The song also could be a metaphor for the passing from life to death. The physical references in the song could easily be associated with the physical changes in your life . The hundredth meridian is a physical place on the map but is also the ideal age for the human being to break through . When Gord in the background says you're going to miss me it's true. There is a parallel between the unchanged planes in the unchanged man . The fact is they really do change even though we don't want to admit it, Even though we get older Brain thinks we are young untouched unsullied we want to keep this perfect image for as long as we could hold onto it. The physical references that even the Great Plains are disappearing they are changing as they get older and one day they too will be gone, ( Mans quest to change the landscape of the world to suit his needs without the respect of the effects of future generations and nature ! |
