This feels like his relationship with Winnie as a metaphor for our relationship with our fellow man. The difficulty of sustaining a relationship and the beauty of the struggle over time. |

Drunken rant. Beautiful verse. Pretty literal as to meaning. We are a brutal kind. Enough with the hand wringing. Enough with "American Dream" BS. Just be good to your neighbor. Utopian constructs just get us in trouble. Don't put your hope in a system. |

Not sure I really want to get into this because as someone once said,'talking about music is like dancing about architecture' or words to that affect. However, I do think that " the rest of the details in the song" ARE important. After all, they contain the title. What sits between them there on ice? What is he neglecting to declare? Its the central theme of the piece. It's chilled. It's fizzy and still. I sounds like booze to me. And if its not literally a drinking problem, then it is a representation of his own faults. Is it really not for him? Is it really too high a price? Or was it a failure to defeat his own demons? That alone is a lot from so few lyrics but that's the beauty of the art. |
