i've loved this song for a long time, but this weekend it really took meaning to me. i took a risk this weekend that landed me in the hospital. i have to say, it wasn't the smartest thing i've ever done. but hell, if i didn't try it, i would've lived the rest of my life knowing i didn't take the risk. those who chace the sorrow and the shame take a riske of making fools of themselves, but to me, you can't make choices based on what others will think of you. you have to take chances in order to be who you want to be. you can look at this song along the lines of love, being something you've always dreamt of being, taking a risk, or just plain being who you want to be and nothing else. you can't live life to the fullest if you don't take any chances. it's like the man says:
life is not tried
it is merely survived
if you're standing
outside the fire
