I'll take a stab at the meaning. I believe this song celebrates the journey of life from the make-believe of childhood to memories of the past: "We didn't need a story, we didn't need a real world, we just had to keep walking and we became the stories" Through challenges as a young adult to the present: "Carry on, carry on, carry on and after us, the flood, carry on, carry on our silver horn leads the way" And finally, the song exalts in the fact that as we and our circumstances change throughout our lives, we live as many different people, but we're always ourselves in the present: "we were you before you even existed" "Our silver horn leads the way" "Footprints of snow, blind from the road" "Follow us, we are one" "hand on my breast, I'll keep you warm" I'm sure this at least is entirely person but this song is a very visual experience for me. I see myself marching with dozens of versions of myself all from previous stages of my life, and all in viking uniform with silver horns and banners through a valley in the snow. Sort of a transcendent metaphor of life's struggle and progress. |

This song is about perservering in the face of fear and adversity by believing that you can. "Do you feel like you've lost everything you can lose?" "When you cry do your tears ever chill up the room?" "Do you ever lay awake with a look in the eye asking God if a wish is too big to deny?" "When the storm brings rain, snow, fate of all kinds" "When the day seems to melt, fall flat in the night" "When you can't go on, you got to get up and try" "When the bombs come down you will make it alive, only if you want to believe" It's also about Tom's personal worst fear, never seeing the person he's sleeping next to again. "I'd like to say, that you're my only fear" "And when I dream, it slowly disappears" "And when I wake, I'm right here by your side" "To feel your heart, beat in and out of time" |
