I agree with the above, it's about death - but for some reason, this song screams "suicide" to me.
"Dig deep, dig in deeper.
You go where only fools fear to tread.
You'll find devices to kill your master.
Why not kill your maker instead?"
Digging, as in you're digging your own grave.
Kill your master - kill the reason why you're upset, or suicidal.
Kill your maker - kill the maker of the upset, which is yourself.
"Leave it to the ones that own you…
Leave it to the one to disown you…
Put your faith and trust in the dusk.
Do what you must do…"
You're leaving the grief with those who are still living. To "put your faith and trust in the dusk" I think is to say "This situation is the death of me, I can't get out of it" - to be suicidal over something.
"I'm getting edgy…
For those departed…
Left all alone…
Left still forgotten!"
He's getting edgy for those who didn't get to live their life to the fullest. Obviously, Dez has got to have a pretty good life right now, and he's sad that some people don't experience it all.
"Miles to go and sky's to fly
Hold back the day…
Miles to go and sky’s to fly
It's darkest before the dawn…"
I think this bit is saying that he's got miles to go and skies to fly - he wants to hold back the day he'll die. "It's darkest before the dawn" is one of the best metaphors I've heard. He's saying that people shouldn't be upset or suicidal, there's so much more in life to live for.
"Claw hard from your casket.
Six feet and getting deeper.
Should the top soil feel heavy,
It must be getting weaker.
Towers people build, up in life…
Become frail and fall to the ground…
Fuck them, their opinion.
Deceiving the Honest Man!!"
This verse to me is about the act of committing suicide itself. "Fuck them, their opinion, decieving the honest man" to me is saying that it's as if you're decieving all those who appreciated your life when you do it.
Maybe all that is a load of bullshit and doesn't make a bit of sense, but that's just my opinion and my interpretation. Take it as you may.
