The meaning is there: I don’t think the speaker has more problems than we have, he could even have a good life, but he can´t stand knowing that no matter how good is his life is, he will eventually die. I think the song is about a man questioning his life, although everything in it seems to be ok (High tide, Summer in the city, The kids are looking pretty) he feels that something is wrong or living makes no sense anymore (But isn´t it a pity that the sunshine, Is followed by the thunder, And thoughts are going under) and he wants to escape the routine, to live a free live, to make living worthy (And is it any wonder why the sea´s calling out to me) (Let´s run away together you and me, For ever we´d be free). It could also be implied that he is facing his depression drinking (I try to face the day now in a new way, The bottom of the bottle). Another signs of depression: I’m watching my TV, Or is it watching me, I see another new day dawning, It´s rising over me With my mortality, And I can feel the storm clouds sucking Up my soul. |

Chezzz you're right but I think is no only about revelation, and armageddon. I think is more about choosing the wrong religion.I want to make clear that I'm atheist and I'm not trying to make you believe in anything, just my interpretation of the song: 1. The streets of persuasion Are plated with gold ("fake" hurches will sell an idea, and they persuade you with promises of eternal life and abundance) 2. Your heart's in the right place, But you travel down the wrong road (you believe in god but you're in the wrong religion) 3. Like so many before you The gates open wide (Matthew 7:13 New American Standard Bible (© 1995) "Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it.) I think they mean: don't choose the easy way, the easy religion. 4. Here comes the rising tide (here comes the judgment day). 5. Let's go out tonight, There's a mystery underneath those neon lights,Until life and dream collide, 'Cause the truth's gonna come and cut you open wide, And you can't escape the rising of the tide (Let me tell you the truth about your religion, that truth's gonna come and cut you open wide) 6. Keep up your appearance; you're joining the choir, With everybody singing out Glory Hallelujah, The songs get you nowhere, There's nowhere to hide (many hypocrite people go to church, sing and pray there, and believe that it will save them, but singing will get you nowhere) 7.And the company you keep, Well they plan your crucifixion as we speak. (I think "company" refers to the leader, priest, minister or reverend of your religion) 8. You'll petition, but your access was denied And you can't escape the rising of the tide (you've got no hope, you were in the wrong way all your life) 9. Can you tell me brother was I deceived, or in denial? (deceived by the religion) But the whole song may refer to someone who chose the path of crime by false promises and chasing a dream an illusion, and then was betrayed by his partners.Jajajaja that's what i like about The Killers songs!!!! |
