@[MasterOfMyOwnLife:23405] What about "You labeled me I’ll label you"? His younger version of himself didn't label him. That would point more to the society. |

@[twilightwrath:23404] I would disagree (unless he confirmed it in real life). The "old man" in the song is himself, not his father ("That old man here is me") and also he's the boy he is singing about ("What I've felt" etc). Maybe he's singing to his father, but I would lean more to the possibility that he is singing to young version of himself and he cannot forgive himself for obedience or he's singing to society for wanting him to be someone he's not inside. I couldn't conclude who is that he cannot forgive. Who has labeled him? His parents (I would doubt that he's talking about his name...) or society? Maybe someone else? Why not father: - didn't mentioned him, - parent's have control of their children to certain age, this just doesn't add up with: "Throughout his life the same He’s battled constantly This fight he cannot win" - that would point more to the society. If you have any thoughts/conclusions please add them, that's just my opinion. |
