@[bluremi:10429] I was totally thinking the same thing about it being the point of view of a pilot in a war. "They say there was an ice age... Incidents of road rage" I see this as a newfound perspective on life (gained from his experiences in the war, as you said) - how petty and fickle our daily squabbles are in the face of all of history. I also like how the two verses lead into the chorus with opposite feelings - at first he says he'd rather be in an airplane, then expressed anger at ever being put up in an airplane in the first place. I think he did enjoy flying, and even found it to be perhaps the most freeing experience he's had, being up and away from the rest of the world, and yet being up there is also what led to his injuries and worse, his hand in the deaths of others. I'm not sure if that fully qualified as a catch-22, but it would be apropos. Also, wow, this song came out over 4 years ago? I am late to the party. |
