@[docroxo:50882] I have a completely different take on the chorus - I have always taken it to say no matter how much you f*** up, it doesn't matter, you're going to die eventually and no one will remember it. Twisting, though, we die every day, those failures kill off the old, slightly more naive person we were. Some folk cling to the failures, like it defines them. But it doesn't matter. Also, not that important when you succeed, since eventually everyone who knew or cared will be leaving the stadium by the same route. The difference is winning (or not totally failing) feels better right now, and we tend to dwell on failure for decades after. The verses illustrate failures of various types - but, I think, predominately 'moral' failures. Enjoyed your take on the song, and will consider your chorus view next time I listen. |
