yeah well dean grew up hating his dad because of what he did, which was quite selfish. however, dean is only fulfilling the circle by continuing to hate his dad and not being able to get over it. i feel this is what this song is all about. its a kind of weird ending to a cd like this because the thing i was always wondering is what happens to the baby, wonder if he keeps it and raises it or runs away like his parents. i like to think the end of the song is advice his dad is giving him, which ultimately helps him and he keeps the kid. if you look at the story every generation got a little closer to their child they didn't want, so maybe this breaks the running and he finally takes account for his actions. the end with dean talking explains why he is this way, why he bulds walls up and doesn't trust anyone. also kinda why he doesn't know who he is. the town he lives in was filled with rich people who cared about stories rather than who you are. so he held on to this story and defined himself through that instead of trying to get past it. we are all a result of our environment. awesome, i just can't believe ace redid the story like 9 times and came up with this awesome ending. but then again, wonder what the other stories were like, haha...peace out ya'll
good point on "he held on to this story and defined himself through that instead of trying to get past it." i was wondering why he was putting emphasis on stories and having big mouths, but i think what you're saying makes sense: people get caught up in their pasts, their stories, their reputations, and gossip that they become those things. they continue feeling bad for themselves, and let those experiences define them instead of letting them help them grow. although it's good to reflect, we have to see things for what they are, that the past is the past...

i've made another realization about the emphasis on "the best storyline". a lot of times we want big things to happen in our lives, good lives like good stories because we watch some pretty good movies. but life isn't always so big. in fact, life isn't about only those big defining moments. they are only small parts of our lives. it is more realistic to see that everyday moments, all the little things in everyday life, are just as important. these are abundant and more accurately describe our life, as it is literally most of your life. how do you...

more generally put, there are big stories and little stories in our lives but none are to be dismissed, forgotten, or shrugged off. put yourself into every moment of your life. it is where you actually are, not your past nor your plans.
