"I've seen all good people turn their heads each day
so satisfied I'm on my way."-
It sounds like someone is going off to war and has the town's support. I mean, you'd have to do something REALLY brave to have like everyone in town turn their heads to you and look satisfied at you and your mission.
Other possibilities: Growing up...people could be looking at a kid full of innocence walking down the street, seeing potential to do good in him.
Getting married- though this would be later contradicted ("she hasn't got time to make you a wife")
Or maybe he's going to buy drugs and just thinks everybody loves him.
"Take a straight and stronger course to the corner of your life.
Make the white queen run so fast she hasn't got time to make you a wife."
War Theory:
Go out and see the corners of the world (the army will do this)...white is the color of innocence, so maybe she is trying to marry him to nonviolence but he is too patriotic not to kill for his country.
Growing up theory: Be competetive and focused, don't let sex bog you down
Drug Buying Theory: the "corner" is mentioned...the "white queen", cocaine, should be avoided at all costs
'Cause it's time, is time in time with your time and its news it captured
For the queen to use.
Move me on to any black square,
Use me any time you want,
Just remember that the goal
Is for us all to capture all we want.
Yea, yea, yea.
I always thought they were saying "Cause is time", which makes sense to me and answers some of my philosophical questions...
War Theory: "News is captured"- the media and how it spins stories either liberally or conservativily, "for the queen to use", something like My Lai (a civillian massacre) is used by those who want the innocent to not be hurt, which would involve withdrawing troops, since militants posed as civilians. the "goal" to "capture all we want" is when the soldier is getting cynical and sees the military as a political chess piece. The "yeah yeah yeahs" is him mocking his commanders.
Growing up theory: Feed your innocence, don't be corrupted. Let the fates use me, but know I am in it to live life to the fullest.
Cop Drugs theory: you've heard so much news about pot you finally capture it for yourself. Let it release the kid in you. Use it recreationally, don't let it get in the way of your goals or deplete your bank account.
Don't surround yourself with yourself,
Move on back two squares,
Send an instant karma to me,
Initial it with loving care
If you want to know what a person is like, look at their friends.
War Theory: Now the soldier is really adament about leaving and wants to get back to where his real friends are. He has been a good person all his life and believes in karma, so he is hoping he will not get killed and brought home without incident.
Growing Up Theory: Don't hang out with people who are like "yes-men", get some people who you can debate with and have lengthy dialouge and discussions. Interesting people who will teach you something. Also, don't feel trapped by your decisions. If you feel you make a mistake, don't think you can't still be honest to yourself or desired ones.
Drug Copping Theory: Don't make best friends with hardcore drug users and don't get high by yourself and not be social. If you do, break it off before it's too late.
