This song is about somebody who's on a drinking binge. Hardwood floor is home means that the person has passed out many a times on the floor from drinking, maybe every night. When he talks about the morning coming twice a day or not at all-- this is about waking up from a night of drinking and going back to bed or not waking up till the afternoon. The puzzle is finding the reason why he is drinking or can't break his binge; and the person who he is asking if they will still be around is his lover |

This song is definitely about adventuring, more specifically an area with an exploding volcano. The song describes the danger, difficulties, and problems of explorers which explains why the 'shame on' is repeated and dragged out. I think that the 'Mind control has left its nest' sung in the first verse is describing the instinctive fear that is experienced when one is near threatening disasters or in this case the volcano. The second and third verse describe purely the adventuring endured. I interpreted the last verse as the explorer's sole reason for going adventure, 'the call to adventure comes'. |
