Love this song. Of course, with music, to each person their own interpretations. To me it sounds like: His first verse talks about his upbringing, and how he views himself as someone who has suffered misfortunes & missed opportunities. (Whether he sees himself as the proprietor of these issues I'm not sure. He does use the word "denied") I think the chorus could be about his own spits and sputters in life... I don't know much about mr. Rossen but I think we all succumb to the issues in our lives at one point or another. Empty hearts and bitter smiles being the relationships we hurt, usually our closest loved ones. The next verse feels like it could be about something/someone specific to his life, but a broader interpretation could be about what we expect to happen when we attempt to tackle our issues. We expect it to be a fight a "crushing defeat." Here we have his subconscious voice telling him it's okay to make mistakes, and to let go of lies he's been told. But he, as well as most of us have, has an adamant will to hold on to petty, comforting "truths." In the second verse, here he goes again - continuing on with his toxic cycles of spits and sputters of motivation and the lack of it. He mentions "bliss in this mess" and the "madness all around." He alludes to his understanding that there is a silver lining to his pains, the world's pains. He has since been heard singing "magic all around" which I feel further strengthens that interpretation. The last verse I can really related to. It's that feeling when you've had enough. You're trying so hard to unload some of the pressure you out yourself through. You see that there's more to life that keeping things bottled. You also know things could go wrong if you don't let it out... Side note: This WHOLE song and interpretation could easily be flipped, as he could also be singing about someone in his life that has gone through / put him through a lot. But usually I tend to think music is more introspective... This is all just my interpretation of a beautiful piece of music : ) |
