To me, this song represents what depression and isolation in younger years can result in - feeling trapped in a sort of 'secret' world, unable to actually put your finger on why it was you created this world in the first place. I think it's about trapping yourself in your head and thinking you're somehow better or different to everyone else - then realising that you may not be, but still having this 'empire' that you automatically retreat into. 'My ideology it is dead and gone' - You can't remember what you were striving for when you were younger. 'Almost forgotten for the eye to see' - But you know that you never achieved it.
I think you are absolutely right jukebox. Thank you for a very well thought-out, intuitive interpretation. I completely identify with this song, I can't help tearing up when I listen to it, and it actually reminds me of the previous track on this album 'Tsunami'. I'm sure the Silent Twins felt this way in their older years, similar to how my twin sister and I feel now.
