The part about the ancestors resembles the feeling of looking at the other older women/men of the former generations, heroes. It could make someone feel like they haven't done enough. The whole song for me resembles a male/female friendship. A friendship that is slowly moving towards romance, but in the strangest way.Because you would most not definitely call your female friend 'my girl'. But the narrator doesn't care what the others think about his 'girl' because he loves her. Not just in a friend way,a non-admitted romantic connection. |

I was reading Battle Royale when I first heard this beautiful song. As I read the book, I realized it related to battle and fighting. I do agree with the war vets interpretation, but I feel like this song was made for the book I read. It's like seeing the kids fight, as they're the victims. The dead,and the two (don't want to spoil) who lived are the vets,the viewpoint. They remember all of the people and things from the battle, feeling like everything is collapsing above them. Because a winner from the book smiled for the cameras.They couldn't do anything else to cover the pressure. The clock part symbolizes the map and forbidden zones. idk about you, but that book and the war vets definitely give me whole different feelings about the song.(It's one of my favorites of the album.) |
