horrific tragedies and the loss of millions of lives, thus his ambition became his demise. |
