I think this song is about a father talking to his son. (this is kind of my take of the lyrics) weep for yourself, my man, you'll never be what is in your heart weep little lion man, you're not as brave as you were at the start (as we all have to learn in life, we first have the biggest dreams and then life beats us down) rate yourself and rake yourself, take all the courage you have left waste it on fixing all the problems that you made in your own head (this is were I think the father feels he has left his boy after trying to raise him. As most fathers see themselves in their children and this father, I think, is seeing that he has passed some of his own problems to his son. and is kind of saying "yeah, I know you create problems that aren't really there cause you think too much, just like me".) but it was not your fault but mine and it was your heart on the line i really fucked it up this time didn't I, my dear? (its my fault your the way you are tremble for yourself, my man, you know that you have seen this all before tremble little lion man, you'll never settle any of your score your grace is wasted in your face, your boldness stands alone among the wreck learn from your mother or else spend your days biting your own neck (look I can see me in you so I am telling you don't go down this road, dont make the same mistakes I have. learn from your mother not me. or you will regret it like me.) |

Gstarrr I really like your take on it. I can see it as i reread the lyrics. Though my take from the beginning is much more in line with jtquenlin's (02-07-2010)take on them. I really think it is the dad talking to his son. and blaming himself for his son's perspective on life, or the wreck that his son's life is becoming as he follows down his father's foot steps. |
