This song is obviously about a (hypo)manic episode. "See that bird has flown too high Pretty soon it will be tired"--> the down after a up "A rich man without his wealth" --> protecting and managing your wealth is very stressful, and he doesn't feel that burden any more. "Sometimes I get it wrong But I'm not the only one" --> Rationalizing your mistakes, as for in former depression as your manic episodes. "got thirsty for a beer, that I had to go to see" --> coupling too completely seemingly unrelated things in impulsive behaver. "The see was very rough It made me feel sick But I like that kind of stuff It beats arithmetic" --> experiencing even the lesser thins as not bad, because it's better than the common logic that the human mind can handle the course is pretty clear to all of us i seem. and i can go on and on with seeing these hypo(mania) aspects of this song. but I'll just take one more example because my coffee is getting cold an I'm hungry for a cigarette: "The early evening mist Looked beautiful to me Was sweeter than a kiss I wish you all could see" ---> It's very common when you are in a mania you feel pity for the people that can't enjoy the beauty of your surroundings as much as you. And not just pity, you really want people to feel like it feels to experience everything so good, perfect, pure and sometimes soothing. "I'm a long long way from home But this photograph of you Even though it's monochrome Tells me what I should do" --> this is more to the, (I hate the load that the word buries) psychotic side. also common in a manic episode. Or even a way to define it. Getting information out of a thing that cannot give you that specific information, connecting dots al the way through. I hope to get some thought from you guys on this. :) peace! |
