Hey! someone give me insight if ya have it. I've been listening to this song for a while and still am not fully clear. All I can perceive is that life is short and runs in a cycle: ...snowman.
Where does he go, what does he do?
Does he meet with the mole, the stream, the cloud
And end up at the bottom of the sea.
Then he says: Vacuum coming for the bright and the brute.
But that riddle at the bottom totally baffles me. Any info? Any insight? Any CLUE???
@LeArtist "Sun he giving life in his light, part of the system
Friend to man, friend to the trees, no friend to the snowman
Where does he go, what does he do?
Does he meet with the mole, the stream, the cloud
And end up at the bottom of the sea?"

That whole paragraph is about the Sun, like the sun that shines down on earth. The Sun is no friend of the snowman. Kinda makes sense. Where does the sun go? At night? Does it sink into the ground? Meet with...

Meet with the mole, the stream, the cloud, or end up at the bottom of the sea (if you have an ocean view of the sunset)?
I don't think there is a common theme, or a very loose them throughout the song. Consider it short stories. The last paragraph I differ with the submarine analogy. I tie it in to the paragraph preceding it, so the two make no sense if it's a submarine. I tie it to aliens since there is already another song about an alien word, or an imagined world (Keep it Dark). So when the voice that speaks sounds like a synth, I think it's an alien or even synthetic life. It also makes sense through the last paragraph (seldom need to breathe don't need no wings to fly, fear of fire and water, Clothes of brass, heart of stone).
The vacuum thing could mean too many different things because it's in a paragraph that references a horror movie.
@LeArtist as with so many things philosophical, they can take on many meanings and often with an individual bias.\r\n\r\nThe sentence \'Vacuum coming for the bright and the brute.\'\r\nstrikes me as a powerful reference to the vacuum of space and the minority of humankind. We\'re all the same, we come and go easily and while were here, we choose how we behave and act.\r\nAre we being responsible as individuals, is it a satisfying, good existence on balance globally. Many would argue not.\r\n\r\nIn the longer term, we will all be reduced to dust, atoms or less by the vacuum of space, the...
