@[LeArtist:18506] "Sun he giving life in his light, part of the system Friend to man, friend to the trees, no friend to the snowman Where does he go, what does he do? Does he meet with the mole, the stream, the cloud And end up at the bottom of the sea?" That whole paragraph is about the Sun, like the sun that shines down on earth. The Sun is no friend of the snowman. Kinda makes sense. Where does the sun go? At night? Does it sink into the ground? Meet with the mole, the stream, the cloud, or end up at the bottom of the sea (if you have an ocean view of the sunset)? I don't think there is a common theme, or a very loose them throughout the song. Consider it short stories. The last paragraph I differ with the submarine analogy. I tie it in to the paragraph preceding it, so the two make no sense if it's a submarine. I tie it to aliens since there is already another song about an alien word, or an imagined world (Keep it Dark). So when the voice that speaks sounds like a synth, I think it's an alien or even synthetic life. It also makes sense through the last paragraph (seldom need to breathe don't need no wings to fly, fear of fire and water, Clothes of brass, heart of stone). The vacuum thing could mean too many different things because it's in a paragraph that references a horror movie. |
