| Daft Punk – Within Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| I'll be leaving the Army soon, 6 years and two deployments after I enlisted. As a person I have changed in so many ways. There are times I question who I am and where I am going in this world. For me, this song talks about just that. The many doors we choose to walk through are all decisions we must make. If its a big decision then all of the avenues of approach (doors) may look the same. Having the answers as to what's on the back end of our decisions (the keys to these doors) would take away the fear of the unknown. To me, this man is afraid of the unknown. He can't make up his mind as to what he wants. It says it in the first few lines. "Many rooms to explore but the doors look the same". He wants the security that comes from the help of others. He is definitely reaching out. I don't know if he necessarily never gets the help he is pleading for. In the sequence of songs on the album there seems to be a bigger purpose of this track. The songs that follow continue the emotional roller coaster of this album. I feel like he gets past this roadblock in life and makes the decision he has been stalling on. Then again maybe that's just my hope because I'm in the same boat as him. | |
