I think the song is about pulling yourself up from when you have hit rock bottom. it's saying that no matter how hard things can get and how chaotic everything may seem, there is a way out, and that is not to run away from it. Its metaphorical of a problem in lfe that has been built up so much that you can't do anything but panic whenever it presents itself. The song seems to be like an internal voice telling the person to take things slowlly, step back and see the problem for what it really is and eventually overcome it. |

To me the song is about leaving a legacy so that the protagonist can prove that he has worth. The whole feel of the song seems to have a rallying quality that is about making a stand when you are feeling at your lowest and making something of yourself. To leave a kind of "scar" on history that is there for all future generations to see. It kind of questions the fragility of human existance and also its potential futility. Its like realising that in comparrison to the universe as a whole, the human race has occupied such an infintessimal portion of time, and could disappear in a heartbeat. No-one having ever known we were here. The realisation of this for the protagonist has given him drive and so willed him to strive. In this way i think it is quite an uplifting song. |
