--I completely agree with the alcoholism theory....i also believe that there could be some religious meaning to the song. Basically i think "the third day, the magical - a way to believe im born again" is representing a person who suffers through this addiction throughout life yes, but in this representation starting on a friday night. Maybe this continues over into saturday as well, either with more drinking or even just recovering from the damage from the previous night. Now, where the religious reference is obvious. "the third day" = sunday(church). "The magical - a way to believe im born again" = showing how many people believe they can just go to church and magically be saved or born again every single week!-- Other religious references: "ive been searching some answers concealed in my heart, the spirit within" = searching for sobriety and hoping that it is within him somewhere. And with the help of god(spirit)he will find it. "with the screws on my lips, i am falling down into the kings sea" = not being able to open his mouth or speak up to confess his sins so he is falling into hell. Other alcoholism references: "ive been hunting those secrets with my deepest bottle, but have found none." = turning to alcohol again for guidance but getting nowhere. "feel the touch of oblivion, and now im floating" = feeling drunk. "this rope around me tightens again, and i wonder who i really am" = the rope is representing his addiction which is pulling him back in making him wonder if he is the good person he hopes and tries to be or if he is just doomed to being an addict forever. Im not quite sure yet about the rope winding in me? |
