While I'm sure this song can be interpreted in more way than one it seems obvious to me that it's about feeling trapped in a mundane life. "We dug these holes we crawled into now they're my home". We set our surroundings and settled in. "We can't feel the wind or rain" We don't feel change or excitement. "Is this the way my life has got to be? Have I a single opportunity?" Do I have any chance to change how things have become? "Look at me is this the way I'll always be?" Am I doomed to just live my casual repetitive life? Oh no. "And all at once I feel this, oh how it clings to me it reels and calls me towards it, confounding destiny". There's got to be more to life than this. Something inside me drives me to be more than just your average person. "And I can feel the madness inch by inch the more I run the more I am convinced a color all these like the branches glimpse. Just like the saddle in the foggy mist." The more I believe there's more to me the stronger I feel about it; the more truth in my urges I find. Wanting to escape despite knowing not where to go or how. "Now I pray that somebody will quickly come and kidnap me. Everyday I lie awake and pray to god today's the day. Here I am oh when will someone understand?" I can't find a way out, I need a higher power, someone different/unique to come and save me from the prison I made for myself. |

Seems people missed a couple lines entirely part way into the song So why do you go picking fights that you'll lose? (When you have entertainment, when you have things to pass the time) So why do you go thinking thoughts that are above you? (You can be happy just play dumb, you can be happy just play dumb) Well I was brave, and unique, intelligent, A snowflake; I could have been a hero No-one can be trusted under the age of fourteen Tattoo our arms, Converse shoes Cynical, But we still do it We tell ourselves we're different I've gotten so good at lying to myself I love the lyrics of this song and when the music picks up. Awesome song. ^_^ |
