Whilst I appreciate the chronological aspect your explanation for the chorus I feel that I have to disagree with your interpretation. I agree that when corey sings that he was a 'creature before I could stand' that he is referring to being young and then growing up. I think is more talking to emotional maturity and that when he was young he was a lot younger emotionally. Once he chronologically began to mature the way he interacted with the world matured also If the first line of the chorus is viewed with this in mind it takes on s slightly different meaning to yours. Perhaps 'I am a world before I was a man' is referring to the lyricist becoming aware that his actions have a large effect on his surrounding world. This displays emotional development as the lyricist is beginning to understand the effect his choices of the world around him. Therefore they are thinking more about how they are part of the world first before they are a man |
