alright.. first of all i want to comment upon all the stupidity thats going on on this site.. seriously.. this site is about INTERPRETATION! it is not about "[enter band name] RULEZ!!" or "THIS song ROCKS!!".. if you dont have something that adds to the overall descussion of what the song means, dont say anything. there are tons and tons of forums for all of you little fanboys to do this kind of thing. go do it there. and you can even say that the song rules, but explain why it rules, what it means, and what it makes you think and feel.
now then, i think that this section:
"Have we lost the spark or a guide?
What’s the latest on the screen?
Can’t be too late to turn around.
I need all the help from you.
I need to find something to blame for a long lost time
I’m running from something, I don’t know.
I’m searching for something, which way to go?
I’m trying to separate what’s real.
I’m running in a wheel.
Is it dark or is it bright?
What’s the latest on the screen?
Can you please tell me my name?
I haven’t checked it today.
I’m running from something, I don’t know.
I’m searching for something, which way to go?
I’m trying to separate what’s real.
I’m running in a wheel."
is about our lostness as people in our society. its about the fact that those who actually try to search for truth are having a hard time finding it, because most people find their meaning and purpose in the glow of thier television screens. there is soo much information out there, with tv, books, and the internet that is easy to get lost in, especially when things are so confusing. one group says this, the other says that, and all of it contradicts the other. some say no truth, some say absolute truth, some say they have no idea.
"From green to red our days pass by
waiting for a sign to tell us why.
Are we dancing all alone?
Collect some stars to shine for you,
and start today cause there are only a few.
The sign of times my friend.
Avoid infinity?
Are you for real?
Just scratch the surface,
and you will find,
something to blame for a long lost time.
From green to red our days pass by
waiting for a sign to tell us why.
Are we dancing all alone?
Collect some stars to shine for you,
and start today cause there are only a few.
The sign of times my friend."
This section is a slight shift. its observing that we live life on 2 speeds, GO and Stop. you only stop when your unconscious, and then you get up and GO the next day, chasing after whatever your life is all about (that thing which the tv, or the internet probably told you was important). it goes on to say the we are all waiting for some sort of cosmic, grand sign to tell us why we live the way we do, or if we should be different, or tell us pretty much anything really. it is the grandest version of WHY. it is the basic striving for meaning in the human heart.
Then he suggests to grab opertunities and joys wherever you can, because they are few and far between, because of the time of existance, and the society, in which we live. i also love the line where he says "avoid infinity? are you for real?". this is to those who go on just NOT thinking about the great life questions, those who worship thier tv screens, and go on living in obsinate and willful ignorance. that is no way to live.
i love these lyrics because the demand that there has to be some sort of meaning for life, and that so many are missing it. there has to be a purpse greater than our own entertainment, our own fixation upon our money, our posessions, and our good times. our lives cannot possibly be the empty and monotonous droning on towards death and death alone, rendering all that was accomplished without value or reason. if that were the case it would not matter what we did on this earth, for it would end up the same for everyone... nothingness.
