My interpretation of this song is that it reflects on life as an atheist who has a religious family. He thinks that his family would hate him for not believing in God, while in the chorus he argues with god saying..."Do you know, Do you know?" And "what do you know?" These are either arguments with the relatives or god. It shows that the singer has lost something precious in his life, making him turn into an atheist, as most people do when the lose a loved one. He then comes to the realization that he is left alone in this situation because his family rejects him, (because of his atheist beliefs) and says..."When everything Comes crashing down You're all I know, You're all I know" stating that when everything goes to shit, he's only got god. Now, the final part of the chorus says.."I'm ready for the fall Ready for the leaves Ready for the colors to Burn to gold and crumble away" in this case the leaves are his loved ones, and the tree they fall off is his FAMILY tree. So when the leaves "Burn to gold and crumble away" is implying that when the crumble they die. My favorite part of the song is..You were the one "You were the one (Do you know) You were the one (Do you know) Who helped me see You were the one (Do you know)You were the one (Do you know)" This shows that the faith of the singer is changed in and out when his relatives pass away. Or it could mean that he pretends to believe in God when in actuality he doesn't. Just my thoughts on it. If you read through all of this then you are a loyal soldier. |
