"Somewhere that's sweet maybe someday we will meet. And I can thank you without strings" My interpretatin: Someday we'll meet again and maybe then I'll forgive you and thank you for the lessons learned without having to express my feelings in a song. I can imagine strumming violently on a guitar (the strings) / (the only way some know how to express themselves) about a break up or whatever bothersome nature. Or, someday when we meet again, I can thank you without wasting my energy on writing a song about you. |

Great song!!! I agree with and see the ideas of war, politics, love, and death. I really like the idea of the archer's being cupid's arrow as previously mentioned by Rayderette. My take - pre-death (death being imminent / having death bed type remorse) looking back at one's life coming to the conclusing of, this is why I lived... To fight for acceptance, love, peace, happiness, etc to end up empty handed (arms unfolded) alone and dying. Struggling to fight all of lives fights to ultimately lose no matter how hard you try (come hell or high water). As well as, despite all of your fight - death is always lurking (Bride of Quiet). At the end, the acceptance of death and dying (Lay your arms around me) giving up to death, forefitting life almost like it's a choice to do so... perhaps winning the fight afterall??? |
