| @[cortanddrewbr:38811] Very good analysis. There is one correction, however, in the lyrics. Instead of “lade” which you interpret as a “burden”, the text of the lyrics (from iTunes) has it “lathe”, which is a tool used for shaping wood or metal. This word, in conjunction with “repave”, reinforces the idea that the singer realizes he must reshape and repair his life, transforming it into something new without his lost love. This resolution is bittersweet; heart is still broken, but now at least he is aware of the futility of continuing to ruminate on this loss. | |
