| I like this interpretation best...however, in the part where she cut his hair...its hair, not "heir"....and I believe this is also a biblical reference to Samson and Delilah. His holy strength was in his hair. He was a Nazarite, and took a vow to never cut his hair, as a commitment to God. He lusted for Delilah, and the woman broke him down......and he told her that his secret to his strength was in his hair.... she cut it. Publicly exposing his weakness. -Judges 16. | |

In the first stanza he is being honest with his realizations that "whatever" is not working out for him. In the 2 stanzas that have "har har har har har har har har" at the end...he's listing those lies, that he no longer believes....that were tricking him. The final 2 stanzas are him coming to the realization that we are going to meet our maker...what we invest our love in is what truly matters to us... He is grounding himself in some truth after being put through the wringer. This is his moment of clarity. |
