This song describes knowing that the end, or some type of catastrophe is coming- he sees it before it arrives, and although he does, he still isn't necessarily ready for the type of horrific experience he has to go through. It's a post apocalyptic myriad of images, and it certainly means the end of a relationship, specifically a break up, (in my opinion The separation of two people is sometimes like the "end of the world", so to speak, but he does endure it, and as he goes through it. His outlook changes. He was the one dumped, but now he is her, and she is where he is. She wants to get back together, but he sees nothing but destruction. He even mentions that when he is home (assuming the home they share) it is not his home anymore and he has evolved. Then he comes upon a post apocalyptic world, where everything is clear and beautiful and his life has basically restarted. Life has started again. It's horrible to endure, but there is a new beginning after, and that's why he believes it is white and "it is good." (sidenote: this phrase is used in Genesis, in the Bible, when God creates a new world; "it is good") So, he completes the song by going back to his first vision- the apocalyptic hell is about to begin, the end is coming, but it is alright. He refers to her as his "friend", which is synonymous of his new beginning without her as a wife/girlfriend, but still as an important part of his life. (sidenote: in the Middle Ages, daisy chains were thought to ward off death) The end is unavoidable, but not final. |
