| Awolnation – Kill Your Heroes Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I agree that this is a great interpretation, but I want to offer another perspective on the old man on the train. When he grew up life was way different and perhaps more difficult than that of the song writer, so he is trying to share his wisdom. He has a lot of wisdom to share, because he went through his own hardships in life. This elder is wiser and has been through a lot more life than the songwriter and I think the song writer appreciates that and recounts the life lesson of "never let your fear decide your fate." This is a phrase spoken by someone who has truly lived life and now understands it. I love this song!! | |
