I believe the song is about someone struggling with depression. First of all, the general mood of the song isn't exactly uplifting. The vocalist sounds almost broken and... tired. They are tired of life and the depression they has to deal with. The lyric "You look so tired of living like a kite" proves this. In my opinion, the line "living like a kite" doesn't represent floating; in fact, it's quite the opposite. The protagonist is tired of being tied down when they fight to roam, much like a kite. They're being held down by their depression, and wish to be cut loose. Whether being cut loose means being "cured" of their sadness, or ending their life is unknown. Lastly, the song mentions several times how "it's all in your mind". This is constantly told to the protagonist, to the point that they remind themselves of it constantly. Despite this, the words have little meaning to them and instead of comforting the protagonist of the possibility of getting better, the words belittle them and remind them that they are being defeated by their own mind. Off subject, but I love reading these comments and seeing everyone's interpretation of the song! Everyone obviously connected to it somehow, and I love it when people connect to music and try to relate to it. Also, it's nearly 1 am and what the hell am I doing on this website. |
