@[Spectre7:45339] late (understatement, more like Golden Internet Explorer Award) reply, but while I do agree the meaning is closely related to exiles from Eden, I think meaning is far more... bitter. They blame the God for all of that happened to them. Because it was he who put the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil in garden of Eden and because he forbid man to eat from it. He gave mankind the free will and yet punished them for using it. They were stripped from innocence because of failed test and they see it as betrayal of trust. God made them corruptable. I also think that: (Second Verse) Leave your mark upon the head of someone Who'll cry for his state, we know it's too late Is about baptism, and its supposed role of cleansing of the Original Sin, as now It changes nothing, the Eden and the innocence is gone. I turn round to see what was meant to be Faint movement release to rid the disease The disease here is a memory of what they have lost, the neverending yearning for end of their exile. God no longer listens to them, so they ask if someone else could tell him to correct the mistake he made. |
