i cant beleive no one has commented on this this song is beautiful, when the bridge kicks in with "to set it down" its the most beautiful thing ive heard, i couldnt stop listening to this song

ok my attempt at interpretaiton: it must have something to do with international hardships when he talks about bordeaux and the gold coast (in africa for those who lve in a cave)

the host of the show could mean god who hosts our lives if you want to get all gayly religious about it. and hes saying that he doesnt do much to help everyone in hard times he just comes to collapse on the ground.

then hes saying"the future has fallen short when the sun sets north and clouds fall from mirrored walls" like our days are being cut before the sun can set west, like were shortening our own future and oppurtunity

the chorus is saying that you can try to stop words and gossip and lies but youll never overcome them and iyou need to understand it and accept it

the host could also be just a hero figure and when his mouth is sewn shut he gives in cause he cant fight with words any longer. and you can spare the world of his eulogy because its the same old story, that the hero is defeated in our world.

and when it all falls apart he just has himself and escapism. then he says "ill never learn to set it down" which means hell never give it up and give in.

i dunno im just guessing you should try too instead of saying "OmGz this song totally rox my sox off" cause this is song meanings after all

I completely disagree. Read mine.
