For anyone who has ever struggled with depression the meaning of these lyrics is obvious. It is why people with depression often don't tell anyone about what they are feeling and may push away friends and family. You need to understand in clinical depression major components are a sense of utter hopelessness as well as feelings of guilt and shame. There is a desire not to "burden" others with your problems, and why bother when nothing will help anyway? This song is about such an individual who is struggling with these feelings. They won't talk about their feelings because they don't want to burden others, yet secretly hope someone else will recognize their pain. The singer is talking about his feelings of guilt "greed" in hoping that hoping this might occur. |

I've had problems with this verse: "On the road to New Orleans A spray of stars hit the screen As the 10th impact shimmered The forbidden candles beamed" Obviously it is about the car crash "on the road to New Orleans" but I'm unsure about the other lines. "A spray of stars" could refer to broken glass but I've come up with another intepretation. At the time of the colision they were speeding late at night in foggy conditions. The truck they ran into had slowed because of a monquito spraying truck was in front. So the "spray of stars" could have been spray from the mosquito truck hitting the windshield. "As the 10th impact shimered" reffers to 10th droplet impacting the windshield, "The forbidden candles beemed", reffers to them seeing the brakelights of the truck in front of them (probably the last thing they saw). |
