i agree with zeeboi. only, i think E tries to overcome the general hostility and rise above; stretch himself toward the sun as flowers do, but still gets stomped right back down.
he's a frustrated flower as well!
Angst. A lot of it too. E sees himself as a flower, timid and frail that everyone steps on.
i don't think this song's about jesus. i think E makes it pretty clear in "all in a day's work" that he's not religious. i love this song. it sounds so depressing to start with, and almost suicidal, but gets kind of optimistic towards the end. makes me smile every time.
im a frustrated flower :( ::sigh::
One of their best songs, if not the best.
I think the song is a take on the life of Jesus. Specifically, in the garden of Gethsemane.
"Tomorrow's king, an unsightly coward You see, I know I'm going to win"
Plus a digital choir is singing throughout the song.
I was almost positive "tomorrow's king" referred to the singer, or is that what you're trying to say? :/

And having a choir in songs doesn't always transform them into religious songs, you silly metal. :p I think the choir is in this song because of the little mini-story in the lyrics. You know, hero faces difficulty and rises above sort of thing.

I agree with stegemreeali; he even starts to hum at the end. ^_^
