Not hard to to "get" what the lyrics mean, but we all have different associations with it. Personally, it means a lot and describes my constant state of mind I've had since I can remember. "All the deeds of yesterday, have really helped to pave my way." is sarcastic. To me, it refers to the past mistakes I made and still regularly do. I drink myself to sleep everyday and REALLY "helps my pave my way" the next day. /sarcasm The state of feeling so young and old could mean a sensation of impeding death upon somone. The clock is ticking and yet, I have accomplished so little and I have not felt happy for most of my life. The ongoing feeling of emptiness makes one feel much older. And its funny, because I have a beautiful standard of life and have the chance to be well nourished, have access to higher education and hell, even party quite regularky. But despite this, I am exactly full but feeling empty. I think we can all agree that the last verse is the apogee of the song. As previously mentioned by others, it`s how we all hide our pain and pretend that everything is ok. Somone is talking to you, and ask how you are. Most of the time, even to a close one, you are most definitly going ot say that you are doing fine even though you are suffering inside. Basicly, its how we hide our daily pain because its taboo and we are only allowed to talk about our suffering to psychologists or very very close people (and even then....) In short, this song is about how we all suffer silently and try our best to deny the hurting, ultimately failing.. Where do I go, where do I run? Whats left of me or anyone when we've denied the hurting? Drugs and alcohol my friend, and that means, nowhere. |
