RE: "Devo. then the next verse "my blood before me begs me, open up my heart again"... he's sayin that the blood before him (his children, future grandchildren, etc.) is begging him to forget the past and start over... " You got your tenses mixed up, bro. Blood before would have been his father, grandfather, etc.. and not his future children, grandchildren, etc.. Otherwise I agree you are on the right path with the rest of your interpretation. |

Joanna and Klara consistently write songs that touch on the humble theme which embraces and celebrates the coldness in this uncompassionate, material universe. They often speak to me as if they're saying, "sorry to break this to you, but the universe doesn't revolve around your feelings. But don't get hung up on that, and live as if every moment is your last, because it very much is". This song in particular puts this theme next to our often futile pursuit of youth and love, and how circumstances can change, no matter how much we'd like to believe we are in control. do you believe it? that one day when we die and your story eventually fades from the pages of history, have you come to terms with this reality, that nothing is forever? Well thank GOD! Isn't it good that history holds no permanent memory of us and our tragic failures, so we can keep moving on, unhindered by the memories of the past? |
