I found this song on Silverchair's "Without You" CD single, and I saw that it wasn't listed on here... and this is an amazing song.
I think Daniel wrote this song to reflect back on his battles with depression, and to tell his fans and himself that he's moved on to better things.
"But the salt water's dry, and the pain's in the sky..."
I think the salt waters are his tears, and they're dry and gone now.
No longer engaged
To insecure scars
Cause nothing's secure
It's just kept behind bars
And I love everything
You've learnt to ignore
But you don't wanna hear
If you've heard it before...
Daniel sounds as if he was a former cutter, but he's no longer a slave to his scars...and in the lines "but you don't wanna hear, if you've heard it before...", he's telling his fans that all his past musical pieces have been about pain and suffering, because he thought that was the only way he thought he could produce something meaningful, but now he sees that happiness has its moments as well...
boy, that was long. Ah, well. This song is beautiful.
