| Sorry for typos, was very tired while writing this... And yep, those are just things that come to MY mind when I try to catch the meaning of Yoni's words. | |

The whole song is about one's worth and society's perception of it, and how distorted and inertly and inherently it is measured and used (under the assumption that no absolute worth of any human can be measured) It starts with losing dignity in old age by trying to stay young (hear Act Five for Yoni's views on age), and than, establishing that natural course is much more adequate (new words in shadows of his face - something to learn from the elderly) and elegant (wine glass - very elegant, perfect pitch - inevitable cause for death: AGE). "Dumped into order" - as soon as we get born we are put into place... "buckets of sea salt" new age ways of baby delivery maybe? In a tub at home in salt water and new age stuff like that... "What was the first condiment (blood)" - we started our life by "sucking" blood, who cares about delivery methods (you just swallow the cold and follow your breath until death - Gemini - Birthday Song)... Great people often get overshadowed and suffocated by the mass and ruggedness of the average masses, and sometimes they withstand, but sometimes they dont... and it is sad, but true. "Flowers are how plants laugh, and not by joke or the ridicule" means that smart and good people don't express themselves in spite of others, but because it's what they are... beautiful. He never saw his parents try to make him what he made of himself, because he made himself worthy and great. Bathroom mirror shows the contrast of beautiful interior and weird exterior, two world that need to be connected some way... "jumped into living" - whether he likes it or not "Under a dracula caped eclipse"... off into bloodsucking world, healthy baby, off you go... "like cutting watermelon meat with a wire" meaning with such ease and suggesting abortion, "you shoot sick from the hip and never miss" - from the hip meaning skillfully and routinely, shoot sick and never miss meaning killing an unworthy potential member of society... "all the things inside me..." meaning guess i was and am worthy... Before "this is a sky for shoeing horses under" I thing he rhythmically sighs "suff-o-cate" |
