Shaking through, to me, it's a song about an entire lifetime... ________________________ "Could it be that one small voice doesn't count in the room?" Who hasn't been ignored simply for being young, or just less "important" "Yellow like a geisha gown, denial all the way" A strong vibrant saturated yellow, and yellow itself means cowardly.. and who hasn't denied being a coward.. "Could this by three be ten? Honor marches on" Sometimes the mission or foe is much bigger or more than you expected, but you just have to carry on. "Shaking through, opportune" Shaking your way through life, like a shirt that barely fits, its tight uncomfortable but it'll do. You have to get through for opportunities. "Are we grown way too far? Taking after rain" Grown way too far, unable to experience things that a child could, unable to enjoy what you once could. "In my life" Self explanatory "Ears that are still, children of today on parade" hearing/seeing, children "parading around" meaning shameless being themselves, the new generation, and now you're the adult of their childhood. "Yellow like a geisha gown, denial all the way Shaking through, opportune Shaking through, opportune" Chorus starts, to me concluding that the children are full of fear, as strong as the yellow of a geisha gown, and would deny it still, shaking through life, like everyone else. ________________________ That's my interpretation. |
