Can't believe I'm the first comment! Amazing song!! Anyway, I think this song is telling the story of a friend or loved one of the narrator who is in a coma and the prognosis looks bleak. The narrator is desperately trying to get a response from her (I'm going to say 'her' because I think the person in a coma is the narrator's lover) and wonders if she can see or hear or feel him there with her all the time. When the doctors tell him that she is likely to die from her injuries, the narrator seems to give up hope but professes that no matter what, he will still love her. It seems like he stops visiting her when he is told she will probably die but promises that he will wait for her to be with her in the afterlife "far in the future". Alternatively, he is told that she will stay in this state and they don't currently have the technology to 'fix' her, so he is telling her he will stay loyal and wait for her until they can 'fix' her "far in the future". Interpret it how you like but that's the idea I got from it :) |

It really seems to me like this song is about depression that comes from a failed relationship, romantic rejection, chronic failure, or the loss of a loved one. My evidence is as follows: Verse 1: "Maybe one day I'll be an honest man / Up till now I've done the best i can" - The narrator is lamenting his inability to live up to society's (or a certain lady or personal influence) standards of a 'decent person'. "Long roads, long days of sunrise to sunset / Sunrise to sunset" - He feels like life is passing him by and he has no chance to live life the way he wants to. "Dream on brothers while you can / Dream on sisters, I hope you find the one" - He wishes his family will have better lives than he has had. "All of our lives covered up quickly / By the tides of time" He believes that life is insignificant and he will just be forgotten and meaningless. Verse 2: "Dream on brothers while you can / Dream on sisters, I hope you find the one" - The narrator reiterates his desire to see his family members live their dreams and find love and happiness. "All of our lives covered up quickly / By the tides of time" - He still feels insignificant and mortal. "Sands are flowing, and the lines are in your hands" - He feels time passing him by and he feels like his misery is predestined. "In your eyes I see the hunger, / And the desperate cry that tears the night" - He is desperate to have a life of happiness and meaning. Chorus: "Spend your days full of emptiness / Spend your years full of loneliness" - The narrator feels like it's his lot in life to suffer and be unloved. "Wasting love in a desperate caress / Rolling shadows of night" - He feels like his love is being wasted because he's trying to cling onto someone/something that is leaving him, and all he's left with is coldness, pain, and fear. This song is beautiful. It was my favourite IM song for a while and it's just amazing. Helps me get through the hard times.. |
