Besides the obvious theme of letting go of a grudge that holds you down with negativity, and other obvious references, the whole Saturn thing confused me. I found an interview with Maynard where he explains it. (Not word for word) He basically says when you're born, Saturn is in a specific position. It takes about 28/29 years for it to make a full rotation around the sun back to it's original position. This represents a time in your life when you can evaluate where you are. |

I actually agree with your reference to suicide. I was just listening to the song and thinking, "if pain is an illusion and we truly are eternal, why is he stressing the fact that we need to embrace this body and the chance to be alive if we are never going to die anyway? If we are eternal then I don't care about this insignificant life." That's when I thought of the suicide aspect. If you are so depressed and thinking about ending your life, you still will not die, just your physical body will. Your soul will look back and regret that decision because it made no difference; all that pain you were experiencing wasn't real anyway. If you had just realized that fact you could have gotten the most out of that physical life. Now you ended it too early and moved on to some different aspect of eternal living. Basically, our souls are only occupying these bodies once, so make the most of it, because once your body dies you won't get it back. That's how it relates to suicide, so that dude above me callin everyone emo is a dumbass. |
