Yes, that's a very good interpretation. I've noticed now that he seems to mention things like 'burning thin the burning rim'. This sounds like it is representing her weakness, and that she's breaking down. Also 'They crowd your bedroom like some thoughts wearing thin' shows her strain, and I think that you're also right about protection. |

The chorus defines the song meaning for me. You're just like your father Buried deep under the water You're resting on your laurels And stepping on my toes Whose side are you on? What side is this anyway? Put down your sword and crown Come lay with me on the ground 'Buried deep under the water' suggest to me that she is oblivious and in denial to her surroundings, or she is not listening to him. 'Put down your sword and crown' means that she may think that she is superior, and 'come lay with me on the ground', means that she should not see him and inferior, and she should step down and join him on the ground. I may be completely wrong, but that is just what the song means to me :) |
