To me this is easily the best track off Euphoria (which by their earlier standards is distinctly average). Anyway, the meaning. I don't know why but to me the lyrics seem at least in part to describe a boy who is abused by their father. For example "hurt to remember", "help to forget", Is the anger inside of you, a gift from father to sun" (He has great anger at the thought of his abuse and his father abused him hence "a gift from father to sun". The lines "Blind to all the damage done", and "Waiting for the tide to turn" suggest that they are doing nothing at the moment to stand up for themselves and make it stop. That would seem to be the main meaning of this song. A boy being abused by his father and doing nothing about apart from wishing it would stop.
There's so much more depth I could go nto but i feel i should leave that to other posters.
I actually think your real close. But it talks about walking the broken land. To add, I think it's someone who's confused in their later life. And who's been confused. 'There's nothing left to justify', the person who makes excuses to justify why his life is the way it is or why they do things the way they do. But they they refuse to believe they actually know. And you're right, my mind is full of things for this song. Love the hell outta it. It is the best song on the album in my opinion.
