@[shaytee:30956] Yes, this is what is probably happening in the literal sense. Leaving it there shortchanges the lyric though, as all it does it give imagery without too much deeper meaning - a prisoner waiting to die - pictured by the passing of time. The deeper poetic meaning behind the line, I would personally say, is most likely my interpretation. It's definitely has double meaning though and I would be pretty confident in saying that we each got half of it. Which actually is maybe what you're saying upon re-reading your post. |

"I see my light come shining From the west unto the east." If sunlight is shining from the west unto the east, the sun is in the west and about to set. So if his light is shining from the west unto the east, his life is about to set (end). |
