A Strange Day

i dont think its about the end of the world. i think its the end of his world. i think its his suicide played out. he cant see the beauty of the world through his own eyes... "Give me your eyes That I might see the blind man kissing my hands The sun is humming My head turns to dust"

the beauty kills him, makes him sad, his mind cant process the beauty. he knows its there, but he cant see it through his foggy/depressed state.

"And the sand And the sea grows I close my eyes Move slowly through drowning waves Going away on a strange day"

he walks into the water, i refer to water because it says sea and sand and waves, but really i think it can be applied to any smothering thing, life itself, too many drugs, anything that leads to the end.hes ready to die. the sea gets higher around his body, slowly up to his neck. he keeps walking out towards the deepness, pushing through the waves.

"And I laugh as I drift in the wind Blind Dancing on a beach of stone"

i love this line... one of my most favourite of any song. here im not sure, maybe hes thinking back, as hes walking/swimming to his death. hes happy that hes blind to the ugliness of the world, and happy the end of his world is coming.

"My head falls backs And the walls crash down And the sky And the impossible Explode Held for one moment I remember a song An impression of sound Then everything is gone Forever"

here its obvious, hes under, and the end comes.

one of my favourite songs. i think it can also be applied to a drug overdose too... same theory. except with another self destructive method.
