As a reply to ObessiveTendencies: The dragon could be referring to "Chasing the dragon". This could narrow the scope to the use of heroin. If u would find dragons anywhere...its in China. The monkey could also represent his own body(a lesser being than the "smart homo sapien") wich the abuser knowingly neglects. The (heroin) abuser is turning white(literally) from neglecting his body's needs(food, maintainence, regular sleep, relaxation etc etc) while he chases the dragon to China (somewhere he will never arrive). Any drug user can tell u that the search for the good or ultimate kick is always there, and almost never fullfilled. (Almost) every shot's result dissapoints you but u keep using cause the next shot might get u to China. Hope this shines a new light on that particular bit of a great song. |

I think this song refers to "Wings for Marie" and "10.000 days" by Tool The singer(the Christain) cant explain why Maynard's mother(Marie) had to die. He rather keeps things shallow than to ask too many questions(about the existance of a God). The only way the Christian can look at her is by closing his eyes. As she is dieing the Christian is in need of an Optimist that tells him "its the perfect color for her"(somehow its god's wil, maybe Maynard even sees this as the end of her sufferingl). At her burial(maynards mother was cremated) the Christian sees his fellow Christians nod and ignore the smoke and smile("she is with god now"). The subject's belief is crushed and he can only just sit and stare at her lifeless body. And becuase the reality is too hard to face, he just "doesnt want to know". |
