Hey man where can I go?
It's too late to find holes in the ocean I know
I said man stay here a while
I'll never find safety in numbers here on the mile

Say man is this in the right?
I wanna heal cracks in the sidewalk and keep it alive
Sat down on the ground and I laid my head down to see
I closed up my eyes as the numbers went by
And that's when I started this dream

Son you're still young but your mind has grown old it
Seems
Now go tell your sister to show me her new magazines

Said man sit for a while
Son he said son how you've only begun on the mile

I've been to the moon and the stars and the go
Inbetweens
Go tell your sis to stop playing with new machines

Tell them to keep things quiet

Man stay here a while

    OK. First off, I really really don't think that this guy is a lunatic, I think it represents a kid like me. I am a person who thinks really really hard, and knows, and understands more then anyone should.

    "Hey man, where can I go? It's too late to find holes in the ocean, I know.". I think that represents a sense of being lost. Like, wanting to go home, but already being there. Holes in the ocean are in my opinion best described as continents. Not literal holes. It's too late, because he already knows he will never be happy, no matter where. He knows more then what's good. He knows that.

    "Hey man, stay here awhile, I will never find safety in numbers, here on the mile." The mile represents life, and he can't find anyone to be with him. He is begging "man" to stay with him, give him safety, by adding to his count of beating hearts, or numbers. The more people to help him along, the happier he will be. Just, no one is willing to stay by his side.

    "Say man, is this in the right, I wanna heal the cracks in the sidewalk, and keep it alive. Set down on the ground and I laid my head down to see. I closed up my eyes as the numbers went by and that's when I started this dream." He's asking if the world will be o.k., the cracks in the side walk are the world, and he just wants to help, but there's nothing he can do, so he's laying down to think, and to understand how he can help the world. People like him are always trying to help, because they think their own happiness is less important then that of the others.

    "Son, your still young but your mind has grown old it seems. Now go tell your sister to show me her new magazines," The man is not actually his father, but a masculine society. It is not masculine at all however, it is just the ruler of life. It IS society, and then it is recognizing the kid's emotions, and thoughts, but not caring, it wields it's head towards the sister, who I believe represents pop culture, and fame, and popular things,. The magazine is one of the biggest parts of pop culture, society is more interested in it's roots, then it is in a couple of people who understand far more then they should. Pop culture is a sister, because it is a part of our lives, in escapable, and it is always going to be that way. it is a sister because quite frankly, it is as important to all of us as family, wether we are willing to admit it or not.

    "Said man, sit for awhile, said son, he said son 'How you've only begun on the mile on the mile on the mile'" Society is telling the child that he's only beginning, and he will learn to ignore the pestering things as time goes on, like everyone else has. Life has just begun for him, and he needs to understand this most of all, he understands, but can he learn that all you need to do is pretend its alright. The kid can't accept that.

    "I've been to the moon and the stars and go in-betweens, now go tell your sister to stop playing with new machines." Society is telling the kid that he knows what it's like, just knowing to much, but, like I said, could care less. Society tells the kid that he's been there, done that, and how its come to this, nothing, so the kid should give up. Honestly, society has no idea. Society wants the kid to tell pop culture to cease the tampering with new technology. Advancements can only lead to bad things.

    "Said I've been to the moon and the stars and the go in-betweens, now go tell your sister to stop playing with new machines," (REPEAT)

    "tell them to keep things quiet" Society wants pop culture to relax. He wants the world to cease foolishness. But this order seems to me to be useless, and society knows that no matter how much he says stuff, it wont stop.

    All the repetitions I believe are just for dramatic affect, to get the point across.
