I've never seen or heard Johnny Hollow explain their songs, so I'll explain what I think this song represents now :) This sounds to me like it's a story about children coming from a divorced household. "Some say it's a combat zone, trying to protect all the things we own" is like parents fighting over the child. You know, like they have some weekends or the clothing or other crap. "Some say we can't complain, the favoured side of the world our domain whilst the other side shudders in pain" That could go for any family. That the children can't complain about what food they eat or whatever, because they have to "best" of it. "Stone throwers living inside a glass cage" is to me a reference to the children. Children are kind of like that...they live inside a "glass cage" where they can see everything, but never go out and touch it or do it. They have stones, but if they throw it at the glass cage it'll break. The people who desperately want to go to the world can go out and break it, but that was their only safe place. Like when a child leaves for college or something. "Some say that those who reign with all their power should take all the blame. And our powerless disdain...it's so easy" is like children saying it's not their fault, it really is their parents, but they won't admit that. "Each staggered birth born with the same love" is like that they loved the child as a baby, both parents were together and things, but then "each weary breath worthy of the same hope" is like that when the parents are reminded that the child is alive and under their responsibility, and they can't change that. Good lord, that took a while. |
