Took the fireworks and the vanity The sunken board and the city streets Shooting star, swaying palm tree Laid it at all at his feet This sounds like a bitter sweet reflection of the main character. he has reached where he was going, he has fame (fireworks) and vanity. he has the shames (the sunken board) and he takes to the city streets. its night time under shooting stars on a beach, and he lays all hes done at the feet of another character. possibly the mentor. If I could change my mind, change the paradigm Prepare myself for another life Forgive myself for the many times I was cruel to something helpless and weak This verse sounds like the hero is now addressing the mentor character. he says he wishes it hadn't ended like this, he wishes he was some one different. he realizes this is impossible, but hopes in another life it will turn out differently. its a slightly ironic comment made in jest. he then adds sobering, that he wishes also that he could just forgive himself, for all the times he acted less then heroically. But here it comes, that heavy love I'm never going to move it alone Here it comes, that heavy love Tag it on a tenement wall Here it comes, that heavy love Someone's got to share in the load Here it comes, that heavy love I'm never going to move it alone Now the mentor replies to him, with what he sees to be the answer to all of lives questions. the heavy love, not a romantic love or comradely love, but a deep acceptance of every one and everything in the world. I was dressed in white, touched by something pure Death obsessed like a teenager Sold my tortured youth, piss and vinegar I'm still angry with no reason to be The hero waves him aside, and returns to his thoughts. he remembers back when it began, when he was still pure and untainted. he thought about death constantly, confused by teachings of evil and good. he gave up his entire youth, blood spit and fire trying to figure it out, but never did. even now, it makes him angry, despite it being his own decision. At the architect who imagined this For the everyman, blessed Sisyphus Slipping steadily into madness Now that's the only place to be free He blames the architect, possibly god or the government, or even the villain of the story for his mess, and states that every man blesses Sisyphus. he says that like Sisyphus, endless and meaningless tasks are a blessing, just like the madness they eventually bring. madness, the only place a man can be free from strife and worry. But here it comes, that heavy love You're never going to move it alone Here it comes, that heavy love Tattooed on a criminal's arm Here it comes, that heavy love Someone got to share in the load Here it comes, that heavy love You're never going to move it alone The mentor speaks again of love, and how it can forgive and change even criminals, releasing them from their sins. if it can do that for some one like that, how much more can it do for you? No, I don't want to play It's a shell game, it's a shell game the hero angry now, shakes his head and cuts the mentor off. love is a rigged game he says, and im not going to play if im doomed to lose. better to never love at all then love and be betrayed. Distorted sounds on oscilloscopes Distorted facts, I could never cope My private life is an inside joke No one will explain it to me the hero speaks bitterly of how his life has fallen apart, nothing makes sense, nothing feels just. and yet he smiles on, goign through life like a meteor, just to spite it. he is a rock. We'll be everything that we ever needed Everyone, on the count of three! Everyone, on the count of three! All together now! every man is an island! he cried, leaping to his feet and smiling in a unhinged manner. im all that i need! i dont need anyone! everyone, anyone, we all need no one! Here it comes, that heavy love We're never going to move it alone Here it comes, that heavy love Playing as the cylinder rolls Here it comes, that heavy love I only want to share in the load Here it comes, that heavy love I'm never going to move it alone and the mentor responds one last time, wearily for being denied so many times, but still championing love. he only wants to help the hero over his depression, but will he ever listen? |
