this song is about the pervasive power of music, rock especially. every line is a testament to the sheer beauty of rock. the line "what have you done, Mark David Chapman?" is obviously referencing the assassination of Lennon, and symbolically characterizing it as a tragedy of rock n' roll. keely is very poetic and subversive throughout the song, but the connections to music creating such a catharsis in people is clear.
"So let this be a drink to calm the shaking hands that you've found. Let this be release, forever unwound."
@intrepidtraveler Hate to break it to you, but this is not a Conrad Keely song but rather a Neil Busch song, his first as a member of the group actually.
