I might be wrong, but instead of "All this death must need a counterweight, always someone born again" isn't it "All this death must need a counterweight, OR A SON BORN AGAIN?"

Also the line "Tried to listen to the river, but you couldn't shut your mouth" might just refer to society's tendency to speak rather than listen. A lot like what I'm doing right now, lol. If they listened they would learn more and it would be easier for them to "level out." |
