ok ok ok... on almost every entry i have made. i have noticed people arent just talking about what thie song means. most of them are talking about how awesome the "shit" is. and not talking about the lyrics at all...

anyway. this song means keep pushing on and on. till you get to your destination. no matter how hard it is (through the fire and the flames we carry on!) keep your eye on it. and never give up. now some people just look at the lyrics and "translate" them for word for word. if you do that your rarely gonna find the "real" meaning of the song your looking at. you have to summarize each verse. and then put it all together.

That method has It's merits. But is very peronal and reletivistic. It is theway someone cn find what a song means to them. Explication or line-by-lin analysis is the method I use. See my explication of Operation Ground And Poound, or the on I did o Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne to better understand the term. Explication clarifies any hard to catch single line meanings or obscure allusions that 97% of people will miss while allwing people still to cometo heir own conclusionsaboutthe big pictue.

@bvillans You can do a more objective line-for-line or stanza-for-stanza analysis of a piece, but for me I always just kind of have to read or write down the whole thing and listen to it a bunch of times to really find my own meaning. Because yeah songs generally have a particular universal meaning, but what a piece means to me is generally very personal and arcane. I think it's all subjective.

@bvillans THANK YOU. Holy shit. I'm gonna downvote every single other one and upvote yours. Fucking kids in this thread, damn.
